THE COST OF MAIL SERVICE.

The opponents of the administration never quit making false statements with regard to its ways of doing bus mess, the lavish way in which 1t deals with corporations and trusts when in fact, 1t does business with them just as others do.
 The statement having been made at the west that the postoffice depa-,men paid for every postal car of the railway service, whether it stood in the yard or was attached to a train, wLs re- futed by the Kansas City Journal which took railroad where the lie originated and showed that this road received $2S,0S2.s4 for it's full years service; that it used on the route 672 t2ain miles a day and that tho rate of compensation was 11.44 cents Ter mile for the use of travelirs g postoffice cars or parts of cars and for the ton mage of mails carried, both in such cars and in baggage cars. The travel of postal clerks assigned on thIs route or off duty is not paid for, anI a rail- read company receives no rompensa- tion whatever for the. trans portation of mails except that fixed by the post office department at the time tIe aver age weights are determined, and T railroad company receives no pay for the railway postoffice cars furnished and hauled except when they are moved at the direction of the depart ment and in accordance with the terms of the contract or under the require ments of the postal laws or regula- tions.
 It was also found hy comparison that the free rural delivery service in this same section costs II cents for each mile of travel over pun'ie roads and of the two is the larger award in contrast with the service lone.
 The fact is, the government drives close bargains in it's contracts ard is not wasting the public funds. as fre- quently charged, in any lectian.

HOLDS TURKS WHITE,
 NOT MoNGoLIANs.
Smithsonian Institution Experts Deny That the People of the Ottoman
 Empire Arc Yellow.

The question of granting naturaliza- tion to Turkish subjects, the state de- partment holds, is for the determina- tion of competent courts. The bureau of naturalization of the department of commerce and labor has declared that Turkish subjects are. not entitled to naturalization, because they are yell low, not white.
 According to the view held by the race experts of the Smithsonian insti- tuition, the Syrians, a large portion of the Armenians, the Arabs, Semitics and dwellers of Northern Africa, such as the Egyptians notwithstanding the fact that the hot sun in that climate has tanned their skins, are as much a part of the white race as any blond white man can be.
 Dr. Justin s. Kirreh of New York, who has been upturning every avail able stone in Washington recently in his effort to overthrow the naturaliza- tion ruling. says that Dr. A. Hrdlicka of the institutions division of physical anthropology has informed him that so far were the Syrians from being of the yellow race that they never had any dealings or connection whatsoever with the Mongols, and that every history would sustain that contention.-New York Herald

1 THE AIR-LoRps.

We have not completely awakened to the fact that the era has dawned when the air-lords may lord it over the landlords. While the legal points are being discussed by the Aero club of America, the air-ships and air-lords and the air-lanes have got into the up to date novel. and the issues there- in are thus summed up by one of the characters in a court case:
 How I am damnifed," says he, "by the airship, which may drop a mon- key wrench, a spanner, a gob of bal last or casual remark into my priva- cy? Like other highways, the air will be infested by accidents and col lisions. Aeronefs will fall into the rural silo, drag-ropes will rip up barb wire, and Pyramus and Thisbe, in their Areadian wooings, may be smothered by falling gas bags, or torn asunder by dragging anchors. inserted in their pancreases! I shudder, your honors at what may. happen when the air is populous with flying -jiggers, pop-pop- ping about, raining ballast, and wine bottles, and bacon rinds, and stale ba- nanas, and hot coffee, and soft-boiled eggs, and lobster a la Newburg on a lost and undone republic!"
 This is very well put. What may happen when the air-lords sail over landlords has not been fittingly con sidered yet. When the air-lanes are all open for business who can tell what the perils may be to those who can only stand and look up?

If frequent nautical ub- servations could be made between April and April ', it is pretty cer- tain that the sun was not altogether obscured in the middle of all the nights, and 1t is certain that it was slowly rising from total obscuration on the early date to clear daylight on the seventh of April"
 pr. Cook has never exhibited any signs of foolishness; and to say that he would prepare anything as flinsy as Admiral Chester says this is tt fool the experts of the geogra phical societies of the world would be about equivalent to writing him down as an idiot. If he has made these mis- takes, the experts of the Danish Geo graphical society will not fail to dis. cover them, or to give both Cook and Peary exactly what is due to each. The public can afford to wait before it comes to a final conclusion.

The Charms of Rird.Lore.

Ostentatious in his love- making, his nest-building, and the rearing of his young, he has doubtless offered to many dweller in the tenements their only glimpse into the charms of bird- lore. How many back tin roof is the eagely watched feeding ground of the sparrows? How many a helpless baby bird, fallen prematurely to the pavement, has been to some boy of the alley a first pet to awaken the germs of sympathy and protection? While standing on a street corner one gusty April morning, my attention was at tracted by the watchman of a half completed building, who from his tiny cabin was tossing fragments of cot ton out upon the wind. Following them in their course. I soon observed that they were all snatched ere they reached the ground by English spar rows, who bore them off triumphant to their nests. In the conversation that ensued, I learned that the man had a keen interest in the birds, and by reason of his intelligent attention to their wants was enabled to over come the dreariness of his task in a broader enjoyment of life.-Clihton C..

THE APPLE BELT.

We hear a great deal about the np- pie belt of the southwest and the northwest of the orchard land which brings $700 an acre and We soc rhe handsome apples in the marke. which bring $3.25 per bushel hex and we gre so impressed that we think that Con- necticut is outclassed Tn apple grow ing because we are unaware that this state took first premiums for the four standard apples growE III this country at the recent exhibition of apples made at Boston.
 MT. J. H. Hale. the famous peach grower of South Glastonbury, Is au- thority for the statement that there is no apple land equal to the orchard land of New England, aud that better fruit growing land is being soli here for $50 an acre than is sold for $700 an acre in the Hood river valley of Ore- gon where New Enslaul capital is really seeking investment. ard wbi.e tie western fruit is ;arge and hand England grown apples have.
 No live fruit grower should fail t, read MT. Hale's addrsss delivered be- fore the Connecticut sta,e board O. trade at New Haven and printed in the last issue of the Connecticut Farmer, for he shows that with pains taking labor New England can recover her own markets from the western apple-growers who cultivate their or chards and faithfully spray their trees. He cites where one orchardist this year received $54 a tree for Baldwin apples which had grown upon trees that had been properly taken care of.
 Apples from old, unpfuned, pest-in- fected orchards are what in these days disgrace our markets.

Advice Too General.

Of late there has been a flood of ad- vice to young men as to what they should do for occupation. The presi- dent while in Mississippi urged young men te take up farming as a business. The trouble with that sort of advice is that it Is altogether too general. It would hardly be taken seriously if the men were advised wholesale to engage in the grocery business or plumbing or dry goods or manufacturing, but when directed to agriculture 1t somehow seems different Men who are fitted for farming can undoubtedly make a success of it, but it must be remem- bered that such success demands above all else a sufficient working capital, familiarity with business methods, abil- ity to direct others, lots of hard work and a practical knowledge of agricul- ture. Even then there will be as many disappointments as in any other mer- cantile or business undertaking.-Bri tol Press.

One is a reproduction of a pho tograph of a group of boys at the Baltimore playground, underneath which 1t is stated that "$1 pays for one child for six weeks" The other shows group of prison cells, with the statement that each inmate of these cells costs the state $50 a week" It does not follow that the cells would remain empty if all the boys running wild in Baltimore were frequenters of the playgrounds, but it undoubtedly is true that the $1 per boy for six weeks expended on the playgrounds will save the state many a s2.50 per week for occupants of such cells, Healthful recreation amidst good surroundings will do much to develop manliness and bring out boys better qualities and this is what the public pray grounds are accomplishing in many cities.-Springfield Union.

 Now we hear that the New London Salvation Army wagon makes weekly trips to Norwich for the very same errand which does not seem just, since Norwich has its own Salvation Army and needs all that it has to aid its own unfortunates. Let New Lon don people help their Salvation Army.

NOT PROVEN.

When Rear Admiral Colby M. Ches- ter, e sub b-comn1itteeman of the ex- perts who pronounced favorably upon the claims of Commander Peary as a discoverer of the North pole. voluntsr- fly assaults Dr. Cook and publicly denounces him as a deliberate faker, his pretence of friendship for the ex- plorer falls to the ground, and under his declarations his charge that the doctor is deliberate faker is over turned. He takes Dr. Cooks story as he tells it and says:
 Tn his narrative Dr. Cook, after assuming that on April ', 1908, he was as far north as s6 degrees 2s minutes, bases his claim of reaching the pole on an average daily journey of some fourteen miles day for fourteen days. As matter of fact, he would have had 10 go forty miles a day In order to cover the distance from his real To- cation, according to the Nautical AL rnanae, to the pole.
 Following Dr. Cooks first state rnent concerning his journey, Prof. J. N. Stockwell of Cleveland showed that if his supposed latitude were correct Dr. Cook ought to have seen the mid night sun above the horizon on April l. Dr. Cooks own account fixed this date at April 2. In trying to account for this discrepancy Dr. Cook stated that he did not say that the sun was on the horizon at the time specified, and that there were many days in which the sun was aobscured by cloud. The inference drawn from the denial was that on any of the preceding seg- on days the midnight sun might have been seen above the horizon if the weather had been clear.
 "But in his later and fuller nara tive, Dr. Cook specifically stated that 'on April 3 the barometer remained steady; the weather became settieI and clear; at noon now there was d dazsling light. while the sun at mid might sank but for g few minutes, leaving the frosted blue bathed in monday splendor' Of the weather be- tween these two dates he wrote, There was at no time a perfectly clear horizon, but the weather was

sessed at half it's value, and the tax rate doubled? Does it make any dif- ference? It is just as broad as it is long. "Curtail the expenses" You cannot do it so long as the debt in- creases three times as fast as the ability to meet it. To stop the in crease of taxation (every taxpayer would like to see it done) you must stop the increase of expenses, this can only be done by stopping the increase of debt, and this only by changing the system of supplying the people with money (which they are obliged to have with which to pay these taxes) from corporations to congress. This is a debt-creating system, in active opera ton, every business day in the year. This system is the parent of the pres ent and increasing debt. It takes three-fifths Of the wealth produced to support 1t. An expensive and unnec- essary luxury.
