RECREATION. XXXix 

WRITE YOUR CONGRESSMAN, 
Henry A. Castle, auditor for the Post 
Office Department, shows an annual short- 
age of half a million dollars or more in the 
money order system. The opposition to the 
Post Check Currency plan comes largely 
from this bureau because the new currency 
would practically abolish the money order 
system, 
This opposition should not be permitted 
to block the establishing of a currency that 
combines a safe and convenient draft for 
remittance, with a reliable circulating medi- 
um. The Post Check Currency seeks to 
benefit the masses It is a government issue 
of the same relative value as the green- 
back and is so controlled that it can be used 
safely in the mails for the payment of small 
accounts It has a host of friends and no 
enemies, outside of a limited class who 
oppose it because of self interest. 
The bill should become a law at the pres- 
ent session of Congress and it will, if public 
sentiment becomes sufficiently aroused to 
express to congressmen its views on the 
subject. Letters to congressmen from their 
constituents will aid the cause. 
Gazette, Janesville, Wis. 
Citizens should request their representa- 
tives in Congress to see that more con- 
venient money is furnished the people.—
