In England even as late as 1533, the postal ser vice was used only as a means of communication- between members of the royal family. "But to return to our own service. As i stated before,' we are able to trace It back two hundred and sixty nine year s, to 1639, 'but we are able to learn very little about It at that time.

It will thus be seen that the service that year was con ducted at a profit of $5,796, a very creditable showing Indeed. "The growth of the service from 1789 up to the present time has ibeen marvelous and almost beyond belief. A few more comparisons may not be uninteresting. The number of ipost- ofllces In operation In 1829. forty years after the organization of the depart ment and a date within the. memory of some persons now llvlnj, were 8.004 a,nd the receipts amounted to $1,707,418, while In 1908 there were 63,173 offices ami the receipts amount ed to about $183.000. 000. "The service has grown snd ex panded to a degree that would have seemed extravagant a hundred years ago and yet it is safe to assume that It will grow wore and faster In the fu ture than it has in tho past. That Is as Regards the rereipts only. There are if ewer postomces to-day, by nearly ten thousand than 'there were a decade ago and It Is altogeth er .probable that there will be a large decrease in the next few years, due to the extension of the rural delivery service. By 191 1 It is estimated the receipts will amount to $300,000,000. "While our service Is hut an Infant in age It Is a veritable giant In size. It forms an Intricate net work all over this .great land of ours. It ex tends from Porto Ttlco on the south east and the Canal Zone on the south to t he Hawaiian Islands.

"But the service Is not going to stop growing simply' because we have carried It to the uttermost parts of the country. There is yet a wonder ful work to be done and It la going; to require a master mind to direct the work.

Henderson: Brownlee. will proceed at once to the subject assigned me, that Is, the salary law, oppolntments, promotions and efficien cy ratings as applied to clerks In of fices first and second clauses. "As you all know, especially those of you who are postmasters at offices Of the third class and don't have much clerk hire of any kind, there was a law passed y Congress at Its session before the last and that became ef fective on July 1st, 1907, that gave to clerks in offices of the first and second classes a fixed atatue with much bet ter salaries than they ever received before. SMALL SALARIES. "Those of you who were iu the serv ice prior to July 1st, 1897, know how almost impossible it was to secure and keep efficient clerks on account of the enadequate salaries paid. I re member very well that before July 1st of that year there wehero any number of clerks In some of our larg est offices receiving as little as $300 a year, and, what was worse still, they had no assurance that they would ever be promoted out of that grade. In that year I remember very well there were seven assltant postmasters at offices of the second class who re ceived only $300. Of course they were not designated "Assistant Post masters'' but were called "Chief As-J sistants," but notwithstanding the des ignation they performed all the duties of an assistant postmaster and re ceived half the pay of an ordinary laborer. "It was In that year that the first change for the better took place. It was a very slight change, it is true, hardly perceptible except to those most concerned, hut it was a change and it was In the right direction. Congress gave us more money and in stead of starting clerks at $800 they were started of $800 In offices of the first class and $500 In those of the second class. Promotions wer more rapid and substantial and tenure of office was more secure. Conditions continued to improve but it was not until ten years later, in 1907, that the great te.p was taken. For twenty years there had been an earnest but fruitless effort made 'by one First As sistant Postmaster General af'?r an other to Ret a new classification for Clerks, but as 1 said before, always witkout success. But In 1907 it did come and the honor of getting that hill through congress belongs to that best friend the clerks,' as well as the postmasters and other employes, ever had, Frank H. Hitchcock. I say the honor of getting it throujrh. and It Indeed was an honor and Mr. Hitch cock o considered it. I was with him the night that bill came out of conference, and I tell you If tho re sult on Nov. 3d is what he hopes It will e he will not be a bit more elated than he was on that occa sion. "What did that bill mean for the clerks? It meant this. On July 1st, last, out of a total of K.750 clerks who had served long enough In one grade to make them eligible for pro motion to the next higher grade, 18,086 of the-m were promoted. Of these 18,892 received an Ineresse of $100 and 2394 receive,! $200. that Is from $600 to $800. 81.84S.000 was distributed In promotions alone and this does not take into consideration the promotions that were made ear lier in the year, on October 1st, Janu ary 1st and April 1st. Not a bad showing considering the hard times through which we are passing, or rather through which we have passed. "Out of W,7i0 clerks eligible for promotion, 16.088 were promoted, Jeavlng only 4164, or leas than 4 per sent. who for some cause failed to receive the recommendation of their postmasters as Is required by law be fore a promotion can be made. And this brings one to tho question of ef ficiency ratings. "The law provides that clerks can be promoted only on satisfactory ev idence that they have performed sat isfactory service during the preceding year. That evidence must necessarily come from the person most competent to give it, the postmaster. Of course In the largest number of recommen dations made by Individual post masters, It is possible snd ever prob ably that .Injustice It will be done In some cases, that promotion have been denied clerks entitled to lu cres and that perhaps some un dijervln employes have been ad vanced when they should have been kept back. It is Impossible to ellml- Knate entirely personal favoritism and personal prejudice. The Department, however, ! ever ready to right a wronr And wherever seeming Injustice has -been done, proper actions la taken to right it. "The Department has for some time een considering .the adoption off certain rules and regulations on which to base the efficiency of clerks with a view to having a uniform sys tem throughout the entire service. It hi an undertaking that prevents many THE VACATION QUESTIONS THE MECKXF.NBCRG Chase City. Va., of course: Because It alters greater advantages and at tractions than any other place In Virginia.
