as the reason profits were better. This
was done without q strike" on the
partof the operatives, too. This shows
what can be done when people pursue a
live-and-let-live policy. ,.v a
AS to the postoffice departments s ac-
ton in disturbing the rural free delivery
service by trying to combine two soutes
in one and have the service rendered in
automobiles, it seems to be meeting
with much opposition wherever it has
been tried out. 1t seems to me to be a
very serious mistake on the part of the
postoffice officials. 1t means for one of
the old routes to be served good por-
tion of the year by sub-carrier, and
that means Inefficient service. The
rural free delivery is the greatest thing
the national government has ever given
the masses of our people and for the
government to badly cripple the service
under the false notion of trying to econ
omise is simply deplorable. 1t is to be
hoped that enough congressman and
senators will make such vigorous pro-
test that it will be discontinued and the
routes that have been changed put back
as before and each carrier given his
same place.
Sam Nichols is doing his best to stop
any contemplated changes in his dis
trict. Let us hope he may be success
full.
The postotfice department is about the
only branch of the government that is
in any way near self-sustaining. Then
why do anything that will in any way
hamper the service to the country peo-
pie? JOHN A. HORTON.

Strange Story of Matrimonial Expert
ence.

Seattle -mtelligencer, April IA. }
Out of the maze of matrimonial
troubles that were aired in superior
court yesterday when sixty-two III
vorce cases came up for trial is the
case of c, Richard Taliafero, late of
the United States army, and who was
married for six years without know
ing it. Judge J. NJ. Jackson, who
heard the ease, announced that be-
cause the case was so unusual he would
take the matter under advisement in
order that the principal points might
be substantiated.
Iallafero was company clerk in the
detachment of infantry stationed at
/ Fort Wright, Spokane, in 1909. He
had been married and divorced.
! On June /, 1909, his company was
/ ordered to the Philippines. Taliafere
/ was called into the captain s office and
| asked to sign a paper. Without read
! ing It, he told the court yesterday, he
/ affixed his signature to It. On Nov
ember 20, 1918, after he had been dis
charged from the army he returned
home and remarked the wife that ha(
been divorced from him years before
He then discovered that he was mar
ried to woman who had been mail
to his former captain s wife at For
Wright. The paper which he so care
lessly signed was a marriage certificate
Taliafero told the court yesterday
Tire maid, herself, was as unaware 0,
the fact that she was Mrs. Taliafert
as was TaIiafero himself.
He asked an annulment Eesterla'
} of the marriage to avoid possibilitt
Of bigamy charge being filed agains
contest the suit On the witness stan,
Taliafero said. that he believed tina
the marriage was subterfuge to en-
able the maid to be taken to the Phil
: ippines and to permit her to go at tn
expense of the government. He de
t clared that no marriage ceremon
Twas performed
