Fined for Delaying Mail

The postoffice department has imposed fines on railroads entering in Kansas City for the late arrival of mails during the past three months as follows:
 Santa Fe, for late service from Chicago to Kansas City. $2, ,S93; Santa Fe, for late service between Kansas City and La Junta, $1O, ,553; Missouri Pacific, for late service between St. Louis and Kansas City, $627; to Ottawa, Kas., $3O; to Atchison, S2O; Wabash, for late service from St. Louis to Kansas City, $1,361; Burlington, for late service between Ca ameron and Kan sas City, $9O; Chicago to Kansas City, $251; Rock Island, from Kansas City to Kansas points, $759.
 If the postof1ice department would fine the Santa Fe a nominal amount for every time the mails were delivered late at Williams, the government would soon have to take over the entire system in order to collect the fines assessed. "Governmtnt ownership" of the railroads would have an easy beginning out in Arizona along those lines.

New Rules for Catholics

After next Easter Roman Catho- lies will have to sIgn contracts when they engage to marry. This is part of the new matrimonial regulations which Pope Plus X has ordered enforced in America. as they have been in Catholic countries since the council of Trent in tie [ six eenth century.
 At present Catholic church' { "publish the bans" several Sundays before a wedding. This consists il, an announcement made from the pulpit by the priest that the per sons are to he married on a certain date. The new marriage regula- tions require a young man and woman who are engaged to marry to sign written agreement to that effect in the presence of two wit nesses. Then the engagement is binding and is "published in the church."
 The young people must marry unless they can show the bishop of the diocese in which the agreement was signed reason why it should be broken. The bishop may then issue dispens rtion and an agree ment to break the engagement must be signed by both the young people in the presence of two witnesses.
 The age for marriage is fixed at 12 years for girls and IS for boys This will have little effect in the United States, however. as it was a provision made centuries ago for the benefit of the Latin countries in the south of Europe.

RUNNING A NEWSPAPER

About once a week or oftene1 some cheerful friend of ours re- marks: "Well, your paper is out now and l suppose you can take 1t easy for few days" Of course we can. We take things every day, and we don't care whether they are easy or otherwise. This thing of running newspaper is all picnic and lie. The business goes on in an automatic way. It does this beca use 1t cannot do any other way When bills are due money drops off the trees, and subscribers have been known to tear the shirts off each others backs endeavoring to get into the office first to deposit their mite The editor fights the advertisers off with a club. If he didn't use the big stick the forms would stick over the bed of the press in vain efforts to accommodate the ad- vertisers with space. And it is no trick to set the news Every body with a news item rushes down to the office the day before press day and hands in copy. All the news editor has to do is to sit back in his easy chair and smile at the line of people waiting their turn to tell what they know. The compositors hypnotize the copy, shake it a few times over the cases and the type rattles into proper position faster .than an interest bearing note natures at the bank. Now the foreman makes few passes with his makeup rule, speak ks the magic word, and the forms are down and the paper ready for the public Then the editor finds time to go over to the bank and deposit some more money. That's all there is to it. It's great snap. You ought to get into the business. It's fine-Ex.

AGAINST YOUR OWN TOWN

Grover Cleveland once wrote: Ut is a condition and not a theory that confronts us," the Gus" mean ing the citizens of every town and countryside, including yours and ours. It is up to us to combat this tendency of the country people to do their shopping by mail instead of in person, thus letting the loca ] stores shift for themselves. Both the merchants and the non- merchants are vitally interested q in this matter, inasmuch as all citi- zens are mutually dependent, and what hurts the town. and ccm- munity hurts the people who belong there.
 The rural free mail delivery is a great thing for the farmers nc loubt, but it is unquestionable that the establishment of these routes has a distinct tendency to hurt both the town and the country. The tendency is toward the depre- ;iation of land values both as to town lots and farm acreage. How md why? We'll, simply because the farmer and his family travel to town less frequently now than be- fore, since their mail is delivered to them each day. The women folks, who do most of the buying, ind it extremely easy to look up something in catalogue, buy a money order from the R. F. D. man, stick a postage sta mp on an envelope and receive from Mir. R. z. D.'s hands in a few days tie article ordered.
 The storekeepers in town lose the trade which they formerly en- joyed. Some of them go out of business. There is much less money in circulation around town, and instead of continuing to grow the place begins 10 decay. With the town on the down grade farm property in the vicinity likewise takes the tohoggan chute. There's no doubt of it. The logic is clear. The person who gets into the mail order habit may imagine that he or she is getting good bargains, but in the long run the community is sure to lose by the process.
 The remedy lies with the people of each community. The local merchants can do their part by becoming more up to date, adver Using their goods in the local paper in such an attractive style as to compete with the catalogue people, and the citizens in town and country can cooperate effectively by developing deeper sense of community interest.

DEATH IN FORWARD CARS

There is death in the forward railroad cars.
 It has come to this, that the man wEo pays for a seat in Pullman car buys the best kind of an accident insurance with his ticket. while the man who rides in the smoker, the day coach or the chair car too often buys a ticket to his funeral.
 Thus the right to live is made contingent on ability to pay extra.
 The railroads have been using the Pullman cars, with tl.eir stifi frames, and sound bodies, for a generation, and their effectiveness as protection against serious accident to passengers is well known. But the ordinary pas senger cars are still Icing built ol the same old fiimsy models, while for years the steel freight cars has been forcing its way into use.
 The old style passenger car is utterly condemned, by the ex- perience of a generation. In almost all wrecks the deaths and serious injuries take place in the forwaro cars, while the Pullmans remain unharmed. The fiimsy woodel cars are splintered like cigar boxes. roofs and sides are ripped off, tht main constructive mem bers art twisted and broken, and dozens or scores of human beings are crushed killed, maimed or burned.
 It is time steps were taken to stop the murder-and murder it is, for the passengers are consigned to these death traps with full knowledge of the frightful risk. Congress should enact law after the model of the car coupler and air brake laws, requiring all rail- roads to scrap the wooden cars and replace them with steel cars for passenger service, certain pro- portion of the old cars to be retired each year.
 Steel cars are not an experiment. They are already in use on some roads. A steel car with a rigid frame, unburnable and impossible to telescope or crush, under any familiar wreck conditions. actually y weighs less than the old style car, and carries more people for the same exterior dimensions. The cost is little if any more than the old style cars, especially when maintenance is taken into account
 Such legislation as this is absolutely necessary. and that the states should undertake to low CT fares by force in the face of SC many needs to improve the service is only another proof that oul system of choosing legislators needs revision-El Paso Herald.
