Some I,ae Mall.
United States Senator E. J. Burkett and
Congressman J. F. Boyd were morning vis
itors at the convention. Both delivered
short addresses during the afternoon
meeting.
The oldest postmaster present In point
of continuous service In Nebraska Is J. H.
Wells of Prairie Home. Lancaster county.
He has held a postmaster's commission for
twenty-five years.
Colonel John Ltt of Benedict told of one
of the patrons of his office raising a big
howl because he happened to find a let
ter he had written to a friend In York In
nis own postofflce box. After a careful
investigation It was found thst the Irate
patron had placed the letter there himself
Instead of mailing it, and that It remained
in the box a week.
One postmaster dropped a question In the
question bos wanting to know what a post
master was going to do who gets a salary
of $30 a month, while his rural letter car
rier gets $46 a month, and who Is boss?
Another query was asked as to the right
of a merchant putting a brick In a package
to bring its weight up to four pounds so a
to come under merchandise rates T The
postmaster making the query said that
such a thing had been practiced at his
office.
There was a manifest disposition on the
part of the postmasters to dodge any dis
cussion of the parcels post law.
Barkett for Snnday Closing;.
Th convention re-assembled promptly at
1:1$. Senator Burkett was Introduced to
the convention and delivered a short ad
dress. I am pleased and honored In the privilege
of meeting with you here today," he said.
"A public officer Is a public servant and
the bast .officer ta th on that renders
th moat .faithful and efficient service to
the public. As postmasters you are nearer
to the people than any other class of pub
he servsnts, and In giving to the public
the best measure of courtesy, you give
them a better opinion of the whole official
force of the. government. Remember at
all times that you are public servants.
I have the fullest faith that the post
masters of Nebraska will do all they can
to uphold tha government. It lie with
you t set as teachers of th public In
th matter of faithfulness to the publlo
trust.
"As you know, I am and always have
been an ardent believer In the policy of
closing th postofflcea on Sunday. Ia In
troducing this Bundsy cloalng postofflce bill
in the senate I mt with much criticism
snd much commendation I shall keep
hammering at it until th measure passes.
We want the backing and support of all
Of you postmasters as weO aa th jwpl
of Nebraska for this measure. The post
office Is th only public office that Is kept
open on Sunday, and I will venture the
statement that no mail Is received on that
day that -Will suffere in the slightest de
gree If kept over untlt Monday morning."
Senator BurVett then gave a short his
tory of the evolution of public building
bills, how they were eventually passed and
how the appropriations can be made for
them. He' also went at some length Into
the matter 'of general appropriations and
how special appropriations were brought
about. In conclusion he stated he would
like to meet all ef the postmasters and
especially such of them as he had not
heretofore met.
Coaa-re-ssman Boyd Speaks.
Congressman Boyd spoke briefly, stating
that he concurred with Senator Burkett
In the belief that a "public official was a
public servant and that the government
wss measured by the trestment the people
received from the postmasters. He also fa
vored the Sunday closing law and wiould
do what he could to secure Its passage by
congress.
Resolutions were adopted commending the
efficiency of President Palmer and Secre
tary Cook fo Tthelr efficient services dur
ing their- Incumbency of their respective
offices, to the first' assistant postmaster
general for sending representatives of his
department to the convention, and for the
valuable Information so freely given by
these omcials,, which resolutions were
adopted by a rising vote.
Resolutions were also unanimously
for courtesies extended: to the Ak-8ar-Bn:
to the Millard hotel; to Senator Burkett
and Congressman Boyd for their presence
and addresses, and to all of the Omaha
dally papers for the liberal space given
the proceedings of the convention.
The report of Secretary-Treasurer Cook
adopted to the Commercial club of Omaha
was read and referred to the executive com
mittee. For Education of PtUle,
A motion prevailed that tt was the sense
of the association that the postmasters
enlist the. Interest of the superintendents
of the various public schools In their re
spective localities in the matter of edu
cating tile school children In. the matter
of addressing and stamping mall properly,
and that some method be adopted whereby
the publlo may be better Informed upon
the matter of proper postage and the proper
classification of mall.
Short addresses were made1 by Miss A.
Wllley, postmaster at Nellgh; Miss Cora E.
Raker, postmaster at Oretna, and Miss
Erwln, postmaster t Rddyrllle.
The convention then adjourned sine die.
Automobiles were In waiting to take the
postmasters on a ride about the city, and
this pleasure waa Indulged for a couple of
hours.

FINANCIAL SYSTEM IS WEAK
Washing-ton Banker Condemns Meth
ods of the Government.
BIG SUM OF MONEY LOCKED UP
Plan Is Against Best Known Method
of Finance and Far Behind Way
of Other Countries (iovern
aaent and Brekera.
CINCINNATI, O., June SP.-Before the
Ohio Bankers' association today, Milton
E. A lies, vice president of the Rlggs Na
tional Hank of Washington, spoke on the
financial system of the Vnlted States.
1'rlttrlsea Financial System,
Probably not since the day of Andrew
Jackson, Mr. Alles began, has the public
Interest In the relation of the government
and the banks been greater than during the
past year. Mr. Alios pointed out the
singular fact that while America was
quick to adopt modern methods in almost
every field of endeavor It had been slow
In working out a financial system that
would keep pace with the extraordinary
developments of the country; .that while
we here taught the old countries new
methods In arts' and Industries our Cur
rency and banking lews had remained
crude. "They do not belong to this era of
modern equipment; they belong to the days
of the ox-cart and the sail ship and have
no place In an age of electricity and steam."
Mr. Alles demonstrated how necessary It
is, under our present system for the sec
retary of the treasury to give occasional
assistance to the money market In order to
avert financial disaster. Every secretary
of the treasury, in the past thirty or forty
years, had been obliged to render such as
sistance. It was made necessary by reason
of the accumulation of revenues In the
vaults . of the government and the taking
out of the circulation Just so much money
as wss received by the government. Every
reason which sucli relief should be extended
existed, yet every secretary of the treas
ury, by giving the assistance, had sub
jected his assistance to political criticisms
from his opponents "and so long as we
maintain an Independent treasury, Into
which Is poured our surplus revenues,
necessitating subsequent distributions
among banks, so long will political op
ponents continue to inflame the public
mind."
Idle Money Cans af Disaster.
Mr. Alles said that the government sur
plus for the current year would amount to
between $8O,000,OUO and $s0,000,000 and that the
locking up of so vast a sum could not be
tolerated, as it would be followed by
financial dlsaslur. He suggested that the
collections be made through the banks,
withdrawing such amounts from the banks
as are needed to meet expenditures. By
thla plan the secretary of the treasury

position to afford relief He urged that the
adoption of such a plan would render our
circulation more elastic and would elimi
nate some of the evils of the present
system. Mr. Alles concluded:
"In the mean time and pending the en-
actment of other laws we must do the best
we can under existing conditions. That the
troublesome .problem, are receiving., the
.v,n.t -r. ...Uri l , ' .
CortelyoU Is" evidenced by that fact that he
has appointed a commission to study the
relations, between the treasury and the
banks with reference to the distribution of
public funds. This commission Is composed
of Charles H. Treat, treasurer of the
United States; William Barrett - Rldgely,
comptroller of the currency and George E.
Roberts, director of the mint."
