This little matter of planning begins at home. —Atter reading the type of con- versation enjoyed by New England with Old England upon the occasion of the first use of the trans-Atlantic telephone service one is bound to re- flect whether it was worth the money. —It may be true, as a shoe manu- | facturer asserts, that Americans buy three times as many shoes as Euro- | peans, although Americans walk less and ride more.

If the magnates who deposed him intend to be on the unpopular side in this controversy they are not helping themselves to much additional pres- tige and public support. The public may not have been thoroughly impressed with Ban Johnson's tactics of recent years, but it is even less impressed with the judicial baseball temperament of Judge Landls. Perhaps the moguls think, as they are paying Landis nearly as high a salary as the President of the United States re- celves, that they are bound to up- PERSONAL POSTAL EFFICIENCY Standing in line in front of the post office stamp window loses some of its charms when it s discovered that so many cash customers are in- tent upon buying “a two-cent stamp,” or just enough of them to take care of the transportation of the several letters held in bhand. It likewise loses much of its charm when it 1is discovered that numerous customers are holding parcels, which the busy clerk at the window is supposed to weigh and de- to speed them on thelr way. It is not illegal to buy one or two or to bring parcels, but as almost everybody is in a hurry nowadays it is a liitle difficult to maintain pa- In the first place, there s only one logical way to go through the rite of malling letters, and that is to have a supply of stamps always on hand. It doesn't take any longer to buy 25 two-centers than to buy one of | them; the standing in line doesn't take a moment longer. And if more of our personal letter writers car- ried a little supply on hand, or kept supply in the house as religiously as they keep a supply of other es- sentials of life, there would be mno | necessity to go to the bother of buy- | few letters were written. Conveni- | ence would also be served in that the | letters could be mailed at any of the | various letter boxes around the city In the case of parcels, it may be noted that the government went to the expense of building a speclal parcel post station on Court street. Scarcely anybody, however, seems to of it. Even one of the going parcels seem to he brought to the central post office. The parcel post station seems to function pri- marily as an incoming station. This is only part of its business, however, and parcels taken to Court street-are just as quickly handled, if not a little more eo, than when taken to the central station. What is equally important, there | is rarely a line of waiting customers | |in the Court street building. Almost anybody, while walting to go through the mailing rites at the cen- tral post office, pansion is felt. That Is no nice way for a newly appolnted member of the U. 8. treasury to speak. That he is telling the truth, however, there can scarcely be a doubt. Most of the cconomy talk was done for political affect. —New Jersey is doing something | worth while in starting the whm-lul of Jersey justice revolving toward | the state police who stand accused of such rough and uncalled for tactics | as to cause the death of a woman during an attack upon a house at ALWAYS WOUND UP Jutland.

Even the stage hands were kept in ignorance. The microphones were part of the scenery, and the electriclans did thelr work so well that not a micro- phone was discernible back stage. Which brings to light another lit- tle frailty of human nature and tem- peramental proclivities of the folk who bask in the public eye. Had any of the stars been able to locate a microphone what would he or she have done but walked right in front of it and sung into it. Many queer movements would have been discern- ible to the audience, not done for its benefit, but for the benefit of that larger audience scattered over the map. This tendency to “‘hog the air” is a new disease that has sprung up in the broadcasting profession. It seems to be next to impossible to steer an artist away from the microphone | once he or she knows where it is lo- cated. The wily electricians, however, have solved the problem by bullding flaging them. Oh yes, the sclence of broadcast- ing is progressing. Little stunts like | these help it along enormously. AN ANTI-CIGARETTE LAW The antl-cigarette law of Kansas has been one of those things which tried to regulate the personal habits | of the people. Passed fn the hope it would “protect youth,” all it did was to make the business of “bootle ging ciggrettes” a profitable husines in the state. When the war came the Kansas anti-clgarette law was most emphatic of anomalies. nearly all of the Kansas soldiers overseas cigarettes; the soldlers cigarettes above everything—and got them. When they returned they did not take kindly to the state's law; and when enough of them got elect- ed to the legislature they trained some of their first guns upon this product of rural legislation. “Protecting youth” is a noble en- were one of the | In | packages sent to | i deavor. But much depends upon how | one proceeds to do it. “Forbidding” things by law rarely attains the ob- ject desired. Education goes much further, is more cffective, and really | attains its object. Ask any of the youths and men who do fot smoke | clgarettes and they will confide it not because of any law upon the sub- Jject, but because they vinced through their education that | the practice of smoking the wi pellets is unnecessary to their hap- piness, and a feeling that if done to excess it may be harmful. Without doubt, the same conclusion has been arrived at in Kansas among those who do not smoke the things; and those who insist upon their weed re- gardless of their education do so | also regardless of any law upon the subject. Kansas has found it is diffi- cult to enforce sumptuary legls tion when it opposes the preponder- ating sentiment. INCREASING POWER While the discussion regarding state’'s rights warm warmer, the rights themselves grow less and less. The Supreme Court other day delivered smashing blow to the thesis when it gave the Senate power to compel witnesses in investigations to go un- ‘waxes and a | der oath and testify. The right had | been disputed in the Daugherty case and the court gave its decision last Senator Reed of Missouri, as ar- dent a defender of state's rights as Senator Bingham, has been free to admit that the constitutional power of the Senate to supervise the quali- fleations of its grant of authority membership is “a unlimited * power.” No exists to supervise question such a decisio is no appeal to the court: Smith, denied his Senate Investigates financial primary campaign, cannot appeal to the courts.

As the situation now stands the unlimited power of Congress to judge the qualifications of its mem- bership may be aroused; members may be denled their seats because of the color of their skin or the cut of their coats, or the type of neck- ties they wear. But such abuses of power are merely theoretical; in practical government they will not exist. FactsandFancies BY ROBERT QUILLEN Note to Landls.

Sessions will open at 10 o'clock, a. m. 25 Years Ago Today The Y. M. T. A. & B. society last night passed a resolution of sym- pathy with Farther Harty and voted to contribute $300 towards rebulld- ing St. Mary’s church. The First Di- vision, A. O. H., is holding a fair and will donate the entire proceeds. The United Foresters have withdrawn plans for renting Hanna’s armory, which will now be leased by the church for'a term of six months. A Catholic business man said today he would give $500, and a check for $100 was received from an outside source. It looks as if there would be dis- satisfaction with a four-foot bullding line on Spring street if such a move is made. Herman Schmarr and C. J. Johnson spoke against it last night at the meeting of the street commis. sloners. The Vulcan Iron Works is seeking to have the board of relief reduce its $75,000 evaluation to $56,000. Building Inspector Turbull, having learned that the insurance com- panies are now in control of the St, Mary’s church ruins, sent notice to day to W. L. Hatch, agent for most of the companies, that there is dan- ger from falling stone, and to secure the city from danger he asked him to take all necessary precautions.
