past 80 years the publishers of the
w Groton newspapers, the indie

ting by" without paying postage on
the bundle of papers sent each week
to their Aberdeen subscribers.
Not h a they have deliberately

postage, but by the fact that they
thought their publications could be
sent to Aberdeen under the free-in-
county provision of the postal laws.
This provision is extended only to
towns that have no city delivery.
The postal department has asked
the Groton publishers to remit for
seven years back postage, which, al
though it amounts to only a few cents
a week, is an Illustration OF the scrut-
my exercised by the department.

Hungary by line of rail which does not have to cross the territory of Jugo- slavia; and the Jugoslav port, Plume, could supply that same great hinterland by line of rail which does not touch on Italian Territory. In other words, there would be absolute freedom of conn merce resulting naturally from a choice of routes, both ports and routes being secure from possible interference or the annoying restrictions of a jealous neigh bor.
 It would be to the interest of each country to improve it's port and railway facilities, to establish the most con- I<enient train service, and to charge the lowest tariffs compatible with a req scnable profit, in order to attract to it's port the largest possible volume of busi- ness. Not only Europe. but all the world would profit enormously from such an equitable distribution of economic ad- Ivantages Conversely, not only Europe, but all the world must suffer enormously if the Adriatic settlement leaves both these ports in the 'hands of a single power or establishes conditions which must ultimately result in such one power control, or gives tola single power the control of both railways leading from the two ports.

Bryan Places Hitchcock
 Among the IneIigibles

E EosTILITIEs between William J N Jennings Bryan and Senator Hitchcock have been resumed. Tn the current issue of the Commoner, MT. Bryan opposes Senator Hitchcock's presidential aspirations with his ac- customed vigor. He declares that if the senator is nominated by the democrats at San Francisco it will spell defeat. He attacks MT. Hitch cock for his stand on two of the Bryan hobbies, prohibition and wo- nan suffrage. Mir. Bryan says, furthermore, that he would not vote for MT. Hitchcock, even if he were so instructed by the voters of Nebraska, assuming that he is chosen to repre- sent them at San Francisco.
 All of which may add to the liveli- ness of the campaign. While it was stated recently that MT. Bryan and MT. Hitchcock had become more friendly, the new outburst means that Nebraska's two democratic leaders are still as far apart as ever. MT. Bryan is determined to play. con- spicuous role in the proceedings of the San Francisco convention, and to some purpose, if the oracles are not at fault. His Influence is still great, fact that his enemies do not deny.
 MT. Bryan's "eliminator" is in fine working order. MT. Hitchcock is merely the latest victim. Several other aspirants may be weighed and found wanting ere the clans gather in June.

Man Who Quits Job Cannot
 Demand Reinstatement


 FUDGE E. H. DRYER, federal um- |O pire between the coal miners and operators, yesterday rendered a highly important. decision. A miner who had gone out on strike and who had not been re-employed when the strike was declared off demanded re- instatement.
 In effect, Judge Dryers decision was that an employer cannot be com. |pelled to re-employ man who volun- tarily G1its work. He announced that a written decision would be prepared later.
 A highly competent jurist, after thorough and careful investigation, thus puts the seal of approval upon contention which has been regarded as fundamental in the operation of the mining properties of the district. In any other line of business it would be regarded as matter of course that man who quit his job could not return and demand it back just be- cause he happened to change his mind. No business man would con- sent for a moment to such procedure.
 If farm hand in the middle of the crop season should voluntarily throw up his job and then return the following week and demand his old place back, which had already been filled by another man, it would De very poor farmer who would put him back in his field.
 What is true on the farm or in general is true in the coal mine. A mine superintendent could never get anywhere if he were at the mercy of the whims of man or group of men who believed they could quit when ever they got ready and that heir old jobs would be waiting for them whenever they chose to return and demand them.
 It is for this reason that the um- pire's decision in this latest case is of the highest significance to this district

A LIGHT HEARTED GLADIATOR

From the New York Telegram.
 Something deliciously boyish and naive characterizes the announcement of Georges Carpenter. French boxing cham Ipion and challenger for the worlds title, that he is to wed and that he will bring his wife to America with him.
 ''She is a beautiful blonde, has express sive eyes and a delicious smile and is only 2S years old.' Thus he describes the bride-to-be, very much as if he were so filled with thoughts of how wonderful she is that he could not speak words fast enough to express his admiration. He also said she was rich in love. but poor in the worlds goods
 Many men who do not follow pugilism record .of Carpentier-serying in the French army and then coming back" as boxer and defeating rival after rival. That touch of the remarkable gives him a glamor far different from that of the prize fighter whose laurels consist only of succession of ring victories. CArpen- tier and his bride are worthy of real welcome when they come to New York.
 Carpenter had generous words for Jack Dempsey. saying he was most conn., dent Dempsey will have no difficulty in proving himself not guilty of the charges made against him"
 For those who do follow pugilism as a subject of interest. though. it seems more than nine-day wonder that any French snan should be contender for the heavy weight championship.
