OuR POSTAL SERVICE.

<~HAsfBERs Of Commerce. Boards of Trade. corpora
W tions firms and individual business men, to the
number OF than i5OOO have received copies of
circular letter the Posofnce Department in Washing
ton
It invites suggestions and constructive criticisms which
may tend to improve the postal service.
j. G. Koons First Assistant Posmaster-General. signs
the Invitation.
rhe postofnce Department desires to maintain the pos
service at high standard Of efficiency says the letter.
"and make it meet The necessities and requirements Of
the public. Notwithstanding the extraordinary oondi-
tions prevailing during the war; the department has at
tempted 10 do that which other country at war has
undertaken namely conduct the postal service with
out curtament restriction OF facilities conyenences
the public and at the time perform the numerous
additional duties and activities imposed upon IT,
am not aware OF any way which get IN close
touch with postal through the business organza-
tons representative business Of the country With
this end in view ] am requesting that you advise me
promptly whether your postal service satisfactory and
meets the necessities Of the business interests; If not
what are the existing defects wherein the service should
be remeded and improved? enclose addressed penal
ty envelope which does not require postage and VIII
greatly appreciate an early reply"
The Buresonized postal service has been such farce
in parts Of the country and in so many respects
that have no doubt Mr.. Rooms will receive many
plies and that OF them win be critical than
constructive.
In many respects the mail service In Delaware and
other States has demorazed by Democratic manage
ment mismanagement Business men have been by no
the only sufferers There is scarcely man. woman
child who has felt the pinch and the annoyance of
such mismanagement
Those organizations corporations and individuals to
whom Mr.. Rooms has addressed his invitations have IL
within their power to make their suggestions so caustca
ly critical that Posmaster-Gene Bureson finally will
realize what the people OF this country really think Of
the mail service he has been, and stll is giving them.

ITCHING IRRITATION
EASILY CURED

When you suffer with any skin trou-
bic, even though the itching becomes
unbearable, do not think that it is
necessary TO use some disgusting
greasy ointment. Try Hokara, a pure
and simple cream, that is guaranteed
to contain no grease or acids and
which is so cleanly that 1t does not
soil the linen.
Its power TO instantly relieve any
irritation Of the skin and make IL soft,
white and beautiful is almost miracu-
lous.
Not only do minor skin troubles like
pimples, blackheads, acne, BARRIERS
itch, etc, quickly disappear. but the
worst ulcers or cases of salt rheum or
eczema are cleansed and healed by this
wonderful skin food.
In order that any one may try Ho-
kara at small expense N. B. Danforth's
Drug Store is selling a liberal-sized
jar at 35c, and in addition guarantee
TO refund the money II the treatment
does not do all that is claimed for It.

CALLS BOLSHEVISM
ENEMY OF LIBERTY
Dr. Butler Tells Waist League New Word Anhes of Democracy
Russian Horrors Bared-mperial Auocracy Replaced by
More Powerful Tyrant, He Says
Trfbune)
tFrom The New York Tribune)

powerful tyrant, Russia has exchanged
an autocracy, which at least had the at
tribute OF dignity and distinction, for
one whose chief characteristic is appe-
tlte. B0lsheyism Is at war and civiliza-
ton, and in particular with democratic
civilization. IL is now the chief enemy
Of democracy left in the world. II
teaches dominance and control by a
group or class. II prescribes capacity
training, thrift and service and 1t de-
nies any such thing as citizenship with
its equality Of opportunity and itsSqual-
iiy before the law.
"BOlshevism bears precisely the same
relation TO democracy that chaos does
to order Each is the antithesis OF the
other. Neither the man who works nor
the man who has saved can expect any
quarter from Bolshevism unless he ac-
cepts It's doctrine that might makes
right and that the least competent shall
organize government and set the pace
for the State.
Work in This Country.
I'm this country we are blessed, or
otherwise with a few parlor, editorial
and academic Bolsheyists, who without
in the least comprehending the signiil-
canoe Of what they are saying or writ
ing, and with the safety OF their own
skins and incomes guaranteed by other
people, profess sympathy with the
teaching and aims Of these mad and
murderOus autocrats.
But the heart Of the American peo-
pie is sound and the head Of the Amer
lean people is clear. They understand
the difference between orderly reform
and violent revolution, between a dem
ocratic republic that marches to the
music Of progress and system Of class
control which rests upon envy, hatred
and malice. In Russia Bolshevism is
the counter revolution. So long as 1t
continues 20 distress that unhappy
country the Russian people will be
prevented from securing the untold
profits Of stable. just and republican
form of government in succession 10
the hateful despOtism Of the Romanoffs,
now happily gone forever"

Is Germany to get back any Of her
lost colonies?
Paragraph v, Of the Fourteen Arti-
cles reads:
"V.-Free, open-minded and abso-
lutely impartial adjustment OF all colon
ial claims, based upon a strict observ-
ance of the principle that In determin-
ing such questions Of sovereignty the
interest Of the population concerned
must have equal weight with the
equitable claims OF the government
whose title is to be determined"
Germany's former colonies differ In
character from most Of the colonies un-
der the sove eighty Of other powers.
They were acquired in the last few
decades Most Of them were procured
in pursuance OF military policy. Few
Germans could ever be induced to set
tie In them as bona flde colonists The
native populations were treated with
rigor. They were not in any sense
Germanized No effort was made TO
improve their condition or TO create
among them any real attachment to the
home country.
The Berlin government never recog-
nized any responsibility for the welfare
OF the people In its oversee possessions
No interest Of the native populations
could possibly be served by returning
them TO German rule. On the contrary,
these populations would rejoice at the
prospect of escaping Germany's brutal
domination. Any change OF sovereignty
would better their lot.
The German African colonies have
also been bad neighbors. German South
west Africa was a thorn in the side OF
the South African Union. IL was the
center Of a propaganda of rebellion
among the Beers. The South African
commonwealth had TO conquer German
Southwest Africa as matter Of self
protection The Cape Town government
cannot now afford TO relinquish IL to
Germany and see IL become again a
trouble-maker in that part Of the world.
The same thing Is true Of the other
German African possessions which bor-
der on the African holdings Of Great
Britain, France, Portugal and Belgium.
Klao-Chau was wrested from China.
Neither the Chinese nor the Japanese
want TO see German influence re-estab-
lished on the Shantung Peninsula. Aus

Bolshevism is the new enemy Of lib
erty, the antithesis Of democracy, Dr..
Nicholas Murray Butler told the mem
bers Of the United Waist League yes
terday at their luncheon in the Hotel
McAlpin.
THE war has brought several new
and strange words into the English Ian
guage," he said. zone Of the newest
and most strange Is BOlsheyism This
came into use as a Russian word about
1905 and was applied TO the policy OF
teachings OF those Russian revolution
aries who wished to overthrow not only
the aut0cracy OF the Gar but the whole
modern social and political order. IL
represented the maximum program not
only Of political but Of social reyolu-
tion.
"Boshevism was in the hands OF
cunning and determined men who saw
their opportunity when, following the
overthrow Of the Gar. Russia was feel
ing its way toward new and popular
form Of government. The great masses
OF the Russian people are illiterate,
easily swayed and widely spread over
a vast territory. When a few months
ago ! asked the famous Nine. Botch-
kareva to tell me Of what the Russian
people were really thinking she made
this striking answer:
Everybody in Russia Is so busy
talking that nobody is thinking abou
anything
"While others talked about what
ought to be done the Bolshevists acted.
By forcibly seizing strategic points
the scheme Of government they were
able through a ptiful minority OF the
whole people TO paralyze opposition to
their authority and to put themselves
In a position Of official responsibility.
The result has been a horrible orgy OF
murder, violation, theft arson and de-
struction. No one who is in possession
Of accurate news from Russia can doubt
for a moment the terrible conditions
there.

thrown or the yoke Of imperial autoc-
racy lies PROSTATE before a still more

The list Of journalists enlisted in service
ends with Carter Glass, recently appointed TO place in

II Is not the purpose Of this comment TO discuss the
special qualifications Of Mr.. Glass but II deemed peril

naton newspaper publisher editor be classed as
a "theorist"
If there is any bussess earth that requires prac

work in Kent county has been eXpend-
ed by the Democratic Levy Court. Is
this good business management? God
save the people from more Of that
character. The road leading from Mil
ford to Dover is a terror and trial for
travellers to pass over. The twenty
miles require from two to three hours
to get over by automobile in its pres
ent condition, and the passengers will
be in the air half of the time and on
the seat the balance of the time, and
may possibly be additional time getting
out Of the many deep and dangerous
holes in the road. This is a sample OF.

by the Kent Levy Court. II this kind
Of county management is good" then
