now charged, and halt cent a pound second
class matter instead of 1 cent pound which s the
present rate
There is force in their argumen5 that since the
cent pound rate on secnuh class matter mas done
much to build up frat class mail business, through
the distribution OF advertising still greater benefit
wOulf to frst.cass bu neSs from stiil more
liberal course toward the newspapers and periodicals
admitted to second class tntty.
The proposal To upera,e mails as a private
enterprise forms nc part Ut the material for hard
thinking thus presented to the Postal Commission
The post Office is pubic utility that will never
under any circumstances be operated by any other
agency than the Government. The pr 0posal is hard
~ made with the expecta' ION that it will be taken
seriously.
But If a syndicate of individual capitalists can
prove it's ability to operate the postal service
of the United States at profit half the rates now
charged for first and second class matter, the ques
tion for Congress and the Commission to ponder is:
Why cannot the Government do wellf
In truth the complaints that have been made
against the cost of Transporting and handling sec
ond- class matter due to the faults in postal
service as it is now administered. The tons upon
tons OF franked matter and public documents sept
through the mails postage free by the Government
itself form unduly large part of the bulk of sec
ond class matter that annually passes through the
nails and it is in way fair charge the cost of
its transportation against the publications which
pay the second. class rate.
There is, moreover, extravagance in the prices
which the Post Office Department pays the rail
roads for carrying the mails Cut out the deadhead
matter with which the Government loads the mail
bags and pay the railroads more than they would
get for similar service from private concerns, and
the $40 ton which second class matter pays in
postage for hauls which are usually short will give
the Government very good profit

The other day we saw battle in the air
That made rs think OF battles on the earth;
Sparrow thought Pigeon had feathers spare.
And this was the cause of all the fnss.
Across the bridge Of sighs over the river n tears,
Down the valley ot WaDt to prOverty and grief;
This Pigeon Of toll. in history appears.
The Bird, that's plucked by the mon poly thiei.
Kings want power, Priests wan dominion.
Predatory wealth wants all the earth;
These three combined agree that the geon,
Can live on air or get of the earth.
The big strong Pigeon for want Of sense,
Makes easy picking for the,lazy combinations;
And ever be plucked, whatever the preseuSe
While Gagged by the myths Of religious ennersttion
This is the cause of the worlds great fuse,
Between the SparrOws OF greed and the Pigeons
of tolls
The SparrOws want rent for the earth,
And the Pigeons ale forced 10 light on the seiI.
This hattie has been and is the dread, va
OF all those who would di-pel the storm;
And will he till the PIgenns get hrans in their
heads
And write their experience in their party platform.
When we consider the material on hand
And note the wise advice Of good men lost;
And knew how y rants have enslaved mankind,
Lord; We are glad matters are not worse.

come over from the long session, but among these
this year several Of the Presidents pet measures

all Of them be disposed Of before noon on the 4th

been shorG or confined to few subjects Too many
important measures 1rged Ut the same time are apt
to defeat one another by the clash OF rival interests,

defeat BY spreading out over too much ground.

Chicago. June 14-Rains throughout Missouri. Illinois and the Ohio River Valley caused weakness today in the local wheat market. At the close the July option was off 3-S@12. Corn was unchanged. Oats were up 8-4 and pro- visions were unchanged to 9 1-2@5c. lower.
 Following the liberal profit taking of yesterday the wheat market was again subjected to heavy selling pres sure today. and although several rallies occurred on covering by shorts. senti- ment in the pit was generally hearish. The principal weakening influence was the report of rain throughout Illinois, Indiana. Kentucky and Missouri. An other factor that tended to lower prices early in the day was the weak tone of This caused considerable selling by pit traders. Reports from the Southwest regarding the condition of the crop were as conflicting as ever. some ad- vices claiming great damage by drouth, while others told of favorable progress being made by che new crop. One fact, however. that stood out prominently Tn the days news was the continued abs sence of rain in Kansas and Nebraska, ing daily on account of lack ot moist ure. This was the source of encourage ment to the bulls. The market clos ed easy. July opened unchanged at s3; sold between s2 1-s@t4 and SS@ Is and closed at S2 1-2@5-S. Clarances were equal to s3,700 bushels. Primary re ceipts were 957.000 bushels compared with 242,o0o year ago.
