was admitted to the bar in 1898, and began prac-
ticing at Portsmouth. He was postmaster at
Portsmouth from 1899 to 1908 and governor Of
New Hampshire from 1919 to 1921. In that year he
was appointed president Of the Civil Service Com
mission at Washington, D. c. He has been first
assistant postmaster general since 1929.
A postmaster has the problem OF adapting the gen
eral rules, general conditions. and the general plans

postmaster should be master Of his post, as his title
implies.

necessary delivery, but the public cannot stand to have
mail lie in the p~ostoffice from Saturday noon until

tested out cases where a letter remained in an office
from Saturday noon until Monday afternoons catching

any circumstances.

Il is a bad feature Of our service that these special de-
livery letters, the most important OF all, are handled
by boys and not by men under regular civil service
employment. As fast as we can consistently, this work
is being given to matured substitutes. The postmaster
must see to it that regardless Of expense, special de-
livery letters are handled with great promptness.
