Postage on Manuscripts.
From the Providence Journal

From the Providence Journal.
The postal laws Of the United States are
in the main liberal enough; but it would be
strange if they were not open to improve
ment. Indeed, since the service is under
government control and is not primarily a
commercial enterprise, the Post Office De-
partment may very properly be expected
to make concessions that would not be
asked of private capital. While some of
the demands made upon it's resources-as,
for example, the carriage Of cheap books
as second-class WATERWAY be of doubtful
utility, others are worth favorable consider
alton; and when the Society of American
Authors asks for the carriage of authors
manuscripts at the rate of two ounces for
one cent it has the practice of other coun-
tries as a precedent. In fact, since the
United States belongs to the Postal Union,
manuscript may be sent from an Ameri-
can to foreign post office at lower rate
than is charged between American post
offices. This is an inequality which the
society thinks should be remedied: and it
therefore proposes to urge upon the next
Congress an amendment to the law giving
American authors the benefit of the low

Delaware's Maintaining.

The old belief in the efficacy of fighting
the devil with fire. has. passed somewhat
with the growth of civilized institutions.
The best principle of the law today is far
removed from the ancient demand of IAN
eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth"
Crime is no corrector of crime even though
1t may be held as righteous in the eye OF
the law to take the life of human being
who has himself taken human life.
But this law which justifes the orderly
Staying of slayers establishes certain safe
guards against mob murder. Lynching IS
no less murder than is the crime which
has Infatuated the crowd. Delaware's man
burners are at heart no better citizens than
was the wretch whose trembling form they
wrenched from the hands of the law and
whom they killed with awful tortures.
Man-burning is an atrocity, an outrage
against the community, bid for disorder
and crime, a complete subversion of the
law. 1t is not in principle "a graver offerse
than the mere hanging of criminal by ths
mob. 1t differs only in the degree of fiend
ishness displayed by the crowd of Grim
inals.
Delaware is small community and /:
should be we'll organized. Its powers foi
the preservation of the peace, however
have lamentably failed in this instance
The negro criminal was removed from tie
county Jail to the work-house because OF
the supposedly superior qualities of the
latter as a place of detention. But nothing
prevented the access of the mob to the cei
where the wretch was confined. The
guards within the place fired upon the
crowd but did not drive 1t back.
If the little state does not exhaust It's
resources in q search for and the punish
ment of the men who committed this horror
near Wilmington 1t will rest under ac-
acknowledgement that within its borders any
hastily organized crowd of excited, ire
sponsible men is superior TO all the reg
ulariy written laws of the commonwealth
1t will have surrendered its authority to
the mob.

Dimensions of the Gun Yachts.

1t is announced that official measure
ments of the Reliance-not those which will
govern in the cup races. but those to deter
mine her status with other defenders-give
her such a great spread of sail and such
dimensions that she will probably score the
largest aggregate figure of any of the de-
tenders ever built. In consequence she
gives a time allowance of minutes 81 3-5
seconds to Columbia on thirtyknot
course. and to Constitution minutes 10 As
seconds. This latter allowance plays an
important part in the computations as to
the superiority of Reliance over Constitu-
ton. Her victories over Columbia have
been so pronounced that 1t is practically
impossible that the old defender could hold
her own with the new boat even with the
time allowance. But Reliance and Consti-
tuition have been fairly evenly matched in
most of the races thus far sailed, although
Reliance has crossed the line in a shorter
elapsed time in each instance. In one
race. that of May 20. on the sound. she
won by actual time count by Is seconds

Shamrock III exceeds the sail area Of eithef

at hand as yet to acertain how she approx

ma tural butter at the price of the latter. is
Nthat oleomargarine is not made according
to specified recipe. 1t is a composition
the components of which may vary from
one factory to another. When the subject
was under discussion in the House of Rep-
resentatives a marked variety of evidence
as to the composition of oleomargarine was
adduced by one side and the other. 1t fur
thermore appeared that the oleomargarine
makers did not agree among themselves as
to the proportions and even as to the actual
ingredients. The truth was that the whole
effort was to make something out of mis-
cellaneous materials. by mechanical proc
ess, which would resemble butter and could
be marketed alongside of it at a greater
profit.
If this Boston decision should stand as
the final Interpretation of the law 1t would
be permissible for the oleomargar1ne
makers to go into court and by declaring
that natural result of the mixing of their
necessary ingredients was a yellow product
avoid the higher tax on 'colored' cleo.
This should not be so allowed to confuse
the issue of the case. which rests solely
upon the denial of their right to produce
and sell as butter an imitation which costs
very much less and can be profitably mar
keted for a much lower price than butter.
The law grants them no specific permission
to produce an article which resembles but
ter in taste. 1t does forbid them to produce
a commodity which looks like butter. 1t
matters not that butter is often as white as
what the law designated as ''uncolored'
cleomargarine, nor that the law has not
definitely granted to butter makers the
right to the exclusive use of yellow in their
product Custom has decreed that butter
shall be yellow. and custom has in such
cases the force of law. If the Oleo makers
want to make yellow oleo they can do so,
but they should pay the higher revenue tax
on It, 1t is a. matter of knowledge that the
coloring matter employed does not change
it's quality and therefore any addition of
such material is against the spirit and the
letter of the statute. the strained ruling of
the judge at Boston apparently to the con-
trary Notwithstanding.
If there were any way of permanently
stamping oleomargarine as an imitation OF
butter there would be necessity for writ
ing a discriminating clause into the stat
utes debating the method Of manufacture.
If this new statute cannot be enforced to
the end for which it was written there is
little hope that the government can put
forth its hand to save the public from a
gross imposition.

Oleo and Butter.

A judge In Boston was recently called
upon for a decision with regard to the
relation in the law between yellow butter
and yellow oleomargarine. The statue
now declares that oleomargarine shall be
free from any coloration or ingredient
which causes it to look like butter" 1t Is
q familiar fact that the purpose of this
statue Is to prevent the manufacture of
imitation butter in a manner to enable the
makers and purveyors of it to palm it OFF
upon the public in the name of dairy butter
and at the price commanded by the latter
Accordingly the law specified two grades
Of cleo. that which is colored. which is 10

that which is uncolored. or approximately
white. which is to pay tax of only frac-
ton of a cent a pound. The Boston judge
construed the language of the statute as
meaning to forbid. in the manufacture of
the low-taxed oleomargarine. the use Of
"any extraneous substance or ingredi ant
which causes 1t to look like butter" That

Street Dangers.

Yesterdays shocking street accident in
which a child was decaptated by a ear
gives special force to the suggestion of
certain citizens that Fairgrounds be pro-
yided at once for the little folks so that
they may be cured OF the dangerous habit
of running in the thoroughfares. 1t appears
clearly from the statements of witnesses
that the motorman was in no degree to
blame. The child apparently darted across
the path of the car and stumbled. falling
directly beneath the wheels. Doubtless the
familiarity of city children with these
rapidly moving machines renders them in
different to their power. They skip back
and forth across the tracks with the cars
only a few yards away with no thought of
the peril involved A misstep. moment of
hesitation. a slight miscalculation. and they
are struck and usually are killed.
On no line In Washington do the cars run
so close together that there is the slightest
necessity or excuse for the youngsters to
hasten to cross in front of one rapidly APP
preaching. A moments waiting and all
possibility of danger is past. But the chill
dren at play in the street do not think of
the peril and refuse to adjust their games
or movements to the schedule of the cars.
One game much in vogue particularly is
prisoners base" in which opposing sides
line up on the curbs and try by making
rapid dashes to capture the enemy. Nat
urally the erratc movements Of the young
sters prevent any calculation on the part
Of the motormen, unless they bring their
cars to a crawling pace. Boys playing ball
in the streets are accustomed to dart about
in all directions until the drivers and car
Ean in or ta of nyfp
There are many streets without car lines
on which the children can play with more
safety than alongside the tracks. but even
there they are constantly in danger to some
degree. In fact, the street is not a proper
place for game playing. and with all the
vacant space available in this city it is in
excusable that children should be permitted
beyond the curbs to the extent that
prevails The playground movement has &C
CURED a gratifying Roadway. and 1t is to be
hoped that when the spaces are ready for
use the parents of Washington will seek to
train their children to keep on the safe side
of the curb and to carry their sports and
plays to these places.
Parental lectures on the dangers of street
cars are also in order at all times. The
child who was recently killed while trying
to board a moving car on Connecticut ave-
nue. failed to understand the peril involved,
else he would probably have been content
to wait for the next car. 1t is extremely
dangerous for adults to get on or off NOV
ing cars, and they should set a good ex-
ample to their juniors by always waiting
for the car to stop and by entering and
leaving the car by the proper side, which is
the outside of the tracks. 1t is to be feared
that to the recklessness which grown-ups
display in their use of the streets is to a
large extent due the dangerous folly of the
little folks

A Boom in Discoveries,

There is a boom in discoveries. "Revolu
tons in science are coming so fast that it
makes one dizzy to watch them go round.
In a single day the telegraph announces
that the old theory of matter must be dis
Carded; that Il new gas has been found in
the stumps of fir trees; and that great
force called radio-activity has been dis
covered in water.
The news of the first of these wonder
findings comes from London, where it is
said the worlds foremost searchers after
the ultimate secrets of the universe have
at length committed themselves to a stu
pendous theory which has for some time
been foreshadowed and has now apparently
been substantiated by the study of the new
substance called radium." Because of this
the world is called on to discard the theory
that atoms of elements consist of indivis-
ible units of matter" The world is asked
to embrace the theory that each atom lis
a stellar system of infinitely smaller but
absolutely identical units, all in orbital
notion" 1t is said that an atom of hy-
drogen consists of 100 such units or ions,
and that the identity of a substance de-
ponds upon the number of ions in an atom.
According to the anti-atomic, or "novo-
ionic hypothesis. if 137 200 ions were com
bined in one atom the resulting substance
would be gold.
The news of the fir-stump marvel comes
from Minnesota. 1t is said that Professor
George P. Frankforter. dean of the school
of chemistry of the University of Mime
sofa. will lay before the American Chemical
Society at Cleveland on June % his dis

can compete with coal gas; and of a pro-
cess by which new turpentne can be pro-
duced from material formerly thought

The announcement of the water miracle
comes from New Haven. where it Is said
that two of the younger professors in

periments found indications that nature
has stored a powerful force in water

recently suspected by the most eminent
scientists" This force" is called radio

Elevated Roads as Noisemakers.

Frm the Chicago News.
Those city officials who have suggested
the possibility of doing something to lessen
the roar and CHATTER of the elevated rail-
ways will confer favor upon the public if
they carry on their researches until some
effective measure of relief is discovered
The din and rattle of the elevated trains
in downtown Chicago is loud and continu-
Gus. In Berlin the tracks of the elevated
lines are imbedded in concrete. with the
result that the vibration and jar of pass-
ing trains are reduced to the minimum
Competent engineers familiar with track
construction are of the opinion that the
Berlin system, or some system having it's
advantages. could be adopted here with
out entailing any extravagant expense
If German engineering skill can sur
mount this difficulty, certainly the engin-
GERS Of America should be able to do so.
The only serious objection thus far ad-
vanced is that a solid concrete roadbed
would have the effect of still further dark
ening the city streets. 1t is too soon.
