Periodically thers is more or less egitation in behalfl of the elimination of the abuse of the franking privilege. This arises from the fact that the country is flooded with so much ma- terfal by the members of congress that it cannot fail to be appreciated that there is a tremendous waste involved, not only in the amount of paper re- quired and the laboe necssitated but in the burden placed upon the postal eystem with a very large proportion of it going directly into wastebaskets. With a proper rerpect for the frank- ing law it can call forth little criticism but it is the going beyond the bounds ! ¢f all reason that directs attention to the abuse and calls for reforms such us that which is now being urged of putting teeth in the law which will eliminate the abuses or doing away with it entirely. Those wic are sceking to serve their own purposes and endeavormg spread propaganda are the ones who are directing the attcntion of the re- formers to the franking privilege. But witile attention is being centered upon that it might as well be made to in- clude that abuse of much the same character” and closely allied with it of reading into the Congressional Rec- ord of quantities of matarial and po- | ., litfeal specches w nothing to do gress and entirely outsi That there t such conditions is n forts havo reached veatedly only to b tracked.

The in- crease to six cents was made neces- gary by the greates cost of operations and such being the case it can' be ap- preciated that each additional cost is boumd to mean a jump in the rates, The very same thing is being done by the government in the operation of the utilities which it has taken over. It is simply another case where the consu- mer must foot the bill whether it is food, government operation or the ex- pemss of trolley travel.

Zapata has been a gower in his province and has had a considerable following. He was a champion of the Indians who had been treated as slaves and denied all rights but he was nevertheless a terroyist and capable of giving plenty of troubse 1o any gov- crnment at Mexico City that did not coincide with his views aithough he Wag an uneducated leader. With the removal of Zapata, Car- ranza should feel that much has been accomplished although it is not so cer- tain that his death means the end of all troubls from those who have so il 15, 1919 | - | which of the| persistently followed his guidance. Itis entirely possible, however, that some understanding can be reached with the Zapatistas with a view to meeting their demands and improv- ing the conditions of ail Mexi- co. If such can be accomplished, and if by any chance his death means the end of that rebel band, it will be of great advantage to the present Mexi- :an government. will be possible for Ca increased attention to V ing would be of greater nza to devote la and noth- benefit bands, hasten the pacification of country and put into effect the forms that are nceded to start republic on the upward course.

THE CAPE COD CANAL. It has been hanging fire for a long |time but little progress appears to have been made in regard to the purchase H |of the Cape Cod canal by the govern- Iment.

Several hun- idred thousand dollars have been spent {1 that time in getting §¢ in shape for |suca use as the government required, |and now with the railroad administra~ {tion hard pressed for funds the ane | nouncement has been made that it is janxious to get it off its hands. | Like othet things which the govern- I ment has taken hold of this has proved {an expensive proposition.

In the first place that saloon Kkeeper shows that he is a creature of circums:ances over which he has no control and is geing to do just exactly as the law directs. God alone knows how that will be, for the history of official Washington the past four years has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that no man on earth can foretell what fool prank is to be played next. When a man asks this same saloon keeper what he is to do after January 1, 1920, he can answer him quickly: “Obey the constitution of the United States,” and that is what they will all do.

Reg- inald R. Belknap, U. S. N., who was in charge of the mine laying opera- tions. “Savage beasts are trapped most easily near tr ir dens,” Capt. Belknap vs, in explaining the theory —upon which the Navy Department went to work against the enemy U-boats. “Any barriers, however, that the Al- lied navies could place near the Ger- man coast and near the Skagerrack were so close to the German bases that the enemy. could at a time k through at some point sud- Iy attacking there with more than the Allies could maintain any one section of the whole from the bases of ove line, so Grea | rates To Ladies !
