Povinn the strike of the mail chauffeurs may help to bring out some much-to-be-desired facts about the auto mail-wagon service in this city. The Evening World has repeatedly denounced the way in which hage mail trucks hurl themselys through the streets regardless of life qnd safety. Public opinion is now thoroughly aroused. Mayor Kline has recommended to the Board of Aldermen that the city ordinances be amended to take the mail wagons out of the I’ire and Police appa- ratas clase and put them under reasonable restriction. A mail chauffeur in a letter already printed in this column de- clared that drivers are forced to speed the wagons because, even with the utmost haste, they can not finish their day’s work in less than twelve or fifteen hours. Now is the time for a thorough investigation of the manner !n which the mail contractors in this city do their work. If it is tho contractors’ policy to run a scant supply of wagons at reckless speed and take chances of killing people at random in the streets, then it is time the city had something to say about it. —————E—— By the s/sy—what about the rest of the candidates running om the Tammany ticket in this campaign? Can anybody tell us who they are? <p 2 —____. BREAK DOWN THE BARRIER. ET the South American newepapers that have encouraged the L South American peoples to regard the United States as an ogre of greed and ambition, biding its time to gobble them all up, take note of and give due publicity to President Wilson's assurances of the last few days, The significance of what the Presi- dent says is very particularly for all South America. “The United States will never again seek one additional foot of territory by conquest.” Our political interest in the South Ameri- can Republics is neither a stealthy nor a sordid interest, but a frouk desire to see the principles of constitutional liberty prevail through- ‘out this hemisphere. With the President of the United States laying down clear policy of thie sort and an ex-President of the United States at this moment on the spot in South America with the best possible chance to drivo euch assurances home at first hand in his own exuberant fashion, now in the time, if ever, to punch holes in that barrier of distrust and mia- understanding which the South American people have built up be- tween themselves and the United States, We hope the Colonel will seo his duty and spread himself on his part of the job. Perhaps he can make the South Americans forgot ‘the stealing of Panams. Not disputing the rule lately pat into effect forbidding smoking on Brooklyn “L" trains, but why didn't they turn the rear car into a amoker? Then men would not stand on the platf. to smoke. For wh jo a “few whilts taate better than when reading a pape! An@ now (which ie more than I care to tolerate) they are stopping smoking even on etreet-car platforms. About 7 ber cent. of the cities outside of New York, I believe, have cars with smoking compartments, seating at least from ten to twelve men. Why is it that we can. not enjoy such a luxury? HLA. PF.

One of these was from the reader's sister in the West. After dealing with home news the letter launched forth into a bitter attdok on slavery. Then came the sentence: “Hattie, tf I conld use @ pen as you can I would write something thet would make this whole nation feel what an accursed thing slavery is!” The woman who read these words was Harriet Beecher Stowe, And accomiing to one of her children who was present at the reading, she eprang to her feet, crushed the letter in her hand and, her face aglow with @ etrange light, exclaimed: “I WILL write something! 1 will ff I livel" From that moment the idea implanted by her sister's letter never once left Mra, Stowe. She hed already won @ certain repute as a minor writer and had eked out her husband's slender income as One Woman's professor at Bowdoin College by short stories and essaya, inapiration. But ehe had shown no sure sign of the wonderful literary jell Ada future which was to be here. “1 Would write sometht nation know what an accursed thing elavery ‘The sentence had burned itaelf into Mrs. Stowe's soul. And, bit by Bit, he began to formulate the groundwork of a story that should serve the great end. In church on Sunday in February, 1851, for instance, a wnole acene of the fortheoming atory came to her aa though by direct inepiration, fhe hur- Ted home, wrote out the scene {n full and read it to her family. ‘The work was at last begun. Mra, Stowe and her husband were ardent Abolitionists, They had at thetr fingere’ ends every argument and fact and incident bearing on the slavery question, All that remained for the author to do was to weave these details around a amftictently strong plot. This she did. The result was the immortal book, “Unele Tom's Cabin.” “Unele Tom's Cabin" ran serially in the Natfonal Fra and attracted onty A modicum of notice, For {ta serial rights Mrs, Stowe received but #0. ‘Then a Boston publisher sought to pueh the cause of abolition by bringing out the story in book form. It sprang at once into undreamed of fame. In a few months the anles rose to 500,000 copies. Mrs, Stowe received from tt $10,000 in royalties during the first year. It was translated into nineteen languages and dozena of companies began playing verioue dramatizations of it Mra Stowe speedily became the most talked of woman on earth.

The national conscience that had so long lain dormant was awakened by the mere reading of a novel written by @ gentle New England woman.
