L-t t:.e a— just mentioned, and others iha* might be named, be-

a:, i a - i those whoni society purp- sely isolates and maintains for its owr
• rot(.s tion. I he other two divisions of the unemployed, according to th*
its- r at' n if l'rof. Chapman of Manchester, are employable who are
w ..r:,' • work, arid the employable who prefer loafing. I should not
imagin. it .Id •« - r.o :- i nt. nded in any quarter that the state is
under any obligations, moral or otherwise, to maintain the latter, save
as maint-njn ■ a a • .n . lentail v n essarv when they become such a
mocaie to the safety of I iciety as to require locking up. The question is.
therefore, reduced t •:* t.r< t s 'ion as to whether the state is morally
bound to n.a.r.'ain •; y. t t e n of the unempn who are willing and
anxtO'.- to ge' work, it w'r.o. iue-- on assumes, cannot find it under
the present organi/a* >n of industrial so. lety.
The 1 .aim is S' li.etit: • - n.ade that there is an irreducible minimum of
employable unempi ed. If th.s be true, and it could be further demon-

Much can be said relative to the expediency of the state's adopting

What the government thinks of rural
free delivery may be gathered from the
reiommendation of Fourth Assistant Post-
master ii- ih rai De t!raw. that t.he rural de-
livery be supplement.ti by a parcels post
delivery.
W here in the readjustment of routes it has been necessary to reduce
the frequency of rural free delivery from daily to triweekly, the postoffice
department reports, the amount of mail has so increased that the dailv
delivery has been restored in a large number of instances.
The plan of rural free delivery was no more problematical at its
inception than was the experiment of free delivery of letters in the larec
cities, which was b. _un at a time well within the memory of living men
The penny post was still in vogue only a little more than 40 years ai;o.
and th. postmaster general at Washing ton thought delivery would bank-
rupt the government.
It was in a New England city. New Haven, that the experiment was
tr ed. and its subsequent success is a matter of record.
Rural free delivery is one of a number of agencies that have brought
the city and the country nearer, and have increased the farmer's oppor-
tunity to become in the broadest sense a business man. Before these means
of communication were established the farmer labored under great diaad-
iantages of remoteness.
He was necessarily out of touch with Un-
made his life one of more or less drud i v II.
plain of iie'glevt. but he usually accepted In .
patience.

• tr.v .ar appeared, the telephoin «. . iie.lullcd, rural free delivery was
esta shed, and communities were drawn top. ihcr swiftly as neighbors
on the same road had been in the yeais t.eb.ie
As to rural tree delivery then' is no thought save that of its develop-
ment and growth. Hint is the view which the government takes, after
a survey of the benefits accomplished,
and it is the view which the farmer 0 a
takes, basid on personal knowledge of
its benefits. fir
