We still believe that "honesty is
the best policy" but II is a slow
way to get rich. II is much like
the old say about ''being good
and you'll be lonesome;" being
honest Is most commendable, but
its a sort of lonesome business.

The Sultan Of Turkey invited

Church Etiquette.

A lack OF reverence IL often obser-
vable IN the conduct of people IN the
house OF God. Loud conversation
before aud after service, aud some
times whispering even during the
time public worship is INDUCED in,
This is accounted for Ia measure by
the fact that the church is often used
for other purposes than those OF wor.
ship, aud when children have beeu al
lowed to romp aud play IN a place
they tinb Il hard TO realize the speci-
nj slcrednees of any exercise in that
place. In most cases. however, the
lack is more on the part of the adults
than the children. II parents whis-
per in public worship aud sit upright
with open eyes in PRAYER time. the
children will be apt to learn the les
sou OF irrevercnce quickly. We may
well initiate the conduct OF the de-
vout Catholics IN their house of wor-
shin. coupling with their outward
forms the inner spirit OF reverence,
remembering that we are in the house
sacred to the worship of God, aud
that we owe to the Divine One prop
er ATTITUDE OF body aud soul. "The
Lord is "a his holy temple; let all the
earth keep silence before him"

Objection to the scheme of the Eco
nOmic Postal Annexation.

Objection to the Scheme of the Eco
nOmic Postal Association.
Postmaster General Emory Smith has
written letter to the chairman Of the
House post office committee, In which he
condemns bill submitted for his opinion
which contemDlates legislation to carry into
effect the purposes Of the Economic Postal
Association. 1t is proposed by the bill to
give the association an exclusive right to
manufacture coupon return envelopes by
means Of which merchants connected with
the organization can pay postage on replies
sent them by prospective patrons. The
Postmaster General gives many practical
objections to the administrative features Of
the proposed legislation. and says:
But serious as would be the embarrass-
ments Of administration under this meas
ure, the gravest objection ia one of princi-
pie. The proposition to turn over a part
of the postal service to a private corpora
ton and monopoly is utterly repugnant to
the whole theory of the postal establish
ment-'
Attention Is called to the fact that the
Post Office Department has transmitted to
Congress bill designed to meet the re-
quirements by providing for the transmits
sion of such matter through the mail with
out prepayment of postage,Gthe postage to
be collected from the addressee as postage
due is now collected under present condi-
tons.
