CAN MAKE THEIR OWN BOXES
Concession From Pottoffice Depart
ment to Rural Patrons
Wanhington, D. C On the first
day of August next a new order, de
signed to simplify the regulation in
regard to rural delivery boxes will
go into effect. The postmaster-general
has directed that on and after
that date patrons of rural delivery
need not purchase their rural boxes
from one of the 200 listed manufac
turers who have put upon the market
300 different styles of boxes, approved
by the department, ranging In price
from 50 cents un to 14. but mav. if
they choose, cohHtruct their own
boxes or have then? made to order,
provided that in so doing they con
form to the requirements of the de
partment as to size, durability, Bafety
and protection from inclemencies of
weather.
In order to maintain the essential
principle that all boxes established on
rural routes must be brought under
the protection of the United States
statute, which provides penalties for
anyone molesting a letter box "estab
lished by order of the postmaster-
eeneral or nnnrrwert op rtpsiennterl hv
him," the modified order provides that
individuals who desire to make their
own boxes or to have boxes made to
order after their own design, must
submit a sample of the material of
wnicn tne dox is to De constructed,
or of the box Itself, to the postmas
ter of any first or second class post
office in the county where the rural
service-is in operation, and the post'
master, if be finds Riirh host conforms
to the specifications and requirements
or me department, is autnorizea to
require the owner .to paint conspicu
ously thereon the words "approved by
tne postmaster general."
The same order nrovides fnr an
early reinspection of boxes heretofore
annroved with a view to the rradi:al
elimination after reasonable notice, of
such boxes as are not found to com
ply with the requirements of the de
partment, witn this object in view
it is directed that all sample rural
boxes on file at the former henrtminr.
ters of division superintendents of
rural- delivery or in the offices of
post-office inspectors in charge shall
be transmitted to the fourth assist
ant postmaster general at Washing
ton, D. C, to be examined and tested
by a committee to be appointed for
mat purpose.

An Associated Press cablegram un
der date of London, July 12, follows:
"William J. Bryan, having had the
opportunity of reading American news
papers, consented today lo discuss
some of the questions which have been
raised since he has again become
prominent as a presidential possibility.
He said:
'I notice that I am describPri hv
some as conservative, ."and in order
tnat there may be no misunderstand
ing on that subipet
that in one sense I have always been
conservative, ,The democratic pol
icies are conservative in that tw, om

principle in either of the platforms on
which I stood. We were accused of
attacking property, when in fact the
democratic party is the defender of
property, because it endeavors to
draw the line between honest aeeum-
" u y "onest methods on the one
side and predatory wealth and im
moral methods on the other.
