T?mth Cavalry prtRonera THE WORM TURNS Aftornoon. nowapupers that a few days since were calling attention to the fact that all the "big" newe was "breaking" for papers -published In tho evening;' ar? now seized with -a wondrous silence. Every single otory of Importanco with referonco to the Mexlcun crisis lias "broken" for the morning newspapers, and a veri table harvest of intensely interesting news it ha? been. All of which goes to ?how that no paper, afternoon or morning, can get a "corner" on the nows, and either ono that claims lt ''bas it on" the other, eitner as a medium of giving the news first or as a more effective advertising med ium, is guilty of tho grossest bun co nih, flapdoodle, pifflo and punk. POLITICS IN WAH Says an item appearing undor a] Washington dato lino: "There are too many deserving democrats to be taken' care of in the event of w?r ?o give Co!. Theodore Roosevelt the rank of -Major Clonera! if he raises an army division. Thia otateinent was made by army administra tion ol?lclnls. Lugging politics into war is J ir st | a little moro than moat or us are pre pared for. Even Carranza and Villa] have been made to otriko uand3 un der the shadow of the war clouds. TRUTHFUL REPORTING Some newspaper reporters had rather distort the truth in their news itenio when a simple statement of fact would serve them better in the long run. ? reporter goes to sleep on the job and inila to get On item of news that happens within h ia work hours. His competitor comes along after | him and goto; tho Item. In newspa per parlance, that ia a "scoop" or a| "beat." In .the next issue of his pa per the aforesaid reporter, in order I to moko lt appear that ho did not fall down on tho joh and got "scooped," ? will state that the Item of news In question originated'at such-and-such a time-an hour wholly without his territory. In this particular ?oin? his ?tory contradicts tl o story which his competitor bas already publish ed. But it docs-not discredit h'iB (contemporary, as tho unscrupulous I reporter may think at the timo he is] distorting tho truth. Tho roporter who attempts to pull this sort of stuff wilt , sooner, or later bo ee'nsumed hy tho'tire of his own Iniqwty't thfl 'pub lic will got wiso to tho fact that ho ls unreliable; and the paper for which ho worka will t?o Hie real suf ferer in the end. . -, ? . g_ /.>.> . ? POSTAL SYSTEM "CURIOUSNESS" I In the United States postal rates the Laurens Advertiser sees most wondrous things, and cites in gup port thereof a bit of personal oxperr lenco tho editor ot that journal had In the post?nico at Liurens recent ly In sending out a package .by. parcel Posl,. . \ ??)'% Roar him tell it: "Uncle Sam's postal rates are curious things. The other day a package was sent to the post office, weighing three: pounds and fifteen ounces .abil ' the clerk 7 quoted a rate of Jhlrty-ono couts on it, saying at tho. time that If the package weighed four pounds lt would go for ulhn cents. There ; lipon The Advertiser .mau picked.., up a string train the floor' and : asked that lt ;be weighed and was told that lt wolgbed two ouucea*.-<V ' Ka' thou tl?d the >trlng around tho . package and ' had lt all sent for nine cents. The .two ounces of string, then, L reduced t1*,0 "** penso of shipment'?< tWenty-two .cents, making the value of tho string, eleven cents per ounce. That's rather high for . strings, . ereb ba thia time ot high'prices, ,but aa t (ready said, Uncle Sam's -postal rates are curious things/' v?be ' advertiser baa yet many ."cu rious things" to see in bur ' pbstof ftce system, if it has bot already seen them. Not th* least bf t?es?^in ."cu riousness" is' tho grand .and '?wo-?n spitlcg .amount ot red' tape that la necessary to go. through with c.-cry time any -one wishes some insignifi cant change made tn .the; matter things arv done. For example, let a nowspapor .publisher ask the postmas ter to make up ~. pouch ko that sub scribers residing at a email station alr.ng . the railroad -ran got their peV's oit *h? same train that canico quich?stbi,1ha larger townr, and not have tb walt, often a half day longer, to; get their ^papers off a regular mail train.

Why , postmasters arc not given autiiority by the postofiicc department to do somothiog on their own initiative or authority and at the dictates of their own sound judgment, is more than un ordinary human be ing is able to figure out. Some day, perhaps, thc postofflce department will bo gotten down to such a prac tical, huBinesR-liko working busis that the postmaster will ho permit ted to whittle his own pencil upop his own initiative and autiiority and without treading a labyrinth of red tape in order to porform sucli a feat.
