During an address at Atlantic City,
Mr. Iturleson. postmaster general of]
the Cnitcd States, for the fi st time
publicly defeiuled himself and the de
partment against tin* attack that
have been directed against him for
months b\ a great majority of the
leading publications of the I nited
States.
The efficiency of the department is
marvelous, Mr. Hurleson told the mail
ufactuier’> association. just marvel
ous. or words to that el led.
Throughout every one of the forth
right states of the union that may be
correct. All of these attacks on the
uostma.'tf r general may have been un
wunant d. 1 tut the average Alasuan,
;tssuming that the rest of the coun
ts has been given the same treat
ment as the Territory, without any do- i
accuse the postmaster general
ol' favoritism, would say (hat the pos» •
il administration has bee n a Irizzol.
Mail is handled in the same man
:a*r as canned salmon o*- copper ore
r»\ freight, and then only when the
whim hits (he steamboats or the ship
ping clerks of Seattle. And yet Mr,
Hurlcson talks of efficiency.
That is one of the* main mail con
tentions, the lack of consideration,»the ;
disregard of whether i! ever gets hen*
or not. and the other is the outlying
actions.
Millions are spent annually by Mr.
llurles*>n in extending the rural free
delivery service in the states. Farmers
with their own automobiles living an
hoiit or two from town that would a^
soon take a joy ride in ttic* evening to |
get th*'ir mail, arc* not permitted to do .
it. They nuMt have it delivered at them
doors. AH farmers are not in a posi
tion to run to town every evening but j
today a great many of them are and j
they would be glad to get their neigh- j
hor’s letters or papers for him. too, ,
if there was no rural free delivery.
Yet the farmer is entitled to thru
delivery, and. if he is, th^juspectn

LON'UO.W Oct.. :*,0 - The United!
State consulate here was veri- j
table Tower of Babel last month. (k>s- j
nnpoitan London h;ts been pouring a
varied a,-»av of nationals into the Am

single hope that they be allowed to go
to the United States. It’s :* ease of ^
many knocking and few ontenii, how
ever.
No one is allowed to go unless In*j
or die has a good reason for being in [
lu 'Jailed States. The wealthy Brit- j
•sher who wishes to escape after con- 1
dition* here and see a country he has •
heard so much about recently is in the j
same category as the Italian
French waiter who wants to seek h
job “out there.” But if any one has
anything to sell- those cases are in
Ju* great minority however as few
people in England have anything now i
that is needed in the United States
or if they wish to go to purchase, they
are given every facility.
Every morning an hour or so he

“Is your presence in the United

examiner asked her.
“Certainly not," rather haughtily.
“ Then I cannot grant you a vise."
