date their patrons who wished to send
money through the mail.
This will be great convenience to
that part of the public which cannot
adopt the more convenient form of
sending check Now when Aunt
Martha wishes to send to the store
the amount she owes, or Uncle Ebe-
nezer finds that his subscription has
expired and he wishes to renew his
favorite newspaper, he can purchase a
money order at his postoffice instead
of sending stamps, as he was formerly
forced to do.
Those citizens who enjoy the bene-
fits which Uncle Sam extends through
the first and second class postoffices
may think it strange that everybody
does not share equal privileges. There
are some $4,000 postoffices in the
country. At all of these registry bust
ness may be transacted, but only 49,
900 are authorized to do money order
business.
In accordance with desire to meet
the needs of the business public, in
GLIDING the town merchant prince and
the crossroads country storekeeper
Postmaster General Meyer is consid
ering extending money order facilities
to all postoffices. Under the author
ity vested in him by law, he will es
tablish the money order business in
many thousands of offices where il
does not now exist Postal employees
and all postmasters are urged and
commanded to cooperate to make the
new venture success from the stand
point of the department and con
venience to the public.
A further reform will be suggested
to Congress at its next session by the
postmaster general. This will be the
authorization of postal notes in sums
not exceeding $3.50 or IS which may
be secured without filling written no
tice and at postoffices where it is moi
practical to issue money orders. Since
it is impractical to send small coins
through the mail, these notes are pro
posed to supply this need
All these improvements are much tc
be desired.

Legislation prohibiting an adult wo-
man from working in factory before
six o'clock in the morning or after
nine o'clock in the evening cannot be
sustained as a proper exercise of the
police power Of the State, according
to decision lately handed down by
the Court of Appeals of New York in
the case Of People VS.. Williams.
Judge Gray, who writes the opinion
of the court says that the legislation
in question is certainly discriminative
against female citizens in denying to
them equal rights with men in the
same pursuit. The courts have, Judge
Gray says, gone very far in upholding
legislative enactments framed clearly
for the welfare, comfort and health of
the community, and he does not deny
that wide range in the exercise of
the police power of the State should
be conceded. When, however, it is
sought, under the guise of labor law,
arbitrarily to prevent an adult female
citizen from working at any time Of
the day that suits her, he thinks 1t is
time to call a halt. Such legislation,
he says, arbitrarily deprives citizens
of their right to contract with each
other.
| Judge Gray remarks in passage
| NOT without Significance that the ten
dency of the Legislatures, in the form
of regulatory measures to interfere
with the lawful pursuits of citizens,
is becoming a marked one in this
country, and that it behooves the
courts fearlessly to interpose the bar
riers of their judgment when invoked
to protest against legislative acts
plainly transcending the powers con
ferred by the constitution upon the
legislative body.

MudsIiHasFs Should Be Defeated.

Politics have only q few more weeks
to get warmer and then we may hope
to have rest from the turmoil. We
have been very muvh gratified to note
that very few of the candidates have
engaged in personalities during the
campaign, and we cannot help think
ing it would be we'll for all in the flu
ture If those who have allowed them
selves to indulge in it this time should
be defeated, overwhelmingly. If they
cannot get into office o ntheir own
merits, then they are not deserving
of it OF any imaginary dement's of
their opponents-Sardis Reporter

Reactionary Conspiracy.

The New Orleans Times Democrat
thinks that all this talk of Southern
man for the presidency has it's in
spiration from Wall street, and charac-
terizes the whole thing as reaction
airy conspiracy. 1t compares it to the
Greeks bearing gifts; declares it the
sole purpose of those behind the move
ment to dissipate the strength of the
progressiveness among the several
candidates and adds:
ANY movement in favor of a fav-
orite son should start in his own
neighborhood, not in Wall street. If
the interests represented on the New
York Stock Exchange and allied in
situations wish to put forward candi-
date, let it select one of it's own for the
honor. There is no objection to Wall
street offering both Rockefeller, Re-
publican, and Morgan, Democrat, for
the presidency, if it be so disposed, but
there is serious objection to its at
tempting to speak for Virginia or
Texas or any part of the South. The
desire is, of course, TO have two Dem
ocratic candidates, that reactionary
Republican can be run in between"
them and succeed to the presidency.
In which case the Roosevelt policies
would be abandoned promptly and the
advance recently made would be lost.
Southern States should pay no heed to
the favorite son idea, and unite to
secure the nomination of man who is
not only representative of them as to
policies, but who will have chance
of election"
In this statement the Times-Demo-
crat makes no revelations, but en-
phasizes a fact so potent that all who
run may read; and while it is well
known 1t cannot be referred to too
often to make it impressive upon the
people who are sought to be thus
soothed to sleep. The people have
been sleeping too long, SO long that
they have few rights and privileges
left, so few that they hardly know
them themselves. All these years that
they have been asleep corporate power
and wealth. have grown grown in an
insiduous way, till the courts have
even been made an instrument to their
ends.
1t remains to be seen whether the
people, once having their eyes opened
will permit themselves soothed to sleep
by cajolery and sweet words from the
benefciaries of their wrongs.

A Democratic Platform.

Senator Raynor, of Maryland, recent
ly gave out an outline for Democratic
platform, which is good, as far as it
goes, but it does not go far enough.
The New York Sun thus summarizes
I the Senator's views:
The living issues which Mr.. Ray
s>nor points out are, first, revision of
the tariff; second, opposition to terri
torlal expansion; third opposition to
subsidies; fourth, executive usurpa-
riQn; fifth, the protection of the rights
Of the States. Eacn one of these is
sues Mr.. Raynor A'a>;;,sses The PEG
ple, he says, are tired of being robbed
by the Dingley tariff. The Democratic
tparty should take determined stand
upon this question. There will be no
party divisitl because of it, and 1t is
1s4au to be a paramount issue. The
party must meet the Protective League
with facts and proofs and figures and
not with glittering generalities. The
time has gone for discussing the gen.
eral policy of tariff reform.
The theory of states rights upon
which the Democrats should insists is
that each State should be permitted to
regulate its own internal affairs &C
cording to the guaranty of the consti-
tuition. The legislation embodied in
the interstate Commerce act and the
Sherman act Mr.. Raynor shows to be
Of Democratic origin, and the Demo
cratic party stands ready to enforce
those laws. Where the Federal Gov
eminent has constitutional power, let
1t exercise that power for the benefit
of the whole people But let it keep
7 its hands from those things which
2 have been reserved to the State and
which their own people can deal with
In a mannes more conducive to their
own environments"
AS we understand it, Senator Ray
ner is self-satisfied with the fact that
the law giving increased power to reg
kulats corporations and the trusts are
6f Democratic origin and would stand
pat on those propositions, that is, re-
main silent and say nothing; but
would emphasize the tariff and State
ksues. We believe both of these to
be Important; but under the circum-
stances, having made the fight soil
fary and alone for those policies adopt
ed by President Roosevelt that have
made him SO formidable in his own
party II not before the people of The
country regardless of politics, would
~ not be regarded. and rightly, SO, a
6owardly surrender of the most vital
Plapks Of the party's platform. if not

GIVE THE BOY A CHANCE.

We want to talk to you about yor
boy.
We win assume that he is, apparent
ly. an everyday, ordinary boy, with the
usual amount of spirits, mischief and
hard-headedness We will take for
granted that he has not always been
as good as he might have been, and
that you have been fortunate enough
to find this out. We will also suppose
that he is occasionally just about as
big handful as either you or his
mother care to contend with, and that
he has his share of ignorance and wis
dom, affection and temper, good and
bad.
We will agree chat he seems to have
in him the making of good average
man.
But what else has he? What else
lis inside of that head? What else is
hidden in the personality that looks
out of those eyes. What else is there
locked deep in that undeveloped brain
What else can those hands do some
day, those eyes perceive, that brain
crate?
All the human ability that there is,
or ever has been, or ever will be, may
be sleeping in the soul of that every
day boy.
We like to think Of this as the mir
