A Good Bill to Kill.

The people cannot get too much good,
cheap literature. Because this rs fact, the
bill introduced by Representative Loud eX-
Guiding a number Of cheap periodicals and
library books from the newspaper pound
rate should be adversely reported upon by
the Postofficc Committee. If by chance re-
ported ravorably, the House ough; to vote

all its tendencies, and the contention that
it will reduce the annual postal deficiency
should not weigh in its favor, because with
this matter, as with cheaper letter postage,
the people are not so much concerned about
government revenue as they are about the
largest and best and cheapest mail facili-
ties.
Were this bill to pass it would as already
stated, deprive the people of a great deal

Publicity the Greatest Factor
The Star Must Soon With
draw Another MiSrepre-
Sentation The Times
Has the Largest CirCu-
latiOn.

1t is generally understood that capital,
energy and experience will make almost
any business venture profitable, but with
out publicity neither of these requisites
could insure success. Publicity. there
fore. is the first and most important factor
in prosperity, and the business man
who understands how To advertise without
throwing away money is generally sure to
succeed. In the struggle for publicity, dis
Greet advertisers have long since ceased TO
patronize weekly newspapers. because the
daily brings their ads. more frequently
under the eyes of readers AMI on this same
principle, The Times, with its two editions
Il day. gives advertisers greater puhlcity
than its less modern, one-time-a-day con-
temporarics. Ii keeps advert iscrs con-
stanuy in the public mind and is certain To
bring them larger and more satisfactory re-
suits
Several months ago The Times compelled
the Star to Withdraw its misleading and
false statement that its circulation was
larger than that of all the other Washington
dailieS combined, and ii is about time that
another OF its misrepresentation should go
through the sword IS wallowing process.
Last Saturday the Star published the fol-
lowing:
"The circulation OF the Star is many
thousands in excess OF any other Washing
ton paper, and is believed to be fully five
times that OF any afternoon contemporary"
The aggregate circulation OF the Star
last week, according to its sworn state
nent, was So, 749: that of The Times was
243, ,464, or 53,715 larger Than that of
the Star. AS will be seen by the statement
given below, the circulation OF The Times
is also sworn to, and in all fairness is as
worthy of belief as that of the Star. In
asmuch as one of these statements is in
correct The Times calls uron the Star TO
submit its circulation books to a committee
OF welI-known citizens for comparison
with those of The Times, and let the verdict
OF that committee est tablish the misrcpre-
sentation made in the above clipping from
the Star.
Meantime everybody will read The Times,

OF good reading matter which now they
are enabled to get cheaply. At the same
time it would have the effect of throwing
thousands of men out of employment, and
would be followed almost Immediately by
an advance in the price Of books, of which
these cheap editions are republications.
1t would seriously Interfere with the busi-
ness OF men who send out this class of
literature to be sold on commission. because
it would prevent the return to them OF un.
sold copies at pound rates.
Worst Of all, however, ii would establish
a censorship Of the press, for every post
master in the land would have to be the
judge OF what is j newspaper or periodical,
and whether this publication or the other is
entitled TO be sent under the pound rate
or not. The bill should be killed.

tlvVHERE is no more interesting place in
this country to visit than the In
dian reservations Of Colorado said
a westerner at the Ebbtt last night.
THE Ute and Navajo reservations near
IgnaciO and Durango are probably the
largest. The Uies are big, lazy, Iubberly
fellows, drawing their regular pension from
the government, but the Navaiocs are a
much keener race of people and sclf-sup-
porting.
Both tribes are great gamblers, and
when the Utes go down to Durango in a
body to draw their pensions on pay day
/. the entire reservation of Navaioes come
up from the south and camp out until
the men are all paid. Then the two tribes
go back to the Ute reservation to gamble,
and in three days the Nava ioes will have
all the money and perhaps lot of ponies
and blankets. They invariably clean out
the reservation before they GO

from this standpoint the Unted States 10
only following a general precedent in Civ
ing partial support to the charitable insu-
tutions OF the District.
Another view OF the case, however, is
that the people or the District have right
to determine the disbursement OF their rev.
enues raised by taxation, and the proportion
OF the expenditures paid by the government
merely represents its proper share OF the
taxes raised from all property here. The
plea, therefore, that the government has
no right To pay money to any OF these char
tiles, falls to the ground as illogical. As
for sectarianisni, that does not enter into
the question at all. These charities receive
public support not because their managers
are Catholic or Protestant, or anything
else, but because they are charities through
whose operations the great public is bcne-
fitted.
1t is TO be hoped that Congress viii rec
ognize these facts and let the appropriations
recommended by the committee remain in
the bill.

school funds has to he applied TO the cduca-
ton of children whose parents pay but
a small share of the taxes. 1t must be borne
in mind. however, that George Pcabodys
$4,000, 900 were the stimulus, in
a great measure, at least, that melted
the Southern legislatures TO making suit
able provisions, and the income derived
from ii has been a material aid in the
cause OF education in the South.
1t is eminently proper that Peabody's
memory should be honored as is proposed
by South Cardinals governor. Few rich
mems benefactionS have adyaDta ged a peo.
pie as his have the South. 1t is also to be
noted that his philanthropy has always
been directed toward the poor aud eduCa-
tion. His donation of S5.G0o,0Oo for a
tenement fund for the poor people of Lon
don and his many contributions to the cause
OF education in this country are proof OF
this. His statue would be a fitting addition
to the national gallery of great men.
