Concerning OverwOrk,

great merchant of this city was recently
talking to some young men about dissipation
and business
81 knew a once" he said. who was
broken down mentally and physically and he
took great comfort in telling that it all due
to overwork and not dissipation. Well. that may
have been credit to him. but, 1 tell you, no
one has ever been seriously injured by work
properly done. 1t is hard work and worry COM
bined or bad work wrongly done that has caused
the trouble.
''Of course, there may be such thing as too
hard work-too constant application without
recreation. But you will find that this is gener-
ally due TO a lack of system. Some of those who
accomplish the greatest tasks have the
least to do. The reason is that they work a
system. The day is not begun with glance OF
despair at the array of work Each hour has
its task and each task is finished before another
is taken up. The inability to concentrate the
mind on the work of the moment causes worry
and loss of time.
Then must neglect exercise in the
open air, and every one must cultivate spare
eating. System completeness, in eating
and exercise. These the four things that
make hard work easy.'-Philadelphia Press.

peril so much talked about The incident
could not have occurred at a more un-
fortunate time.
From an American point of view it is
greatly to be regretted that ignorant, mar
row-minded and prejudiced officials should
be permitted to place the government in
the position of insulting intelligent for
eigners. The exclusion law it stands is
sufficiently humiliating to the Chinese but
that il should be misconstrued and made
an instrument of persecution, as has been
done by the customhouse officials at San
Francisco, is little less than an outrage.
The least the government do is to
press its regret for the occurrence. repri-
mand the offending officials and assure the
Chinese minister that care will be taken 10
prevent a repetition of the incident. Even
then we will be fortunate if it does not
cause serious embarrassment in our rela-
tons with China

A JUST DECISION.

The decision of the Supreme Court hold
ing that novels and stories published at
regular intervals are not entitled to be cir
culated in the mails at second-cIass matter
rates settles a long controversy and will
cause large increase in the postal reve-
nues.
The law fixing rates of postage defines
four classes of matter with different rates
of postage. Second-class matter includes
newspapers and periodicals. A newspaper is
defined as "a publication issued at stated
intervals of not longer than one week for
the dissemination of current news, whether
it be of general or special character and
with other characteristics prescribed by
law. A periodical is a publication issued at
stated intervals as frequently four
times a year. and possessing certain other
requisites required by law. Third-class mat
ter includes books. circulars. pamphlets
and other printed matter not included in
second class. The postage on second-class
matter is l cent a pound or fraction there
of, and that on third-class matter is l
cent for each two ounces or fractional part
thereof
In order to get the benefit of / cent a
pound rates publishers of paper-covered
novels and stories adopted the ruse of is
suing them in monthly numbers and en-
tering them as periodicals. Saving the diff
ference between. the third-class rate of
cent for every two ounces and the second
70 nj a wa a Or
thing for the publishers, and very costly TO
the government. In spite of the efforts of
the Postoffce Department to stop it the
practice has been going on for more than
twenty years. Under it the mails have been
weighted down year after year with trashy
novels and blood and-thunder stories pub
lisbed monthly and circulated at period
ical'' rates. This has cost the government
millions and millions of dollars and been
the means of circulating a vast amount of
worthless. even vicious, literature at news
paper rates.
AS Congress, influenced by the publish
ers' lobby. refused to stop the abuse, the
postmaster general issued an order con-
STRUNG the law against the so-called pc
riodicals," and now the Supreme Court has
sustained his construction. The argument
of the court is unanswerable and con-
elusive. 1t shows clearly what every per-
son of common sense must see, that novels
and stories published at stated intervals
are not periodicals within the meaning of
the postal laws and not entitled to the same
rates as newspapers, magazines and other
class and trade publications recognized by
everybody as periodicals. The decision will
break up a long-standing abuse, and by
compelling the publishers of these mis-
called periodicals" to pay third-class rates
will add largely to the postal revenues.

Senator Was Sorry he spoke.

Several days ago Senator Nelson went over TO
Baltimore where he addressed large gather
ing of merchants and business men at a ban
quet. In the course of his remarks he alluded
to visit he made 10 Baltimore long time
ago He told how he marched through the city
as a private in the Fourth Wisconsin volun-
teers, and of his subsequent warlike opera
tions in other parts of the State, including the
capture Of horse down on the eastern shore
Regarding this latter achievement the doughty
Minnesota senator spoke playfully, but in con-
siderable detail His account pleased the COM
pany around the tables immensely and, incl
dentally, it pleased the senator that he should
be such an entertaining post-prandial orator.
Now he is not without regrets for his playful
speech, for yesterday he received a letter from
a resident on the eastern shore. demanding, in
very serious manner. full payment for that
horse. This eastern shore writes that he
was not present at the banquet tables. but stood
in an adjoining corridor and heard what the
senator said. The letter gives additional in
formation so that Mr.. Nelson has doubts

BREWERY TRUST" MUST
TELL STORY IN COURT
Frank Fahrig, of Chicago, Wins
Point After Four Years
Effort.
CONSPIRACY is ALLEGED

CHICAGO. April I2-After four years ef-
fort Frank Fahrig, of Chicago, has won
from the Appellate Court decision that
the story of the alleged brewery trust in
Chicago and Milwaukee must be told in
court. Judge Baker. two years ago. dis
missed Fahrig's bill against the Mil
waukee and Chicago Breweries Com
pany, Ltd. of London. i'm which Fahrig
charged that s2.5oO.ooo was fraudulently
spent in controlling the brewing business
of Milwaukee and Chicago. The Appellate
Court holds that. although the English COM
pany was not properly served with sum-
mons in the case, its alleged American fell
low, the United States Brewing Company.
dolph Brand, president of the American
company, and George w. Kellner and Fred
erick 5. Winston. directors, must also an
swer Fahrig's suit.
The Appellate Court declares that the
stock of the American company, although
held by the English company. il held only
in trust for Fahrig and others and that the
courts have jurisdiction because of having
jurisdiction over the company's properties.
Fahrig, who says he invested In shares OF
the English company and then found that
he was denied access to the books OF the
breweries operating under the companys
control started suit for an accounting. He
declared the organization of the English
conspiracy the officers of the United States
company had diverted the company's funds

BALFOUR STEALS MARCH
ON THE OPPOSITION
British Premier Tells of the Thib-
etan Affair Before Questions
Are Asked.
COAL AND GRAIN DUTIES

LONDON, April 1.-THE House of Com
mons reassembled to-day after the Easter
recess. In anticipation of the opposition
moving an adjournment in order to call
attention to the bloodshed in Thibet an ur-
gent whip was sent out by the government
Premier Balfour, however, headed off the
opposition action by himself referring to
the matter He said that since the recess
began there had been an action in Thibet
which had made it necessary in accordance
ton the employment of Indian troops be-
yond the frontier. The premier thought
there should be no delay in the discussion
and therefore he would introduce reso-
luton to this effect tomorrow.
The proceedings were not interesting. The
chief interest centered in the forthcoming
licensing bill, to be introduced by Mr.. Bal
four, which promises to be highly cOnten-
tious and the budget, TO be introduced by
Chancellor of the Exchequer Chamberlain
April 10. The government supporters make
no secret of the fact that they anticipate
serious difficulties in carrying the budget
The combined efforts of the coal owners,
exporters, ship owners and miners have
failed to induce Austen Chamberlain. the
chancellor of the exchequer, to repeal the
coal duty. An important deputation rep
resenting all the above interests laid the
case before the chancellor to-day and
pleaded that the duty was disastrous TO
every industry connected with the coal
trade and enabled their German and other
rivals to displace British coal Mr.. Cham
berlain, in reply, lengthily compared the
arguments of the petitioners with the facts
in his possession and concluded by
denying that there was any reason for the
abolition of the duty. He said the fact
that the exports for the past year were the
largest on record disproved the gloomy
forebodings of the deputation.
The government, according to the Evening
News, has decided to reimpose the grain
duties abandoned by the former chancellor
of the exchequer. Mr. Richie. The paper
added that the former arrangement of
cents per hundredweight on imported grain
and 10 cents on flour will be revived in its
entirety as during the regime of former
Chancellor of the EXchequer Sir Michael
Hicks Beach. The announcement that the
grain duties will be remposed found little
credence among the members of the
House of Commons, who anticipate that
the chancellor of the exchequer will make
up the deficit largely from an increase in
the income tax.
