The English oarsmen are going to have
their own nice little races at Henley all to
themselves. They don't like to compete
with foreigners who employ professional
coaches. Conditions in England and the
United States are so different that where
as professional coaches are not needed
there we could have no rowing here with
out them. The English colleges are filled
with men who have been pulling oars all
their lives, whereas our collegians are al
most all new to the sport and must be
taught, if at all, by. men who can give
their whole time to the work.,

A Chance for Congress to Do Some.
thing Useful.

The short session is long enough to do
one easy and simple thing which will re-
dound greatly to the convenience and &C.
commodation Of the public. particularly
the people in rural communities. The
snort session can pass a bill providing for
a simpler form Of mail remittance of
money than the old and inconyenient
money order. In fact the money order is
not used to any such extent as it was ex-
pected it would be when it was inaugur-.
ated. 1t is said that in every 1000 money
orders only $50 of them are for sums of
IS or less, and it IS estimated that money
orders are used for only 10 per cent of the
transmission in small sums through the
mails. The people send money and take
their chances. Thousands Of letters, car
ry1ng small sums in silver and postage
stamps are, according to Postmaster Gen.
era1 Payne, transmitted every year
through the mails. This method of send
ing money is not only constant .tempta-
ton to those handling it, but the chances
Of loss are such as to deter a great many
people from using the mails as a means Of
transmitting money from one point to
another This has its effect upon bust
ress, which would be greatly conven-
fenced by the adoption, Of what is known
as the post check system, a plan which
makes it possible for the sender of money
to buy a, check at any postoffice or of any
rural carrier, whereas now the transmits
sion of money through postoffice facilities
requires the purchase Of the order at a
money order office. This requirement is
a. serious obstacle, to. large use of the
mails for such purposes as money orders
are not sold at a postoffices and many
transactions which might be carried on
through the mails are never contaminated
at all for lack of convenient methods
through which to do the work. The post
check, representing a small sum, prob
ably not over 81 in one check, may be
made payable by the purchaser to par
ticular Individual, and until it is signed
by that Individual the check cannot be
redeemed, and is. therefore of no value to
any one .else.. It. seems to be safe
method of transmitting money by mail
and the wonder is that congress does not
take this up and dispose Of it promptly
and in a business-like fashion. It has the
strong Endorsement of the postoffice de-
partment.

Connecticut is old enough to be tho
rougly civilized, but it is just beginning
to become aware Of the fact that the Aus
tralian ballot system is cheaper and less
susceptible to corrupt manipulation than
the antiquated ballot which most other
states discarded years ago. That there
should be any state without the Austria
lian system is an anomaly in these days.
It is an Indication either of the ascendency
of the corrupt elements or of disgraceful
want of Intelligence and progressiveness.
