Record Group of Statesmen

Elson says: "An ADLER body Of
statesmen has not assembled in
modern times than that which
made our Constitution in 1887, nor
has any assembly met with truer
motives, or produced a grander re-
suit. The whole number of delegates
was 50, and there was scarcely a
man among them who had not been
distinguished III the state or in the
field, who had not been a governor,
a member of congress, or a COM
mander in the army. A few had
served In the Stamp Act congress
in 1765, others had set their names
TO the immortal Declaration In 1776,
and one had framed the plan Of
union at Albany in 1854. Could
these men have looked into the fu-
ture, they would have seen two Of
their own number become Presi-
dents of the United States, one a
vice President and many others for
eign ministers, members of the Su-
preme court, cabinet officials and
United States senator's"

Mean. Wasted Effort

The old expression, carrying
Goals to Newcastle" is thus ex-
planned: Newcastle is the center
of the British coal trade, and a
great port for the shipping OF it. To
carry Goals to Newcastle" is a
waste of labor, a futile. or unneces-
sary effort, an effort to supply a
need already well supplied. The
phrase Is of Seventeenth century
origin, or perhaps older. But sim
liar proverbs exist in many Ian
guages. There is one in French
about carrying water to the river"
Ancient Greece has one about tax
ing owls to Athens - Athenian
coins being stamped with the owl !;
and an oriental poet speaks Of "im-
porting pepper into Hindustan."

THE woman stood at the edge of

day, her head lifted watching the
blue bulk of the mountain, and the
gilded orange that arose from be-

she might have been a high priestess
at her devotions so still was she.
With a sigh, her gaze dropped to
the gloomy cavern of the woods, and
she peered. expectant, down the
path which stretched way into the
blackness where the pine trunks
snuggled closely together for COM
panionship.
"Tim's lateI" she said aloud.

This is the barrage of questions
which is the daily lot of one regu-

position in the military service. To
his desk and over the telephone
come all sorts of queries, this multi
tude of questions having to do with

This man comes in contact with
several hundred people every week,
who are in quest of some form OF
information, and not always of a
military nature. Still, the iron
bound rule of that office is, IAN
queries must be answered" The
greater part Of the queries are
made by phone, but many feel that
they can obtain better service by
calling personally.
In addition to the hundreds of
different questions pertaining to
the veterans bureau, the National
Guard, the organized reserves, the
citizens military training camps and
West Point, the information clerk
is called upon to settle many dis.
putes between friends who disagree
over some question regarding the

questions asked:

matte and geographical conditions.
At the present time, as vacancies
occur in the rural service the Post
Office Department is making con-
solidations instead of appointing
new men, and in this manner
100000 every year is saved In
that one department without in
conveniencing the rural patron
The rural carrier sells stamps,
money orders, and is a source of
revenue to the Department that
other branches of the Post Office
Department, such as the city car
rier, is not. A concerted effort on
the part of city organizations has
been made to curtail the rural de-
livery service to the farmer, pro-
tecting the interest of the business
man, and misrepresenting the ru-
raj carrier to the farmer He is
charged with holding a cheap po-
litical position; of being paid for
eight hours day and only work
ing two hours; of carrying pas
sengers along with the mail and
collecting additional pay for this
service. The truth as borne out
with the postal rules and regula-
tions, is that the rural carrier is
paid for the number of miles he
serves. No civil service employee
may be politically active, and rural
carriers are not even permitted to
accept a position on their local
school board if it is an elective one,
regardless of whether he would re-
ceive any compensation or not.
They are positively forbidden to
carry any passengers on their
route while they are on duty de-
livering the mail. AS the result of
this vicious propaganda, the farm
ers, in many instances through the
farm papers and their local papers,
have been duped into believing
many untruths relative to their
mail service, and the ultimate re-
suit will be curtailment of his post
al service. The farmer should pro-
tect his interests to the extent of
keeping in contact with this un-
fair legislation as outlined above
and protest to his Senators i'm
mediately so they may destroy it..

USE FEDERAL FUNDS

William John Cooper, u. s. com
missioner of education, has an
nounced the personnel of the school
finance committee for the State of

National Survey of School Finance.
These committees were nominated
by State superintendent and COM
missioners of education and include
State legislators and officials,
school officials, university profess
sors and other prominent citizens.
Problems of financing the schools
have brought demands for infor-
nation which can throw light on
special questions confronting each
State. For this reason it has been
deemed advisable by the surveys
board of consultants, authorities in
finance, education and research, to
invited participation by State "con-
tact" groups. Leaders selected in
each State will be informed of the
progress and advance finding of
the nationwide school expenditure
study, and will be asked for advise
from time to time by the national
research staff. Each state commit
tee will meet with Commissioner of
Education Cooper, director of the
survey, or DR.. Paul r. Mort, as
sociate director. Federal funds for
this survey are provided until July
Funds from private auspices will
support continuation of the work
