Worried Over President's JUtest
, rtumnoe Friend J--KS:

rvrrrvmdMc of Th4 Observer. .
' Washington, April SO.-It looks to
fie ccrUIn tbatths South
lM tt) loser in the establishment of
mmi frM delivery. A study of the
' Hsures on nle at the Tostofflce De
triment .hows that she is now away
behind the other sections or the coun-
., try,-ana grci j. -- -wti.n.
There are fewer routes in
v" ,r ranlta. too. There are
nlsos fewer petlUons aeiayea
, diMtinn In the otner scuon t ic
country than tnere are in w o"u..
f On the whole the South has gotten
, the beggar's portion in the distrlbu-
.. nf frojr delverv. But mat
' not the end of her hard luck In that
connection. but the1 beginning.
. it wm bad enoueh to permit the
other sections to gobble up the llon'a
share in the flrst Instance, dui 10
come now with a rule that will make
something like one-hair or tne routes
In some of the Southern States tri
weekly Instead of dally routes will
add to the infamy of the transaction.
Jt has long been the professed aim
f th. PnitnfiiM Department to give
vrv citizen a dally malt Most of
them had gotten It under the old
pontofflce system. Then It was
brought even closer in the shape of
rural free delivery. The advent of
this tn many cages resulted In the
discontinuance of postofnees, making
the people dependent upon the rural
routes entirely, and placing them of
tentimes an much as ten miles from
'their posoffice.
TRI WEEKLY SERVICE.
8ome smark Aleck in the Postofflre
Department has now brought up the
plea that it is too expensive to give
a dally mall service on those rural
routes which do not deliver three
thousand piece of mall a month, and
that a trl-weekly service should be
atih.rltiiinl In Its stead. II is saie
"to say that there Is no community
'In the entire country that would pre
fer a trl-weekly rural service to the
old go-to-the-offlor-after-your-mall
system. And yet after they have sur
rendered their old facilities for some
thing they thought was better they
are to bo deprived of Juxt one-half
of their mall service, without the op
portunity of getting back the old ser
vice. And It Is principally the Bouth
that will feel the effects of the rule.
A large number of the routes In j
Southern States do not distribute an
average or Z.uotl pieces 01 man a
month. The circulation tf trashy pa
pers and worthless literature Is less
,1n the South than In any other sec
tion, while the percentage of actual,
bona fide mall Is larger in the South
ern States than In any other section
of the county. Hence, while the
average number of pieces of real,
actual, valuable mall Is as great on
the average Southern route as It Is
in other sections of the country, their
service Is to be cut down whll that
of routes In other sections will re
main. According to the figures of the
Department there will hp ten routes
whose service will be cut down in the
South where there wjll be one In the
North.
If the people living along routes
In the South which distributed less
than three thouxand pieces of mall
a month are willing to go to a Utile
trouble they can save their dally ser
vice. This may seem a strange sug
gestion but the end justifies the
means, and it will only swell the
'malls with the same nort of litera
ture they are filled with elsewhere.
WHY DID HE DO IT.
A week has passed nnd still the
statesmen around the capital Hie
wondering what moved the F'resldent
to advocate a graduated Inheritance
tax In his speech last Saturday. Re
publicans especially are concerned
about it and are trying to fathom
the depths rf his motives In so do
ing. Thpy declare that the Idea In
a distinctly Popullstlc one, ami that
the advancement of the proposition
at this time when Socialistic tenden
cies are so strong hm to be menacing
is unfortunate, and that It must be
accounted for In some way. And
they have scratched their heads more
than onoe In their endeavor to ac
count for It, and will scratch them
again, fan It be that It n a bid
for the Presidency? They ask them
aelves this iuetlon and then point
to pronouncement made by him the
night of the last election against a
third term. They concede that It is
Just a little more than possible that
4wn In his heart he has repented
of that declaration, und that while
he will not openly Keek s third term,
he may he tryliiK tn tirlrii? about a
condition that will make the tender
of the crown the third lime so press
ing that he cannot refuse l. It h
O0nresMl that the idea would have
(Treat strength In some quarters, und !
that the man who fathers it be
he of the Koosevfll type, could (..
cure a large following on the ir-niMhJ
of It.
Or Is It simply that overwhelming
desire of his to continue In the spot
light, with a possible vli-w tn com
ing to the Senate from New York
fter his retirement from the Presi
dency, there to piny tin, "lYiend of
the people" role on lfW Republican
Side as It Is now played by minimi
On the Dmocratlc ldi The an
nouncement of the Honorable Thom
as Collier Matt that he Is tired of
being the "easy bows" iini that he
Will not be a candidate for re-election
when his term as Senator ex
pires In !08 would give Sir. Kooim
velt the opportunity to don the HemUo
flal toga the day he doffs his Presiden
tial duds. That would be a unliue per
formance in the history of tho coun
try, but then he hlmaelf la the unique
man of our history. It Is conceded
that the tremendous power he has as
President could bring all the prcs
. 'aur needed on the New York I-g-lslalure
to elect hlrn Senator. Hut,
granting that he would not be a can
didal for Piatt's seat because he
t .Would have to be elected while yet
- aervlng as President. It could just as
; well be that he is figuring to succeed
Pepew in ltll.
Whatever this new pronouncemr nt
of our strenuous President may mean
the fact remains that it la dislurb
Inc the old line Republican leaders
,. HttJe.
TARIFF REVISION COMING.
'i I aw told by some who have talked
'With the President on the
that he to resolved that If th rate
r bill passee at this tension he intend
to press tariff rtvfarton next session
'it the Houae goes Republican again.
He feels, It i said. : that th Repub.
Mean party cannot tro before the
country in another Prwridenttal cam
paign without having done something
revise the confeaaed laequalitiee of
the tariff. If their programme is car
ried out ad the rate bill passed
- Rooeevalt will have done more to
, glre effect to Democratic politic
than any Republican President ever
ld. It W troe that ft J eteallnc
; pemocratle thunder but the Repub-
ticana have ver boon noted for Mriet
adherence - to th , . commandment
Thou ahalt not steal. The Mas
sachusetts Republican and some of
the Western fumublicane declare that
thayS; are determined to press , their
demand for tariff revision in the hope,
not' of getting it this session, but to
rivet, the attention of the counry to
It, o that public sentiment will force
a revision next, year.
