he Dent hi resignation to the gov

nor Dalley'g recantation refill It. Yet
the auggeatlon that Bailey may have
to tlefend bla title In the aonate, aa be

had any faura In tbe matter he might
realgn again and let tha governor,

According to President Lovett, tbe
erection of tbe headquarter office

will constitute Omaha's share of the

benefits proportionately In whatever

OMAHA. March 11 To the Editor of Th
Bee: It la now practically conced-! that
every person should have one day of rest
In a week, and Kundav has com to b
regarded ss that day of rest. Why should
'tills not apply to the postofflce employes,
clerks or carriers, a to other people en
gaged In ether Unas of work?
The postmasters of some of th larg-it
postof flees in the country are commenc
ing to recngnlz this theory and are figur
ing on plana to bring thl practice Into
effect. These men are endeavoring to bet
ter the service and make things easier
for the employes. Instead of playing poli
tics. In Detroit. Mich., the poatmaater aent
out cards to the principal business firma.
asking them If the poetofflcea in Detroit
could be closed on Sundays without caus
ing them any Inconvenience through their
not being nble to obtain sny mall. Over
0 per cent of the responses received stated
that the postofflce could be closed and
nothing would be lost through receiving
tho mall on Monday morning. In case
of emergency one window of the general
delivery Is kept open for one hour end
people absolutely requiring their mall can
obtain aame at that window. After more
than six months' trial this plan haa proven
a great auccess, and other cltlea are com
mencing to do the same thing.
In South Omaha the postofflce is kept
open Hunday mornlnga. but clerks working
that dav are entitled to a day off during
the rest of the week.
The matter of Sunday closing Is lift
almost entirely In the bands of the local
postmaster and if he puts In his time try
ing to better the service, lie will try and
eliminate all unnecessary work for those
under him. but the present incumbent
thinks ail that be was spinilnted for was
to repair the political fi-ncea of the two
senntora that appointed him.
Only last Sunday the entire mailing di
v'slon. was compelled to report and work
all dav clearina up the mail that had been
accumulating for almost a week.
These few remarks are written that the
puhHr In general may know that post
office work is not one sweet dream, and

to enter n protest against Sunday work
Now Is the time for minister to bring
this suh.lect before their congregations.
