SOME STARTLING FIGURE:

tation Charges Paid by
the Government
A republican member of con-
gress, Haugen, of Iowa, is OPP
posed to the parcels post. AS
an argument against the plan,
Mr.. Haugen compiled statistics
relating to the amount paid for
mail transportation by the gov
eminent to the railroads. Ac-
cording to the New York
World, Mr.. Haugen's investi-
cation discloses that: "Over
one-quarter of the cost of the
postoffice department is paid to
1.-THE railroads. For the mere
Transportation the railroads
charge S1.25 per ton mile
This is over 100 times the aver
age freight charge, although il
their freight business the rail
roads provide stations, cars and
all employees. In the mail bust
ness the government pays adj
ditionally the rental for cars
and furnishes the clerks who
handle the mail. For the LOIS
postal cars the government
pays $5,500,044 annually, ar
average of s5,427. The cars
cost only $4,000 to build. The
express companies carry par
cells at a l00-pound rate TO,
less than a quarter of the rail.
road mail charge. Yet the ex-
press companies out of this pay
for their offices, clerk, delivery
wagons and big dividends on
INFLATED capital" The World
reminds Mr.. Haugen that his
figures provide conclusive in
dictment against the postoffice
administration which pays the
railroads ten times as much for
the mail as for the express
matter in the next car" Now
will Mr.. Haugen undertake to
bring about a reform in the
matter of expenditures for
mail transportation? If not,
why not. Harlan Tribune.

Color Of Gasoline Cans

covering the color of gasoline
cans:
Replying to yours at hand,
will say, that the law relating
to the painting of gasoline cans
will not go into effect until
January l, 1907. After that
late gasoline must be kept in
cans painted vermillion red and
having the word gasoline
plainly marked thereon.
This new law would seem q
good one to us for there would
be no likelihood of getting the
different oils mixed, such as
kerosene and gasoline, and thus
endangering the lives of people
handling them in their homes
When this law goes into effect
md the cans properly marked
we hope the inspectors will see
to it that pure oils are used.
that is, inspect them properly
50 that there may be less d; n
ger to the consumers. The OIL
inspectors sometimes make
their reports from their home
town and never visit the othe,
towns in their territory, but
what we want is to have this
oil personally inspected so tina
IN intelligent report can be
made to those in authority.
In all cases of state inspec-
zion, would it not be a good
thing fer the inspectors te
visit their territory and not
make reports with their eyes
shut, so to speak?
A white minister was con
Quoting religious services in !;
colored church in North Car
DINA recently. After exhort
ing a bit he asked an old col
ored deacon to lead in prayer.
and this is the appeal which
the brother in black offered TO,
his brother in white:
ooh, Lord, glib him de eye OF
de eagle dat he spy out sin
affair off. Glue his hands to de
gospel pillow. Tie his tongue to
de line of truf. Nail his ear tt
de gospel pole. Bow his hea6
way down between his knees
and his knees way down in
some lonesome, dark and mar
row valley, where prayer is
much wanted to be made

We have noticed complaints
from different towns in tho

possible for the league teams

The following item, clipped
from an exchange, is singularly
appropriate just now and any
one who has ever been a candid
ate for office will admit that the
squib contains a lot of common
sense:
"a man in Kansas had about
made up his mind to become a
candidate for clerk of the dis
trict court and was talking to
his wife about it "See here,
john" she replied, Owe lived
with you about fifteen years and
have had a fairly good opinion
of you, and don't want it spoil
ed now. don't want to learn
that you were in the peniten-
tiary several years ago for bur-
glary; don't want to hear how
you nearly beat your father to
death and swindled him out of
his property. If you came near
being hanged for stealing horses
in Indian Territory and had
to leave Iowa for murder, /
don't care to hear it all thresh-
ed over at this day. You can
run for clerk If you choose, and
it elected, the first case you
have on the docket will be Ma
ry VS. John, suit for divorce; the
cause of action, the defendent
has three living wives, and is an
escaped convict as shown by
newspapers"

The B. Y. P. U. Convention
which was held in Omaha,
closed last evening, after a
very pleasant and profitable
meeting. There were over $50
voices in the grand chorus, and
the singing was conducted by
Mr.. Towner, the celebrated
evangelistic singer. One of
the hits during the convention,
was the speech Saturday even
ing by Rev. Earl, Of Waterloo,
Iowa, who took for his subject
"The Power of Wealth. Rev.
Earl was literally applauded at
the close of his lecture and it
is said that his speech was one
of the best if not the best, de-
livered during the convention.
The convention voted on Spo-
kane, Washington, as the next
meeting place.

Governor Folk holds the
reins in Missouri with closed
hand and allows no one to inter-
fere when he is trying to en-
force the laws, as he interprets
them. In st. Joseph the sa-
loon men undertook to run
their saloons on Sunday after
the governor had ordered them
closed, and in consequence the
town is mighty dry, which is
very hard on the people Of that
locality. 1t is certainly re-
freshing to know that there
are men who can do the things
they start out to do, and not
keep the people in suspense
with their promises. The Gov
ernor has raised the idea of
morality in Missouri since he
has been an office holder and
we look for great future for
the fearless man.

CITY BEAUTIFUL PLANS.

CITY BEAUTIFUL PLANS.
The idea of the city beautiful has
spread rapidly all over the United
States. 1t has even spread to Cana
da, and the city of Toronto is now
giving the world an object lesson in
the art of city Identification, says the
Sun, of Lowell, Mass.
Toronto took it's cue no doubt from
such cities as Cleveland, which has
pose, and the example is having a
magnetic effect upon other cities. The
Ontario Association of Architects has
prepared a plan for the civic improve
ment of Toronto. This plan is one that
if adopted will call for systematic
work through a long period of years.
That is the only way to work out a
definite scheme of development.
The cities that work without such a
plan spend their money to no effect.
1t often happens even with ourselves
that one city official will go to great
expense to ID what some predeces-
sor accomplished at equal expense.
Thus we find that lack of system is
costly, and hat without it there are
many loose ends that go to waste. The
.~-~- I'll - =. r-@lI
devised plan of improvement is not
thrown way. Little by little the re-
suits appear and in the end the city
will have reason to be proud of the
finished design.
When a board of architects, land
scape gardeners and engineers goes
to work to devise public improve
ments with a view to identifying the
city they can lay out a plan of what
the city should be. hen let the city
take up it's plan and work slowly, it
may be, but nevertheless steadily, in
that direction. This is the way in
which some of the most beautiful CT
ties in America became the models
that they are. 1t is a good and saluta-
ry thing to keep before the govern
ment of a city some plan of public
improvement sufficient to inspire them
to heroic effort in the right direction.
In this way with a city as with an in
dividual a great deal nor a be ac-
complished than by haphazard, unsys-
tematic and desultory effort.
AS a move in ths~5frection of sys-
tematic improvement, Roswell has
adopted a street parking ordinance
which if steadily pursued will in the
future work a great improvement
throughout the city. Other efforts for
uniformity of plan will suggest them
selves from time to time. The build
ing of cement walks throughout the
city is another plan that should be
to the enc
