 No other Government spends anything like that amount of money on public printing that Is squandered by Uncle Sam.

 Nowadays Government books, like other kinds of publications. require illustrations, and the cost of these ran up to about $3O0,OOo last year. It is safe to say that ten years from now Uncle Sans printing shop will spend pretty nearly half mill lion dollars for pictures.

Close the Gap.

Admirers of what Washington has be-
come as a capital city in the course Of it's
century of existence. despite many obsta-
cles. entertain the belief that with proper
degree of congressional liberalty and far
sightedness the American federal city will
soon rival the capitals of Europe in it's
Splendor and completeness of equipment.
They recognize the fact that there is much
ground to cover before Washington can ap-
proximate to the older glories of Paris for
example. They understand that the handi-
cap which several generations of neglect,
followed by few years of inadequate pro-
vision without plan or central purpose,
have placed upon Washington is too heavy
to be lightly disregarded in estimating the
future.
1t is this knowledge of the gap which
now stretches between the Washington of
the present and the ideal that Europe has
created in the American mind which today
presses for early action upon the park
commissions plans, to fix once and for all
the standard which this country is to es-
tablish and regard In it's future capital
making operations. Time is an important
factor. While Washington waits for the
magic touch Of a bountiful appropriation
wisely and energetically expended accord
ing to the newly planned scheme the Euro
pean capitals are not remaining at a stand
still. Paris, according to q recently re-
ceiyed report. is entering upon the expendi-
ture Of $4,000, 600 for the improvement Of
the capital. the Strengthening and widening
of boulevards the removal of obstructions
to the view. the erection of necessary new
public buildings and such other items of
municipal development. The money thus
spent will go much further in Paris than 1t
would here because the French capital has
already solid foundation and considerable
attractive superstructure which permit
speedy and economical developments. Much
of the foundation for Washington's perma
nent improvements remains to be laid. The
expenditure of $4,000. 600 would serve as an
effective guarantee Of good faith on the
part Of the government. 1t would give the
park commissions plans immediate sub
stance in large part and would permit a
closer and more satisfactory comparison
between Washington and the European
capitals

Rural Free Delivery.
From the Chicago Tribune.

The House post office committee has
unanimously adopted an amendment to the
postal appropriation bill to abolish the
rural free delivery carrier service as now
organized and to substitute for it the con-
tract system, letting the contract to the
lowest bidders. The argument Of economy,
which Is the only one advanced in favor OF
the change, has never been an important
consideration In the development and per-
fection OF the United States postal system.
The postal department, In fact, is not run
by the government as money making en-
terprise, although there is no dissent from
the proposition that 1t should be brought
to a self-sust aiming basis as rapidly as is
compatible with the highest efficiency. The
paramount aim. however, should be the
Improvement and extension Of the service
to meet the legitimate requirements OF the
people. The contract system In govern
mental service Is always prolific of jobbery
and fraud. 1t is easy to see that the let
ting Of contracts for delivery Of rural mails
In the hundreds OF routes that will be Great
ed might soon become constant breeder
OF scandals. When the government delivers
the mail itself and pays the carriers there
is practically no possibility of fraud.
