THE SECOND CLASS RATE.
The Reading Public Would Have to
Pay the Increase IF the Govern
ment Raises This Rate.

Inasmuch as the report of the POST
master-General shows that second
class matter constitutes approximate
| two-thirds of all the mail handled
while it yields but one-twenty- fourth
of the total revenue, the bulk of the
enormous loss In conducting the de-
partment must be laid at the door of
the newspapers and periodicals. But
in too many minds this loss of mill
lions of dollars a year to the Govern
ment is regarded as that much profit
to the publishers who mail papers at
second class rates. Instead, it is the
general reading public that reaps the
benefit of the cheap rate and that
would be forced to pay the increase
if the rate were raised. True, pub
fishers would suffer temporarily on
account of those who discontinued
fusal to pay the extra tax, but the
burden in the end would fall, as it al
ways does, on the consumer.
Without question there are great
many things about the second class
privilege as it now exists that should
be revised The flooding of the mails
with cheap and trashy stuff which is
designed merely for the purpose OF
carrying advertising and which is not
worth intrin5ically even the low post
age charged for its distribution, is an
evil that can not be too strongly or
too often condemned. 1t is a prosti-
tuition of the privilege originally
granted legitimate publications on
the ground that they are useful agents
for the spread of learning and the
promotion of civilization. Because
of the entertainments of worthless
sheets that were never meant to be
included among those entitled to the
second class entry there is grow
ing sentiment in favor of making all
publications pay with other classes a
proportionate share of the postal def
icit. In order to combat this the legit-
innate publishing interests should see
to it not only that they be adequately
represented before the Postal Com
mission on Oct I, but that there be
abundant popular agitation that will
make. plain just where the real blame
for the abuse of the second class
privilege lies.-New York Editor and
Publisher

SUNDAY ON THE COAST.
Revival of Old Puritanical Sabbath
Laws Has Brought About I'm
bearable State of Affairs.

The New Orleans Picayune com
1nents as follows on the experiments
with the lid" now being made at
Gulfport and Biloxi:
The civil authorities Of Mississippi
along the Gulf coast have brought
about a most anomalous and unbear-
able state of affairs through their own
disagreement.
1t appears that Mississippi has on
her statute books most stringent
and puritanical Sunday law, which
or the performance of any act that is
not demanded by actual necessity
The law has been a dead letter for
years, but recently the District Judge
has ordered its enforcement to the ex-
tent of closing barrooms and prohib-
ting baseball games. The sheriff at
Biloxi, insisting that law can not be
properly enforced as to barrooms
and baseball and neglected as to ev-
cry other transaction, business and
act, ordered everything stopped and
every place closed, and Sunday was
dead day on the coast
Drug stores were not allowed to
sell soda water, and only medicines
were permitted All public hacks and
carriages were forbidden to run. The
sale OF ice and milk was stopped
Nobody was allowed to go fishing
i Whether bathing was prohibited is
not reported, but it was a real old
time New England blue law day
On Monday the police courts were
filled with offenders, and all were
fined ten cents and costs each OF
course, such situation is unbearable,
and the people are up in arms over it.
The sea coast towns are summer re-
sorts. and are destinations of numer-
Gus Sunday pleasure excursions, and
such an enforcement of the law will
kill those places
Law is law, but when there is gen
eral disregard and resistance on the
part of the people it becomes a dead
letter. The people of Mississippi have
outgrown blue law conditions, and
they ought to see to it that they get
a reasonable statute for Sunday OBJ
servance. The true object of a Sum
day law IS not to promote and props.
gate church affairs, but TO maintafn
public order and secure a season of
rest for all busy workers. Further
than this. no legislation is in order

years the printer made his own ink,
but since the advent of the large
manufacturers it can now be bought
for less than the small proprietor can
make it. As everything else, ink
varies in quality and price, and the
