Tho estimates of Postmaster Goncrnl Hitchcock for next year show that tho postolllco department promises fair to pay Its own wny. Tho mall sorvlco comes nearer to tho pcoplo than any other branch of tho government, for It reaches every homo ns well as shops and ofllcc8. It costo a lot of money. Mr. Hitchcock asks for J2G0,733,SM3, nnd tho appropriation for tho depart ment nlwnys Is set forth In tho ex penditures for each year, but tho earn ings from tho malls bring back tho outlay to tho treasury. This business Is not roported In tho current dnlly statement of tho treasury which sot forth only tho deficit pnld. This amounted last year to J17.000.000, and will bo $0,000,000 less for tho current twolvo months, whllo It Is prodlctod that It will disappear In tha next fiscal year. Tho dopartinont goto no pny for tho vast tons of matter which It carries for other branches of tho government. If it did tho offset against tho doflclt would bo vory largo. Tho rent of offices In Wash ington nnd In public buildings else where doos not cover this traffic. Tho work dono by tho postofllco Is a marvel of cheapness. In volumo and In extent of territory covorcU thoro Is nothing to bo compared wlth It The reduction In rates slnco the days when 25 cents wns charged for a letter from Now York to Columbus, O., does not conso to bo a wondor. Tho system which for two cents de livers a messngo In writing weighing nn ounce from Mnlno to San Fran clsco not only but to tho Philippines, or from tho southern point of Florida to tho northern cxtromlty of Alaska, Is a model of efficiency at tho mint mum of cost. When wo consider nlso tho burden of malls ovorscn to cor tain countries whero tho forolgn rntcs are tho same with our domestic charge, tho challongo Is bold that the world presents no parallel to tho economy nnd to tho achievement. Kuropo Is compact in population with distances measured by' hundreds of tnllea only. This Is especially truo of Great Drltnln. Thoro penny post ago Is proclaimed as a triumph nnd an example Americans forget that tho Drltlsh penny Is tho equal In cur rent valyo of two cents of our money. Tho cent Is often called a penny, but It Is only half a penny, and thus tho term Is a misnomer. Our postal rates on letters nro now just thoso of Great Urltaln. Penny postage has long pre vailed horo as well nB thoro. That with froo rural dotlvcry. nnd with transmission over tho conMnont and to tho Islands, tho earnings aro to cover tho expenses, may well gratify officials and citizens. Has Plan to Care for Ex-Presidents FOR R?5l0rflT5 THE groat movement for tho con servation of tho natural resources of tho country, at tho present tlmo exerting salutary influences upon ovory important national activity, has embraced a now Hold. A safe, sano and successful method of conserving and finding a method of caring for our ox-prcsldonts Is tho latest ldoa In tho conserving line. A provision In tho constitution of tho national conserva tion congross Is responsible for the proposal, and serious 'consideration is bolng given It, not by tho political droamor or theorist, but by tho great public figures of the country. Bornard N. Dakor, retiring presi dent of tho congress, by virtue of a clauso in tho constitution, becomes a member for life of tho exccutlvo com mittee, nnd will, so long as tho con gresses nro held, continuo to give tho benefit of his counsel and oxporienco to tho president. Tho suggestion has been made, and has already crystallized into an or ganized sentiment, to adopt tho samo method with tho president of tho United States, mako him, for life, nn advisory momber of tho president's cabinet and give him a competence sufficient to mako him independent. Speaking of this proposal, Mr. Dakor Bald that It was really surprising how many men thoro woro In tho wost who thought that this method furnished (ho solution of tho porpotual porplnx Ing question ns to what disposition to mako of our ex-prosldonts. "On its fnco tho proposition Is cer tainly a plnuslblo ono. It stands to reason that after a man has boon president for four or eight yonrs ho knows tho probloms and dtfflcultlos which confront tho man at tho helm of tho Bhlp of stato hotter than doos his successor. It tho ox-prcsldonts could bo mndo advisory members of tho cabinet of tho president, tho lat ter would get tho benefit of tho ad vlco of tho formor. No mattor If thoro should bo a chango In tho ad ministration, this would mako no dlf forenco to broad-minded mon. "Of course, thcro would havo to bo legislation providing that when a man Is elected to tho presidency his suc cession to tho cabinet position neces sarily follows. All this is not mcra theory. It Is Indorsod by Bonio of tho political thinkers of tho country." Expert to Head the Economy Bureau WHAT 1b considered a real step to ward groator economy and moro olflclency In the management of tho government's business was taken when Proaldont Taft appointed Dr. Froderick A. Cleveland, director of tho bureau of municipal research in Now York city, as tho head of a con tral staff that will work on tho econ omy and efficiency problem under tho direction of tho president. Announce ment was also made that each of tho cabinet officers will organize in his department a commlttoo or commis sion to bo known ns an economy and efficiency organization. Thoso stops woro taken under tho law passed at tho laBt session of con gross directing tho president to con duct nn investigation into tho bust noBs mothods of the several executive departments, and giving him $100,000 Ith which to carry forward tho In quiry. Tho final plan3 wero not ap proved by tho president until ho had consulted with n largo numbor of business mon and had recelvod writ ton suggestions from numerous audit companies. Tho central staff, of which Mr. Clovcland Is to bo tho chief, will bo composed of four men In nddltion to tho chief. Its function will bo to koop tho president informed ns to condi tions In tho novernl departments. It might properly bo called a bureau of Inspection. Tho economy nnd effl. cloncy commissions to bo organized In oach department will undortake to, nscortain if greater efficiency can be obtained without Increasing the cost of tho service It Is Oxplalnod nt tho White Houso that tho general movomont does not contemplate tho dismissal of govoni mont cjorks, but tho gaining of great er efficiency. Tho president has como to bellevo that tho dopartmonts work at cross purposes In Bomo Instances npd that It Is frequently tho caso that in n particular dopartmont money Is wasted becauso tho sorvlco Is not or ganized or centered as It should be. Opium Invades Army at the Presidio THE war dopartmont is advised that opium, tho iusldlouB onemy of tho armies of tho world, has invaded tho ranks of tho United States troops sta tioned at tho Presidio, near San Fran cisco, to such an oxtent that a strong campaign, in which are involved moro than 2,600 mon, has boon launchod In an effort to crush It out. The officers admit tho seriousness of tho situation, nnd declaro It to be the gravest problem they havo boon called upon to sottlo. Drastic meas ures aro now being taken to rescuo thoso of tho troops who havo fallen victims to tho subtlo oplato. With all the energies of tho department of war bent to the battle, an appeal has bcon mado to tho civil authorities. Just how gcnoral tho uso of tho poppy Julco lias bocomo Is not esti mated, but It Is admitted to bo moro alarming than ever boforo In tho his tory of tho nrmy. Acting Commnndor Col. C. Dooms said that in all his careor ho hnd never oncountorcd such n general addiction to tho drug, and that at worst his observation had never disclosed ti higher percontngo of opium using than two to thrco pur cent. It was at first estimated that forty per cent, of tho men at ho Presidio wero using tho drug, but this was dcclarod cxcesslvo, a moro prob able flguro aftor company and hos pital statistics had been compiled, bo lng ton per cont. Alarmed at this high percentage, appeals wero directed by Colonel Lundoen, commandant at tho post, to tho district attorney's ofllco nnd to the ofllco of tho chief of police, with tho result that raids on opium dens by tho civil authorities aro bolng mado.
