The rural free delivery service will be placed under the classified service some time during the winter. This was determined by President Roosevelt mediately after he succeeded the presidency. This is one of the few branches the government service remain- unclassified, and it is destined be one of the most important departments of government's work. There will be no difficulty whatsoever in classifying the rural free delivery clerks Washington and the special tors field. The difficulty comes with the rural carriers. Each of these must bare his own horse must be personally acquainted with the people living along his route. He must have their confidence, for he has authority to sell money and postal notes, the average citizen will not pay his money to the carrier unless he knows him, particularly as the carrier is ally expected, after making the note or postal order, to mail it for the purchaser. In such cir- it will mil do to select carriers by competitive to be efficient, must the wherein his route lies. Some method must be devised to his selection re- of political considerations and to get the best man for the work. That is the prob- which Civil Service must solve. The President bis advisers the extension of the merit system to this service will make even better than it now it. Postmaster General Charles; Emory Smith is so convinced of the importance of the rural service that he has recommended to Con- the appropriation for the fiscal July 1902, be of and every cent of that sum will be advantageously the past four mouths 1,300 new free delivery routes have been established, an average of a month.

The population served is estimated to be inhabit- square miles of ten i the average population ed on each route being As a carrier is required for each route, it can be seen that with routes Uncle Sam employs a j this service, which has only begun. it is an interest- fact that the service has caused a large in the amount of mail in the sections covered, so while the cost is not increased much, if any, as compared to the fourth class system the revenue promises to be largely in- creased. The of organizing this branch of the De. has been directly the hands of August W. of Ohio, who was first an assistant postmaster at Toledo, and then, under Mr. was made superintendent of the delivery system.
