POSTAL SYSTEM
IN HANDS OF
CORPORATION

To turn over the postal service
nf the United States to private
corporation under strict public
control is the remarkable proposal
made to the Postal Commission to-
day.
w. D. Boyce, of Chicago, pub
Usher. man of big affairs and sew
eral times millionaire, made the
proposition, on behalf of himself
and assistant, whom he did not
name. to take care Of the postoffice
business aud run il on business
principles.
The proposal includes agreement
Immediately to cut postage rates
in half. There could be no deficit
under such an arrangement for the
Government to meet, because the
corporation would have to make
ends meet.
Mr.. Boyce wants the postal cor
poration under postal commits
sion which shall be the regulating
and supervising agency of the
Gov ernment.
He proposes to pay Uncle Sam
rental for all postotiice quarters
occupied in public buildings, and
over against this he designs to
charge the Government regular
rates for all services performed for
it. These Government services he
now estimates at $25, 100000 an
nually. At half the present rates
this would be cut to $l2, 500, 600.
Applying business methods to
postoflce affairs would result in
immense economies in transporta-
tion. Mr.. Boyce figures that the
expenditure for railroad haulage
would be cut from $50, ,000,0 900 to
about half that sum.

Fire Dangers For Christ
mas Displays.

In every December, figures OF
fire losses reach this Office which
eloquently plead for mere care in
the displaying of Chritmas goods.
The greater number of these fires
start in show windows, especially y
in those which are dust proof.
These tightly enclosed show-boxes, 8,
after the lights (even electric )are
turned on acquire temperature
higher than blood heat, 80 every
thing in them is ready to blaze on
slight provocation.
Don't use swingiug.gas bracket ,
ever.
Don't decorate with straw, leaves
or paper.
Don't use cotton to i'm tate snow
anywhere.
Don't use an electric wire for a
clothes-line.
Don't fail to put out the smoker
or his cigar.
Don't use an arc light without
a spark arrester.
Don't use any light without a
globe or wire screen.-
Don't entirely cut off entilation
from show window.
Don't put infamable stuff
against an electric lamp socket.
Don't have electric bulbs in
show windows hung by fexable
cords,
Don't have open lights for
ribbons, fancy papers and light
fabrics to blow into.
Don't block aisles or exits with
displays so to increase the danger
from fire panic.
Don't 1t cotton goods or paper
shades rest against electric light
bulbs. They may char and when
charred ignite.
Don't fail, if you have de-
partment store, to test the APP
paratus, to have extra clerk
participate in fire drill.
Don't have salesrooms Uttered
with rubbish from the unpacking
of goods. Show-windows aside,
rubbish is responsible for the
greater number of holiday fires.
Don't expose articles of celu-
loid to any temperature above
summer heat. In store at Wal

Description From w. S
Boone From Holy Writ
Regarding the Eat
ing Of Pork.
Editor of tho Democrat Sentinel :
Shall we eat swine's ilesh2

Editor of the Democrat Sentinel
Shall we eat swine's iesh2
The Jewish people are excepted
in the following declaration; We
have been educated by precept
and example even from our grand
fathers days to believe that swine 8
aesh is an essential, appropriate
and Indispensable article of diet.
With due reverence and respect
for our honored ancestors from
whom we received this legacy
of depravitY, the fact remnins
that the eating of swine's iirsh
by the human family is gross
sin forbidden by the word of God
and condemned from heal II
standpoint by some of the most
noted doctors and writers in
Europe and America. During the
last half century many thousands
OF the gentle race have abandon
ed the use OF pork and lard, some
from the standpoint Of health
alone, others influenced by the
plain declarations of the bible On
that subject.
The mate, inherent physical un-
cleanness OF certain beasts was
known and recognized by the peo-
pie who lived before the flood; for
we read in Gen. 7:l2; "And the
Lord said unto Noah, come thou
and all thy house into the ark;
for thee have / seen righteous
before ME in this generation. or
every clean beast thou shalt take
to thee by sevens, the male and
his female. And Of beasts that
are not clean by two, the male
and his female. There went in
two and two. unto Noah and to
the ark, the male and the female
as God had commanded Noah, "
verse o.
The unelean beasts Of our day
are defendants of those that Noah
took into the ark before the flood.
Their uncleanness is hereditary
and inherent and therefore not
ceremonial as some suppose, bar
ring the Jews only,
When the swine is mentioned in
the bible it is classed with the
unclean beasts not to be eaten.
In Levtlcus Goth, we read; "And
the swine, though he divide the
hoof and the elovenfooted, yet he
cheweth not the eud he il un-
clean to you. OF their flesh shall
ye not eat, and their carcass shall
ye not touch they are unelean to
you" Also in Deut. l4;8; these
words "And the swine, because
il divideth the hoof, yet cheweth
not the end, IL is onelsan unto
% you 70 shall not eat Of their

resolution in the state senate last
winter on this subject; Harry M.
NJ. Daugherty, Theodore Burton
and others successively declined.
The cheer of the Thanksgiving
day season, as much as anything
else, perhaps, drew together a
group Of politicians who summed
themselves in front of the Neil
house yesterday noon. They had
spent most Of their time fighting
each other, but no one would have
suspected 10 from their CHEEKY
greetings. They were Captain
"Si" Allen of Athens, former
clerk of the supreme court; John
Il. Malloy, former state oil IN
spector; James Ross, former sher-
if; Eli NJ. West, former steward
of the penitentiary; Charles Ger
IRISH, once in control Of local Re-
publican politics, and William c..
Gear, former representative and
former senator from Wyandot
county.
They were all "exes" officially
hut several of them still have
political resources. Ross, who
manages the turbulent Dem ocracy
of Franklin county as easily AS if
it were kindergarten and lie
with Froebel, is dodging enthu-
siasttc w. G.. T. u. advocates who
want to pin white ribbons on him
because his friend, Mayor Badger,
has come out for Sunday closing.
Malloy, West and Gerrish are get
ting ready to try to upset the
Rowland organization next year,
while Captain Allen, who can
thrash his weight in wildcats, in
either war or politics, and "Bilf'
Gear, who had the honor of being
called names by Tom Johnson, are
now only spectators.
Ross and West were on the
same side in the fight to prevent
the election of Mark Hanna to the
senate, while ST Allen and Malloy
were in the Hanna camp.
On the question of the speaker
ship and the other officers, if it is
found necessary to effect an entire
reorganization of the house, Dan
iel j. O'Rourke, the Toledo In
dependent, will line up with the
Republicans. This would make
the Republican majority in the
house five, instead of three.
Representative o. Rourke was
here yesterday and said he would
support the Republican candidate
for speaker. When asked why,
he said he had voted for the
Democratic slate last year and, as
he was an Independent, it was
proper that he should vote the
other way next time.
Last session he offered reso-
luton for submitting to vote the
question of the prohibition amend
ment TO the constitution, He said
he was willing to do this again
but was not in favor of increasing
the Aiken tax on saloons, claiming
that i'm Toledo it had not worked
as predicted, and had shut up
only an incOnsiderabie number Of
saloons.
Representative Hillencamp, the
other Independent member from
Toledo, is expected to vote with
the Democrats ON organization as
he did last session. There will be
three vacancies at least to fill, as
Ashbrook (Dem. OF Licking has
been elected II congressman,
Speker Thompson has been elected
secretary of state, and Baldwin of
Ashtabuls (Rep.) has been ap-
pointed y member of the state
board Of public works. But Lick
ing, Lawrence and Ashtabula
counties will probably return
members of the same politics as
the retiring ones.
