As a rule the life of a city’ employe is in no greater pTil than that of men in other vocations and the necessity of a city council going to the ex]x*nseof insuring their lives and limbs does not up]x*ar at all urgent. An agent made a spiel lx*for<* the Huntington council the other night mid the New- Democrat gets sarcastic about it and remarks that it is a good thing and should be jiushed along, even to the city’ employes who op'rate the horseclipping machine. Postmasters hereafter will not lx* permitted to rent boxes to minors without the written consent of the jiarents. The order was made by the jxistofficc department to correct an abuse growing out of the fact that minor girls rent Imixcs mid open up correspondence with outside parties and in that way keep th(* correspondence a secret from their parents. This is a good ruling and will doubtless but us stop to much in flirtation. It may also stop a more serious evil. When a igrl has 11 correspondent she is ashamed for her other to ktiw she is treading on quicksand that niuy engulf her.
