If we ever get fo foolish notion to start a political party, we will get Jim Farley to be the campaign manager, and if he refuses we will give up the idea. The popular vote for President Roose- velt was 25,810,049, while Landon re- ceived 16,000,000. That does not look so formidable as 46 to 2, which was the electoral vote.

It disposes of the charge of un- fairness by not even dignifying it with a denial. In extenuation, the Digest might have quoted President Roosevelt’s state- ment a few years ago when he remarked after the failure of some of his experi- ences, “I don’t expect to make a hit every time I come to bat.” It would not be human if no one never failed. ‘resumed until about 10 years later. j of the British colonies, | will do for their children. EARLY MAIL SERVICE One of the first official actions con- cerning mail service in the American colonies was an order by the General Court of Massachusetts, in 1639, which directed that letters to be carried overseas should be left at the home of one Richard Fair- banks, who would see them placed on board ship. Hence Fairbanks has been called America’s first postmaster. In 1672 a monthly mail service was established between New York and Bos- ton, but it was soon discontinued and not Be- | tween 1673 and 1691 beginnings in postal service were made in Massachusetts, Con- necticut, Pennsylvania and Maryland. The Intercolonial Postal Union was | | started by private parties under sanction of the British crown in 1693, the post roads being made through the forests. letters from Philadelphia to Boston took six weeks, and in winter service was fre- | quently interrupted. In 1707 the British government took | over the system. In 1737 Benjamin Frank- | lin became postmaster at Philadelphia and did much toward improving the _ service, later becoming deputy postmaster-general The postal system was a losing business, and Franklin , paid the deficits out of his own-pocket,for. sen- eral years. He later served for. .a:short, time as postmaster-general for the: panies during the Revolution. Franklin establishéd: post'rotites’ peice Massachusetts to Georgia; With humerous} cross routes, and appointed postmasters in all the principal communities. Thus was the foundation laid for the splendid postal service which the United States now en- joys. : The first postmaster-general appoint- ed by President Washington was Samuel Osgood, but the postmaster-general was not considered a cabinet officer until 1829. In that year William T. Barry was ap- pointed to the office by President Andrew Jackson, CHEMICALS IN WAR The next war, if one should unhap- pily involve the great nations, will be fought largely with chemicals, according to many who have given study to the de- j velopment of deadly gases which would be available for military purposes, A recent publication said to of authoritative’ authorship declares that while 30 asphyxiating gases were known at the beginning of the World War, there are now more than 1,000, including many varieties of “blistering gases,” coughing}; gases, sneezing gases, choking gases, vom- iting gases, tear gases and_ suffocating smoke.” Fumes heavier than air might be spread over wide areas, where they would be ; linger for days, killing everything within their deadly embrace. By means of such j gases dropped from airplanes whole cities might be wiped out in short order. A recent writer sees in these horrible possibilities a hope for peace, on the theory that in future states who con- sider resortigg to warqvill from doing so “Sythe cot that these awful would be brought int women and children as men. : That these means would be used, in spite of all the treaties. that might be made, can not be doubted. “Necessity has no law,” and this is especially true of necessity in time of war. Therefore,. a great nation which goes to war in future must be willing to subject its entire pop- ulation to the risk of wholesale slaughter, if not extermination. ONE WAY TO RUIN CHILDREN One of the problems confronting Am- erican parents is deciding how,much they Occasionally, ; one hears of stern and selfish parents who fail to do enough but, more often the re- verse is the case and fond fathers and mothers interfere with proper child de- velopment by doing tog much for their off- spring. Dr. John A. Evans, of Baltimore, re- cently warned parents that it is “absolute- ly wrong” to give a child everything it wants because the time will come when the child will demand what it cannot get “and there will be an explosion of hys- teria.” This is good advice and borne in mind by all parents, should be Carrying | DAYS GONE BY Happenings Here Just 10.
