B, Parker, the Democratic candi-
date, Roosevelt issued this state
ment:
On the fourth of March next 1
shall have served 31s years and
these 315 years constitute my
first term. The wise custom
which limits the President to
two terms regards the sub
stance, and not the form, and
under no circumstances will
be a candidate for nor accept
another nomination.
A third term boom was started
for him in 1907 and he was obliged
TO repeat his refusal Both these
refusals rose up to plague him in
February. 1912. when a letter signed
by the Republican governors of sew
en- states asked him to be candi-
date again.

President if it is rendered to me, and
I viii adhere to this decision until
the convention has expressed its

Despite the cries of .Steamroll-

herents, the convention expressed its
preference for Taft. So T. r. bolt

Moose party and catnpaigned as its

lin the play Of that suit. Dummy
plAyed the nine, and East took the
heart ace and returned the ten OF

king. West took the diamond ace
and continued the suit, and South
gained the lead by trumping the

At this point, South had to win

with only one trump for club run.
That would oblige South to lose

The first step was to lead the eight

which a club return allowed South
to cash his ace and king. He next

Railway Postofice Is Important Link in U. S. Mails

ILL.,, on account of the Civil war, be
sorted while it was aboard the train.
A few years of experimenting
proved the merits Of this idea and
the use of railway post offices be-
came reality.
Originally the post Office cars were
used only on the main lines of
long-run railroads, but today near
ly every line in the country has
service to form a network encom-
passing every town and hamlet of
our nation.
Within these rolling post offices
efficient crews of clerks not only
break down mail shipments into
section and state groups, but also
sort it for cities and then 60 further
to separate individual letters des-
tined for different postal stations in
a given city.
A clerk on the New York to
Washington run, for example, is
expected to know the exact location
of any address in New York City,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washing
ton and perhaps several other inter-
mediate cities served by that route.

The efficiency of the United States
mail is so taken for granted that
very few people really know what
takes place between the time a
stamped envelope is deposited in one
of those familiar olive-colored boxes
and when it is received by the adj
dressee.
Strange as it may seem, only a
small proportion of out-of-town mail
is actually sorted in the marble
palaces whose portals are inscribed,

however, that envelope may be sort

speed it on its. way in the shortest
possible time.
For some unknown reason the
United States post Office rarely
mentions the RPO (Railway Post
Office) and its important part in the
distribution of mail, hence very few
people realize that without it our
present postal service would be an
impossibility.
In this country the use Of the rail-
way postal car dates to 1861, when
