Now the senate is further out at sea
in a leakier boat than ever. What II
spectacle is presented to the country.
Behold a majority eager to surrender to
u minority and unable to make the sur
render 1t Is too absurdly illogical to
be true, and yet it is exactly the aitua-
tion.
Having victory in their hands they
are anxious to get rid OF it, and cannot
find a way to let go. Senators are NOR
titled. euraged, confused, suspicious,
rcsentful, revongeful, obstinate, hope
less, helpless, mob. They are doing
nothing, can do nothing, aud give tho
country no reason to think they have
the intelligence to do anything if they
had the courage to try.
There was a time when this body rep
resented the legislative dignity OF the
country, and then its statesmanship
was equal to its dignity. That was be-
fore the senate was chokod with towards
aud imbeciles.

Manhattan day at the fair did not poll
SO many people as Chicago day poured
through the turnstiles, but it is believed
that Of those who did attend at least
70, 600 were visitors from New York
who we're there to make day. This is
an immense number OF people to travel
thousand miles on mission of good
will. 1t is an achievement that honors
both Chicago and New York.
1t was altogether natural for New
York to want the fair and to be disap-
pointed when she failed to get it. Per-
haps it was natural that she should
doubt tho ability of young Chicago to
carry through successfully an elaborate
and costly programme such as no coun-
try on earth had ever attempted. 1t
may have been only human to feel and
to show some resentment at tho almost
impudent dash of the western city.
But Chicago triumphcd. She raised
the money, and within her own borders
she built an art city such as hadnever
been 60 much as thought of by any 9TH
or people since tho world began. New
York's journey was not go much to see
what had been done as to admit grace
fully that the young giant Of the west
had accomplished the impossible, and
to congratulate her on the wonder Of
her triumph.
Dreamland, with Nil that is within its
walls, has given Now York better
appreciation OF the conquerinG genius
OF Chicago. New York's graceful reg
ognitiOn OF the triumph has warmed
the big western heart OF the city by the
lake. There is now better under-
standing between these two cities, each
great in its own unrivaled way. 1t is
the destiny OF each to be greater yet,
and there eau be no rivalry between
them.

OF melancholy expression of abused

carload. The raise was rather hard on
shippers at this time. as the fact that

the handling of the beef output.
During the past few days there have

The Growth of the Postal system.

Less than so years ago there was really
no postal system in this country. Pre-
vious to lSl. the mails We're carried by
private firms. and rates varied according
to distance. Carriers often travelled on
foot or horseback, and the progress was
slow. In 1916 some Of the post Offices
issued stanIl, of their own, called pro
~visional i~ssles." The adhesive stamp
was first nse,l in this country in ISL.
and prepayment was made compulsory
in 1856. In 1853 the stamp containing
the head of Andrew jackson was issued.
and from then until 1885 the style
adopted contained the profiles of lresi-
dents of the United States. Public Opin-
ion.
