carried at pound rates
Mr.. Madden's recommendation
that a rate Of { cents a pound be fix
cd for all printed matter lacks the
element OF sound business. since it
would make uniform rate for
newspaper and periodical literature,
which Is circulated on the lowest
margin of profit. and for other print
ed matter which Is sold at large
profit.
The cent-a-pound rate has enabled
publishers OF magazines to put high
class reading into millions of homes
at low prices and has helped other
publishers widely to extend the cir
culation Of the newspapers by
which the people are kept informed
of public affairs Any congressman
who votes for the proposed increase
will not soon hear the last of it in

coal when used to produce steam and

the most significant is that the power
Of emciency of certain soft Goals when

when the coal is used in a steam boil

one ton has developed as much power
as two and one-half tons used in the
old way. This discovery is simply
marvellous. Another result Is that

An Experiment in ownership.


Florida Times-Union.
General attention is now being di-
rected to Omaha, instead OF Chicago,
as the scene of an experiment in mu'
ntcipal ownership and the relation OF
the courts to that scheme. Chicago
elected government to institute the
experiment, and that government
shrank back from the responsibility
Omaha went further and Jared worse.
In view OF the prevailing theories, ii
is well to keep history III view. Omaha
secured from the legislature authority
to contract for water supply. She
SO contracted, writing into the con
tract right to purchase the water
works at an appraised valuation after
90 years" The contract was made
with man rSmed Locke, who organ
ICED the Omaha Waterworks Company
and this it is not charged with breach
OF contract. In 1908 the city desired
to purchase under the contract and a
board OF appraisers were chosen with
the cooperation OF the city. While
this board was preparing its report
the city ordered the company to cut
rates. The intention being charged
to depreclate the value of the prop
erty offered for sale. The courts
entoined the city and the company
was restored in its right.
Meantime the agitation continued
and public opinion emphatically in
dorsed the proposed purchase. the ad'
vocates of municipal ownership setting
about three millions as the value
Then the board reported valuation
OF over six millions, and the city re
fused to purchase, demanding anoth'
er appraisal. The company claimed
that under its contract the city must
take the property and pay the figure
fixed, and is suing the city to com
pei observance of the contract.

It would seem that in the type Of

will go through SO inches Of seasoned

The day when safety lies in lodging

The strong point about this ad-
mirable bullet is the fiat Trajectory.
with the present style OF bullet, hred
at target 1000 yards distant, one
could stand with perfect immunity at
many points between the n1uzzle and
the traget, as at 500 yards the missile
would pass IL. feet over his head. The
new bullet shows only 10-foot rise
at this distance. Almost the entire
space between muzzle and target
would be zone Of danger. Only one
fault is found by experts with the
modern bullet, and that is lack Of
accuracy. They think this may be
overcome. and, even Il it shall not be
remedied, a regiment advancing and
sowing the field ahead with bullets
capable of penetrating whatever they
happen to hit would discomfort the
