surfing Of better things to come in the way
OF meeting public complaints of tardy de-

AS one instance OF his plans for improv-
ing the service of mail delivery, the points
IN his address at the annual luncheon OF
the American Newspaper Publishers AS
ISOLATION in New York on last Thurs
day evening are worthy Of the wild
est consideration. There are two things
in connection with our relation which
would state and re-emphasizc. First it is
10 part of the primary business OF the Post
Office Department to act as censor of the
press. This should not and will not be.
Second we are going to get along together
and do the right thing in all of these mat
tiers Of classification, rates, etc, and l want
it distinctly understood there will never
be any occasion when n publisher with any
kind of grievance is not thrice welcome
to sit down with the head of tho depart
ment and work it out
This evidences that new spirit has come
INTO control and will guide the future rela-
ions OF this branch of government service
with the public. 1t means that his attitude
toward any group of the public which has
grievance will be Just as cordially re-
sponsive i'll seeking the remedy as with the
publishers. For the interests OF the pub
fishers and the public which they serve are
IN many respects mutual and identical.
Hence. his promise to give the question OF
second-class mail his closest attention, say
ing that the one objectionable sin of the
post-ofice is not to deliver the daily news
papers on time, shows that he has an in
teiiigent appreciation of public requirements
Ill this respect and is determined to remedy
the evil of existing conditions. AS he says:

nave IL when he wants it, he doesn't want it
