Tne public can afford to wait before it comes to a final conclusion. THE COST OF MAIL SERVICE. The opponsnts of the administretion never quit making false statements with regard to its ways of doing hus- iness, the lavish way in which 1t deals with corporations and trusts, when. in fact, it does business with them just | as_others do, The statement having been mada at the west that the postoffice depar; ment paid for every postal car of the rallway”| service, whether it stood in the yard or was attached to a train, wus re- futed by the Kansas City Journai, which took a railroad where the lle originated and showed that this road received $28,082.84 for its full yea:'s service; that it used on the route 672 tzain miles a day and thal tho rats of compensation was 1144 cens per mile for the use of travelirs postoffice cars or parts of cars and for the ton- arried, both in such cars and in baggage cars. The travel of postal clerks assigned on thix routa rcad company receives mo rompensa- | tion whatever for the. transportation | of mails except that fixed by the post- office department at the time tue uver- ‘| age weights are determined, and ‘a railroad company receives no pay for the rallway postoffice cars furnisi and hauled except when they are | moved at thé direction of th> depart- | ment and in accordance with the terms of the contract or under tha require- tions. It was also found W eomp in this same section costs 11 cents for each mile of travel over pun'i: roads and of the two is the larger award in contrast with the service junme. The fact is, the government drives close bargains in its contra ts and is Millie and Bessie were playin~ at keeping house on the back steps. They had already played at every! could meal necessary day, bad scrubbed and dusted and now their ingenuity was at a standstill. Suddenly Bessie had a brilliant idea, She fairly danced with delight at_hér originality . “Oh, let's play making jelly!” she aid. 3 T should say not!” returned Millie, very decisevly. “My sister Jennie has been making preserves and jelly all summer and 1 know that's nothing to have fun with.” Bes was to taken aback at this outburst that she had not thought of any reply to make before Millie asked her: “Does your ma make preserves and jelly*” “Bometime: " replied Bessie. Sometimes]” repeated Millie. “No wonder_yon think it's fun. But my sister Jennie has been making that sort of stuff all summer. “Jennie is going to be married, (you know.” explained Millie, “so she is learning to cook. Pa says she should learn to cook a good -steak the first thing, and ma says she ought to learn to make biscuits and such things first, but Jennie says she wants to learn to make preserves first, 'cuz she says Will—that's her beau—likes sweet things and so does she. But we just hate ‘em. She don’t eare nothing about us.” added Miflie, bitterly. “And it's taking her an awful long time to learn to make such thin, Just think of it! All summer! o “Onee when she was putting on some raspherries one of the jars broke and she scalded her three fingers.

And ma said she was taking a rest, too. they “The worst of it was" ¢ Millie, “that we never had ‘no ding nor ple or g like while Jenniuuhr e VS We always was left over after the jars all- ed.

Oh, tell’ you, It was just the awfullest thing! And T guess we ain't over it yet, ‘cuz I heard Jennie say yesterday she was_going to make some peach butter. Ugh! Neither gpoke for a while. ‘When 1 grow up,” Millie said at last, with vehemence, “and have to get married and have to learn to cook, you bet I won't make jelly and preserves. 1 just hate 'em.” Silence relgned again for a time. Both -little girls were buried in deep thought, Bessle trying to grasp the full meaning of Millie’s speech and Millie brooding over past horrors. “Play make jelly!” repeated Millie with a sneer. “You never was in a ‘kitchen where there was nothing but hotness and steam, and you was al- ways gettin’ chased out. First it was ma, being afraid I'd get scalded, an then Jen would chase me, and she was #o_scared that I'd get a taste of her old preserves. I never wanted 'em anywa Again both fell to thinking. “Say, Bess, smell somethin'?" asked Miilie, suddenly coming out of her reverie, bher nose - polnting kitchen- ward. “Smells like peaches, I think” an- swered Bessie after sniffing the air. “Uh-huh! that's what it is. Jennie's making some peach butter, and it's just fine. . Hurry up and we'll get some,” called Millie over her shoulder to Bessie as she ran up the kitchen steps.—Chicago News, to be enough of a landscape ornament to be worth it.

We have not completely awakened to the fact that the era has dawned when the air-lords may lord it over the land-lords. While the legal points are being discussed by the Aero club of | America, the alr-ships and air-lords | and the air-lanes have got into the up to date novel, and the issues there- in are thus summed up by one of the chatracters in e court case: | “How 1 am damnified,” says he, “by | the airship, which may drop a mon- key-wrench, a spanner, a gob of bal- last or a casual remark into my priva- | ey? Like other highways, the air| will be infested by accidents and col- lislons. Aeronefs will fall into the rural silo, drag-ropes will rip up barb | wire, and Pyramus and’ Thisbe, in their Areadian wooings, may be smothered | by falling gas bags, or torn asunder by | dragging anchors, inserted in their | pancreases! 1 ghudder, your honors, at what may happen when the air Is populous with flying-jiggers, pop-pop- ping about, raining ballast, and wine bottles, and bacon rinds, and stale ba- nanas, and hot coffee, and soft-boiled eggs, and lobster a la Newburg on a lost and undone republic!” This is very well put. What may happen when the air-lords sail over land-lords has not been fittingly con- sidered yet, When the air-lanes are | all qpen for business who can tell what the perils may be to those who | can only stand and look up? | | NOT PROVEN. When Rear Admiral Colby M. Ches- | der, & sub-committeeman of the ex- | perts who pronounced favorably upon the claims of Commander Peary as a discoverer of the North pole, volunts'- ily assaults Dr. Cook and publicly denounces him as a deliberate faker, his pretence of friendship for the ex- | plorer falls to the ground, and under his declarations his charge that the dottor is a ‘dellberate faker is over- turned, He takes Dr. Cook’s story as he tells it and says: “In his narrative Dr, Cook, after assuming that on April 7, 1908, he was @s far north as 8§ degrees 28 minutes, bases his claim of reaching the poie on an average daily journey of some fourteen miles a day for fourteen days. As a matter of fact, he would have fad to go forty miles a day in order to cover the distance from his real lo- ‘eation, .according to the Nautical Al- manac, to the poie. Following Dr. Cook's first state- ment concerning his journey, Prof. J. N. Btockwell of Cleveland showed that if his supposed Iatitude were correct Dr. Cook ought to have seeén the mid- night sun above the horizon on April 1. Dr. Cook's own account fixed this date at April 7, In trying to account ‘for thig discrepancy Dr. Cook stated that he did not say that the sun was on the horizon: at the time specified, and that there were many days in which the sun was ,obscured by cloud. The inference drawn from the denial was that on any of the preceding sev- #n daye the midnight sun might have been seen above the horizon if the Weather had been clear, But in his later and fuller narra- tive, Dr. Cook specifically stated that barometer remaine the weather became settiod at floon now there was a ing light, while the sun at mid- ‘sank but for & few minutes, leaving the frosted bilue bathed in splendor.’ Of the weather be- ‘these two dates he wrote, was at no time a perfely horison, but the weather was 80 impressed that we think that Con- necticut is outclassed in apple grow- ing because we are unawars that this state took first premiume for the four standard apples grows in this ceuitry at the recent exhibition >f apples niade at Boston. Mr. J. H. Hale, the famous peach- grower of South Glastonbury, is au- thority for the statement that thereis no apple land equal to the orchard lend of New England, aud that better fruit-growing iand is being goll here for $50 an acre than is sold for $700 an acre in the Hood river valiey of COre- gon where New Faglind capiial is really seeking invesimen: urd whie tte western fruit is ‘arge and kand- scme it lacks the flavor which New Englan¢ grown appies have. No lve fruit growsr should fail ty read Mr. Hale's addr: desiverel he- fore the Connecticut sfaje hoard of trade at New Haven and printed in the last issue of the Connecticut Farmer, for he shows that with pains- taking labor New England can recover her own markets from the western apple-growers who cultivate their or- chards and faithfully spray their trees. He cites where one orchardist this year received $54 a tree for Baldwin apples which had grown upon trees that had been properly taken care of. Apples from old, unpruned, pest-in- fected orchards are what in these days® disgrace our markets. EDITORIAL NOTES, Collector Loeb is now being pictured ag the faithful watchdog of the United States treasury Taking every one at his face value is to be very reckless in the affairs of this wicked world, An celection without a tragedy in Tennessee or Kentucky is mot put down as a complete success, Some men would not think that life was worth living if they did not find something to kick about eyery day. The man whose past is past finding out Is not making any complaint about how the world is using him.

The tiger has had a serious time. e BT T Every lazy man has not a hook- worm, for this destrover of industrial imputse does not flourish north of the Potomac. This country has the greatest Dreadnought, we are told, but there is not enough of it to meet the Brit- ish fleet. Affinities are so scarcé in St. Louis that a venturesome citizen owns up to having found one for himself in the spirit world, The fact that Dr. Cook coufd buy three hundred gold medals with his lecture receipts detracts from the in- trinsic value of the gift. Those whe are taking the measure of Mayor Gaynor a5 a presidential pos- sibility might wait until he has been chosén governor of New York. The way in which the lie is bandied about in these days upon the slightest provocation shows that an Ananias club is really needed in every town. Happy thought for today: 1f you do not, get what s coming to you to- poor. We learned that by collecting old_papers. magazines, books, etc., we could sell them for from $40 to 360 a ton, which would help us greatly in securing our funds. Not we hear that the New London Salvation Army wagon makes weekly trips to Norwich for the very same errand; which does not seem just, since Norwich has its own Salvation Army and needs all that it has to ald its own unfortunates. Let New Lon- don people help their Salyation Army, T say: and let Norwich givers remem- ber that in this case charity may well begin_at home!, T have never learned that New Londdn residents offered to pay the expenses of the town of Nor- wich for its annual poor account. Why, then, should Norwich furnish funds or supplies for eny New London organ- ization as a regular thing? INDIGNANT, Norwich, Conn., Nov. 8th, 1909. The Whys and the Therefory Mr. Editor: It seems the American people have reached the “parting of the v viz., “Shoes and meat.” They may choose to not eat meat, but if they do, they will have to go bare- foot, or make moccasins. But-why not eat meat? The answer is, “The price is too high.” Why Is this? Is it al- together natural that meat should be 80 exorbitantly high? What is the cause for it? There must be a cause. WThe farmer that produces the meat does not get as much more for it than he used to, while the consumer pays considerably, more, The gulf between the producer and the consumer is steadfastly widening. Government statistics inform us that the producer gets only about two- fifths of what he produces, it is self- evident that somebody, in some Wi gets the other three-fifths, and gives nothing to the producer for it. The consumer, which is a producer in some other line, has to pay more or go with- out. All produders are consumers, but all consumers are not producers, The non-producing consumers must live, and as they produce mothing evident- 1§ they must live on what others pro- duce without giving an equivalent. Now, if the producér of meat could get what the consumer pays for it, and the producing consumer could get the other three-fifths which he does not get, the producer and the produc- ing consumer would be on a level governed only by the ability of each to produce. Neither of them gets only about two-fifths of what each pro- duces, be it much or little. The ques- tion is, Who gets the three-fifths, and how? 'This taking away three-fifths of the wealth from the producers of it, will have a tendency to throw them out of employment, would it not? Ex- ecretary Straus is quoted as saving, he question of the unemployed is the question of the age. It is the counterside to years of unthinking east (Indifferentism) in this country. The man who shall solve this. problem of the unemployed—which may be in- soluble, but if capable of being solved —that man shall earn everlasting grat itude and fame from the whole world. There is put one mhxfi,an of this prob. lem. viz., change the Svstem of laws(?) ihat takes from the producer three- fifths of all the wealth he produces. Change the system that is creating a debt three times as fast as the pro- ducers can produce the wealth with which to pay it. Following this debt is expenses increased, which compels increased taxation. When taxes are increased the property owner squirms and unless he can shift it on to some one else he raises a howl All these things originate from one cause, Yes, “Self-interest makes eowards of us all in many directions.” The question of the unemployed is not the only question to be solved. The question of taxation is looming up at a rapid pace, This guestion of taxation (di- rect) looks lfke a see-saw game. There are three things or factors in the game, First there is a certain amount of expense to ‘he paid by the federal, state, county and municipali- ty, as an admitted fact. This means taxation. The greater the expense the greater the tax. To raise this tax there are two ways of doing it. One is to ‘assess the property at its full value, which would lower the rate of day, u may get it tomorrow. Delay under some circumsiances should not be annoying. ‘The damage done by deer in the state of Vermont costs the people ten thousand, and the deer are considered taxation to the lowest practical point. The other is to assess the property at one-half - its value, which would double the rate of taxation. What difference would it make whether 'the pre is assessed at its full value, with & tax sufficient to meet the ex- penses, or whether the property is as- Empire Are Yellow. The question of granting naturaliza- tion to Turkish subjects, the state de- partment holds, is for the determina- tion of competent courts. The bureau of naturalization of the department of commerce and labor has declared that Turkish subjects are. not entitled to naturalization, because they are yel- low, not white. According to the view held by the race experts of the Smithsonian insti- tution, the Syrians, a large portion of the Armenians, Arabs, Semitics and dwellers of Northern Africa, such as the Egyptians, notwithstanding the ct that the hot sun in that climate has tanned their skins, are as much a part of the white race as any blond white man can be. Dr, Justin S. Kirreh of New York, who has been upturning every avail- able stone in Washington recently in his effort to overthrow the naturaliza- r. A. Hrdlicka tion ruling, says that of the institution's division of physical anthropology has informed him that so far were the Syrians from being of the yellow race that they never had any dealings or connection whatsoever with the Mongols, and that evéry history would sustain that contention.—New York Herald. The Charms of Bird-Lore. Ostentatious in his love-making, his nest-building, and the rearing of his young, he has doubtless offered to many a dweller in the tenements their only glimpse into the charms of bind- lore. “How many a back tin roof Is the eagely watched feeding ground of the sparrows? How many a helpless baby bird, fallen prematurely to the pavement, 'has been to some boy of the «alley @ first pet to awaken the germs of sympathy and protection? While standing on a street corner one gusty April morning, my attention was at- tracted by the watchman of a half- completed building, who from his tiny cabin was tossing fragments of cot- ton out upon the wind. Kollowing them in their course, I soon observed that they were all gnatched ere they reached the ground by English spar- rows, who bore them off triumphant to their nests. In the conversation that ensued, I learned that the man had a keen interest in the birds, and by reason of his intelligent attention to their wants was enabled to over- come the dreariness of his task in a broader enjoyment of life—Clinton G.

Advice Too General. Of late there has been a flood of ad- vice to young men as to what they ghould do for occupation. The presi- dent while in Mlssissippi urged young men to take up farming as a business. The trouble with that sort of advice is that it is altogether too general Tt would hardly be taken seriously if the men were advised wholesale to engage in the grocery business or plumbing or dry goods or manufacturing, but when directed to agriculture it somehow seems different. Men who are fitted for farming can undoubtedly make a suecess of it, but it must be remem- bered that such success demands above all else a sufficient working capital, familiarity with business methods, abil- ity to direct others, lots of hard work and a practical knowledge of agricul- ture. Even then there will be as many disappointments as in_any other mer- cantile or business undertaking.—Bris— tol Press. For Automobilists to Ponder. The rights of automobilists on the streets and highways are established by law and by general recognition. The wrongs charged against automobilists continue to pile up an indictment for which all users of automobiles have to suffer the penalty in some degree are preventable. Child slaughter by automobiles s inexcushble, The child crossing the street cannot be expected to appreciate the difference between a 60 horse power car rushing along and the slow-moving cart in front of which he may safely run. The man in the automobile, who, if he is fit to manage it, knows 'Its power, its liability to accumulate speed and momentum be- vyond his immediate control, and has a responsibility for the safety of other users of the street commensurate with his greater power of injury. There are careful and safe motorlsts by the thousands. The rights which these persons have in the road are impor- tant. But if these rights are to be preserved in full, the wrongs which the careless and unsafe drivers commit must be punished, and more severely than the courts as a rule have been inclined to decree.—Boston Herald. Cash Value of Playground Two significant pictures appear on the same page of a pamphlet gent out by the Playground Association of Am- erica. One is a reproduction of a pho- tograph of a group of boys at the Baltimore playground, underneath which it is stated that “$1 pays for one child for six weeks” The other shows a group of prison cells, with the statement that “each inmate of these cells costs the state $.50 a week.” 1t does not follow that the cells would remain empty if all the boys running wild in Baltimore were frequenters of the playgrounds, but it undoubtedly is true that the $1 per boy for six weeks expended on the vlaygrounds will save the state many a $2.50 per week for occupants of such cells. - Healthful recreation amidst good surroundings will do much to develop manliness and bring out a ‘boy's better @nd this is what the public pray- grounds are accomplishing in many clties.—Springfield Union.
