there has been a general COM

Further, this complaint has, ap-
parently, been steadily increasing
during the past two years, indi-
eating growing inefhciency that
is in on wise alleviated by the
frequent assertion of the postal
authorities that the present SER
vice is the best in the history OF

painfully clear to the people of
Nome as the service to this neck

pie evidences of deterioration

given consideration, it is remark

the mails. In consequence, II the

lhat Is 50 pam that even a man
without Urdhlo SnOuIa be aole IL
GeanZe 1t. 80, the result OF grow
ing dissatisfaction over the SLOW
ness OF the mans has been that
business has complained loudly.
This may be the reason why the
department officials have taken
occasion to send out assurances
that the service was the best ever.
1t is PROBABLY fair surmise that,
with business badly alsgruntled,
the department was poAIpa4ue4
with Kicks plenty. In such cir
CumstanceS assurances that every
thing was as good as could be,
would be in perfect order.
Did not we OF Nome receive
assurances that our own service
was all right ana that tne,e nas
no congestion OF mail known to
the Seattle ONCE Tins is digres-
sing, however. According to
our information, the complaints
mentioned were finally carried to
the ears OF number OF congress
men and were the subject OF
comment during the consldera-
ton of legislative matters con
nected with the postottlce de-
partment. And, that the COM
plants were not mere idle talk
but were founded on good sub
stantial basis of fact was attested
by several of the congressman
themselves out Of their own
knowledge of the conditions. Con
gresham Humphrey was one OF
those who cited their own expert
ences by way of confirming tht
general complaint that the ser
vice was exceedingly poor Al
ter telling of several complaints
brought to his attention he gave
a most impressive illustration OF
just how poor the mail service is
by telling his fellow congressman
of brother of his who lives in
one of the suburbs of New York
city where a Letter from Washing
ton is not delivered until two or
three days after it is mailed at
the capital. Il can get on a train
and be in his house in five hours
and half" said Mr.. Humphrey.
But, if | get a letter from him
or if he gets one of my letters
and it reaches him in less than
forty eight hours we think it IS
doing we'll"
why does not the gentlemen
take the letter with him when he
goes over?" facetiously inquired
Congressman Moore OF Pennsyl
vania. THE reason that | do not
take the letter with ME is that |
mail it and get there first" re-
piled Mr.. Humphrey.
The Washington congressman
then called attention to a COM
munication from the Merchants
Association of New York, show
ing that a bulletin mailed by the
association before noon on Satu.-
day did not reach the Borough of
Richmond, on Staten island, until
Wednesday at o:I5, "takino,' as
, Mr.. Humphrey remarked, for a
6I-2 mile journey, the leisurely
time of 90 hours" OF course, Mr..
Humphrey is politically opposed
to the present administration. bu,
he must at least be credited with
presenting an approximation Of
the facts Even allowing for some
= eXaggeration, it must be conced-
ed that his statements are a
damning indictment of the dilia-
tory methods Of the postofice de-
) partment. With such evidence as
this spread before us, we need
wonder no longer why it is that
