ly this is not convenient and the car
rier must wait several minutes: IL
there is no response letters are either
not delivered or, with the consent OF
the patron, are slipped under the
door, which Is likely to result in loss.
With a receptacle the carrier may de-
posit the mail, announce the fact Dy
! knocking or ringing the bell, thus
effecting an immediate and safe de-
livery, and the housewife or others
may secure the mail at their conven-
fence.
About $4,000 carriers are engaged
in the delivery of mail. The number
of trips ranges from two to six, the
average being about three. The
average number of delivery stops on
| residential route is approximately
800. Each carrier delivers mail to an
average of 200 stops daily, so that
the use of a mail receptacle will save
him a quarter of minute at each
stop.
Receptacles Legal.
The law recognizes the use of mail
receptacles for the delivery Of mail
by providing a penalty for willfully
or maliciously injuring, tearing down.
or destroying any mail box or other
receipt or delivery of mail on a mail
route. or injuring, defacing or de-
stroying any mail deposited therein,
or taking or stealing mail from, or
out, of such letter box or other
receptacle.
In a decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States. rendered at
the October term. 1917. the court
! affirmed judgment of the United
States circuit court of appeals, under
which the defendants were convicted
of having stolen mail from an au-
thorized depository for mail matter,
the court holding that an order of the
department, designating any letter
| box or other receptacle intended or
used for the receipt or delivery OF
| mail matter Oh any city delivery
route or other route. as a letter box
| for the receipt or delivery of mail, is
| a regulation clearly within the scope
| Of the authority Sivcn by Congress.
With the Institution of rural de-
| livery service. the delivery of mail
was contingent upon patrons provid-
| ing mail receptacleS at the roadside
| of the route traversed by the carrier.
and. at Il very early date, 1t was re-
quired that such receptacles should
be of a type approved by the depart

why. in the city delivery service also.
| the delivery of mail should not be
contingent upon the provision of q
door slot or other receptacle In which
the carrier may effect delivery of the
mail. No particular kind of mail
receptacle is prescribed. The simplest
box or door slot is satisfactory. The
expense is small.

Editor for Criticising
Government

New York, April 13.-Theodore
Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the
Navy, has ordered an investigation
and report of the arrest of M. Fouget,
editor of La Poste, a newspaper of
Port au Prince, Haiti, according to
announcement today by the National

to M. Borno in Haiti is said to have
been aroused by the report that he
intended giving the harbor of Port
au Prince to the United States for
use as naval base in the Caribbean.
Secretary Roosevelt's reply to the
Advancement Association is as fol-
lows = a..
Dear Mr.. Johnson:
/ Receipt is acknowledged of your
letter of March %, 1923, concerning
the arrest and Imprisonment of Mr..

General Commandant of the Marine
Corps to secure a report on this mat
ter from the Brigadier General, John
H. Russell, U. S. Marine Corps, Senior

public of Haiti, and as soon as this
report has been received I shall COM
municate with you further in regard
to the case.

Minister at Pilgrim Puts Work
With Young People Second
to Preaching
By OdeH Smith.

While the members of Pilgrim Bap-
tist church and the faction of young
people that frequents the "Y" center
are debating over which has the
greatest claim to Rev. L. W. Harris
the members of the Boy Scout troop
are standing quietly by and winking
at one another. They have received
information from reliable sources
that the man who is the cause of this
verbal duel is planning on rising with
the chickens Sunday morning and
hiking to Happy Hollow with them to
decide the weighty question as to who
can eat the most hot wieners.
Is Regular Scout.
Of the three factions involved, the
boys seem to be more diplomatic in
deciding the issue. They agree that
Rev. Harris is Pilgrims minister
and they feel with the "Y'' group
THAT he is a real community "pal,
but they insist that he is also a
regular scout" And that settles it
Wnen asked IOf MS VIEWS on Cne
matter, Rev. Harris said very mod.
estly: -...
II seriously realize the RESPONSE
bility that is mine as a messenger OF
the gospel, and I try to reason with
man for the redemption of his soul
rather than scare him into worshiping
God.
Young Folk Important.
"Second to this, do I regard the
necessity Of being interested in our
young folk. st has been my expert
ence that they are more nisunder-
stood than understood. They are the
foundations of today upon which the
bridges of tomorrow must be built. ]
feel it an honor to be in a position
to have their confidence to the extent
that they are willing that help di-
rect their every day lives. Working
with young people has been one Of
the, greatest privileges and keenest
delights of my work in the ministry.

New York, April 13.-Startled by

PEONAGE IN FLORIDA.
"If the story of the death of Martin
Tabert, a North Dakota farm boy

conscience of the people of that state

peonage, they must be morally dead
Northing more horrible was produced
by slavery; indeed, for sheer cruelty
and neglect it would be difficult to
find a more revolving episode in the
records of any people.
Facts Admitted.
"The essential facts in this tragedy
are admitted. Martin Tabert, the
twenty-year-old son of a well-to-dc
North Dakota farmer, decided few
months ago to. leave home and see
the world. In Florida his funds were
exhausted, and he attempted to ride
on a railroad train without a ticket
He was arrested and fined $25 OF

imprisonment. His family sent
money to pay his fine and more to
bring him home. The boy, in the
meantime, had been sent to the camp
of the Putnam Lumber company. The
money was returned to the family

machinery of peonage clamped dowr

too terrible to contemplate.
Peonage in Crudest Form.
'In the clear record complied by

turning the money sent to buy the

average standing Of these five men,
for the quarter, was 92.6 per cent.
At the last election of the Drafts

shows the activity of these men and
the esteem in which they are held at
this institution.
One man, Burton S. Oderkirk, won
outstanding honors as member of
the college livestock Judging team,
which competed at the National Dairy
Show and won first place in competi-
ton with all the other agricultural
