RENSSELAER, INDIANA. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28/1915.

INSPECTOR HERE TO EXTEND ROUTES

At Least to Go Over Rural Delivery Routes and See If Extension Is Not Practical. J. N. Hunter, of South Bend, an inspector for the postofflce department, is today, Tuesday, going over the rural routes or at least one route in company with Postmaster Littlefield, to ascertain the practicability of lengthening the route or routes* from their present 25-mile length to distances up to 50 miles. There are some sections near Rensselaer that are not supplied with mail delivery conveniences and it is understood petitions and letters have gone to the department asking for improved service. This will be given provided it can be done by extending the routes. If routes are extended salaries are increased and it is understood a 50-mile route pays up to SI,BOO per year. Present salaries for 25mile routes are $1,200. The inspector was not prepared to make any statement as to just what changes were being considered, that being a matter controlled by the postoffice department and on which inspectors are not permitted to talk. The Republican, however, understands that today's trip was made over Route No. 1 and with a view to granting some service over the discontinued “star” route to Moody. Relief is badly needed over this section and the greatest inconvenience has followed the discontinuance of the star route and many persons are now required to go several miles to get their mail. It would seem that a general revision of the routes out of this city with a view to getting delivery service to a great many more people would be advisable and it is possible that the inspector will do this at this time.

The Medical Attitude Toward Chiropractors.

Usually when a sect or individual appeals to the public on account of supposed oppression it is wise to ignore it even though there are some statements not according to facts. The writer was a member of the Houes of Delegates at the state meeting this year and knows well the attitude of the delegates as also the attitude of the members of this district and of this city. Being iif such a position he feels it a duty to the community to state, the exact attitude in answer to the articles in Monday’s' Republican. The 4nedical profession does not care to dictate or to suggest to whom one should appeal in case of sickness. Neither does the profession care to say that only a medicine graduate should be licensed. But both as individuals and as an organization they are maintaining that an uneducated person of any creed has no right to diagnose and treat diseases. They maintain that a person without a good general education and more than 6 months or even 2 years should not be granted a right to care for the sick. When the requirements are equal to the medical requirements then no doubt this particular line of practice will be granted a license. This is the attitude and it is an attitude taken for the protection of the people themselves. It is not aimed at any paricular line of practice but the general ground upon which we all must stand.—A Medical Practitioner.

H. S. Football Team Is Rounding Into Fair Shape.

The football team is progressing very nicely and is coming into the old time form as fast as could be expected. The team will be the lightest one in the history of R. H. S., but they will offset this with their speed, which Coach Meyers hopes to develop, as he has some material that is very promising.

Capt. Eigelsbach, at quarterback, is trying to uphold the record iet by Bill. Lakin, last year’s scrappy guard, is showing up good at tackle. Crooks, another old man, is making good as guard. Bill Wasson, this year's product, is showing up very good at end. Guorley, last year’s center, is tossing the pigskin ini his oldtime style. R. Dunlap and-King are fighting for a. guard position. Loy is holding, down a tackle position in good shape. McColly and Blue are fighting for end and at present it is lard to see who will make good, as both men are fast and'handle the ball in good shape. In B. Dunlap and Cumick, “Boost” bas two good men. Cumick had a little experience at halfback last year and should make a good man. This is Dunlap’s first year but because of his speed and weight he will play behind the line and should make a good ground gainer. Moore is playing a good game at fullback and will be a great help because of his experience in the back field. Two games have been scheduled, the first with Kentland on Oct. 9th, and the other a week later with Hammond. Both are to be played here. —Contributed. -

Every Citizen Should Take This Means of Expressing Their Choice of Candidates.

Motor Bus and Motor Truck Are Here to Stay.

Motor buses and motor trucks are here to stay. Really they are just getting started and the next five years will witness a marvelous development in their improvement and use. All that is needed is good roads. Since motor buses and motor trucks as well as pleasure motors are to be accommodated by every road making enterprise they should bear a part of the cost of road making. How to make this equitable is the next question. Roads are free for public travel, but the laws that made them so did not contemplate that they would be used for the carrying of freight and passengers in competition with railroads that pay heavily toward the upkeep of the country besides bearing the full expense of their own maintenance. What is the answer?

New laws that provide for these things. Motor companies that engage in carrying passengers and freight should be charged for road building and maintenance by the tonnage they carry. There is an opening now for the formation of a great company to construct a paved motorway 'between Chicago and New York or Chicago and Indianapolis or between any two large cities. But the company that undertakes that great enterprise must be protected by laws that will restrict the travel. Even with bad roads of the present, motor trucks compete with railroads in the carrying of freight between important points. With smooth, hard highways they will be able to reduce the cost of freight hauling by half. Then will [motor vehicles carrying every variety of freight usurp the business now performed by the railroads. Then will motor trucks back up to your com cribs and haul your com to market. Then will the road question be solved by a system of tolls that will be cheaper than repairing roads and the expense will fall where it properly belongs, on the user according to the amount he uses the road. It's coming and it’s right.
