Sunday Supplements Must &C

According to the Springfield Republi-
can the days of the Sunday supplements
are short.
The order promulgated by Assistant
Postmaster-Ge General Madden, that after
September the Sunday supplements of
newspapers going through the mails
must carry nothing that does not proper
ly belong with newspaper, is sensible
and Just, and no doubt clearly indicates
the purpose of the head of the depart
ment, Mr.. Cortelyou, to enforce the regu-
Iations touching second-class postal priv
ileges. The fact that newspapers and
periodicals are now in general being
carried at loss by the post-office de-
partment, at the one cent per pound
rate, on the theory that intelligence is
thereby spread and promoted, has its
large bearing upon the persistent postal
deficit
For newspapers to send merchandise
at this rate-this is the ruling of the de-
partment, and what the practice amounts
to-is an imposition on the taxpayers.
1t is entirely right for the government
to rule out alleged supplements" which
consist, in the language of Mr.. Madden's
letter to postmasters, "of calendars,
sheet music, patterns, blocks Of post
cards, series of cut out animal pictures,
animal masks, photographs, cut-out dolls,
soldiers and naval vessels, circulars,
handbills, special detached advertise
ments, cardboard specialtes, sheets con-
tanning disks of soluble paint to be used
in color outline drawings, etc" Truly
this is grossly overlooking the bounty of
the government, and as Mr.. Madden
says, "by no reasonable Interpretation
of the law can such articles be regarded
as 'germaue' to newspaper. or as mat
ter supplied in order to complete what
is left incomplete in the newspaper it.
self AS well might the mails be used
at the newspaper rates to carry grapho-
phones or other catchpenny merchandiz-
ing by which some publishers seek to in
fate their circulation.
Uncle Sam has taken the right course,
and that not too soon. 1t is to be as
sumed that Postmaster General Cortelyou
intends that there shall be no retreat in
the matter of enforcing just regulations
designed to curb a growing tendency to
abuse the second-class postal privilege.
So far Congress- has exhibited no dsposi-
ton to thwart the department in the
discharge of their plain duty, and this
attitude ought to be maintained.

Rural Free Delivery,

Thomas L. James, for many years
postmaster of New York and subsequent
ly postmaster general thinks that the
vital step toward the full development of
the postal service is the extension every
where of the free delivery principle. He
would have the rural user of the posts
put on a level, so far as this essential is
concerned. with his fellow in the city.
Rural free delivery will entail heavy
deficits at first, he admits. But he be-
lieves that, economically administered,
the rural service will finally pay its way,
and that, whether it pays sway or not,
it is fully justified by public policy
"Rural delivery" says Mr.. James, sis
the greatest step in popular education
ever taken in this country. 1t has me
to stay in defiance of its critics, who
assert that it is being exploited at the
sacrifice of efficiency in the cities" The
postoffice department evidently agrees
with Mr.. James on this point, for since
July /, 1904, the extension of the rural
free delivery service-suspended by the
Machen-Beavers exposures-has been
pushed with vigor. On July /, 1904 the
rural routes numbered 24,568. On April
l, 1905, they had been increased to 20, 996.
and by July next they will number
over 200.

Keep No Loaded Guns.

Another bitter lesson on the folly
Of the careless handling of firearms
has been learned the past week, this
time in Starksboro. That community
will not soon forget the sacrifice of the
life of sixteen-year-old girl to her
brothers indulgence in this species of
foolishnoss. There seems to be no way
OF limiting such sacrifices, except by
persistently calling public attention TO
the needlessness of such horrors. 1t is a
good rule to leave firearms alone unless
you mean legitimate business. They are
not playthings. -Brattleboro Reformer.

Mrs. Ellen Crane Barnes.

Mrs. Ellen Crane Barnes, widow Of
Asahel Barnes of Chimney Point, VT,
died of apoplexy April 4th, in Platts-
burg, N. Y, at the residence Of her
daughter, Mrs. Winslow G. Watson with

Brief services were held in Plattsburg

Mrs. Barnes was in the S3rd year of
her age, and one of the few old-time
residents of Addison county. Her
father, Arzah Crane, moved to West

century, about 1912. Mrs. Barnes was
born there in the old brick house still
standing, in which, in the earliest days
of the county's history, its courts were
held. Her fathers father, DIR. Joseph

Duchess county, N. Y. In 1S49 she
married the late Asahel Barnes of Chin
ney Point, who died there in 1886

larged the Barnes residence at that
place, familiar landmark to lake pas
sengers from the earliest days of steam
navigation on Lake Champlain. There
viving nearly all the old time residents
of that part of the county.
Mrs. Barnes was woman of strong
character and most pleasing personality.
She was distinguished among a wide
circle of acquaintance for "A combina-

siderate kindness towards all and for
her deep devotion to the welfare of her
children and unremtting efforts in se-
curing their education and advance
ment. She was member of the Pro-
testart Episcopal church. She is sur
vived by her daughter, Ella S., wife of

mother Revolver Accident.

G. Saunders of Brandon, was accidently
shot in his left hand Sunday morning at
the home of John French in Leicester,
where he and Charlie Scott went to
spend the day in hunting with the

chamber with cartridges and was let
ting the hammer down, when it slipped
through his fingers, discharging the
revolver. Young Saunders was hit in

The boy was brought to Brandon, and
the wound was dressed. 1t was found
that none of the bones were injured. 4

A New Era ,of Prosperity.

There is no surer index to the pros
perity of town or country than the
amount of new buildings being erected.
People do not build mills, blocks or houses
unless they are satisfied that the country
and especially their own locality is
prosperous and likely to remain so for
some considerable time. A leading
financial paper of New York has been
collecting reports from all parts of the
country. These indicate that the year
1905 will break all previous high records
in the. matter of building operations.
With few exceptions all cities send
tidings of unparalleled activity in the
building line as well as in real estate
transactions. The period of prosperity
through which the country is now pass
ing is reflected in the millions that are
being invested in apartments, residences
and factory and office buildings. Be
tween forty and fifty larger cities report
that since the first of the year permits
for buildings valued at something like
filed end the building season is not far
advanced at that.
The percent of increase in valuation Of
new buildings over 1904 in the principal
cities is as follows: New York AZ, Min
neapolis 80, St. Louis CO., Pittsburg 20,
Chicago 125, Philadelphia 60, Boston So
Further indications of the increase in
building operations are found in the
figures obtained from an investigator by
the American Bridge Co., and from
official reports for March of this year
compiled by the America Contractor.
The Bridge Company's investigation
showed more business in sight by 100,-
600 tons than anticipated. The report
of The American Bridge Co., for March
has not been complied as yet, but a
gratifying increase in prospective BUSH
ness over the corresponding period Of
last year is anticipated
Not in years has building on such a
in new buildings cover every district
from the Great Lakes to the Gulf and
from the Pacific to the Atlantic.
A feature of the reports received from
the various cities is the activity in the
factory building line. These reports
show an exceptionally large number of
contracts for buildings for menufactur-
ing purposes In Kansas City for ex-
ample, factory sites show an increase by
| 1909 in value. In that city it is figured
that building operations for the year
will run close to $12,OC0,COO. About
half of the building is in business and
factory buildings.
In Cincinnati building activity is more
pronounced than in any previous period
in the history of the city. The railroads
have acquired great deal of property
in Cincinnati for terminal pur poses. The
same can be said in regard to Cleveland
where the New York Central has recon-
mended the construction of a union
depot which will cost between $1,000
coo and 50, 600 600. City:buildings valued
at $4,000, 600 are expected to go uI

Back TO Essentials"

1t will be interesting to watch the
result of the New York school boards
decision to cut the educational fads out
of the elementary course in the public
schools, and go back to the cold
fashioned essentials" with shorter
periods of study.
every thoughtful person admits that
the result obtained from modern edu-
cational systems are not what they
should be; but broad thinkers will not
too positively attribute this unsatisfactory
state of things entirely to school methods
says the editor of the Brattleboro Re
former, successful teacher of ability
and experience. Our children may not
be what they should be, as to mental
and physical stamina. Present ways of
living and home discipline are not such
as would have met the approval of our
grandfathers in the days of the "three
RS" and the youth of those days might
be able to cope more successfully with
the many-headed school-course monster
of to-day than our coaxed and bribed
youngsters have courage, strength or
inclination to do.
1.-The fault is not all in trying to dc
too much. 1t is partly in constitu-
tional Discrimination to do anything
thoroughly and a remedy might be
found in a general application of com
mon sense to wholesome living and
authority in American homes"

Morrisville is one of the prosperous
villages in Vermont. 1t owns a first
class water system and the best paying
municipal light plant in the state. Its
affairs have been SO well managed that
the tax rate has been steadily reduced
until now the water and light systems
very nearly pay the whole expenses of
the village. This has been secured by
electing the best business men in the
community to office and re-electing
them just as long as they will serve.
