From the Salisbury Tribune.
Postmaster General Burleson admits
that the pay of rural carriers is in
equitable, and blames Congress for
II. He wants a law passed which
will allow the Postmaster General
to fix the pay OF the carriers in &C
cordance with special conditions
which may prevail on the several
routes. AS a means OF playing IA
vorites. there could be nothing bet
ter; and in the hands of a seasoned
politician like Mr.. Burleson, II is
easy to see the outcome OF such a
situation. All the exceptional con-
ditions would be found existing on
the routes where deserving Demo

posal is IN line with the general and
growing desire on the part of the
Cabinet officers to get discriminatory
power into their own hands. II is a
dangerous tendency. because a Gov

generate into a government OF whim

4 OOlPREHENsIYE DOCuMENT.

From the Dover State Sentinel.
The annual message OF Governor
Miller is a comprehensive docu-
ment, covering a wide range of sub
jects, and whatever the subject
treated the suggestions and recon-
mendatiOns are clear, logical and
sound. Governor Miller has given
tho most careful and painstaking at
tention to every matter that has come
under his official notice, and his com
mon sense and business experience
and sagacity have enabled him 20
make recommendations Of great
value. The Legislature should take
up these matters and give them the
same careful attention as has been
given them by Governor Miller, and
make such legislative enactments as
will carry them into effect. II this
IS done. the session OF the General
Assembly will be a notable one.
There is nothing in Governor
Miller's message that deserves more

Woman Petraroh Loved.

Laura de Moves, made famous by
Petrarch, was a real flesh and blood
woman, altho idealized by the bard
into an angelic creature fit only to live
among the stars,
She was not yet 90 and Petrarch -
when they first met. Laura was a
married woman, but that did nGt pre-
vent the poet from bestowing upon her
a devotion that continued to her death,
more than. twenty wears afterward.
She was the theme. of the series Of
sonnets which have made the name Of
Petrarch immortal.
Altho her fame was thus spread al!
over Italy, it did not add to her hap
piness. for her husband. naturally of n
jealous disposition. was enraged by
the celebrity given to his spouse. He
had no cause Of complaint In her ac-
lions. for she remained faithful to her
vows, and bore him ten children. The
constant persecution ana brutality Of
her Jealous husband ended only With
her death in 134S, which was due to
the plague. The widower married
again within seven months.
THE most chaste and beautiful lady"
wrote Petrarch. was buried on the
same day of her death. Her soul re-
turned, feel most assured, to heaven.

playhouse that a curtain was painted

Mason City. May 14--Over forty
thousand tons of coal are being stor-
ed along the various railway lines in
Mason City. The experiences Of the
roads last winter and the probable de-
mand of train equipment to move
troops and supplies for the government
in the next few months has inspired
this reform among the railroads, which
ought to be of great benefit to consum-
ers of coal next winter.
The roads had serious experience
last winter in getting coal to move their
trains, many times the main line OF
the Northwestern having only twelve
hours supply Of coal ahead. The plan
adopted is to store coal in all the va
rious coaling stations for the different
roads and thus have supply on hand
that will carry them through the win
ter. The coal Is hauled into Mason
City and thrown off along side Of side
racks in great piles IL feet high and
100 feet long. Area ways are left be-
.ween piles so that watchmen can cas-
lily get from one to another In case
any of them should catch fire and these
area ways also are protection tor the
adjacent piles. The coal thus piled or
stored is also subject to deterioration
but evidently the fuel department has
found out that 1t is a saving over being
compelled to take the risk Of shortage
n the winter time.
( The Milwaukee is storing some
49, ~, Eyn nd
and the Northwestern, Rock Island
and Great Western at least fifteen
thousand more between them. The
Northwestern is storing ten thousand
tons at this point and more at points
further northwest. The reason Of this
is that the points northwest are far
Their from the coal mines at Buxton
and consequently are not able to get
their supply so quickly as at this point
on the division.
The NJ. C. & c. L. has about 1000
tons stored. &, aJ
There are coal stations at Belle
PLANE, Parkersburg, Blue Earth, Fox
Lake and Sanborn and one can ind
more or less of these piles OF coal on
the side tracks at these points. A SINH
lar sight will greet the passengers on
the Milwaukee at North McGregor,
Whittemore, Calmer, Mason City. Spaa-
Ger and Sanborn, which are coal sta
lions on this division on the Milwaukee
road.
Another reason for storing this coal
is to have a supply Of cars for the do
nestle trade next winter The railroads
claim to- have had much difficulty last
winter to satisfy the demands and this
will release large numbers Of cars for
the hauling of coal for domestic pur-
poses and also lot Of equipment for
other freight purposes.
