THE POSTAL In the annual report
SERVICE which he has just sent out,
which will be the last
that he will issue, Postmaster Gen
eral Hitchcock naturally desired to
make as good a showing for his de
partment for the four years as he
could. A large saving has been made,
so he points out, in the net expenses
of the department, as compared with
four years ago. The deficit at that
time has been replaced by what is
virtually a surplus. A surplus is not
needed in the postal department, how
ever. The people want the best ser
vice they can get, and if it costs a
little more than it brings in in rev
enue, the deficit can be made up from
some other department of the gov
ernment, and the people will not
grumble.
Mr. Hitchcock says that his sav
ing has been made without impair
ing the efficiency of the service. This
claim will be disputed by business
men and by newspapers. Business
men in the country's principal cities
have been complaining of impaired
service for a year or two. Sunday
deliveries of letters and newspapers
have been restricted to an embarras
sing and injurious degree. The pos
tal savings bank and the parcel post
are devices introduced in the present
postmaster general's term, which he
as well as others urged, and which
will add a little to his prestige. The
postal savings banks now number
12,812, with deposits to the extent of
$28,000, but in the past year receipts
for the service fell $275,000 below the
expense. Even in the few weeks in
which the parcel post has been in
operation many defects in it have
been revealed, and some changes are
recommended by the postmaster gen
eral. Mr. Hitchcock is correct in men
tioning the gross abuse of the frank
ing privilege, especially during the
campaign of 1.912, which cost the gov
' eminent $20,000,000 in that year. Had
full postage been charged upon that
mail there would have been a real
balance to the credit side of the de
partment's account and not an im
aginary or fictitious one. There is a
chance for reform here. Where does
Mir. Hitchcock get5 the notion that

A dunderhead will blunder by once in a while, of course, but
most of the boys have to use what is in them to pass their ex
aminations. That is just what is needed for detective work the
APPLICATION AND THOUGHT NECESSARY to pass a hard
examination.

WORK, BUT WHAT IS NEEDED MORE IS THE STUDIOUS MIND.
THE ONE THAT STUDIES ALL THE TIME. AS EVERYTHING CHANGES
IN THE STRIFE AND COMPETITION OF THESE DAYS, SO DO THE
CROOKS KEEP CHANGING THEIR WAYS.
We have high class crooks now, and they get into high places for
their operations. They are just as smooth as anybody, smoother than
most men too smooth, in fact. It TAKES HIGH CLASS. MEN
TO DEAL WITH THEM. It takes men at least as smart as they
Rre to leiirn what they are doing.

the 'country wants to have the second-class
mail rate, that on newspap
ers and periodicals, doubled? There
.'3 no demand among the people for
anything of the sort. By their ad
vertisements these publications bring
in many millions of dollars of first
class mail to the government, and
contribute very much toward that al
leged surplus of which he boasts. By I
doubling the second-class rate the
first-class could, as he says, be cut
in half. Nobody hears any loud popu
lar cry, however, for "cent postage.''
That will come in time, but bought
in the way Mr. Hitchcock recom
mends, it would cost more than the
country would be willing to pay.
HELP MOVING Now that motion pic
PICTURE SHOWS tures have become
a vital part of the
social life everywhere, is it not about
time that the thoughful people should
turn their attention to the uplift rath
er than the downfall of this wonder
ful power? A certain class of people
are verk quick to see the evils in
a thing, and to start movements to
suppress that thing. They call them
selves reformers, but they do every
thing but reform their object is to
destroy. Given a thing with ninety-
nine good parts and one bad part,
i these people only see the one bad
part, and, because of that bad part.
' they seek to destroy the whole. Evr i
; ery manufacturer of motion pictures, !
' every exhibitor, and every player, ;
; would doubtless welcome with open
: arms the reformer who came forward
in a kindly and proper spirit .It is
! to their own interests. If these . re- j
; formers will come in and help, rath-:
j er than stand off and throw stones, !
wonders can be accomplished. They
see something bad, and they want to
j destroy it. Any way, everything has j
', been said that can be said, and ev-1
erything has been done that can be '.
; done, to suppress motion pictures, i
j and still they survive, and they al-:
j ways will. But, the point is, instead
i of societies for the suppression of
j moving pictures,, 4why not societies
for the improvement of motion pic

"HOG WILD" RUNNERS IN
BIG LEAGUES.
On nearly every ball club there
are some players who arf known
in the frank parlance of the pro
fession as "hog wild" runners.
The expression means that
these players are bitten by a sort
of "bug" which causes them to
lose their heads when once tbey
get on the bases. They cannot
be stopped, oftentimes fighting
with a coacher to go on to the
next base, when It is easy to see
that if the attempt is made the
.ew l orK ians nave oicen seen
Mcfiraw dash out into the line at
third base, tackle Murray and
throw him back on the bag. He
is a "hog wild" runner, and with
him on I lie bases the duties of a
coacher become most arduous.
He will insist on storing if he is
not stopped or does not drop
dead.
Some vouusrsler was coaching
i . on third base in a jrame with
Boston iu the summer of 1911, .
and 1 he Giants had a comfortable
lead of several runs. Murray was
on second when the batter hit
clearly and sharply to left field.
Murray started and with his usu
al intensity of purpose rounded
third base at top speed, bound to
score. The ball was already on
the way home when Murray,
about ten feet from the bag, trip
ped and fell. He scrambled safe
ly back to the cushion on all
fours. There was nothing else to
do.
"This is his third year with
me." laughed McGraw on the
bench, "and that's the first time
he has ever failed to try to
x score from second base on a hit
unless he was tackled."

pursued by the rebels on horseback.
The passengers were endangered by
rebel gun fire.
Aboard the train, -was a party of
50 Welshmen en route to Necaxa, a
point beyond Mexico City, to take
employment with a light and power
company.
Today's passenger list from Mexico
City included Bishop Hendrix, of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South, of
Kansas City. - He was a passenger
on the south-bound train which was
attacked by rebels and returned north.
Bishop Hendrix said that the where
abouts of the north-bound train from
Mexico City was not known at the
time of the attack at El Salado. He
sai? that the rebel band appeared to
bear a special grudge against the Na
tional Railroad and immediately af
the cars of everything useful, burn
ed the rolling stock and undesirable
freight.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13 To pro
tect Americans endangered in the
firing in Mexico City, Ambassador
Wilson was ordered today to draw
on the state department for $10,000.
This could be used for relief of the
destitute or for getting Americans
out of Mexico.

By executive order, this board is
charged with the preparation of plans
for the cooperation of the army and
navy when, it becomes necessary-to
conduct joint operations, either offen
sive or defensive. Its proceedings
are always secret and may be known
only thnough the resulting orders to
ships and troops, issned by the sec
retarys of war and navy. The board
is advisory in scope and not capable
of executing its own projects.
The White Cross Society reports
it is caring for approximately 1200
wounded. The Red Cross has not yet
made a report. Neither organization
is being respected by the federal
forces. The president of the Red
Cross has been- killed. Some mem
bers of the White Cross, detected by
Diaz' adherents in the act of convey
ing ammunition, were executed.
Ambassador Wilson's dispatches
report today many houses occupied
by Americans have been, seized by
federal troops and the occupants driv
en to the streets. Homeless and ex
posed to the fire of both rebels and
federals, the dismayed refuges made
their way, at the risk of their lives,
to the American Embassy, which is
now open to all refugees. Ambassa
dor Wilson, however,,, is now distrib
uting the majority among the adjoin
ing houses by means of a committee
which he organized.
All dispatches to the American
Embassy from the State Department
urge the Ambassador to exert every
influence to keep noncombatants
from the streets. . He reports the
wounding of several American men,
and says he has given refuge to be
tween 500 and 600 Americans. .
