Newspaper Page TextSUNDAY CLOSING or POST OFFICE At the request of a good and relia ble citizen of Way cross, we publish the following, which treats of the Sunday opening of ihe postofllce: Kdlt.tr of The Herald: Dear Sir:—It appears that the movement for the closing of the pest- office on Sundays has assumed such propositions that It is Jlkely to he put Into operation. It is reported In Mondays Herald that many of the clergymen made it a special topic fbr a J»alin Sunday sermon. In view of the agitation front the pulpit it might not he amiss to stop and Inquire if ' there is nor another side to the ques tion. It may fairly he assumed that the post office was created for the purpose of conveying and delivering mail matter from one pernon to an ©‘her and It doesn’t anywhere appear that It Is the province, or in the power ol any class of persons to restrict that duty. If a majority of the people of tl is city can deny me the right of getting my mall on one duy yf the vrek, they can with equal right deny ne that right on any day. The infit sive of a moral issue into this move ment has caused tome otherwise fair minded people to lose sight of a very Important phase of the question. 'That Is that they have no more right tj deprive ine of my Sunday mall, than they have to deprive other citi zens of theirs. Which comes to thb. The proposal Is to close the carriers window und leave open the boxes. 8<i since I am not a hog renter, but de pend on carrier service, I must wult till Monday, while those who rent boxes can get their mall.Just as be fore. If this Isn’t } class legislation. 1 full to know the meaning of that term. It is no answer to say that I shouldn’t get nnd read mall on Sun day. for that Is the business of only one man In Wnycross and he Is the writer. It may be unfortunate that these fourteen men have to work on Sunday, but so do a great many oth er men. The needs of present day society demand *lt, moralize all you will. I am a subscriber to the Suvanna.i Morning Nows. They’publish a Sun day edition, for which I have paid my money, lly what right does anyone say that 1 must wait till Monday to get It. while other men are getting theirs out of their boxes. In paren thesis. 1 will say. I always have It read before church time. If the post office service Is to lie cut out. why lot be honest nnd conslstnut and cut it out for all. In Savannah, It Is said, now renters of boxes tuny get their mall by paying ten cents. Just to as sure the clerks against. people who would call for mall which was not tnportant. In there a man In Way- cross who ca nhoncstly say that It Is any* r* 'bn clerks business whether my mall Is important or not? there Is, he must he a green speci men. How do wo know wl mall will lie? (’art one tell In nti vonee whether It Is Important? The government has no tight to charge an extra tax on mall matter which hr.a paid the regular postage. The p* ft office Is established for the con venience of all; not of the majority r.i matter who they are or what they represent. To deprive us of our rights In the matter won’t at all assist in any moral uplifting. Fourteen clerks may get a few more hours to them selves on Sunday’s but 1 mlssdoubt If the execrations of the defrauded ones won’t more than balance that ac count. This question ought not to be settled hastily or by virtue of uulpit utterances. In fact It wftnt be right ly settled at all unless the rights of everybody stand or fall equally. And lu the Intter ease, It surely won’t be rightly settled. Herewith is presen ted a splendid opportunity for out fertmaster to prove himself a man ci Judgment and refute to deprive of their undoubted rights the great body vf householders In Wayerosa. who do t n; rent boxes. !» Is useless to try to tejrct'a moral or rellgioua Issue Into t *is quest‘©b.
