"A constitutional convention Is a

Depression In Iron.

For the first time in more than two
years really serious doubts are enter
tanned as to the future of the iron and
steel trade. Beginning with sudden
revival late in 1904 from the depression
which began in the latter part of 1908,
says the Iron Trade Review, the iron
and steel trade has had period OF
prosperity which it Is not straining the
point to say has never been equaled.
Early in this period there were some
doubts as to the genuineness of the
movement, but soon all doubts Were
dispelied At no time in 1905 was
there serious question as to the future,
and in 1906 there was hesitancy only
for a brief spell during the second
quarter, when some southern iron pro-
ducers saw fit to sell iron into the fu-
ture at as low as $13.
The situation now is radically differ.
ent. For two months all iron and steel
markets have been very quiet. The
contrast with the corresponding period
of last year is most marked.

A Pointer'From Mexico.

The people of Mexico propose to cele-
brate the centennial of the revolution
which ended in the establishment Of q
republic in a way that should make us
sit up and listen. The plan is to in
augurate public Improvements in every
town and have the towns finish them
within the centennial year if possible.
As a result the centennial will bring in
to existence streets, avenues. drives,
parks, gardens, schools, libraries, foun-
tains, water systems and public build
ings to commemorate historic event.
Some communities this side of the
line can take off their hats to the Next
cans. half civilized though they are sup
posed to be. Our centennials are of
ten remembered only for the noise, the
parade and the number of strangers
enticed to the show. Exhibition fea-
lures have been so often displayed that
they have ceased to be novel or instruc-
tive. The fairs are merely huge shows
or carnivals, forgotten at the end of q
year. A centennial on the Mexican
plan brings about results appealing to
civic pride and yielding enjoyment for
the generation living and the genera
tons to follow.

s181kD On Valuable MAIL
he proposed reforms BY Postmaster
General Meyer, together with the 90
casional straying o. total loss d man
pouches, make timely the information
that the United States government by
no manner OF means stands liable for
all losses suffered By patrons Of tho
mails. It is only fair to say that when
It comes to the transportation Of valua-
bles the express companies have Z
much cheaper and safer service. The
express company gives receipt with
a guarantee limiting the amount OF
guarantee by the amount Of charges
paid. In case OF registered packages
the government does agree to make
good loss up to $25 in case the sender
of the lost package proves that amount
OF value. Under certain conditions the
guarantee may be raised to 500, but
much formality is required, and In view
of the rates Of postage on parcels
namely, 16 cents per pound. or GA cents
for four pound package-the advan-
tage seems in the long run to be with
the express companies.
Registered mail is cheap, and where
proTEpt delivery as well as security is
desired both ends are often attained by
patronizing this service. In the case
of ordinary mail the government as
sumes no responsibility whatever. A
letter dropped into box or slot is
intrusted to the service without condi-
ton or obligation. For the postage
paid the United States undertakes to
transport the packet to its destination
and to deliver it into the hands Of the
addressee or his agent. If losses occur
through railroad wrecks or dishonesty
the sender, suffers. Nevertheless the
percentage Of loss is remarkably small
Considering the vast volume Of mai
handled by the United States govern
ment in the course of year the sender
is virtually guaranteed against loss

money to the ordinary service. and he

water for the use of the city for fire
