TO CHANGE POSTOFFICE SYS.
TEN

Plans by which the present method
of presidential appointment of post
masters will be abolished and APP
pointments made instead under the
civil service are under consideration
by the -postoffice department. Post
master General Burleson, whoSi is pre-.
pairing his annual report, is expected
TO recommend that congress this win.
ter pass a law to this effect.
If adopted the act will take away
from members of congress their in
fluence in the selection of postmas-
tiers and remove from politics a sub
ject OF patronage the country over.
Among many members of congress
there is a strong sentiment for the
law.
The department.. it is said, has been
handicapped in some OF its progress
sive measures because postinasters
were chosen for their popularity
rather than for their business ability.
The plan proposed would make
postmastership a business which a
man must first qualify for before re-
ceiving an appointment. 1t would
make possible the promotion OF a
postmaster from a small office to a
larger one, and instead of installing a
postmaster for a four-year term to
remain in one place he would be in
stalled in the office he is best fitted
for. If it were found that a postmas-
ter serving in an office with receipts
of $4,000 was qualified to serve in an
office with receipts of 100000 lie
would be in line for promotion &c
such an office.
BY this method the service, it is Gc-
clared, would be improved and at the
same time would be economical and
placed on a business basis.
The proposed change would affect
9,192 postmasters, the number now
appointed by the president. OF these
567 are first class, 2,2l2 second class
6,4l3 third class.

PARCEL POST RATES EXCES.
SIVE

A writer in n of the New York
papers calls attention to the excessive
rates of the parcel post, in many in
stances greater than those Of the eX-
press companies. In stating his own
experiences, added to which he makes
some suggestions, he says:
The parcel post is a blessing, but it
has glaring faults. They are talking
of improving it, and there is much
need. Let me make some sugges-
tons.
The charge is altogether too high
for distant zones; 8 cents a pound
would be really high for the most dis
tant ones. The express companies
carry for 8 cents at an enormous prof
it and why should the government
ask more?
Let me illustrate. Today l sent
some seeds to a customer in South
Dakota. I desired to send by parcel
post, but the charge would have been
$40. The express carried it for 90
cents and made a big profit.
This profit the postoffice depart
ment lost-not much in itself, but
multiply it by a million and see wha-
you get.
The parcel post rate on most arti-
cles under one pound is out of all
reason-l cent per ounce TIP to four
ounces, over four ounces at pound
rate. This is much higher for dis
tant zones than the old rate before
the parcel post. Indeed, the rate for
four and a quarter to FIVE ounces is
nearly three times the old rate, being
now actually higher than letter post
age.
This is very unjust and should be
remedied at once by making all rates
under one pound I ZEN per two
ounces up to the pound rate.

ELECTORAL COLLEGE DE
FECTS

Another change in the federal con-
stitution almost, if not equally, as
necessary as the election of senators
by popular vote is the abolition of the
electoral college, says the Catholic
Register of Denver. The method OF
electing our presidents is absurd, but
this is not the worst charge that can
be brought against it. In not per-
hitting. a popular vote for president,
and compelling the voters to choose
so many electors from each state, we
offer an inducement for the corrupt
EXPENDITURE of money in the doubtful
states, especially in those states such
as New York and Indiana, which are
unfortunate enough to have a large
number of electors. Money is On
centrated on those centers. The CAM
paigr is neglected in other sections,
and the whole effort of politicians and
large business interests seems to he
to capture the three or four pivotal
states.
Appeals to prejudice and passion
and worse still, to the cupid,ty OF
voters in the doubtful states having
the largest electoral vote, leads to
decentralization and corruption Of gov
eminent, and gives certain %populous
communities an undue share of pow
err. The next great political reform
will be the election of president by
popular vote. The notion that We
should elect Our president by the IN
direct method is a survival of the
superstition that the people could not
be trusted to select the men that were
best fitted to serve them. With the
notable exception of Franklin and
two or three members Of the consti-
tutional convention, the great major
ity Of those that comprised that body
were afraid of the people. They held
secret sessions behind closed doors,
and prohibited the publication q
their proceedings. These were not
published until years afterward, in TIE
late thirties, when. the federal govern
ment under Jackson's administration,
purchased Madison's Journal of the
constitutional convention. 1t was a
misfortune that Jefferson was in
France at the time it was held. The
best part Of the constitution, the
amendments forced by Jefferson, was
written into it afterwards.

THE BEST PREACHER

Martin Luther in his autobiography
said: 81 have one preacher that ]
love better than any other upon earth
it is my little tame robin, which
breaches to me daily. l put his
crumbs on my window-sill, especially
at night. He hops to the sill when
he wants his supply, and takes as
much as he desires to satisfy his
need. Frem thence he always hops
on to a little tree close by, and lifts
up his voice to God, and sings his
carol of praise and gratitude, tucks
his little head under his wing and
goes fast asleep, and leaves tomorrow
to look after itself. He is the bes:
preacher l have on earth"

of the court saying he was selling the

There's no doubt the man could
make money ON the filthy stuff he was
selling" Prosecutor Chillingworth
told the court. although All Lee is
formally arraigned here for lack of
license it is really because his so-
called ice cream was rotten. He
couldn't get license now if he want

such dirty stuff to poor children

HI
Company Officials Meet Re-
quests of Supervisors With
Immediate Consent

Street car tracks will run down the
center of Kalakaua avenue when the
improvements are made there This
was determined yesterday afternoon
at a meeting of the directors of the
Honolulu Rapid Transit and Land
Company, at which George NJ. Collins,
city engineer, and Charles N. Arnold;
chairman of the supervisors road COM
mittee, appeared. They presented the
plans of the city for the improvement
of the avenue and asked that the di-
rectors declare their intention of
moving the track from the present To-
cation on the mauka side Of the eve
me to the center Such declaration
work On the relocation eflthe tracks Is
started, howeyer: Permanent con-
struction is Planned by the Transit
company. instead of the light. tempoL
airy construction city officials thought
they might favor Heavy rails will be
laid to the maHka side Of the center
line of the roadway and permanent
pavement laid It will take at least
six months from the time the order is
filed before it can be filled, to say
nothing of the time required for trans
portation. 454
The city was wiling to agree to the
laying of the light equipment purchas-
ed for the Pearl Harbor line in the
exact center Of the street, to remain
there until such time as the avenue
was double tracked and permanent
construction necessary. This was not
even proposed by the directors yes
terday but committee, consisting OF
Richard Iyers, L. TeHney Peck and
C. G. Ballentyne. was appointed to
devise ways and means of financing
the permanent project. 1t will take
approximately $4,000 May il che
transit company had about $4,000 in
cash on hand, but this amount is ne
cessary for running expenses and
will not be touched.
Collins said this morning that de-
lay in obtaining the rails for the Tran
sit Company's construction would not
hold up the paving of the avenue as
its strip may be paved independently.
Work win probably start on the ma
kai side Of the roadway, he said, and
the rails will probably be delivered
before this section Is finished.
