Story on senator Plat.

During a recent session Of the sen
ate committee on finance the question
of abOlishing the revenue tax upon eX-
press money orders came up for dis
cussiOn. The senators were not ia
miliar with the express money order
business, and Senator Plat Of New
York, who, as most people know, is
president Of the United States Express
company, offered to enlighten them.
Accordingly, he excused himself for a
moment and went to a neighbOring
Office of his company, where he found
n young clerk of whom he demanded
an express order for the sum Of 5
cents. The boy was astOnished at the
smallness Of the amount.

The boy rushed into the private office

Say" he exclaimed, there's an old
gentleman outside who says he's the
president of the company. and he
wants an order for 8 cents I'm afraid
to give 1t to him for fear he'll raise It,"
The agent appeared, and Senator
Plat got his order, and in due time
the members Of the committee were
enlightened as to the express money
order business.

There are n large number Of house
keepers who have a horror Of anything
cheap and who OF two things precisely
the same would lnstlncuvely choose the
higher priced. Cheap and nasty" they
quote, and there, for them. ends the
matter. To be sure. some cheap foods
are nasty, and much food Is eaten by
the poor that is not only cheap and
nasty, but unwholesome. And much
food sold In the markets is sold too
cheaply-l. e., at price that cannot pay
the producers, whom II Is nobody's In
terest to starve The fact is that this
disagreement, like so many In the
world, depends upon the use Of the
same word by different people with a
different meaning. Cheap" by one
party Is taken TO mean merely low
priced. and II Is a truism to say that
low priced things are often not worth
buying even at their price, while
cheap" is by other persons taken to In
dictate the worth OF thing rather than
its price. So the meaning attached to
the epithet bcgs the whole question.
