Grangers Ask That Routes Be Short
ened and Horse Driven Wagons
Restored in a Number ofCases
Rural residents of Delaware who
have been kicking and kicking again
concerning what has been called ''ab-
ominable and unsatisfactory" rural
free mail delivery are at last to have
their complaint given ear and adjust
ment Through the efforts of Sena-
tor Salisbury the postmaster general
has directed that instruction be issued |
at once 10 Postoffice Inspector Plummer |
to arrange and readjust all Tursl
routes in Delaware where ever such
action is found TO be necessary IN
order TO give rural residents the benefit
of strictly first class service. II
was intimated that the action of Mr..
| Plummer in this matter will be predi-
| lated. in a great measure, on the basis
| of the complaints received and wishes
of those persons, residents along the
various routes who are most interested.
Ii will be remembered that when
the various routes were, for the most
part, rearranged by consolidation Of
two or more into one, and automobile
service made the rule. there rose i'm
mediately a storm Of protest, which
finally eliminated in drastic resolu-
tions being adopted by the Pomona
Grange. Patrons of Hdsbandry. and
which they forwarded to Washington
with a vigorous protest against the
operation of conditions as they then
existed. The Grange vigorously op-
posed the new automobile innovation,
which they contended soon proved it.
self impracticable. and that it was
not nearly as efficient as the horse
mobile delivery. which. at least,
kept on going and was not dependent
either upon technical driving knOwl'
edge. the vagaries of caIburetors, mol
high price of gasoline. They fought
with equal vigor the consolidation
Of rural routes and the changes o.
their initial starting points. This
apparently was the only organized
effort made to correct the "evils" OF
which complaints had been made
others who registered protests sgains
the inefficiency of the service havinl
made individual complaints to tn
postmasters involved. However i
is safe to assume that Postoffice In
spector Plummer, when he receive
the orders which the dispatch from
Washington stated we're to be issued
will straighten the whole matter on
in a manner that will be efficient an
satisfactory TO all concerned.

EMIL LOSE.

The kilograms from Denmmk the other
day brought the news Of the death of old
Pastor Lose.
Though ii is now about 80 years since he
left the d.. W. l., many stIil romembsr HIM.
And no wonder, because he was a man
above the ordinary.
He cnme out here in Jan. 1867 (the year
of the great earthquake) and ms first parish
was in Frederiksted In 1871 he was relnoy-
ed to ST. Thomne, aud III 1881 10 Christians
sted, from where he left for Denmark IN 1881
after having worked out here for more tuAn
20 years.
No Other Lutheran clergyman, since the
Danish colonisatiou commtucad, has been
serving as long as he did in the ID. w. [.
GA his return to Denmark he took over a
parish III Fyn, where he worked for about 20
years. Since 1907 he has lived as pa tor
emeritus liz Copenhagen.
Few Danish ministers out here have
been working with greater energy and
perseverance, than Pastor Lose, who kept
up the discipline with a strong haud accord
ing TO what old people tell.
At that time the Danish ministers had
besides their church worn inspect The
schools-but as only 3 ministers were APP
pointed in Mi the 3 islands, and as the vacan-
cies therefore Were freqnepf,-,oo much was
laid on these mems shoulders, and often the
consequence was, hat both church and
schools were neglected..
But Pastor Lose could got time both 10
attend to his congreg atom and to visit the
schools, ard besides he found time even for
literary work (f. i. the working out in Eng
lish of the present Lutheran ManuaD.
AS many of the old ministers he was a
man of great learning, and it is not too much
to say, that he had more knowledge of the his
tory of the Danish West Indies, than any ther
man living row. From the Government
archives. from the church records, from the
records. of the old companies in the islands
and from many other sources, he gathered

Flag Day for Reunion

The reunion finance committee and the representatives of the Daughters of the Confectionery acted wisely in their conference yesterday in deciding to have flag day instead of a button day, for the benefit of the reunion en- fund. Also it was wise decision to leave the price optional with the purchaser.
 It had been announced that reunion buttons would be sold at $1 apiece. With the sum to be paid left to the buyer, probably as much money will be realized as if the price were fixed at s1, and possibly the total receipts will be even larger.
 The flag is the natural emblem of a veterans organization, and as these little tokens to he offered on May C will be fitting souvenirs of an historic gathering, they should be in great de mand
 Thousands of people will gladly pay

Keep House Painters Busy

President Commissioner Wards irl- junction to paint up" and "dress up" before the reunion dates should be obeyed by property owners, especially those owning houses on residential thoroughfares.
 Birmingham is having it's spring cleaning, and as there is no excuse for any one to leave trash on the prem ises, the entire city should present tidy appearances; but next in inn portance to keeping yards clean is the application of paint to the ex- terior of wooden houses and paint to the woodwork of brick houses. It is economy.
 Let the householder practice little self-denial, if necessary, in order to give his residence coat or two of paint. Many homes have already been put in spick-span condition so far as paint goes, but too many are con- spicuous by the lack of fresh paint.
 Every house painter should be kept busy from now until the 16 of May. It will pay.

Fort Complimented

T am very glad to learn that Judge w. D. Fort has no opposition in his race for reelection as judge of the circuit court in Jefferson county" said E. W. Hausman. former warrant clerk of the state auditors office, who is now canA didate for clerk of the circuit court of Tuscaloosa "I recall when Judge Fort was in the governors office at Montgom- cry as private secretary, and he was one of the most popular officials who ever served in the state capitol
 When Governor Conner appointed Judge Fort as member of the bench of Jefferson county, all the state capitol officials made up a purse to present him with some kind of remembrance. The negro jantors and porters of the capitol heard of the movement, and they came to us and begged to be allowed to take part in the offering. Of course, they were allowed that privilege. I have heard that Judge Fort has made a splendid member of the bench, and all the officials of the state who served with him in the capitol are highly gratified at these re- ports. However, I might add that we are not at all surprised to learn that he has made good to such an extent that he has no opposition for reelection

EauitabIe Official Here

Henry l.. Rosenfeld, fourth vice president of the Equitable Life Assur- ance society, has just paid visit to Bir- the situation he found in this district" :" said G. T. Sibley, state manager for the company, yesterday.
 "A number of agents from Birming- ham and nearby points were present to meet Mir. Rosenfeld.
 "A luncheon was rendered at the South ern club, and among those present, in addition to MT. Rosenfeld, were T. s. Christopher of Gadsden, Ben H. Walker of Tuscaloosa, J. M. VanDerVeer of Clanton, M. Bradford, s. s. Carpenter. L. H. Baker, E. s. Martin, H. E. Steiner. H. S. Sibley. w. c. Wimbish, W. l. Whiteman, and R. s. Wetmore of Bir- mingham. Also Mr. Glenn Gagzam, the Equitab,e's appraiser in Birmingham.
 MT. Rosenfeld is a southern man. At lanta being his former home. He ex- pressed himself as highly gratified at con ditions south, particularly over the won- derful growth and progress of the city of Birmingham. MT. Rosenfeld's last visit to Birmingham was 30 years ago, and he stated it was absolutely impossible te place himself so many changes had been made.
 MT. Rosenfeld spent the day in in. specting the large number of business and residence loans in Birmingham, anc the agency was commended on the ex' cellent selection through which the so ciety's investments were made in this section.
 MT Rosenfeld left last night for visit to the Memphis agency"

Restore Grade of Lieutenant -Gener;

Restore Grade of Lieutenant G eneral
 The conference committee on the Senate and House military bills will have no easy task in going over details and affecting compromises which will result in reasonably good prepared ness measure being reported to Con- gross for passage.
 As between regular army of 140, ,000 proposed by Chairman Hays con- mittee and agreed to by the House, and an army of 25o,00O provided for in the Senate bill, there probably will be a compromise on 100000. With a re- servist provision framed in both bills, the regular establishment should at the end of five years have a trained force of more than double it's strength at the start
 The volunteer army will hardly be accepted by the conferees, but it is believed that the National Guard feat ure will be retained. If this is done Uncle Sam will have in the course of a few years, an army of 100000 dis, ciplined men, on peace footing. And that should suffice.
 But in the stress and strain of com mittee work the conferees should not overlook the clause in the Senate bill that restores the grade of lieutenant general and makes it a permanent rank for the chief of staff, whoever he may be. The ranking officer of large
 army should never be below the grade of lieutenant-genera
