A NEW CRIME IN THE CATALOGUE,

The congressional agents for the railroads. who aspire
to control the newspapers and magazines of the country
propose in their postal law to rgidy limit the amount
OF advertising which periodical may print.
This means that these congressional agents for the
railroads and editors nchef Of the periodical press have
little for the general business interests of the
county at large they have for the business interests
Iof the postofice department.
While permitting the railroads rob the department
through exorbtant rates for transporting the mails they
are ready to restrict the business of the country in
their right to promote business
Advertising has become the ifeblood of business. To
arbitrarily restrict it is to arrest commercial development
The average manufacturer merchant who does bust
ness honestly whose goods depend upon their wide
ly known, wants all the publicity he getindeed it
as necessary to the expansion of his business sunlight
is to the growth of plant.
And it is this average business man. who is the bone
and snew of the countrys trade who wants many peo
ple possible to know his methods and appreciate them
BIT is this man whom this law restricting advers-
ing will hit in a vital spot.
Can there be even suggestion of sense in such
regulation?
is this the way to encourage business men who are
building this country by promoting the distribution of
products?
So long the postal committees of congress are I'M
able to put the posofce itself business basis would
1t not be well for them to keep their hands off the private
affairs of the countrys successful business men?

Special Correspondence to The Press
NEW BRITAIN, Conn, Feb. 90
VIM. F. Walker had been known for
years as the Model Man" Now he
is missing from his modest home,
from his church associations and

knew him as the Model Man"
The Model Man" is now the best

The Savings Bank of New
Britain, of which Walker was
treasurer, is short 1855 900, and the
Connecticut Baptist convention is

In the estimation of his towns
men Walker was of a modest and
saving disposition. This inspired
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1907-02-26

their implicit trust in him. The
New England conception of thrift
was believed to be his fixed finan-
cial principle.
Walker lived in a small house,
and his tastes were never expen-
sive. He appeared always to live
within small income. 1t was
known that his income was large,
however, and the belief about New
Britain was that he saved it. -
Every detail of his life was gov
erned by regularity and punctual-
ity He always left his home at a
certain hour and arrived at the
bank at the same time every day,
rain or shine. In fact, it was a COM
mon saying in New Britain that you
could set your watch by Walker.
