The Douglas Shoe.

Tho Denver Post says: The best adver-
tised and consequently the best known shoe
in tie world to-day is undoubtedly made by
the W. l. Douglas Shoe Co.. of Brockton.
Mass. The one idea of this company has
always been to sell shoe for $3.50 which
equals in every way the s5 shoes Of any
other concern. They are able to do this
profit. as the goods are sold direct from the
factory to the wearer. In so of the principal
cities OF the country they have their own
retail stores. The goods are made IN all
sizes and widths. and few shoes equal them
for Btyle and durability.
The factory at Brockton employs over

the best average wages of any shoe workers

pany makes shoes for men only, and 1t IS
their proud boast that over one million men
wear them.

Recommendation.
It Is my belief that the amount paid as
indemnity in the case OF lost registered
first-class domestic mall could be raised to
the full value not exceeding 500, with
great benefit to the public and profit to the
postal revenues, even at the present fee OF
cents on each letter. in addition to the legal
postage I believe that an indemnity fund
not exceeding $25, 900 " ould be sufficient for
this purpose, and that hundreds OF thou
sands Of letters which now pass in the or
binary mails. many of which are insured by
private corporations, would be gathered into
the registered mails.
II the government be not willing to insure
q registered letter for its full value, the
public argues, 1t must be because it dis
trusts in q measure the security of the
registry system. and yet 1t sends its own
money to the extent Of billions of dollars
In the registered mails with no greater
protection than Is given the registered
malls Of the public: and the insurance COM
panies themselves rely upon the very Sc
curity which they decry to protect them
selves from loss ON their policies.
