ters for Act III:
LONE SHAW, Secretary.

Henry Ashnrst of Williams has again been heard from. This time he is writing from the University of Michigan to friends in Arizona and speaking for the eastern de- mocracy. Ashurst says the east is for Hearst. and Charley Shannon is, too, for he saw Shannon some where east of the Mississippi, and Shannon told him so, all of which sounds like another Ashurst fairy tale, since Shannon is great. per sonal and political friend of Marcus A Smith, and the ex-delegate- is fighting Hearst for all he is worth Tucson Post.

The firemen on the 915 class O

The fremen on the 915 class of coal burners are making a strenn- ous kick. They say that it requires the shoveling of 9 or 26 tons of coal to keep them going over q, division, and this, they clains is too much for one man to do, on the ground that it is more than one man can shovel and live long to do it in period of eight hours up against a redhot fire box. Many of them are quitting, and those who have remained in the service have asked for help. The matter is now under consideration.-Albuquerqu Journal.

SECOND GLASS MATTER
Postoffice Department Sustained
 by Supreme Court

The supreme court of the United States has rendered valuable ser vice to the postal department in its recent decision that second class matter transmissible through the mails, means legitimate newspapers and magazines. and in excluding illegitimate special publications from the privileges hitherto de- manded by them, and, unfortu- nately, accorded to them. The act of congress establishing second class rates was for the purpose of removing what had been heavy tax on publishers of legitimate newspapers and magazines, thereby aiding in the dissemination of news matter through rightful channels, benefting not alone the publisher, but the subscriber.
 But it was not long, in fact the time was remarkably short, before publications not for news, but for the purpose of advertising special ties, secured a Judgment in the mails under the guise of newspa- pers There they remained until ! Third Assistant Postmaster Gen. eral Madden took up the cudgels on behalf of the postal department. Its efforts in the direction of one cent letter postage had been seri- ously hampered by the drain on the resources of the department be- cause of the enormous tonnage of the illegiti nate matter going through the mails as entitled to the rates for second class matter.
 In 1900 the weight of second class matter, legitimate and illegitimate, had reached the enormous total of 5O0,0O0, ,0O0 pounds, the greater percentage of it being illegitimate. The fight against the exclusion of that class of matter was begun in Chicago, and injunctions were sued out against the department re- straining it from refusal to carry the stuff until final disposition by the courts. The actions were in stituted in the courts in the Dis trict of Columbia, and the conten- tion of the department was that the determination of what was and what was not second class matter was for the department alone, in the exercise of a sound discretion, and further, that in the absence of proof of an abuse in that direc- tion the courts could not interfere.
 There was varying success in the district courts, but the supreme court has settled the question in favor of the department. Not only will illegitimate publications be ex- cluded from the privileges of sec ond class matter, but the depart ment will be enabled to proceed in the direction of letter postage from two to one cent.
