A CREED.

The following, under Il. e title
of "My Creed" is being sent
out promisciously at present.
It is a good creed, not only for
the holidays but for all time,
and if followed concientiously
should pay enormous dividends
during the course of a single
life time:
Do not keep the alabaster
boxes of your love and tender.
ness sealed up until your
friends are dead. Fill their
lives with sweetness. Speak
approving, cheering words
while their ears can hear them;
the kind things you mean to
say when they are gone, say
before they go. The flowers
you mean TO send for their
collins, send to brighten and
sweeten their homes before
they leave them. If my friends
have alabaster boxes laid away,
full of fragrant perfumes of
sympathy and affection. which
| they intend to break over nv
dead body. would rather they
would bring them out in my
weary and troubled hours, and
open them, that L may be re-
freshed and cheered by theu
while [ need them. [ would
rather have plain coffin with.
out flower. funeral without
All eulogy, than life without
the sweetness of love and SYM
pathy. Let us learn to anoint
our friends beforehand for their
burial. Flowers on the coffin
cast no fragrance backward
over life's weary way.

The Times Record is ..ow in
formed by one who is supposed
to know that Senator 2. I. PIC
Cunber was the author of the
present abortive primary law.
1t sounds plausible. The man
who could advocate that repre-
sentation should be based on
interests and not OH the popu-
lation, would be of the right
temperament to provide for a
secret ballot in a representa-
tive body and that the state
central committee should fill
out all county delegations.

TREASON!

moner: Some moons since
we heard much of fiat money
and imitation. Who is bowling
for fiat money and initiation
now? Where was restored con-
hdence when money was at ST.

not careful!

CLIPPINGS.

n town that never has any
thing to do in a public way is
on the way to the cemetery.
Any citizen who will do moth
ing for his town is helping to
dig the grave. A man who
curses the town furnishes the
coffin. The man who is so sell
fish as to have no time from
his own business to give the
city affairs is making the
shroud The man who will not
advertise drives the hearse.
The man who is always pulling
back from any public enterprise
throws bouquets on the grave.
The man who is so stingy as to
be bowling hard times breaches
the funeral sermon. The man
who is continually knocking
against municipal improve
tnent sings the doxoiogy and
thus the town lies buried from
all care and sorrow.

The lower house of congress
has voted to increase the sal
airy of the vice. president,
speaker and members OF the
cabinet to $4,000 a year. An
attempt was made at the same
time to raise the salaries of
congressman from $1,000 to 81,
800 a year, to take effect in 1909
but it failed. Now if Editor
Forman can get the Globe and

The draymen of the city say
that the receipts of whiskey by
the barrel aud beer by the car
load never we're so large as in
the past two weeks, several
carloads of the latter having
been received in the past few
days. In addition to these
items vast quantities of wines
have been shipped in and de-
livered to the various booze
emporiums. 1t is encouraging
to know that there is no danger
of drought in the immediate
future.

MADDEN's DISCRIMINATION
Believes in Bleeding the public
in Behalf Of Railroads.

in Behalf Of Railroads.
Assistant Post Master Gen.
eral Madden declares that pub
fishers are subsidized" becauAe
they pay the government only
one cent a pound, whereas the
government pays for the mere
railroad haul on second class
mail five cents a pound, be-
sides two cents more for "dis-
tribution."
IF so who is subsidized, in
view of the fact that express
companies solicit the business
of hauling second class mail
matter at the following rates,
100 miles at quarter of a cent.
$50 miles at half cent.
500 miles at one cent.
These are the general express
rates, and as the express COM
panies are private business
enterprises they make a profit
at these rates after paying the
railroad companies.
1t looks as though the rail-
roads were the ones that got
the subsidy-the graft. Eth!
The average distance that
second class mail matter is
hauled is 300 miles; hence at
express rates the average cost
of the railroad haul is only
HALF \ CENT pound.
Why then should the govern
ment pay the railroads five
cents for identically the same
service that the same railroads
give to express companies at
half cent a pound? Why
should the government pay ten
times as much as a private cor
poration pays? y
But in some cases even the
above express rates are beaten.
The American News company
gets newspapers and magazines
hauled by express from New
York aud Boston at one-fifth of
a cent a pound!
Yet the Third Assistant Post
Master General, Mr.. Madden,
SAYS publishers are recipients
of subsidy because they pay
the government only five times
as much per pound as the
American News company pays
express companies.
Now, if members of congress
would turn their attention to
the "subsidies" that congress
allows the postoffice depart.
ment to pay the railroads, there
would be no deficit, but there
would be surplus instead.
