There are some who think that the

by the per capita expenditure for
postal accommodation, which has
grown from $2.5S in 1912 to nearly
SO in 1916. Greater postal facili-
ties mean not only more patrons but
more is spent in postage because of
these afforded cOnveniences, and the
public revenue thereby considerably
increased.
Village delivery. The introduce
ton of this new feature of public ac-
commodation, supplying the need OF
people who were not included in
either city or rural delivery, marks a
progressive step in postal improve
ments which has met with general
satisfaction and will prove of great
benefit to patrons who are now be-
ing given the service. Two hundred
and seventeen small municipalities
are already enjoying these free-de-
livery advantages, and the number
will be rapidly increased.
Rural delivery. New routes have
been established and extended in ov-
er ten thousand localities, affording
service to approximately 100000
patrons previously without it. The
number of families who now have
this service amounts to 5,71g,6O2, as
shown by recent tabulation made,
of which over 658,OOO were added
between April, 1913, and April, 1916,
an evidence Of remarkable activity
in the management of this branch Of
postal affairs, as gratifying to the
Department as it must be to those
who are its beneficiaries. Rural de-
livery now accommodates 26,3O7,685
patrons, and the delivery by automo-

A RECORD OF
STEWARDSHIP
What Has Been Accomplished in The
Postal Service During This Adj
ministIation Betterments And
Progress in ALI Directions.

All the great departments of the
Government are naturally interested
in having their administration of
these important trusts approved by
the people-the progress and notable
achievements made by each brought
to public notice. The Postal Service,
from its very close relation to all
classes, touching them at all points
as common carrier, as well as the
watchful guardian of certain of their
public interests and comfort, is pc
culiarly concerned that it's efforts in
the line of public service shall mea-
sure up to their fullest needs and
merit their approving consent. No
administration of public affairs, how
ever, can hope to escape criticism,
no matter how well conducted, for
even the measures of wise and jul
dicious economy may cause COM
plant when old-established methods
and customs are disturbed by the
march of progressive reforms. Pub
lie administrators, however, look to
the larger accomplishments possible,
and it is the adherence to this prin-
ciple which has enabled the Post
The daily banner. (Cambridge, Md.) 1897-2008, 1916-09-25
Office Department to do so much for
the general welfare during the past

Office Department to do so much for
the general welfare during the past
few years.
Take, for instance, the parcel post.
The wider view of possible benefits
has simplified mailing conditions,
twice reduced the rates, Increased
the limits of size and weight several
times, and extended express facili-
ties not only to cities and towns on
regular transportation lines, but to
the people along million miles of
rural route. Practical aid has also
been given in developing the idea so
that producer and consumer are
alike benefited, waste measurably
eliminated, and living conditions
made better. A traffic reaching a
billion parcels annually testifies the
popular appreciation of this great
public accommodation.
Postal savings. Unnecessary re-
strictions have been removed and
the plan popularized and encouraged,
thus bringing into circulation the
boarded savings of the poor by the
assured security of Government con-
troll. That the public appreciates the
advantage thus afforded is seen in
the increased number of depositors
from 10000 to 1000, and in the
amount deposited from $30,036,325
to s92,OOO,OOO.
City delivery has been extended to
100000 additional homes, thereby
according this benefit to something
like 100000 people in all hereto
fore denied this service. That this
enlargement of privilege and oppor-
tunity was a wise measure is shown

bile and other means of conveyance
shows an increase of II, 484, 40S par
cells in the past three years.
The inclusion of books in parcel
post classification is another advanc-
ed step for public benefit, materially
reducing postage on such matter, an
item of considerable interest to
reading people.
The Objectionable use to which
window-delivery service may be sub
jected has led to an active and Wig
orous campaign by the Department
to check the possibility of making
this public accommodation channel
for unworthy purposes. This par
ticular service offers such opportuni-
ty for misuse that especial supervi-
sion is necessary to prevent it, and
this will be given.
One thousand new steel cars have
been placed on the lines of the
Railway Mail Service for the protec-
ton of postal clerks and liability
law enacted for the relief of en-
ployes engaged in this hazardous
service. Mail transportation has al
so been increased on 6,248.09 miles
of railway.
The question of the betterment of
the road problem has been consid-
cred and taken up by cooperation
with the Department of Agriculture
and with the States and counties in
the construction of post roads, which
is expected to result in continued
improvement, and facilitate to a
great extent the work of the rural
carrier in travelling these roads.
The large post offices of the coun-
try have been standardized, and
new and up-to-date methods adopted
by which better and more efficient
service can be secured. The advant-
age of this is seen in the rapid ac-
complishment OF the annual audit of
the revenue and expense of the De-
partment for the present fiscal year,
the earliest report ever made in the
history of tn Post Offic Department,
which is entirely due to improved
systems of accounting and the high
standard of efficiency among post
masters.
Great economies in the purchase
and manufacture of mail equipment
have been carried out, whereby vast
sums OF money are annually saved to !

ton.
The fraud-law statutes to prevent
the use of the mails for swindling
purposes have been vigorously en-
forced and will be continued for the
public protection. I

neutrality Of President WILSON has
not been what it should haze been.
The Germans claim that he has not
been neutral; the English and
French claim that he has interfered
seriously with their plans to starve
out their enemies, and yet all of
these look to the United States for
help when this awful war is over.
Mr.. Hughes has kept very quiet, how
ever, upon this question. He fears to
express himself frankly for fear that
he will lose the German-American
support, likewise, too, he fears to Of
fend the remaining naturalized vote.
His position upon this question is
the same as it is upon other ques-
tions; he offers no definite plan, but
hopes by fault-finding to get enough
voters dissatisfied to secure his cleo
ton. Such a campaign is a ref1ec-
ton upon the intelligence of the
American people.

The newspapers supporting those
Wall Street financiers who want Mr..
Hughes elected so that the good old
high tariff times may return, are so
obsessed with the idea that the aver
age voter believes anything he is
told, that in their editorial and po-
litical columns they wall for a return
to the high tariffs that the voters of
this country have so often repudi-
ated, claiming that such tariffs are
necessary for the prosperity of the
country, while in the business col
umns they print statements from
the heads of the great railways sys-
TENS, the Steel trusts and the larg-
est business organizations in the
country to the effect that business
was never better in the history of the
country, and that the outlook is for
continuation of the present pros
perity for a great many more years.
Whose views will the voters accept
as right, those of the politicians, who
have an axe to grind, or those of
leaders of business who state facts
as they find them?

DEAFNESS CANNOT
BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure ca
tarrhal deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
Deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever. Many cases of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh, which
is an infiamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces. Halls Catarrh acts
through the blood on the mucous sur
faces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
