The effect OF the latest interurban

place the success or failure OF the en-

who are to receive directly benefits

these expenditures was total appropria-
ton of So, 956, $685. for the continuation
and extension of the rural free-delivery
service, which was an increase of S4,9O2,-
30 over the amount expended for this
purpose in the preceding fiscal year Large
as this expenditure has been the benehcent
tribution of mails to the residents of rural
districts have justified the wisdom of the
outlay. Statistics brought down to the list
Of October, 1904 show that on that date
there We're 27, 1873 rural routes established,
serving approximately 100000 of people
in rural districts remote from postoffces,
and that there were pending at that time
$3.50 petitions for the establishment of new
rural routes Unquestionably some part
of the general increase in receipts is due to
the increased postal facilities which the
rural service has afforded. The revenues
have also been aided greatly by amend
ments in the classification of mail matter,
and the curtailment of abuses of the sec
ond-class mailing privilege.
A National Quarantine Law.
1t is desirable to enact proper National
quarantine law. It is most undesirable that
a State should on its own initiative enforce
quarantine regulations which are in effect
a restriction upon interstate and interna-
tional commerce. The question should prop
erly be assumed by the government alone.
The Currency Question.
The attention of the Congress should be
especially given to the currency question,
matter in the two Houses charged with
the duty, take up the matter of our cur
rency and see whether it is not possible
to secure an agreement in the business
world for lettering the system; the com
mittees should consider the question of the
retirement of the greenbacks and the prob
lem of securing in our currency such elias
ITCHY as is consistent with safety Every
silver dollar should be made by law redeem
able in gold at the option of the holder.
Oriental Markets.
The Importance of securing proper in
formation and data with view to the en-
largement of our trade with Asia is undi-
minished. Our consular representatives in
China have strongly urged place for per-
manent display of American products in
some prominent trade center of that en-
pire, under government control and man.
agement, as an effective means of advanc-
ing our export trade therein. 1 call the
attention of the Congress to the desira-
bility of carrying out these suggestions.
Immigration and Naturalization.
In dealing with the questions of immi-
grafton and naturalization it is indispensa-

laws. First and foremost let us remem-
Der that the question of being a good Amer
lean has nothing whatever to do with
mans birthplace any more than it has to
do with his creed. In every generation
from the time this government was found
ed men of foreign birth have stood in the
very foremost rank of good citizenship,
and that not merely in one but in every
neld OF American activity. There is no
danger of having too many immicrants of
the right kind; But the citizenship of this
country should not be debased 1t is vital
that we should keep high the standard of
Well-Delng among our Wage-workers and
therefore we should not admit masses of
men whose standards of living and whose
personal customs and habits are such that
they tend to lower the level of the Ameri
can Wage-wOrker; and above all we sb0uld
not admit any man of an unworthy type,
any man concerning whom we can saw RI
he will himself be a bad citizen. or that
MS children and grandchildren will detract
from instead of adding to the sum of the
good citizenship of the country. Similar
ly we should take the greatest care about
GENERALIZATION fraudulent naturalization
the naturalization of improper persons, is
a curse to our government: and if is the
adialr OF every honest voter, wherever born,
TO see that no fraudulent voting is allow
ed, that no fraud in connection with nat
urallZatlon is permitted. Not ONLY arc the
laws relating to naturalization now defec

the subject of scientific inquiry with view
to probable further legislation.
The Territory of Alaska.
Alaska, like all our Territorial. acouisi
lions, has proved resourceful beyond the
expectations of those who made the pur-
chase 1t has become the home of MANY
hardy, Industrious, and thrifty American
citizens. Towns of a permanent Character
nave been built. The extent of its wealth
In minerals, timber, fisheries and agricul-
ture, while great, is probably not compre-
nended yet in any just measure by our
people. We do know, however, that from
very small beginning its products have
grown until they are a steady and material
contribution to the wealth of the nation.
owing to the immensely OF Alaska and its
location in the far north it is a dificuIt
matter i1s to provide many things essential to
fort of its people by private enterprise
alone. 1t should, therefore, receive rea-
sonable aid from the government. The
government has already done excellent
work for Alaska in laying cables and build
ing telegraph lines. The Alaskan natives
should be given the right. to acquire, hold.
and dispose of property upon the same
conditions as given other inhabitants: and
the privilege Of citizenship should be given

THE EVOLUTION Of
W0MAN'S FORM

Within the last 40 years the outline
of woman's form has changed exactly
six times.
In the middle Of eos there was the
waspish waist, with which we are again
threatened. Second, there was the
short-waisted woman, with the waist
line pushed up toward the armpits.
Then came, in the sos, the long waist
with the waist threatening to push off
the hips. Then followed the extreme
" tight waist, with the bulge above
and below, which WAS known as the
"hour glass figure. The fifth, we re-
member, was the straight-front wide
WASTED fashion, and now comes the
"Grecian bend"
This new position bends the body
forward from the hips, knees are stiff
fened and the backbone is straight.
When well done, the pose is not un.
graceful and not ungainly, but adopted
by many whose desire is to ape the
favorites of fashion, it is ludicrous-
amounting almost to deformity. The
chin gives one the impression that no
matter what becomes of the rest of
the body, it will be there on time.
This position of the body seems to
demand the belt to complete its i'm
preston of slenderness and tipforward-
ness. AS matter of fact, there are
now more than 300 styles of belts on
the market. The staple belt is of soft
fabrics, the kid belt has recently ap-
peared. The canvas belt will be popu-
lar for outing suits.
1t is feared that with this atten-
ton to the trimmings of the waist the
tight lacing will become a fad. Though
it is to be hoped that within the past
40 years the woman's sense OF what
is healthful has made as marked a
change as has the outline of her figure.
