WILL R. HAYS ALL RIGHT

AS previously stated in this paper
Will R. Hays, postmaster general, is
proving himself to be the best post
master general this nation has had
in many years. He combines good,
sound judgment, with fearlessness
and executive ability. He is not af-
raid to do what he thinks is best for
the postal service. He is not playing
petty politics, nor catering to the So
called party leaders," He is placing
the postal service above partizanship.
He wants, demands and will get eff
ficiency
Moscow people have had two samp-
les of Mr.. Hays ability and honesty
of purpose. When Moscow citizens
showed him the proposed change of
time of starting rural carriers from
concerned, the order to make this
change was cancelled.
Moscow people have protested Wig
orously against the unjust removal of
Mr.. Dunbar from the service where
he had been rural carrier for nearly
a quarter Of century and had done
splendid work. Mr.. Hays was shown
that Mr.. Dunbar had been efficient
and had done his work we'll and he
has taken action that means not only
the restoring of Mr.. Dunbar to his
position but restores every man who
was removed against his will, because
of the age limit.
The editor of this paper takes pride
in the result in the Dunbar case. He
took personal charge of the matter
and showed the people of Moscow
the injustice that had been done Mr..
Dunbar and the people of Moscow,
who are always for the right, arose
and made a demand that the wrong be
righted He would rather have sue
ceeded in this and know that he had
