people of Chicago who take an interest in
equine matters.
Mir. Logan has endeavored to introduce
che or two features considered necessary
adjuncts to horse shows in some cities, but
which are meeting with strenuous OPPOSE
ton in Chicago. His first effort was to es-
taDish a buffet in the Coliseum, where the
visitors to the show could wash the tan
bark from their threats after an hour spent
by the ringside. To this the mayor of the
city objected and threatened the arrest of
Mr.. Logan on the charge of conducting an
unlicensed bar, or. as the mayor termed
it. in Ineligible Chicago language, ''blind
pig"
Later Mr.. Logan proposed a fox hunt, in
which the qualities of some of the show
horses could be given practical test. This
however. the Humane Society has objected
to and has threatened his arrest for cruelty
to animals. At this juncture Mr. Logan is
reported to have become discouraged and
to have abandoned further attempts to
liven the horse show. expressing the opin-
ion that ''it looks to me as If this town is

A Printing md Engraving Plant for

Third Assistant Postmaster General John
A. Merritt In his annual report, declares
that the Post Office Department ought to
have complete control over the manufac-
ture and issue of its stamps. He says the
Post Office Department should be independ-
ent of other departments, as well as Of
private characters; that it should have it's
own engraving and printing establishment
for making its stamps, and it's own vaults
for their safe keeping. and that these
stamps should be issued by its own agents
to postmasters, and through it's own. eX-
elusive machinery. With properly bonded
officers and under a suitable system of
checks and balances. which could easily
be devised, this would be far better ar

MerrittS judgment, out of the appropria-
tons annually made for the manufacture
OF stamps, and for the pay of agents and
employees to watch their distribution.
He believes in the discontnuance of
newspaper and periodical stamps. He urges
that prepayment in full of all mail matter
be required hereafter. Very little loss. oc-
