THETRADlNG STAMP NUISANCE

There are now in operation in this
city three or four trading stamp
schemes. If the trading stamps were
restricted to half a dozen firms, there
by distinguishing and advertising them
as firms who had some special prizes
to give out, the scheme might have its
uses for those special firms; but as at
present conducted, the scheme results
merely in higher prices for goods in
this city or in an unwarranted burden
on all the merchants.
Trading stamps of all kinds are Civ
en- away. There is hardly any small
store that has not been driven into
line by the seductive representations
of the solicitors for some trading stamp
business.
Most of the business of Worcester is
a cash business anyhow, and this trad
ing stamp idea simply taxes that cash
business for percentage that must be
made up in some way. The customers
take the stamps and make the best
use of them possible, getting, perhaps,
something that they have no use for.
But the Trading Stamp Company wins
every time. They dispose of a lot of
unsaleable goods in this way and they
are bound to win in any event.
The merchants, in the meantime,
might have. been explaining their
wares to the public through the prop
er advertising channels. They might
have made their places of business bet
ter known to the people of the whole
city. The Trading Stamp Company ad-
vertises nothing but its own scheme.
How a store expects to grow upon a
scheme of this kind is more than we
can comprehend.
If a merchant has enterprise and a
varied stock, he has unlimited oppor-
tunites to attract customers to his
store by advertising his goods in his
store windows, in the newspapers and
in many other ways. He gets no more
benefit in the way of increased bust
ness out of trading stamp schemes than
he gets out of paying taxes to the city
of Worcester.
The writer recently heard a customer
in one of the big stores that gives away
trading stamps, ask to have the cash
value Of the stamps taken off of his
bill. This, of course, could not be
done and the man pointed out the in
Justice of the scheme to a good GUS
toner like himself who paid cash for
his goods and traded extensively at the
store. He was angry.
The volume of business is not in
creased. the buyers are not attracted
by novelties and bargains to buy goods
that as comforts and luxuries they
could do without as they are Influenced
by good advertising.

VOTING MACHINES SURE TO COME

Boston is to have voting machines.
The Boston Post, yesterday morning,
expressed great regret because the vot-
ing machine could not be put in opera
ton at the coming election. This is
the general feeling among public men
who are familiar with the modern vot-
ing machine. 1t is too bad that the
Anticipated old ballot boxes cannot be
replaced Immediately by the more ac-
curate and expeditions system of ma
chimes.
The introduction Of the voting ma
chine in Boston, which is now bound to
come, will forever settle in this state
the fate of the old system. The other
cities and large towns in the state will
follow as fast as possible in the wake
Of the metropolis. A successful work
ing of the machine in the city of Bos-
ton will take away all arguments now
used against the voting machines.
There may be considerable rivalry
over the various patterns. There are
at least three or more successful ma
chimes. but the principle of using a
counting machine in place of paper bal
lots to register votes has been estab-
lished beyond a doubt

STREET RAILWAYS FOR FREIGHT

Sooner OF later the efforts of the
street railway companies in Massachu-
sets to get the right of carrying
freight, baggage and express matter
will be successful
We see no difficulty in the way of
such a step that will not be outweighed
by great advantages. Opposition from
the steam railroads may be expected,
but in the long run the trolley roads
are going to prove the most efficient
feeders of the steam railroads and
will tend to increase, rather than de-
crease their freight business.
The ideal system of commerce in the
United States in the future, it seems
to US, is a great system of steam
railroads which connect by electric
roads with the farms and factories of
the nation. Such a system would
make available an enormous amount
of water power that is now unused. 1t
would save an enormous expense in
building roads suitable for hauling
heavy loads from farms to railroad de-
pots. 1t would save vast sums. A
trolley road that has a large invest
ment in tracks and cars can afford to
carry freight cheaply during the
hours when, at present. it is absolute
ly idle. Even in the daytime cars could
be run to advantage carrying express
packages and light freight.
If the American farmer were able to
get market prices for-his goods at his
own door, his future would be much
brighter The plan is admirable from
an economical standpoint. AS the
street railroads get the use of the pub
lie highways without expense of buy
ing land for their tracks, they can af-
ford to transport things more cheaply
than they otherwise could, just as they
are able to carry passengers much
greater distances for the same amount
of money than the steam railroads
seem to be able to do. The man who
pays the freight will thus get more
benefit from the public streets if
freight is carried at low rates on street
railways.

Following the announcement that
fresh litigation was about to be be-
gun over the will of the late Jacob S.
Rogers of Paterson, N. J., comes a
statement by Robert w. DeForest,
treasurer of the Metropolitan Museum
of Art, to the effect that compromise
has been made with Mr.. Rogers rela-
tives by which they are to receive
$250,000 in addition to the S25O,000 they
were granted by the terms of the will.
The trustees of the Museum thought it
best to pay this sum rather than in
cur the long delay before receiving the
legacy, that lawsuit would most GER
tainly cause. The Museum has appar-
entity acted wisely and very likely It
will receive more than it would should
it contend the claims of the relatives
and win. There is reason to believe
that there was some such contract
among the Rogers brothers as to the
disposal of the fortune as represented
by the contestants and for this rea-
son, too, the action Of the Museum
seems equitable though there is no
doubt that Mr.. Rogers did not con-
slider himself bound by any contract
when he made the will. AS it is, the
Museum will receive a vast endowment
which will place it in the foremost rank
of the art institutions of the United
States.

YALE UNIVERSITY ANNIVERSARY


Next week Yale University will have
the centre of the stage. The presence
of the chief magistrate of the nation,
the granting of a degree to Admiral
Sampson, and the exercises planned
for the week will draw popular atten-
ton in extraordinary degree to the
celebration of the two hundredth an
niversary of Yale.
Fifteen years ago Harvard celebrat-
ed its two hundred and fiftieth an
niversary President Cleveland graced
the occasion with his presence, and the
great university received a new impe-
tus of life and renewed expression
of confidence and pride from the peo-
pie of the United States. Yale with
her twelve thousand graduates ranks
among the first of the American uni
versities. There are only two colleges
older than Yale. In some respects
Yale stands first Certainly no col
lege has a finer spirit, no alumni have
a greater enthusiasm for their college
than the Yale men.
1t can be safely predicted that this
Yale celebration will be more inter-
esting and more enthusiastic than any
previous event of the kind.

Fitchburg, and elsewhere in the state,

Medford rum, if tradition and rumor

The objection being made to the be-
stowal of a degree upon Rear-Admiral
Sampson by Yale University cannot be
made on the ground of unfitness. An
officer who has been superintendent of
the United States Naval Academy for
four years-one of the best profession
al schools in the worldwide has been
chief of ordnance in the United States
navy and is recognized as one of the
leading experts on naval ordnance in
the United States, who was chairman
of the commission that investigated the
explosion of the Maine, and who was
commander in chief Of all the United
States naval forces in the Atlantic
ocean during the war with Spain-such
a man may fifty wear and academic
honors which Yale may grant to him.
Harvard has already honored Rear
Admiral Sampson. The universities
may well recognize the work of his
life time.-Spripgfield Republican.

THE LEGISLATURE IN EXTRA
SESSION

The Legislature will reconvene next
month to hear the report of the re-
cess committee, which has been la
boring since the adjournment of the
Legislature in revising the Massachu-
sets statutes. The committee finished
its work this week and it has been a
long and difficult task.
Senator Manning of this city has
been an active and influential member
of this committee.
An attempt has been made to modify
the law without making material
changes, and the Legislature will
probably approve of the work of the
committee without change, unless
more errors can be found.
The Boston Advertiser fears that
more time should have been taken in
order to avoid danger of mistakes. But
until mistakes are discovered, it may
be safely assumed that the work of
the committee has been done properly
and completely.
