To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: Your
correspondent is undoubtedly correct in saying
that it is a mistake to teach stenography to
every youngster in public schools. but on the
other hand we find that in Germany the most
beneficial results have been achieved from the
introduction OF the Gabelsberger system into
the high class schools, while a similar attempt
with several other systems has ignominiously
failed. It. IL simply Il question ~ system and
nothing else.
We require in this country a simple. common
sense system. instead Of the present conglom-
Grafton Of guerrilla p%othooks. and that question
has been solved by the introduction of graphic
SHORTHAND, y which is an ingenious adaptation
OF GahclShergerS German principles to the
English language. FRANK F~REsHFIELD.

$4,000, 600 or UNPROTECTED CASH.
A Great Opportunity Presented to Burglars
by the Texas Treasury.


AUSTIN. Tex. May 5.-There is more than
100000 in currency and gold and silver
coin in the vaults Of the treasury Of Texas. or
this sum more than 81. 100000 is in bills OF
large denomination. A committee appointed
by the present Legislature to investigate this
department recently recommended AN APP
preparation OF $1,000 to equip the treasury
with an electric burglar alarm system. 1t is
said by members OF the committee that the
department Is absolutely without police pro-
lection. and that it would be a comparatively
easy matter for a band Of robbers to loot the
vaults OF all the cash at almost any hour Of tho
day. During the working hours Of the depart
ment thousands of dollars o: cash are piled up
on the desks and counters and the vault doors
are wide open. revealing great stacks Of cur
rencv and bags Of silver and gold. The facts
as here stated were presented to the Legisla-
down. the country members opposing it on the
ground u economy.
The Texas State Treasury had a narrow
escape from being robbed by q band of outlaws
about twenty years ago. The bandits were
Bass. They had been holding up stages in the
central and northern part of the State aud
finally decided to make an attack on the State
Treasury. Al, that time the Treasury Depart

posed attack on the State Treasury.

thing lisa Trust that IL is lawful in Missouri

to cheat 1t.
1t Is held by some that this Missouri de-
cision Is a hard blow at the Trusts In that
State and elsewhere, for other Legislatures
may be expected to initiate the wisdom Of
Missouri. 1t is assumed that Trusts will
have to restrict their credits, and thus will
be at n disadvantage. But can they sell
cheaper than their competitors? II they
can, the cream OF the trade will he theirs.
1t Is not possible that there il any great
number OF dealers who want to cheat n
Trust. The men who would do that will
usually be the men whose credit is bad any
way. Commercial reasons and not statutes
or the decisions OF courts will decide the
fate Of Trusts and OF each individual Trust.

RUSH TO BUY STAMPS.
Philatelists Among Uncle Sans Best Gus
toners Just Now.

There are more than 300 sets of the obsolete
newspaper and periodical stamps still unsold
at the Post Office. These are the remnants OF
5O.OOO sets offered the rhilatelists Of the coun-
try at So n set. The first allotment sent to the
Post Office was disposed of in two days.
Cashier Moran taking in $4,000 the first day.
Persons eager to buy blocked the Post Office
corridors and waited in line three hours to get
near the window from which the stamps were
sold. Directly after the sale dealers were ask
ing 81 u set for the stamps. and many foreign
stamp dealers and collectors who wrote to Mr..
Moran for sets could not be accommodated.
Unfortunately. no record of the names and
addresses OF these foreigners was kept, and
many who would be glad to purchase do not
know that a part of Boston's allotment has
been sent hero to be disposed Of.
SO far as the Post Once. authorities know.
the 800 sets unsoid are all that are still nc
cessible to the public at the So price. The
Government has received a clear. profit OF
nrarly S25O.OOO on its little speculation.

the public interest in it. The antitrust plank
