SOLDIERS, MAIL.

The mail service for our army
abroad has now been taken over by
the army. 1t is handling a million
letters a day that are received IN
France from this country, and about
100000 letters a day that are mailed
in France for soldiers in France. II
has warehouses for sorting mail at
French ports. 1t has railway mail
clerks on some 1000 miles Of French
railroads. 1t has a central Postoffice
at Tours, permanent post Offices at
various points. mobile post offices
right UP TO the firing line. and mail
orderlies attached to each company
of troops.
In the past, when the mail service
for the army was under civil control.
great delays were caused in the de-
livery of mail by the necessary Sc
crecy concerning troop movements.
Now. under military control, all
movements of the mobile post offices
are t~elegraphed in code TO the dis
tributlng ~postotfices and the letters
follow the soldiers as they march.
All the hospitals notify the central
p~ostofhce of the identity of wounded
soldiers received or transferred. The
central post Office works. with the
Adjutant Generals office where
every soldier in the army is card
indexed, and $50 men are there con-
stantly employed searching out ad-
dresses. A system has been devised
by which delivery may be quickened
to replacement units who nave
been scattered among widely separ-
ated troops. And various means have
been found for overcoming delays
due to lack of shipping facilities OF
congestion Of mail at crowded posts.
1t still remains true that mail for
some 90 1000 soldiers IN France is de-
layed because the letters are made
quately addressed. In the future all
such letters will be stopped at New
York and returned 10 their senders.
II is estimated that 500. 900 letters a
month have been delayed in the past
because the men were in replace
ment units" This ''hoater's mail IS
now being handled expeditlously.
The mobile post offices now keep up
with the troops. the mail is received
with the rations at the kitchen; and
the whole reOrsanized postal service
is devoted to providing that the
doughboy's letters shall reach him as
promptly and regularly as his meals.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. oct. 31.-
The effort OF Gov. Goodrich to build
up a campaign on state ISSUES that
will be helpful 90 the republicans IS
being met by Chairman Fred Van
Nuys Of the democratic state com
mittee. and Evan B. StOtsenburg
candidate for attorney general The
governor has tried 10 answer Mr..
Stotsenburg's keynote speech but the
Figures do not lie" Two years ago
Nr. Goodrich and a host OF repub-
leans were making comparisons be-
tween the RaIston and Hanly admin
istratiOns 90 bolster up their claims
that the democrats were ~extrava-
CANT. The comparisons between the
Ralston and Goodrich administra-
lions f. not advantageous to the re-
pubiicans.
StOtscnburg's Statement.
Chairman Van Nuys today made
public the following statement by
Mr.. S-totsenburg:
GOV. Goodrich. in his defense Of
his administration. published a few
A1Nn AENr ElihiA NAF AEAOA GU NAE
charge made against him and the
leaders Of his party. in my speech in
opening the democratic campaign a.
Terre Haute. The charge 7 made
was that the present republican ad-
ministration came into power in In
diana by reason Of a campaign OF
misleading representations as 20 the
conduct Of the affairs Of state during
the two previous democratic admin
istratiOns; that in his campaign Mr..
Goodrich had charged extravaganza
and incompetency in the manage
ment Of the state penal and benevo-
lent Institutions: that ne attempted
to prove his case by showing the in
crease in the cost OF running the
state during Gov. Ralston's admin
%istration as compared with that Of
Gov. Hanly's: that he attempted to
bolster up his case by showing the
increased per capita cost OF running
the state institutions: that both these
methods were unfair and mislead-
ing. that Mr.. Goodrich. with two ex-
ceptions. had continued I'm office the
same heads OF institutions. that Gov.
Ralston had appointed or had con-
tinued in office. These were the
same men whom Mr.. Goodrich at
tackled in his campaign. 7 claimed.
because these men had been con-
tinued in office that thereby Gov.
Goodrich had endorsed the record
OF these appointees.
Easy to Sec His Reason.
Tn his defense. the governor OBJ
jects 70 the comparison Of the ex-
penditures during the two years o.
his administration with the expend-
itures during the last year OF the ad-
ministratiOn OF Gov. RalstOn. That
such "A comparison is not pleasing
20 the governor is easily understood
However. in 1915 the governor used
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1918-11-01

The act specifically says that the
revenue from this tax shall be kept
as a special fund for the support Of
these institutions. This fund has
o been kept separate but has been
paid into the general fund and
thereby not only has the plain man
date OF the law been violated, but
one OF the cardinal principles OF the
Budget" system, about which Mr..
Goodrich's defense contains a justi-
ication OF the borrowing OF S140.-
600 to pay the deficiencies in the
appropriations for the penal and
benevolent institutions. The COVER
nor says: If there was a billion
in the state treasury, We could not
use a cent OF it without an appro-
priation." He concludes that it
would nave e Illegal 10 pay this
deficiency out Of the general fund
without an appropriation, and that
therefore this amount was borrow
ed. AS a matter Of fact arrange
ments were made to borrow this
amount, but the plan for some rea-
son was abandoned, and the state
auditor is now paying these bills out
OF the general fund, although Mr..
Goodrich says it is illegal TO do so,
and although in fact il is in abso-
lutte violation of law.
Tax Levy.
The governor takes much credit
TO himself for the reduction OF the
state a levy. He seems 70 forget
that this reduction was recommend
ed to the general assembly by his
predecessor, Gov. Ralston. The
condition OF the state treasury that
warranted this reduction was
brought about by the splendid ad-
ministratiOn Of Gov. Ralston: and
it would have made no difference
who was elected governor: the tax
levy would have been reduced just
the same. In his defense. Mr..
Goodrich fails to answer Chairman
Van Nuys' most important inquiry.
II will be remembered hat Mr.. Van
Nuys wanted the governor TO ex-
plain, If there is ample revenue with
which 70 run the state under the
reduced tax levy. why did the gov
ernor go before the legislature in
1917 and urge the passage of an ex-
else tax law, telling the legislature
il was either an excise tax Law or
also an increase in the tax levy,
or an increase in the valuation of
property Tor taxation. The fact is
Mr.. Goodrich can make no salts
factory answer to this inquiry, be-
cause it is apparent that If the fin
ances Of the state are in the splen-
did condition Mr.. Goodrich and the
republican leaders would have the
public understand there is no ne
cessity for an excise tax law. or else
the public is not being told the full
truth about the financial condition
OF the state. The whole defense of
Mr.. Goodrich is of the same char
acter as the statement made by him
in 1916-they are not a full and
fair presentation of the conditions
of the state

Stotsenburg Replies To
Gov. Goodrich's Attempt
To Build Up Campaign

the same method 70 support his
claim OF extravaganza against the
Ralston administration. 1t VIII be
remembered that Mr.. Goodrich
compared the Ralston administra-
ton with the Hanly administration.
II did not occur to Mr.. Goodrich in
1916 that the conditions OF the Han
ly and Ralston administrations were
entirely different. During the Raj
ston administration there were
more state institutions. the business
OF the state had greatly increased,
the high cost OF living had increased.
yet Mr.. Goodrich, In 1916, thought
II was fair 20 compare the %expendi-
lures OF Mr.. Ralston's administra-
ton with those Of an administra-
ton four years before. The governor
ought not now to object TO the use
Of the same method Of comparison.
IL is a good old adage that he who
lives by the sword must die by the
sword. That Mr.. Goodrich may
know how his administration fares
by his method Of comparison, the
figures Of the expenditures for the
last year Of Gov. Ralston's admins
tratiOn and the first two years OF
Gov. Goodrich's are here given. Mr..
Goodrich. If he chooses. can make
the comparison and draw HIS con-
cIUsion by his 1916 method, and
then give the same publicity 10 the
result as he did in 1915. but he
won't do IL.
Expenditures for the state in
1916. under Mr.. Ralston's adminis-
were s11,135.175.49: in 1917.
under Mr.. Goodrich. they were Sill
937, 327.71; and these last figures do
not include outstanding institution
al bills to the amount of $4,000
and the unpaid bills for remOdeling
the state house.
Fond OF Comparison.
Gov. Goodrich is exceedingly
fond Of making comparisons, but
in all his comparisons ne fails 70
make any reference 10 his own de-
partment. the executive department
of the state. The comparison Of the
expenditures OF this department. for
the year 1913 with those of 1916
are most interesting. In 1918 there
was an expenditure in Gov. Good
rich's department Of $415.74O.47 as
against ~S33.130.2S in. 1916. This is
an increase Of $~3S2.61O.19 for 1918,
which is equivalent 10 1870 per
cent. The governor in his defense.
particularly refers TO the auditors

RATHER I.AMENTABLE DEATH

Andrew R. Black died at his home last
Sunday afternoon after a brief illness. His
death was great shock to the entire COM
munity as but few were aware of the fact
that he was even sick. He had been a resi-
dent of Seattle at the time of his death for
seventeen years and had practiced law all
those years When he came to Seattle he
was just out of school and came West to
"grow up with the country" which he did
in the broadcast and truest sense of the word.
On arriving in Seattle he took offices
with the late j. Edward Hawkins in the
Pacific block, but soon he took a suite of
offices of his own in the same block and
remained in the building continuously to the
time of his death. He was man of even
temperament and a we'll balanced mind both
essential to success, and it was not long after
opening offices before he had host of
friends-white and black-not only in Seat
tie but throughout the Northwest. His bust
ness grew rapidly and it can be said without
fear of successful contradiction that he was
one of the most successful attorneys in all
Seattle
He was married to Miss Candace Parker
of Spokane and from that union a son and
daughter were born, both of whom as
well as his wife survive him.
The funeral was held last Tuesday after
noon and was largely attended considering
the closed conditions of Seattle. Rev. W. D.

with presented:
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, That we
extend to his bereaved family our heartfelt
coincidence and that they be comforted in,
"Of such there be, few on earth,
Of such there be, many in Heaven"
That we commned his life to the young men
and women about to enter the arena Of
maturity as one well worthy of emulation,

made by hands eternal in the Heavens.

Home buying on the part of the colored
citizens continues to forge ahead and many
families are mauling the life out of General
Rent The latest to become land lords are
Henry Williams, who not only purchased
splendid home but a first class automobile
as we'll Mr.. Williams is a trainman and
stands we'll with his employees;
Chancey w. Jamison, custodian of the
Gottstein building, has also concluded that
there is morec omfort in owning a home
than in renting one and he too has recently
purchased seven room house. Mr.. Jami-
son owns beautiful seven-passenger tour
ing car;
Mr.. Nelson II. Fisher, who found much
trouble in renting home to his liking and
so said 81 will own one of my own,' and
he has bought beautiful six-room home in
one of the resident sections Of the city and
moved thereto.
And thus does the good work TO bravely
on and Cayton's Weekly hopes it will con-
tinue until there is not a colored family
living in rented home within the gates Of
Seattle.
