Making Postal Ends Meet.
The postal deficit in the United States
for the last fiscal year was oyer $14,•
000,000, and will be large this year. It
is said by the department that the
rapid extension of rural free delivery is
the cause of the deficit. But annual
postal deficits have been the rule for a
long time, and reached into seme mil«
lions before a single rural delivery route
was established. It was then clearly
perceived and pointed out »hat the an
nual deficit wui caused by the trans,
portation of an immense amount of
matter at losing rates. Some of the
waste has been stopped, but a big leak
there still exists. Many persons who
have looked into the matter say the
government pays extravagantly for
transportation. Congress should in
vestigate and stop abuses. Appropri
ate legislation will end the deficit.
Rural free delivery has come to stay.
It is a good thing, and ought to be
broadened in its work, especially in the
conveyance of parcels. One of the ex
isting postal absurdities is that it costs
less to send a parcel from any domestic
office to Londou than to send the same
parcel between two domestic offices, no
matter how close to each other. The
people do not ask that the post office
should turn a big net profit into the
treasury, as is customary in Europe,
but they want the department to pay
its way, and lop off the dead weight
and impositions it is saddled with. Eu
ropean postal work has many branches
not introduced in the United States,
and this matter also is worth examin
ing. A $14,000,000 deficit will compel
attention in Congress. It will probably
cover the treasury deficit for the present
fiscal year.________________
Woman and National Housekeep
ing.
The Boston Transcript publishes an
article that will find hearty endorsement
by Oregon women. It says :
“That reform has won such a famous
victory in Philadelphia i9 due (as the
new leaders willingly concede) in large
measure to the influence of the good
women of.tlie Quaker City. The women
brought into the campaign, it appears,
the most approved and perfected plans.
They were instant and prompt in meth
od.
“The work of the women in both the
great cities of th** Atlantic seaboard, this
Fall, for the purification of muncipal ad
ministration, is significant aud impres
sive. It is regarded in some quarters, and
with manifest show of reasonableness,
as an index of the distinct trend of the
times toward the day when public-spirit
ed and capable women will be called,
not only to subsidiary service, but to the
fullest exercise of their abilities and lei
sure in civic and national housekeeping."
Women are daily demonstrating in
their clubs and social duties a high apti
tude for method and organization.
This training enables the up-to-date
women to participate in public affairs
w ith credit to herself and benefit to the
community. The public spirited woman
needs but the opportunity to apply her
patriotism and wisdom to affairs of
state und nation. Oregon has many
women who could serve with zeal and
discretion making this the greatest State
on the Pacific Coast. But to have a
voice in promoting the public good she
must be a constituent and armed with
the ballot to enforce her views
I da P oktkr B oykr .
Those of our patrons who hold poli
ciea of insurance in the Mutual Equit
able and Life Companies of New York
must have read with amazement how
the big officers have been disposing of
their money. The exposures brought
out by the investigating commit tee show
there has been no lack of assurance but
theamount.of safe insurance remains an
uncertain quantity

The Scientific American states that
about $100.000,000 worth of farm ma
chinery is made and sold each year in
the United States. It is said that fully
one-hall of this goes into the hands of
men who do not know how to select it
wisely or to keep it in proper condition.
The waste which results runs into mil
lions of dollars annually. In addition,
implement manufacturers lose large
sums in making and attempting to intro
dace machinery unsuited to the work it
is intended to perform, with a resultant
loss to both farmers and manufacturers.
’ * * *
It is evident that the rural delivery has
come to stay, and that the expense of
extending it must lie laced in any calcu
lations for the future. The initial cost
of establishing new country routes w ill
continue to l»e a serious drain on postal
revenues. Yet the necessity of tins ex
tension is lieyond question. As a means
of education and of national develop
ment the rural free delivery experiment
has already proved its worth, and as
the system grows it will liecume more
nearly self supporting.
Indirectly it
benefits trade by bringing the country
into easy communication with the town
and city, and It does a public service bv
increasing enlightment, comfort and con
tentment in the rural districts. The
cities are perhaps p n ing more than their
cost of the postal service ; but the
country's gain is their gain, al o. and
th«v will cheerfully contribute to main
tain and extend the rural service until a
new balance between receipts and expen
ditures can be struck and both city and
town can share in a general decrease in
postal charges.

O.eof the Astors who has been abroad
tor several years said, oil bis returning
to New York : ‘ Every time I come here
I get a snock of amazement to see the
Aladdin-like changes that take place in
the city’s sky line and the face of the up
per part of town." The transformation
going on in the chief American cities is
truely one of the most interesting studies
of the time.

The proposed Jap-English ship canal

Uncle Sam’s canal, on the contrary, is

Mr. Smoot has passed the million

but he is not bragging that he holds

Tom Johnson is too much of a politi

for a faithlul servant rather than an
accomplished master,

When'Benjamin Franklin wras post
master general he locked up the mails of
the country over night in a box, still in
existence, which was kept under a desk
in his office in Philadelphia. In those
days there was no postal deficit. A sur
plus in carrying on business was one of
the main lessons of the Poor Richard
philosophy.

Canada allows a rebate of one-third
in duties on British imports, and talks
of increasing the preferential rate. But
the favor shown has not stopped the
rapid growth of Canadian purchases in
the United States. The Dominion’s
wrestling with a sentiment can not alter
the fact that business is business.
* * *
Alaska has held a convention and
adopted a platform, which sets forth,
for one thing, that the territory .has
some fertil valleys as big as a good sized
state. Congress ought to give an at
tentive reading to what Alaska has to
say for herself.

Complaints are made that the people
have no time to read a 20,000 word
message from President Roosevelt. Con'
sidering the subjects he had to cover, it
would seem that the President has per
formed a wonderful job of condensation.

Cuba wants the United States to dis

Ohio’s recent vote was 961,505
