Congress has undet consideration a report which'caiis for a thorough reâ€" vision of the business methods of the poet office and‘poetal service. It is recommended that the postmaster general,vns’n member or the cabinet. in charged only with the general de- termination 01 questions of policy and that the actual direction of the bps- iness be‘ given to an officer, on of- ficers, appointed by the President for long terms.

One man believes that Sunday games are wrong. Another. just as sincerel , and perhaps with better' reason. behaves that Sunday games are right. Each man holds to his opinion with a good conscience.
