In ohter to save $300 between now
and July 1, the Post Office Department
m Washington has reduced mail
deliveries on two of the routes in
Camden to one a day. This $300 will
be contributed by the carriers and
clerks who are furloughed, and this
from an office^hat has been adhering
to the economy program of the
President's for the past year.
The Camden po*t office has been
closing on Saturdays at noon for tfie
furtherance of these economies, this
afternoon closing on Saturdays "causing
our citizens in country and town
untold i rvc o n v e n le ne e.
It must occur to. prudent citizens
that a great deal is being imposed
not only on clerks ami carriers hut
on the citizens who pay the hills.
One residential delivery a day is not ;
enough.

VOI R LAST KIND WORD
A few days ago a -ulwribor, who
i> a iifll-kiunvn citizen, came to our j
office and stopped his paper, foe the
ivimhi, in- said, that it did not just
Miit his- fancy. \Ve have since met
him on the street and it is amusing j
to note the look of surprise on his I
face that we're still in existence, despite
the fact that "he stopped his
paper." Some day?and it won't bo
long either?that man will be no
more. His heart will be stilled forever.
Neighbor friends will carry his
lifeless clay to the silent city, and
lay him to rest among the flowers;
an obituary will be published in these
columns, telling what a good neighbor
' and beloved citizen he was,
(which we hope the recording angel
will overlook, for charity's sake)?
and in a short time he will be forgotten.
As he lies out there in the
cold, cold ground wrapped in the silent
slumber of death he will never
know that the last kind word spoken
of him was by the editor of the paper,
which he so spitefully stopped. Did
you ever pause for a moment and
think that your editor, whoever hov
may be, will write your obituary
some da\ '.' ? Winder Leader.

Capital Observations
(Special Cwrwpowtoa?)
Washington, March 21.?Tha bill
granting independence to the Philippine
Inlands has become luw upon, approval
of the president. It will be
necessary for the Philippine legislature
to approve the measure^ before
October first, and to call a cohMitutional
convention, which formalities
doubtless will bj>^ promptly complied
with. Independence will become effective
July 4, 11)45, or as soon thereafter
as practicable when all condi- |
lions are met. Tariff duties between
the two countries will be gradually
put intodbflfect. The principal difference
between the present measure
and the one rejected last year by the
J'hilippine legislature is the fact thut
the new one provides for a ban do nmajvL-by
the United States after intiapamionce
of her military reservations
in the islands. This countYy
however will retain naval reservations
pending" a conference following
independence.- Real freedom will be
the portion of the people of the
islands, and everybody seems to be
happy.

Each administration sinco the
World War has had a difficult problem
to deal with in tho matter of
allowances for veterans. Congress,
realizing the potency of the soldier
vote, has been disposed to be liberal.
Each president, realizing the heavy
expense to be met by taxation, has
endeavored to put the brakes on.
Bonus legislation, in tho passage of
the original bill or in authorizing a
part cash payment, was vetoed successively
by Harding, Coolidge and
Hoover, only to be passed over executive
disapproval. Last year, Roosevelt,
in view of the condition of the
country owing to the depression, secured
drastic reductions in veteran
allowances. This year with the elec-j
tions coming 'on. Congress has made j
every possible effort to restore most j
of the reductions which were made,;
and embodied its conclusions in a bill i
which passed both houses, together
with a return now of five per cent i
and five per cent more on the first of
July next, of the fifteen per cent reduction
in the pay of Federal employes.
The bill carrying the restorations
appears to be headed straight
for a presidential veto, with little
prospect of passage over it.
President Roosevelt is preparing to
take a vacation, and no doubt he
needs it. He expects to go on a flahing
trip of a week or ten days off
the Florida coast. In this plan he
displays his usual independence and
disregard of precedent in leaving the
capital city while Congress is in session.
He has no fear that anything
can be put over on him in his absence.
Under the constitution he has
toy days withifPwhich to return a b'lll
without his approval, and that will
be about the length of his vacation
?
For some time a strike has loomea
in the automobile industry, with po- [
tential possibilities of disastrous con- |
sequences. This is the best season of j
tin year for manufacturers, who were j
di.-posed to make concessions to avoid
trouble, and the laboring classes realizing
that millions of men are out of
work, were disinclined to push their
demands in full to the extreme. The
Purulent with his usual facility for
amicable adjustment, has brought
peace. The Republicans were prepared
ti> take advantage of a possible
situation of industrial strife, but an
unkind fate has robbed them of that
issue, at least for the present, and
there is not much need for fear a.s
to the future. The situation was
grave, and the administration left no
stone unturned to prevent the opposing
sides from going to extremes.
Other industries with their employes
were watching the situation, as the
prc?t;ge ,.f the N. R.* A. and the entire
recovery program were at stake,
as well a< the welfare of the Uem-?
a" .< party.
