Burnaby: •The man who wins is tho man who does, The man who makes things hum and buzz, The man who works and the man .who acts, Who builds on a basis of solid {acts; Who doesn’t sit down to mope and dream, Who humps ahead with the force of ■team.

Reduced Rates on All Railroads Frank Weldon, Sec. and Gen. Mgr., Atlanta, Ga. GEORGE F. DeBROSSE. He la from Mtateaboro, and Pretl- dent of Georgia R. F. D. Carrier*. W. R, 8PILMAN. Superintendent rural free deliv ery service of postofflco depart ment. Though there Is some talk of C. M. Adams, of Iowa, for president of the National Letter Carriers’ Association, It Is more than probable that Paul Lindsay will bo re-elected. Paul Lindsay Is rather n remarkable young man, and he Is so thoroughly wrapped up In the work of advancing the Interest!) of the carriers, Is so alert and progressive and withal so keenly In aympathy with everything pertnlnlng to the work, that the best men In the organisation feel that he should be con tinued where he Is, Rather an unusunl story comes to light concerning this youthful-appeur Ing, earnest-faced young Georgian. Two years ago he was elected nation al president. He was on Are with ardor for the organisation, and practically gave his entire time to advancing the methods of hie fellow carriers all over the Union. The position Is almost purely hon orary, the salary not more than paying for the substitute carrier employed when the president's duties keep him from his route, and for the postage used In the large correspondence. So Intense was Paul Lindsay's seal that when the small salary allowed him ns president was exhausted, he began using his own funds. Then ho placed n 11,609 mortgage on his home at Tucker, Ga- and that money went for further ing the Interests of the association. Somehow this news reached Henry P. Winslow, owner and editor of The Rural Free Delivery News. Such devo- tlon to work touched him profoundly and without President Lindsay's knowl. edge or consent ho published an appeal to rural carriers all over the Union to aid In lifting the mortgage on their president's home. That appeal, combined with a simple statement of facts, touched the brave men who tolled In sunshine and storm to deliver mall to the Isolated homee of the country. . . .. Contribution* began pouring Into the office of The News. Though the car riers are nearly all poor men and re ceive email salaries, thsy gave willingly and gladly. A large part of the 12,100 contributed to pay the mortgage on Paul Lindsay'* home wa* given In eums of less than II. . , The mortgage was due last July, and President Lindsay waa preparing to give up his home when the check for more than enough to pay hi* Indebted ness arrived. . ' He was profoundly moved by this substantial evidence of the affection and estesm of the men over whom he presides. „ , It Is perhaps one of the most remark able Instances of aelt-sacriflclng devo tion to a cause ever recorded. And that Is why most of the carriers tell you that Paul Lindsay Is to remain at the head of the association, though C. M. Adams is one of the forceful factors In the organisation. The West feela that It Is entitled to some representation among the na tional officers of the carriers associa tion, and I. urging two candidates: for national secretary. P. EL Cull, of Con cord, Mass., Is secretary now, and a very efficient and capable one. It is generally admitted. The light Is not on him personally, but the West wants nn. of the national officers, O. Chacey, of Kansas, a member of the national executive committee, and Dert R. Childs, of Iowa, secretary of the state organisation, are the two names heard most frequently In con nection with the secretaryship. Both are good strong men, and very popular with the carriers. . Ohio leads the Union In the number of rural mall routes, with Indiana, Il linois and Iowa as the. next competi tors. Ohio has about 2.700 routes, while Georgia has some 1,600. There are over 17,000 rural mall routes In opera tion In the United States. A Georgia man, by the way, had the honor of In troducing the first bill for rural mall service. And perfect neutrality Is maintained In the statement as be tween Congressman Livingston and Hon. Tom Watson, the two claimants. General regret Is felt among the car riers at the absence of Henry P. Wins, low. editor of The Rural Free Delivery News, of Chicago. Mr. Winslow Is largely Interested In the development of electric railways throughout the mid dle West, and an Important deal pend ing Just at thia time necessitated his presence In Chicago, He~ Is keenly In sympathy with the rural carriers, and does everything la his power, both through his paper and rsonally, to further their Interests stltutlon and by-laws of the national association. He began his career as a postofllce clerk In Marshnlltown, Iowa. When the development of electric rail ways was In Its Infancy he became In terested and has amassed a fortune In the business. Twelve years ago he attended a convention of street railway men In Atlanta. He was then secretary of the Chicago system. That the Farmers' Union of the coun try will concentrate Its full strength In an effort to aecure parcel post In this country at the next session of con gress Is sure. This fact was clearly stated Tuesday afternoon In the address of R. F. Duck, worth, president of the Georgia Farm ers’ Union, before the national rural letter carriers. President Duckworth Is a member of the national legislative committee of the union, and stated that he would spend the winter In the national ta | tal with hie committee working the passage of a parcel post bill. With a million and a half people (perhape many thousands more by the time congress convenes, for the union Is growing amaslngly) back of the proposition, congress Is likely to pay more heed to the growing demand for a parcel post than It ever has before. For many years efforts In congress to secure parcel post have been success fully combatted by Senator Tom Platt, of New York, president of the United State* Express Company. Ths Farmers’ Union Is also In deep est sympathy with ths efforts of the carriers' association In behalf of good roads. The real keynote of the carriers' con vention Is “Good Roads,” and some stirring talks along thla line will be heard before the session has ended. Both the farmers and the carriers realise that better pikes mean more to them than to any one else. It Is more than probable, therefore, that the Formers’ Union will urge Federal aid In tho furtherance of good roads every, where. The spirit of fellowship and har mony that should prevail In all branches of the postal service was aptly Illus trated and explained by Postmaster Willard EL Holt, of Bellevue, Mich., In his address before the national postal convention Tuesday. Among other good things ho sold: "The postal depart ment. from tho highest official In Wash ington to the veriest messenger In the service, should be as the members of one great family, each working In har mony with the other and for the bene fit of all.

'The spirit of fellowship, Incidentally os exemplified In this beautiful South ern city, Is fast becoming the spirit of the age, and must be If the best results ore to be attained. Working In har mony for the common good, the postal service of the United States may and will become the moat efficient on the globe.” i * — George F. DeBrosse, president of the Georgia Rural Letter Carriers' Assocla- tlon, Is one of the hardest workers "for the good of the order" who Is In attend ance of the national convention. Mr. DeBrosse was elected president of the carriers at the last convention, suc ceeding Fred White, of Buckhead, who was perhaps the youngest man ever elected head of a state organisation of auch Importance. Mr. DeBrosse is enthusiastic over the outlook for better things for the rural carriers, and believes that the national convention will be productive of great benefits to the rural route men. Georgia standi eleventh In the list of states as regards rural mall routes. The stats now has 1,482 routes. The Seventh district leads In numbers, due to the excellent work of ex-Congrrss- man Maddox and Congressman Gordon Lee. The Fourth district la second In the state, Judge Adamson being espe cially aggressive In securing the serv ice. It IS Interesting to observe the Influ ence of rural mall on the roads of the various states. Indiana standa espe cially high In the matter of Improved roads. With (8,106 miles of highways, It has 21,877 miles of Improved road ways. Massachusetts, with 17.082 miles of roads, has 7.842 miles Improved. Georgia, with 67,202 mllea of roads, has 1,614 miles Improved. Nebraska stands iretty near at the bottom of the list, t has 78,461 mile* of roadways, of which only 12 miles Is Improved.
