Every man, \ 1 and institu tion is interested in it. Whatever it doe or does not do, the cost thereof fall directly on those whom it serves and who demand its service. Th and they pay more exter quate or defective service y pay for service, sively for inade- The best organized and most compre- hensive postal institution can be none too good for the business and social demands made upon it. While it true that money should be wasted in attainir complete establishment, it is also true that no money should be spared in an effort ‘o attain perfection in service. The sooner we recognize that the true cost of the postal department is not repre sented by the figures at department head. quarters, the sooner will we begin to oper ate our mails on the correct basis. There is nothing at all to be gained by breaking even at Washington, if the business of the country is forced to great losses because of inadequate and incompetent facilities. What the country wants and deserves, and what it is willing to pay for, is serv- ice that serves to the full, that can be depended on to meet all demands, and that will not pass big losses on to individuals by maintaining niggardly policy at Washington. He is a very poor citizen, indeed, who would not prefer to pay value for value rather than be constantly pocketing losses. Make the Punishment Fit EFORE Judge Busick of a superior court in California appeared a fellow who was arrested for driving an automo- bile thru the streets of Sacramento while very drunk. “You,” said the judge, ‘did all you could to kill someone. The mere fact that you did not kill or maim some person is not your fault. You're fined $500.” Had Judge Busick been walking down @ street and a drunken fellow emptied a six-shooter at him, that fellow would have been charged with attempted assassina- tion and gone to prison. He would have done all he could to kill the judge, and it would not have been his fault that he idn’t. The drunken auto driver is worse. e may kill a dozen people. It is about time that the courts all over the land took the drunken driver in hand. Fines get nowhere. Every fellow who in- tends to drive and then loads up with lig tor should be convinced, by the custo- Mary treatment of such devilishness by the courts, that there is no escape of State’s prison. To turn a drunken driver ree with a fine is simply trifling with the murderous. is no about the keeper of your hot-dog kennels The business bree that sort of thing Well, Samuel was at it, any way. He yearned for a permanent location, He was tired of wandering. Only a ce and none other should yelp uit hi where his dog a welcome to the wayfarer would shing the whistling oven, Sam came to lunch room on the street People were passing in and out, It looked good, Sam stopped in front and began to cry his nine invitation, The proprietor of the ch roc was mad in minute. He ordered Sam to move on, Sam declined, " police were called and Sam was arrested. From a $1,000 roll Sam tore off $3 for his fine. Then he went back to the lunch room. “This place just suit me,” said Sam reflectively. “I'll just take it.” He found the owner of the building, tore off 2,000 from another big roll, accepted the deed and then told the lunch room man to evacuate or he would set the dogs on him, or tie a can to him, or other- wise humiliate him. The lunch room man, crestfallen and sdre, had to go, and Sam now has a permanent location just where he wants it. There are two morals to this true story. One is that, with relation to these sausage vendors, you never can tell how loud their money, if any, will talk. The othe true to his genus, the hotdog ¢ bark, but he will bite. a Tell Us a New Story HE papers of late have been full of stories about men who, despite heavy handicaps at the beginning of their lives, made good and ined the top rung of the ladder. reral Atterbury, of the Pennsylvar railway, was one of these “atta-boys,”” and the new president of the New York Central road was another Charles W. Kittle, the new executive of Sears-Roebuck, got his start in life water boy for an Illinois section gang, « innumerable others — millions — can lay claim to humble starts toward success in life. But why dilate on such matters? The are not exceptions, but rather the rul What the waiting world is anxious to hear is the story of some fine fellow who began as a pampered child of luxury and afflu- ence and, in spite of it, made a success of life.
