An express company official OF high
rrade has issued circular on the debat-
ed question Of who should pay for the
revenue stamp on the express receipts.
OF course the conclusion is that the dear
public should foot the bill. He says that
the present arrangement is the most eco
ncmical for the shipper, because If the
cypress company revised the rates to in
clude the stamp the cost to the shipper
would be at least double what it is now.
Just 60, but there is no demand, excuse
or justification for revision Of the rates
to include the stamp. The rates are too
high now. AS the maker of the instru-
ment stamped, it is the duty OF the ex-
press company to stand the expense.
This rule prevails throughout the COM
,nercial and business world The express
companies suggest that they can double
tie burden on the public by revising the

"WaItlng for the Signal"

Henry O. Morris, the we'll known in
surauce man OF Pueblo, is the author Of
q strong and startling political novel
which has Just come from the press OF
The Shuttle Publishing Co., Chicago.
1t is entitled "waiting for the Signal.
Mr.. Morris is direct descendant Of
Robert Morris Of Revolutionary fame,
and. his book is blndgeon leveled at the
sins that are enfeebling and undermin-
ing the beautiful structure which his
famous ancestors sought to plant on en-
during foundations. It is tremendously
frank. It is crimson tale. II is daring
and splendid. 1t suggests q great hid
den force, now arrayed and daily COM
manding many recruits whose mission
and destiny 1t is to accomplish, by an al
most bloodless revolution, the cleansing
of the temple of liberty, and the restora-
tion OF the spirit and aims and hopes
which filed and animated our forsfath-
ers. The book is we'll written and in
parts the scenes are wildly and power
fully portrayed. DR.. Kearby has re-
ceived few copies OF the first edition.

To the Editor of the Enterprise.
Many members OF the Melon associa-
tion feel that there was mistake made
in not adjourning for four weeks; also IN
not electing an auditing committee who
should examine thoroughly the books as
soon as they would be balanced and
ready for inspection.
The money expected from the railroad
company on the ice rebate, and the par
tial payment which will probably be
made by the st. Louis people, can not be
expected until the day Of the meeting.
Nov. 26. and consequently can not be
pro.rated and paid, for at least two days
after, hence the present directors will not
be able to make settlement and render
a statement Of receipts and expenditures.
In Justice to them the business should
not be taken out OF their hands until a
full investigation shall have been made
by the auditing committee and their re-
port presented to the association. Then
they would be in position to say, If ev-
erything would be found straight: ave

Our theory has been that the Philip
pine islands should be held by the United
States for the mutual good Of both par
ties, but especially that the islands be ell
eyated and civilized. But now comes n
demand for the recall of the Colorado
troops. II the sanitary condition OF the
islands ie such that healthy, rugged
regiment like the first Colorado can not
stand the climate few months, the pros
pect is that any control of the islands
would prove immensely expensive. A
few regiments would have to be on the
Pacific ocean constantly, en- route to re-
iieye the weakened army of occupation.
We suspect, however, that much OF the
trouble with the Colorado boys is home
sickness. They would not be thus affect
ed il they had active campaigning on
hand, Int the dullness Of garrison duty
is no. the soldering in which they hoped
to participate.
