 Sitka Post Dimes
 The members of Sitka Post are wearing a very satisfied air nowa- days Maybe they are satisfied that they did the right thing when they organized an Auxiliary unit. They are-and they did. But this time there is more potent reason for the said satisfied air.
 Last Thursday evening at 6: 50 all Sitka Legionaires, off duty, sat down to the finest dinner imaginable. Everything was cooked and arranged by the ladies themselves and-oh, boy! talk about a sumptuous layout; well, just lamp this menu:
 Fruit Cocktail Olives Sitka
 Cranberry Jelly
 Adrondac Salad
 Mashed Potatoes
 Sitka Carrots
 Fricassee Chicken Rolls
 Apple Pie a la Mode

In the form of a two-leaf folder, the outside bore the name and hand-painted poppies, each and every card differing slightly from the rest On the inside left was the menu, and facing it, as a reminder of those who made this time memor- able, was the appropriate verse, "Ih !

On the call of Comrade Policy three hearty cheers went up for Comrade A. B. Bartle- baugh, showing that he was held in esteem by the post. Comrade Bartle- baugh responded with the best of wishes for Sitka Post.

Briefly, but aptly, he stat ed that the ladies of the Auxiliary had invited all Legionaires in Stka to partake of this splendid repast, that they had made all the prepara- i tory arrangements, had cooked the food and, in short, had done every thing themselves. even to the deco rating of the tables, which present ed very pleasing aspect, with flag bedecked centerpieces and flowers in profusion, giving real banquety appearance to the hall. Now" he said, 'I'm going to call for three cheers for the Woman's Auxiliary. Those we gave Bartlebaugh were hearty, but let these be even more hearty" And maybe you've heard three hearty cheers by bunch of satisfied bucks, but say. you've nev- CT heard any more hearty than those Lucky for the A.

Mr.. Hays on Mail Costs.

Postmaster General Hays letter
published on this page disposes of the
report that he wishes to make the
special delivery rate % cents. The re-
port apparently arose in the misun-
Outstanding of certain questions of the
postmaster general regarding the cost
to the department of special delivery
| service, which has been given at uni.
form rate during many shifts of the
eountry's general price level As an
alert minded administrator, interested
in all branches Of his department, Mr..
Hays would naturally consider ques.
tions of this sort But the correspond
ents who attributed to him a plan for
I ascent special delivery system to
replace the present one made it APP
)ear that he was unmindful of the OPP
position that such a proposal would
arouse both in the country and in
Congress Our special delivery sys-
tenn is doubtless capable of some i'm
orovement, but is not capable of i'm
orovement that would Justify an in.
arease OF $50 per cent in the present
rate.
Mr.. Hays letter shows that the de.
Inability of ascertaining the cost of
handling different classes of mail mat
ter has been intensified by the prac-
tice of numerous merchants of using
the parcel post for local parcel deliv
'ries. This undoubtedly raises a diff
cult problem for the government. If,
however, it is found that the postoffice
can handle this business without loss,
within the limits within which it il
likely to be used, its extension may
prevent needless duplication in local
delivery service. But ii must he put
IN an economical basis, even if the
rate is raised. II is difficult to see
how local parcel delivery could be de.
MED to stores and retained for the
benefit of individuals. A slight in.
Tease in the parcel post rate for short
distances would do no harm; it might
be enough to make the service self
supporting. On the other hand, there
would be an advantage in lowering
somewhat the rate for distant zones
II that can be done economically
Mr.. Hays determination to make
the investigation into costs as scien-
tiic as possible will be generally com
mended There appear to te some enc
mics of the parcel post who would be
glad to have it demonstrated that the
whole system is Improbable. Mr..
Hays may be trusted to see that there |
is no diminution of the usefulness of |
the service, and. that if any restric. |
tons or rate increases are decided |
upon, they are demanded by economic |
acknowledgements Republi-

NON-PARTISANSHIP

In his address to the crowd assem-.
bled at Lancaster, \ H., on Thursday
to extend a greeting to him, Pres.
Harding departed somewhat from the
party man and told his hearers that
the government of the United States,
whatever party is in power, "is always
trying to serve you as best it can
Such a declaration is not exactly cleo
tion material; that is, material for
use in trying to influence voters Too
often the position is taken that the
party that is opposite to that of the
speaker is neither skillful nor consci
entous, neither capable of carrying on
government nor really honest. Turn
the raseals out has been too often
partisanship runs high The speaker
of one party imputes to the other
party all that is mean, vile and treach
erous; the speaker of the latter party
INDUCES in the same flight of words
about the opposing party So it is one
charge after another, with the charge
of dishonesty creeping in most unfor.
tunately.
In the light of that remembrance it
is refreshing to have man elected
by one of those parties come out and
say fatfooted that his party has no
corner on the wisdom, virtue and gen
eral righteousness of the country It
is refreshing to learn from the lips of
man who is a strong party follower
that the other side may be eonscien.
tious even though the speaker may
consider it incompetent To the hide
bound party man President Hsrdings
words are almost heresy and, as such,
to be condemned. Yet to the person
of open mind those words are an earn
est Of better things in American polt
ical life. When the next election rolls
around it may be well TO remember
that the chief representative of Inc
Republican party said on Aug 4, 1921 |
a: Lancaster, y. H., that his party is
not by any means the possessor Of al |
that is good and virtuous. In saying |
that the executive demonstrated some
OF that skill at welding together, which |
he was given credit for at the time of
his election, only he is bringing a ma
ton together and not merely a party |

Believes Page Was Not in Conference.

The appointment of Major r. w.

enue verifes one item of The Herald's
grapevine, but the consolation prize of
prohibition enforcement officer goes to
Collins NJ. Graves instead of l.. Hal
sey Lewis, the latter being evidently
disbarred by the age limit.
1t is very evident that Senator Car
roll S. Page was not consulted about
this appointment, which, by the way,
is the only one ripe" and whether
Mr. Lewis, his own brother in law, is
to be "taken care of" or not in some
other way does not appear from the
record.
Evidently the delegation in Wash

especially when the report states that
the two appointments above were its
unanimous" choice.

|. The interview given exclusively to
the New York Times by Mr.. Steed
Lord NorthcIiffe's travelling compan-
ion and the editor of the London
Times, was genuine and substantially
accurate even in the part concerning
the alleged conversation on Ireland
between the king and Lloyd George.
q Northcliffe knew in advance what
the interview would contain, but he
had Mr.. Steed father it so that in case
trouble should arise he could pass the
buck"
3. Northcliffe's motive in having such
an interview printed was to discredit
Lloyd George in this country, parti-
cularly among American sympathizers
with Sim Fein Ireland, and to dish
hopelessly his projected visit TO Amer.
ca as the chief British delegate to the
Washington conference.
4. Northcliffe did not wholly sue
coed, on account of Lloyd Georges cat
like agility in launching the counter
stroke of the kings denial of the al
legged conversation about Ireland, which
forced NorthcliffeS b withraw precipi-
tously to his previously prepared posi-
ton.
5. Yet Northcliffe retains in his
journalistic claws some of his pre-
mier's hide and hair. The original in
terview enjoyed nearly week of cir
culation in this country without being
questioned by anybody, even by the
men who gave it, and the British prem
Ter in that time was "played up" in

to his majesty's keen distress. Con-
sequently, doubt must remain in the
British mind whether, automatically
speaking, it would be wise for Lloyd
George to come to the Washington con
ference.
g. If Lloyd George does not come,
Northcliffe will enjoy feeling of tri-
umph. The premier might not have to
come in any event, much as he desires
to, because of President Harding's fail
ure to attend the conference as dele.
gate. But, if Mr.. George stays away,
there will be the appearance of a
Northcliffe victory; and, in a lively
political feud, appearances suffice.
Many bits of evidence could be cited
to justify these conclusions, but, in so
merry a war. why try to prove any
thing Springfield Republican.
