MICH IN LITTLE.

The action of the Worlds Postal
viding for an international return post
age stamp, although apparently a small
thing, means much, especially to the
foreign-born people of this country.
There are thousands upon thousands
OF foreign-born residents of the United
States, and especially of this section of
the United States. who are in COM
Eunication with relatives and friends
in their former homes across the sea
and who bear the entire postage ex-
pense Of letter writing.
International postal regulations per-
init letters mailed in European coun-
tries to be delivered in this country,
postage collect, but the fee collected is
twice the amount that it would be IL
prepaid. The newly authorized device
will enable people here to purchase a
return international postage stamp, or
coupon, affixing one stamp to their
letter and enclosing the other inside of
IT, to be exchanged at the postoffice at
the point of destination for a return
stamp issued by the government of
that country.
This new departure may not save
much to the big commercial institu-
tons, but it means a great deal to poor
people who can i'll afford to pay the
excess postage of collect letters. 1t
will probably be some months yet be-
fore this innovation is put into prac-
teal operation, but 1t will sarely be
welcome to all affected by it.

THE PAPER TRUST.

The sweeping victory of the govern
ment in the Paper trust case reveals
the radical and far-reaching effect of
the national antitrust law when en-
forced by an energetic and resolute ex-
ecutive. The Paper trust was not an
extreme type of the numerous combi-
nations TO restrain trade. although
there was general and vehement com
plant by consumers of news print and
fiber paper of it's control of prices as
the exclusive selling agent of the
whole output OF the western paper
mills. But the result OF vigorous and
unrelentiRg prosecution is to establish
the fact that this trust scheme is
clearly Ind wholly within the prohibi-
lions and penalties of the Sherman act
against cOnspiraeies against competi-
ton and trade
The Importance OF the case, how
ever, goes far beyond the interests Of
the immediate parties to it, because
II has been the means of finally set
Ting constitutional point vital to the
enforcement OF the law upon all great
trusts and combinations, the point as

nation of the acts Of a defendant cor

this bulwark OF corporation evasion
was forever destroyed by its decision,
and the Paper trust defense forthwith
collapsed.

forcement of the antitrust law causes

A letter from Paul Morton pi esi-
dent OF the Equitable, emphasizes what
he calls "a lamentable fact" connected
with the recent insurance upheaval and
consequent Investigations. that they
force those to bear the burden who
could least afford 1t. The records of
his company he says, show that
through groundless fear that ma
turing contracts might not be fulfilled
more that $1,000 policies for 1900
or less we're allowed to lapse, while
only one policy for $25O,O0O was sur
rendered" He adds that. while this
latter policy has since been restored
with many of the small ones, mum
bers of those who gave up their poll
cies are not now insurable, while many
have died during the year. leaving
their families destitute, or nearly so,
as is proved by the letters received"
President Morton is inclined to
ascribe this condition to misapprehen-
sion and Misrepresentation of the real
facts and to blame some newspapers"
for it, The Bee does not feel itself in
Guided In this designation because
throughout the entire insurance inves-
tigation it has treated the subject from
an eminently conservative and dispas-
sionate standpoint, yet at the same time
it realizes the responsibility of the press
to assist in reinstating life insurance
in public confidence, although this re-
sponsibility must rest primarily upon
the managers of the insurance COM
panies, who must so conduct their in
stitrtions in the full light of publicity
as h justify restored confidence.
There is no question but what the
burden of the insurance shake-up, as
President Morton points out, so far as
it has fallen upon the policy holders.
has hit hardest upon the small policy
holders. The only way to remedy this
world be to be as liberal az possible in
the terms of reinstatement. but even
here the interests of the policy holders
who have fulfilled all conditions of
their contracts must be safeguarded
Those who maintained their faith I'M
shaken in the sound insurance COM
panies through the period of exposure
will not regret it, because they will
ultimately reap the benefits.

PRESBYTERIAN BOOK OF WORSHIP.

PRESBYTERIAN BOOK OF WORSHIP.
1t is not at all surprising that the
publication of Book of Common
Worship should start more than a rip
pie of discussion within the Presby-
terrain church, although the book is
put forward under authority of the
general assembly, and it's preparation
under the scholarly hand of DR.. Van
Dyke has been in progress for two
years The singular thing is that the
protest against such fOrnfis not more
general and violent, or that the church
authority should. on due elaboration
running over a series of years, have
been able to reach the conclusion to
put It forth. Presbyterianism was
originally one of the most austere re-
actions against forms and ceremonial
in religion, and the tendencies repre-
sented by the famous Scotch woman.
Jennie Geddes. who hurled her stool
at the head of the clergyman for read
ing prayers out OF the Episcopalian
Book of Common Prayer, have yielded
with all the slOwness characteristic OF
Presbyterian conservatism and tenac-
ity.
Up till within the memory of men
not yet old even proposal of a book
of worship would hardly have been
ventured, and in many jurisdictions an
organ was not tolerated in church
service. There has since been more
pronounced relaxation in the practices
OF most of the Presbyterian churches
in common with the other denomina-
tions. Undoubtedly historic distinc-
lions are being dimmed by general
modern conditions and tendencies, and
extreme differentiation among the de-
nominations is falling away because
their original cause is disappearing.
Yet 1t is notable that the Presbyterian
church even now has not prescribed
the new form OF common worship
which is arousing opposition, but only
authorized il for those who have no
objection TO its use.
