Hi reici niifY tn ..'i
ant service now tjiven ourcifi
nens l,vin in our rural districts.
It does not require an intelligent
person to comprehend the im
port of the intention of l'n.i.
dent Taft and ror-tmaster (Jener
al Hitchcock, but nnvntiM mn
plainly see that they intend to
abolish the present splendid rtt
ral system ol tuinini; in thiHeouri
try. and "-'ve the fanners the ol.i
unsatisfactory star-route svKtom
discarded by all riivertimi nts.
The only reason that this el.Mn.ro
has not leen made, is that thev
are waititi" until after the com
ing election to inaururate the
change. The monstrosity of this
proposed change on the" part of
our Kepubiicn
, - . .1 W ly U J
Attorney (ienerai. is that t. h p
change is bused on the idea of
economy. To our minds this is
""thing more or less than a co
lossal joke. The idea ol the Re.
publican party and the extra va-
ganceof its bidion dollar Con-
gres8 talking about economy at
the expense of the farmer ol t his
country! We want every farmer
in this country to know that
there are hundreds of th
of dollars appropriated evervi
year by our Iicpublitv n Conress,
(and the same bills Kerned hv
President Tuft ) for the purpose
of pneumatic letter tube, in the
sy-scrapers of New York, Phila
delphia, Huston and the other
large cities of this country, nud
then lor President Taft and f.-
Hitchcock to gut worried nlmer
the insignificant extra exuense of
maintaining the Rural Free Ih
.) tne oenenc ot the lann-
who.cL. I resident. At tome v tTn-
eral and Congress are now stud
ying means by which they are to
destroy, for the sake of economy
after spending over a billion at
each Congress, this splendid sys
tem that is so much daily ser
vice to the farmers ol the cottti-
trv. The following is the article:
"I he R. I', ). .News, published
at Washington as the national
oraan of the Rural letter Cum-
crs' Association, sounds an al
arm in these terms: 'Right now
preliminary plans are being made
to abolish rural free delivery ser
vice '.and provide in its stead a
daily delivery to the farmer bv
what is' known as the star-route
orcontract system. This plan has
been the subject of serious con
sideration bv the Pontnifi.Kt..i.
(.ienerai for more than six or
eight months past, and he hopes
to bo able to furnish President
Taft with ample reasons for the
change before 'the latter sends
his annual message to Congress
next December. It is the belief of
many postal officials that Presi
dent Taft will readily approve
of the suggestion of the Posfm
ter General in the matter, nnd fnr
the sake of economy, make a ree-
onimendation to Congress to en
act the necessary law for the
change. Already Postmaster Gen
eral Hitchcock has consolidnr,.,!
the division of star-mail routes
and division of rural free delive
t'.V into what will hereafter be
known as the division of rural
mails. This is the first step to
ward making the two services
similar.
ivi:rz. eh,,,, ud.
and fanatics; yet the opinions
which they espoused are now
seen to be moderate and worthy
of all acceptation."
Put even nor interesting than
this statement, is Senator Dolli
ver's remarks about how the Inst
tariff bill was made, the authors
of which, he said, "had treated
the Republican p'atfonn, defin
ing the just measure of tariff
rates, as a practical joke on the
public."
Put. the public has called the
joke, and everywhere either the
l'eniocrats or the Insurgents are
smashing the old standpat Re
publican machine.
"No member of the Senate Ii
nance committee," savs Mr. Dol
liver, "was able to stand up on
the floor of the chamber and of
fer a reasonable explanation of
any important details of the bill.
Such members of the committee
as designed to participate in the
uetuto would have been abso
lutely helpless if they had mis
laid the memoranda prepared for
their use by persons who have
not yet been elected to the Sen
ate; although it, is understood
some of them are now candidates.
...
.mi man can carefully read the
majority of 21. In order to -ct
control the Democrats must gain
i:t n March": next the terms
of 2! Senators will end. (1 these
-M) only (i are Democrats, to wit:
T.ibaferrae of Florida. Raynerof
Maryland, Money of Mississmni
Frazier of Tennessee, and Cul
bertson of Texas. Mr. Rayner has
abeady been elected for the next
term, and the other four Demo
crats will be succeeded by Demo
crats, The question to be consid
ered is how many of th.i seats of
f Republicans which will be
come vacant in March can the
Hie Democrats nossihlv !,,.
I hey haye already won one of
Hie necessary 1 "t hat of Maine. !
There is a strong probability ,, '
a democratic gain in Co.meeii-
cut, Delaware, Indiana, Misssou-;
it, .Montana. Nebraska, Nevada,
New Jersey, New York and Ohio'.
This would be a gain of ten, in
cluding Maine, with West Vir.ri,,
ia and Wyoming as ponsibilties.
I'emocrats from all these star
would leave the Senate emnllv
divided between the two nartie
with a Republican Vice President
to cast a vote in case of a tie.
the situation is exceedjnjrlvin-
teresting. Whether the Demo
