CAMPAICN FOR BETTER MAILING
The postal authorities are conducting a campaign
I 1 this week for better mailing. Throughout the na-
I » tion the people are careless in mailing packages,
KJ "especially improper addresses causes the loss of
millions of dollars in merchandise and other valu
ables, besides clogging local post offices and the
‘dead letter office in Washington. The dead letters
without sufficient address for delivery average 20,-
’ 000,000 annually. An enormous amount of first
J class mail matter.
$k> /Last year the government received from letters
ElflHpropcrly addressed and turned itno the dead let-
’' ,.rf r office by the various post offices of the country
i’ $55,623.96. This amount was deposited in the
V. United States treasury and will be used for general
:|\ expenses of the government. From the sale of or-
I plianed packages, the government received $120,-
[1 ooo; postage stamps taken from the mails or found
*\ loose amounted to $12,166.67. Amount collected
.1 from senders of letters which could not be delivered
I on account of inadequate address amounted to
‘ $92,007.54. These amounts, however, are small in
comparison with the amount represented by checks
.V / rX mchey orders found in letters carelessly all
ied amounting to $3,546,642.54.
r is high time the government exercised its every
ource to educate the people for a better mailing,
Jrvice not only for tho benefit of the postal em
ployees but for a saving to the public. In order to
improve conditions and make better the mail ser
vice, Postmaster General New has set aside this
week as "Better Mailing Week” with the hopes of
Mtving the American people millions of . dollars
caused by careless and inadequate addressing of
; packages and letters.
LEADERS IN AMERICAN HISTORY
The recent announcement by Prof. William S,
Myers of Princeton of his selection of nine leading
r men and women who have made history in America
has caused considerable comment and brought on
selections of other lists of names cf nine of tha
if > loading figures in American history.
' Professor Myers* selection is as follows: Wash
ington, Hamilton, 'Lincoln, Roosevelt, Coolidge,
Chief Justice Marshalt, Harriet Beecher ‘Stowe,
Charlotte Cushman and Asa Gray. *
Wc cannot agree with the learned professor on his
full list of selections. There are some names on his
list which deserve the topmost round in fame, but
there are others we do not concur in with him as be
ing leaders of America's greatest men and women.
We are willing to accept from his list Washington,
Lincoln, Roosevelt, and we would add to that list the
names of Woodrow Wilson, Robert E. Lee, Stone
wall Jackson, Grant, Grover Cleveland und Alex
ander H. Stevens.
To our mind these men deserve the ranking In all
lists of national figures. America has produced both
men and women of the greatest intellects of any na
tion and it is hardly fair to mention a list of only
nine names. In fact there are half a hundred or more
who deserve to share first honors equally. But, lio
that as it may, let us be fair and just to all sections
of the nation and give credit where it is due regard
less of sectionalism and petty prejudices. Let us
not live in the past harboring malice towards one
another and keeping up the spirit rf strife which
was bom to a nation under unusual circumstances
all of which have long since been wiped out. Today
wc are living in a reunited country' which knows no
division or separation of its citizens. Let’s keep that
ssurit in harmony and forget past differences which
brought on the ntost cruel conflict our people evep
experienced—brother against brother and father
against son. The principals for which the war were
fought have been settled. Regardless of what sec
tion of the nation men and women are from, who '
have made history let’s give them full credit—
whether they be natives of Maine or Georgia..
The government officials are acting wisely (n
their efforU to recruit an army of 400,000 men to aid
in harvesting the crops this summer and fall. These
men will be uied in the west for grain and in the
south for cotton.
