GooD Morning.

On and after March next "The
Morning News" will be sold at retail for
one cent copy. delivered by carriers
for six cents "a week, and by mail for
tnre dollars year ir advance.
This reduction in pric" was decided
upon at meeting Of the board OF direc,
tors of the News Publishing Company
held last July. "'rhe Morning News
has been gaining readers steadily, and is
tolay the most profitable newspaper
property in the city.
The recent development in the news
service OF this paper-both local and tele-
xraphic-has been marked. We have
received the highest and most flattcrine
words of praise-especially during the
past week, when The Morning News
demonstrated its superior facilities for
gathering and printing the news OF the
day when it was fresh. We are fre-
quently just twenty-four hours ahead OF
any other morning paper circulating in
Wilmington ard in this territory.
'Thc Morning Ncws'' will continue to
consist OF six and eight pages, as the
emergency may demand, and there will
be no change whatever in the local Or
telegraphic serviccs-except for the bet
terment of both.
The proposed change will involve con
siderable financial loss to the publishing
company, but we are confident that, at
the reduced price per copy, the people Oh
Wilmington will respond literally, thus
making the loss only temporary. -'1he

hereafter n minors must be allowed 10
play the machines at any zine under The
severest penalty Of the law. This will
mean a great falling off in The receIp:s Of
these machines, as many people seldom
play them except on Sunday, and then it
is also claimed that a large percentage
Of those who invest their money in the
fcke-favoring machines are minors.
Whether these facts are true or not,
the police are instructed to enforce the
order and WIFI begin the coming Sunday.
This action was taken at the instance

SUIT TO Be BROUGHT
Against Express Companies
To Test Revenue Law
WHO SHALL PAY THE TAX
Suit Instituted By District At
tofney Lambert.
WHO SHALL PAY THE TAX

There has been great roar in Wichita
over the action Of express companies IL
making their customers pay the war tax
on packages shipped. A great many pee
pie who have shipped by the companies
heretofore are using other means and in
many cases paying more tna7 II would
take TO ship by the express companies.
One mercantile firm which largely pat
ronizes the express companies, rather
than submit to the arrangement planned
by the companies to collect the tax, IS
using the mails at a cost of from 10 20 Is
per cent greater than express charges,
including the revenue tax and all. The
matter is TO be tested now in theUnited
States courts to see whether congress
intended the express companies IT their
patrons should pay the tax.
United States District Attorney 1. E.
Lambert holds that the companies, n
charging customers the war tax of cent
on each package violate the new law, and
he will test the mater in the federal
court at Topeka. He says there is no
doubt that congress intended that the
companies should pay the lax. He has
drawn complaints against several express
agents and will file them as soon as he
can arrange with the internal revenue
collector to sign them. The names of The
agents Mr. Lambert IS after are not given.
but he admits that agents al Topeka and
Leavenworth are on the list and they
viii be prosecuted. Nothing could be
learned as to whether the Wichita agents
are to be included in the complaints but
it is not thought they will be, as the pros
ecution is to be instituted at Topeka. l.
will probably take some weeks to get the
matter through and determined in court
decision, but the matter VIII be pushed.
