Tn insisting on the closing of saloons at 1 o'clock tu the .morning, he has, to an extent, oliminat ed the allaight spree. The enforcement of these regulations has raised materially the moral tone of the without interfer fng with their legalized business. Many saloon proprietors seem to realize the gain which hae come with law enforcement, but the saloon combine apparently does not. Its petty efforts to get even with the mayor shows how it longs for the old lawless regime. Saloonkecpers ae a class, as well as the public at large, should give the saloon combine to understand that they approve of the efforts of the mayor to keep the saloon business up to the standard fixed by law and that they condemn the spite work im the counell by which the saloon combine seeks to embarrass the mayor, High Cost of Carrying the Mails If the figures given out by the Amertcan Weekly Publishers’ association are correct, Uuele Sam is “easy” and is tn much need of a freight bureau or traffic agent. ‘The government, according to these figures, during the fiscal year ending Juno 30, 1906, paid the railroads $32,000,000 more for cartying its mail matter than the express companies paid for an equal tonnage. That is to say: ‘The average rate for hauling one hundred pounds af mail be- tween New York and forty-nine important commercial centers t# $8.01. The average rate paid to the railroads Sy the express com panies for a similar service ts $2.43. These figures alone explain the deficit in the postoffice de- partment And it fa easy to understand how a Chicago company of cap ftalists could make the offer to take over the department and run ft without cost to the government. By putting the postal depart Ment on a business basis the Chicago syndicate would make « handsome profit. For several years Assistant Postmaster General Madden has Claimed that the annual deficit is caused by the low second-class postage rates—that on newspapers and periuticals, and bas urged congress to increase these rates. The claim is not justified. The deficit is caused by poor business methods as shown in the high rates paid to the railroads for bauling the mails. oppose the ef- the saloon bust. better » laws of city, state and nation, doors to saloons, In Germany The governmental situation in Germany reminds one of the stroggies between the English king and parliament in the days of the Stuarts Whea the retchetag refused, after a lengthy debate, to vote th funds for a continuation of the war on the Hottentots, that body was (dissolved by the kaiser. A sew pariiament mast be clected Will this new body support the kaiser? Certainly not if it re flects the present temper of the German people. The people have realized that the German army, whose boast has been that It is the greatest fighting machine tm the world, bas made a sorry mess of conquest in Southwest Africa. England's war against the Boers did not bring it particular eredit. And there Is even less to the arms of Germany after its foug-continued amd costly war against the African savages, Moreorer— Leaders of the opposition ia the reichstag have sprung many scandals respecting the army in Africa. Bloody excesses have marked the conduct of many of the campaigns. To be sure it is not always possible to adopt the international code in a struggle with naked savages, but there are limits to the Teprisals of vengeance Evidences show that on occasion Germar troopers on African soll have gone beyond the limit. These scandals and the failure to make headway are handi caps to the kaiser, who wants an appropriation of several millions that the fight may go on. Should the new reichstag refase? To withdraw bis army from Africa would humiliate the katser and the empire. But {t requires money to conduct campaigns.
