Meeting Held at the Nation’s Capital and All Officers Re-elected—Ad dressed by Mr. Cortelyou. Postmaster A. U. N. Folger return ed last week from a meeting of thej National Association of Postmasters of the second and third class which took place in Washington. Mr. Fol- ‘ ger was very much enthused with the meeting and returns to his work with a more exaulted idea of the duties of his office. We take the following report of the meeting from the Washington Times: i "The National Association of Post-! masters of the second and third class, now in session in this city reconvened at 10 o’clock this morning. “The most important part of the morning session was placing in nom ination the names of the candidates for office for the incoming year, and; 1 he selection of the place for the I next convention. “Invitations were received from cit-i ies in New York State, Illinois, Penu-! .sylvania, Iowa, Michigan, Virginia, Texas. Indian Territory, and Indiana, | hut through the earnest solicitation of H. A. Hopkins, secretary of the or- ! ganiy.at.ion, Detroit, Mich., was chos en as the place *>r the meeting of the) next, or third, annual convention, which will he held in August, t'.'oti. "Bach of the present officers of the association was renominated for elec tion without opposition, a° the mem bers were thoroughly in accord with affairs and prevailed upon the incum bents to serve for another year. Views of Mr. Lawson. President Richard F. Lawson said) to The Times that he was voicing the ! unbiased opinion of every member of j the association when he declared that they were more than pleased with the cordial reception that had been ac-1 corded them by the officials of the de partment and by the Chief Executive j of the L'nited States. The organization was reluctant, I so he said, as to what view the Post master General would take of the na tional body, but from the remarks Postmaster General Cortelyou made yesterday he was sure the organiza tion would now go to work to enroll upon its roster the name of every sec ond and third class postmaster in the United States. “ ‘The object of the National Asso ciation of Postmasters of the second and third class,’ so Mr. Lawson stat ed, ‘was to aid in the improvement of the postal service .through the mutual | interchange of ideas of members and tne officials of the Postoffice Depart ment and that is what we are here; for.’ Advocates Free Delivery. “Prior to the election and install-; atiem of officers Postmaster Filson, of Cameron, Mo., addressed the meeting on the subject of ‘Free Rural Delivery’ and proved to be an ardent advocate of that system. •I “The officers elected are as follows: “Richard L. Lawson, Effingham, 111., president; William C. Noble. South 1 McAlester, 1. T., Vice-president; H. A. Hopkins, St. Clair, Mich., secretary- treasurer. In addition tho forty-ftvo vice-pve i lents from the different States and Territories of the Union were re-elected. “A majority of the members will re- iv,:tin in the city dver Sunday to en able them to go sightseeing. Mr. Cortelyou's Speech. "1 am glad to greet you as officials of 1 ho I’ostoflioe Department, and I am gratified to know that you take an ac tive interest in your work. The ser vice ip which you are engaged is one of the most important under the gov- ernmenl. Postal facilities play a large part in -our daily life, and while in many respects our service is the best in the world, we have much to learn, j and if we have the right American j spirit we hold ourselves ready at all i times to profit by tho experience of others, whether here or abroad. “Organizations within the depart ment to receive its sanction In any de gree must have for their object itn-, prnvements in the service, or he of a purely fraternal or beneficial charac-i ter. W'tb any other purpose in view, j they are detrimental to the service, to 1 their members, and to the public. I believe the object of this meeting toi be a worthy one. and I have come here! today because I want you to feel that the Postmatser General is interested in overv proper effort to raise the standard of efficiency in the postoffice department. “My duty as head of the depart ment is to insist upon loyal and effi cient service from every employe as an Individual, and without any thought of his affiliations with any organiza tion. I recognize every employe as an individual, to he appointed, advanc ed .transferred, and in all respects treated upon merit. I shall consult the Interests of all employes, and shall keep myself open-minded to suggest ions looking to Improvement. The department operates under the law. Its limitations ore clearly defined. Its executive officers must consult the Interests of all the people, must pay only such salaries and make only such assignments of Its force as they are authorized to do by congress. Within these limitations, it should be the duty and pleasure of the Postmaster General to secure for every employe such recognition for his services and compensation therefor as ho finds possible and consistent with the public Interest. That I will do, and It must be clearly understood that tho offi cials of the department, and not the officials or members of any organiza tion. are the proper persons to present tho department’s needs to congress. If T find that any class of employes are Inadequately .compensated, I will do whatever 1 properly can to secure In creased compensation. On the other hand, I will recommend curtailment in any branch of the service where the compensation seems opt of propor tion to tho work done, and this applies not only to all classes of employes, but to Individuals. A Purely Business Institution. "The postal service should be a bus iness institution. It annot be made such if other considerations than mer it govern in the discipline of Its force. Postmasters hold a peculiarly Import ant relation to the communities in which they live. They are direct rep resentatives of the department. Their servi e reflects credit or discredit upon it. Thy should serve the Interests of all the people of their communities, without regard to political, social, or business affiliations. This does not mean that they are divested of their rights as citizens. They would be un fit for their positions if they did not take a proper interest in public af-j fairs, but a proper interest in public affairs, as a matter of course, bars them from participation in factional difference or any other political action that would bring discredit upon the service or show a lack of appreciation of their relation to it.' “Efficient as the postal service is, then- is still a sad lack of good busi ness In some of its branches, and many years of routine m< 'hods have brought about an inertia that is difficult to overcome. 1 think we have too much red tape in the department. I think we go around too many corners, in stead of making straight cuts to re sults. But these weaknesses and diffi culties should be hut incentive to ev ery man and woman in the service, from the highest to the lowest ,to strive faithfully to raise its standard, that it may be made the great busi ness establishment the people have a right to expect it to he. “Every postmaster, every employe, can contribute his share in bringing this about, and I shall hope that each will do the work allotcd him, not only because it is his duty, hut because his j interest is aroused by the assurance that he will receive just and honorable treatment.” A FLORAL FESTIVAL.
