Much-needed Postal Reform,

In order that the people might be we'll
educated IN matters of government, the
early Congresses put periodicals at rate
of postage which is only one-quarter of
that exacted for books. This curious dis
tinction still exists, though the periodical
is often heavier and more cumbrous than
the book. But copy of Scri5ner'S Maqqzine
will be sent by the United States to an
outlying postoftice in Washington Terri
tory at a quarter part of the price which a
book OF the same weight and the same
size viii be sent for. The result in the
publishing of the country is exactly the
same which might be seen if great shoe
dealer were "boycotted" by all the express
companies. If the express companies said
they would carry Jones & Company's shoes
for a quarter part of the price for which
they would carry Smith & Company's
shoes, they would say just what the general
Government says when it carries the
magazine weighing eight ounces fer a
quarter part of the price of book weigh
ing eight ounces.
OF this yop see the consequences the
country over. You shall 60 into great
Western book store and you shall see piles
of magazines. You shall turn and ask for
books. and you may find not so many
books in the shop as they receive maya
zines from the Century Office or from Hdr-
pers, or from the Cosmopolitan, or from the
Forum, in a month. This is very well for
the Forum and for the Century, but it is
very bad for literature; and the greatest
gift which any courageous Congressman
can give to the authors and publishers of
this country, and still more to the people
of this country, will be short amendment
to the present statute which shall direct
the carriage of all books as ''second-class
matter. Rec. DR.. E. E. Hale in the July
