TO The law

I WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator
Foster of Washington has received
vigorous objections from Puget Sound
shippers against what they think is an
arbitrary Treasury ruling requiring
manifests of goods shipped to Alaska
or Hawaii, as though they were foreign
ports. The shippers think this is an in
vasion of private business, and ask
Foster to secure a modification or can
collation. of the order AS a matter Of
fact, the Treasury is not responsible for
the new condition which is created by
a law recently passed and approved by
the President requiring vessels carry
ing cargoes to non-cOniguous territory
OF the United States, to furnish mani
tests This is for the purpose of gath
ering statistics of such commerce. The
bill was drawn up by O. p. Austin,
chief of the bureau of statistics, and
was introduced by Senator Frye and
Representative Kahn. So long as the
matter was optional with shippers they
refused to furnish the custom officials
with information. Now they must do
it. Chief Austin said there was no in
tention to pry into private business
and that such information would be
kept inviOlate. Under the new law it
will be possible to ascertain the extent
of the commerce between San Fran
cisco and Hawaii and Alaska-some-
thing largely guessed at heretofore.

When a stamp is placed on a letter
it represents one of sixty made for each
man, woman and child in the United
States. Enough stamps will be issued
this res to supply each individual in
the United States with at least sixty
stamps each. Distributed among the
population of the entire globe, they
supply each person with postage for
not less than three letters. Placed
side by side in a continuous line the
total issue would girdle the entire
earth three times. forming a variegat-
ed ribbon around 1t nearly three inches
in width. If spread out in, the same
n across the United States, the
stamps would form a paper sidewalk
from New York to San Francisco over
three feet wide. Pasted into a stamp
collectors book of the conventional
size. the issue for the year would half
fill 1000, 900 volumes, which placed one
upon another would form a solid coll
mi over twenty-five miles high. II
it is true, as Edward Everett Hale
says. that the United States postal sys-
tenn is the greatest of popular educa-
tors, these figures will serve to show
the extent of Uncle Sans present serv-

In Denmark many odd little stories
are told of King Christian and his
kindly ways, above all of the friendly
interest he takes in the doings OF his
subjects. Until within quite recent
days, when his strength has begun to
fail him, he used to spend much OF his
time in Copenhagen walking about the
streets; and nothing pleased him better
than to stop and have a chat with any
workman he CHANGED to encounter.
Whenever any Dane makes his mark
in the world, no matter what his sta
ton in life may be or what his views.
the king always sends for him. at the
first opportunity, hat he may know
what he Is like and have a talk with
him. Little wonder that he under
staads his people or that they und--
