Gy N’ MAIL will be delivered on Sunday hereafter from any first or second class post-office in the land. Even if you go your- self to the office you will find the delivery window tight shut. Not a letter will be placed in lock-boxes. Not a postage stamp will be eold. Only mail bearing a special delivery stamp will stir from the post-office on Sunday. So Congress decrees, Postmaster-General Hitchcock, in commenting on the new order which will be put in operation next Sunday, said: “The new law, I imagine, will cause some inconvenience.” It will. No great imagination is needed to see that. Already travelling men, hotels and business firms all over the country are registering amazed and vigorous protests. The Postmaster-General himself sees no particular need for the order. He thinks Congress must have been egged on to pass it “for the benefit of mail carriers who do not like to work on Sunday” (!) Common sense should have prevented the passage of such an act, | It is more than ridiculous. tlence and indulgence. The simplest adjustment of working schedule would meet the day of rest requirement. How many wheels of convenience or neces- sity are kept turning as a matter of course three hundred and sixty- five days in the year! Men who work on newspapers work only six days out of seven. Yet the newspapers are published seven days each week. And so with railways, street cars, telegraph offices, hotels, res- taurants, drug stores, etc., ete. A slide schedule does the trick easily. The appropriation for the Post-Office Department was increased from $259,000,000 to $271,000,000. The department ia not in need of funds. Will somebody please explain why government employees, men ad- mitted to the public service and to the enjoyment of its benefits and protection, should be encouraged to develop an attitude of discon- tented, shirking insolence toward the public that employs them and It is an outrageous abuse of public pa- gives them their privileges? | } As soon asa branch of the public service becomes thoroughly established, what happens? The members of that branch proceed to “get together” and devise measures for their “mutual benefit.” Nheir “mutual benefit” is everybody else’s disadvantage and discomfort. It is high time to make it ‘clear that public service is publis| service. Public servants have no right to inconvenience the public. Our civil service was not designed to develop a corps of Janizarics. ree PETTY GAMBLING. MORAL uneasiness as to gambling is spreading over the world. In a single anecdote a French writer recently preached a ser mon on the ravages of the gaming habit in Paris. Two bricklayers were bewailing a raise of rent and the difficulty of meeting the increasing cost of living generally. “What is the Republic coming to?” cried one. “They hardly leave the working | man the sight of his wages!” Just then the two passed a slot machine of a sort commonly al- | | Such Is Life! 3 | Ved FB wi lo Jon UB WITH SOCIAI Purposes” 1am So LSwesone (wang Ren rates New York World.)

Then they went for a drink. ‘The same thing hap- pens thousands of times every day in the French capital.
