Evening Republican, Volume 22, Number 8, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 January 1919 — WHO IS RESPONSIBLE? [ARTICLE]

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?

Our Hanging Grove correspondent mailed her letter Thursday morning on train No. 40, the milk train, which arrived here at 7:30 a. m. The mail messenger’s stamp of this train and date was on the envelope. This letter did not get into the Republican’s post office box until noon Thursday. Either the messenger on the milk train carried this letter by and it returned to Rensselaer at 10:55 a. m., or the clerk or postmaster here failed to get it into Yhe box until after the letter had been m the office for some considerable time. Possibly, like many other letters, it dodged the correct box, and was taken out by some later.
