Schedule of Burlinoton.

Clinton. Sept. 3.-The Northwestern
and the Union Pacific have already de-
cided to meet the Burlington's Denver
time and there is a possibility that
these roads will try to make a further
cut in the schedule. The Rock Island,
which has a somewhat longer route to
Denver than the Burlington, is in doubt
what it will do. but its officials are
inclined to think that the reduction
of time of the evening trains will not
affect the business of their train, which
is a IT orning run out of Chicago. The
Rock Island, however. will undoubted
ly make a cut in time, but whether or
not it will be two hours remains to be
seen.

hsw They Should BE Written and Al.
dressed Correctly.
Women write on the first and third
pages of sheet of note paper, leaving
the second and fourth pages blank,
but in social life this practice is better
avoided. And postscripts are now
more honored in the breach than the
observance. A few people write their
initials or their name in full in the
corner of the envelope, but this Is
mere fad and too often serves as a con-
cession to curiosity. When a note Is
sent by hand that needs a reply, the
word Answer" should be written on
the top of the envelope, and mo an
swer' usually appears when no re
Spouse is required. please forward
is the correct term when letter may
have to be readdressed, and "Faire
suivre" is its French equivalent. When
a letter begins Dear Sir" or Madam"
the name Of the person addressed
must be written at the end of the let
ter, ITO John White, Esq.," ITO the
Manager Of the Chicago Telephone
Company" ITO the Editor Of the Chi
cago Tribune"
Notes Of invitation to luncheon
should be brief and couched in the
simplest terms available. The express
sion "Will you give us the pleasure Of
your company" sounds ont of date
and pretentious. The word lunch
con" must be used. as lunch belongs
to the list of what are termed second
rate expressions" A note to an init
mate friend might run thus: "Will you
and your husband luncheon with us
next Tuesday. the Sd. at 2 o'clock?
Hoping TO see you. | remain. yours
sincerely" etc. But IL the invitation
happens to be written TO some one less
well known the note might be worded
as follows: Dear Mrs. Martin, If you
have nothing better to do. will you
luncheon with us on Friday next, the
LIST, at las? Hoping to have the pleas
ure Of seeing you" etc. And If the
husband is invited he should be styled
"Mr. Martin"
In all cases where you are in doubt
It is better to err on the side of SIM
plicity. Everybody admires common
sense and directness Of expression, and.
regardless OF set forms. you cannot go
far wrong IL you say what there is to
be said In well chosen and simple

HOW TO KEEP A HORSE HAPPY
Prscticai Suggestions For Cold Wealth

er from Veterinary.
The great prevalence of diseases Of
the respiratory organs In horses every

tor, is largely due to the weakening Of
the system by sudden chills caused by
standing in rain or sleet. especially
when perspiring. and TO carelessness
In blanketing. Then comes the shock
Of the cold northwest storms frequent
In winter. when the temperature how
ers around zero. and In consequence
the animal becomes too feeble to resist
disease.
Be sure II your horse is stabbed In a
cold or drafty place that he Is well
blanketed. and there should be q
change of blankets, for to make him
stand under blanket which Is wet
either from sweat or from snow or
rain Is much worse than giving him no
blanket at all.
Blankets for street use should be
large enough to cover the horse from
neck TO tail and should come well
down all around, and chest pads are
Of great service. When the horse Is
making delivery trips with frequent
stops the blanket may be folded across
the withers when the animal Is In &C.

Coal delivery horses should be pro-
vided with blankets reaching nearly

The objects Of the immigration law
are manifestly good and are intended
to prevent the United States from be-
ing the dumping ground for the dis
eased and criminals and TO keep out
contract labor. The efficiency of the
law is not impaired by giving the inn
migrant a reasonable opportunity to
meet the challenge of his right to
enter. The trouble with the inspec-
tors appears to be that they have con-
sidered the measure of their efficiency
to be the number of people deported

cluded many worthy immigrants. The

methods, but for a just administration
of the inspectors duties in accordance

Ennalitv At the Customs House

Collector Loeb of the Port Of New
York has issued an order which will
commend itself to everybody, except
perhaps a limited few who think them
selves entitled to special privileges,
instructing customs officers to treat
every person coming from abroad
exactly the same. A custom of many
years standing permitted baggage Of
returning tourists of high standing to
pass through on the owners statement
and perfunctory examination. Recent
disclosures showed hat the govern
ment had been kept out of large
amounts of revenue by people who
would be shocked had anyone init
mated they were practising fraud.
No honest man or woman need be
offended at a critical examination of
baggage which the law prescribes and
any deviation from the practice is
contrary to the principle of equality
before the law. There is no legal pre-
sumption hat the rich tourist who
makes Europe every year is honest
and the one in moderate circumstance
who had taken the trip of a lifetime
is a smuggler. In fact, the record;
prove the contrary il they prove any.
thing. The result Of the reforms in,
stituted after the smuggling disclos
ures have more then doubled the Gus
toms revenues collected from the per
sonal baggage of returning traveller
and there is no "a of knowing how
much more has been collected by com
polling former professional smuggler

Finances of the Country Now In Nor.

San Franclsco Chronicle


Compared with the fever Of speculation
which existed in this country for two or
three years previous to October, 1907. our
commerce and industry cannot be called
active. Compared with conditions as they
were previous to 1900 they are very active
indeed. The business of the country is now
in a normal condition. which means thar
money is abundant and Forthcoming for iu
vestment for whose products there is an
existing demand, while there is much cav
toin in putting cash into enterprises whose
profits will depend on development yet to
be made. There is not much disposilion
on the part OF those who have money foo
expose it to any serious risk.
There is no question of a very laIE
legitimate demand for increased transpt.
tation facilities, and the railroads are show
ing their conviction that there is no reasu .
to expect lower prices by giving ver,
large orders for all kinds of equipment

other cereals may be crop record breakers.
While 1t is yet too early to Judge Of the

Bleached Flour Prosecutions.

An authority which is usually well
informed and accurate quotes Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wilson as stating
that he had instructed hts inspectors
to seize all bleached flour offered for
interstate shipment and to prosecute
the shippers. If the secretary has
taken the action indicated 1t will be a
surprise and a disappointment to the
millers in the winter wheat belt who
for some time have been trying to get
the validity of the secretary's ruling
into court where 1t could be tested.
Ordinarily the proceeding outlined by
the secretary would be the correct one
for intentional violaters of law, but
the bleached flour controversy is on
a different plane. There is no disposi-
ton to violate the law, but an honest
difference of opinion as TO what the
law is and no serious harm can come
by permitting trade to continue in
statu quo until the courts can settle
on the construction of the statute and
the validity of the 'secretary's ruling.
The interests involved are Immense
and the persons affected are many.
The millers deny that the bleaching of
winter wheat flour, is an ad~ulteration,
taking nothing of value from the pro-
duct and adding nothing harmful to
it. 1t renders 1t more attractive In
appearance and makes it bring a bet
ter price, enabling the winter wheat
miller to compete with the spring
wheat product. The contention of the
millers is sustained by the British gov
eminent experts and by American
chemists of high standing.
AS Nebraska produces about 49,
OOO, 900 bushels of winter wheat an
nually and Kansas a considerably
larger amount, the secretary's action
If he is correctly quoted, would have
far reaching effect. If Mr.. Wilson
simply desires to get a test case into
court as speedily as possible, he will
be In line with efforts the millers have
been making ever since Mr.. Wilson's
original ruling against bleaching wal

STARRING for an Opening.

Senator Cores suggestion that dem
ocrats permit anti-Cannon republicans
to be returned to congress unapposed
illustrates how Inherently weak the
democrats themselves know their posi-
ton to be. They are divided not only
in the degree of protection, but on
the basic principle of protection IT.
self. They have behind them a re-
cord of discredited issues which they
once proclaimed necessary to the sal
walton of the country, and ever pres
ent is a leadership which is distaste-
full to a large portion of the party. The
only possible object to be obtained by
the Gore plan would be to try to in
sert an element of discord in the re-
publican party which might permit the
democrats to slip in where the merits
of their own case would not avail.
The republicans, of course will not
object TO the democrats permitting a
lot of good republicans to return to
congress without opposition, but they
will not be deluded regarding the OBJ
ject of the proposal.
The suggestion Of Senator Gore,
however, brings out the pertinent ques-
ton what the Oklahoma senator would
do with the so-called Cannon demo-
Gratis in the house and the democratic
senators who worked for the same end
in a different manner. If these demo
Gratis were eliminated from the demo
cratic party it would cut a sorry fig
ure numerically in congress.
Another feature of Senator Cores
suggestion is not calculated to breed
harmony in his own party. Some
anti-Cannon republicans represent dis.
tricts containing aspiring democratic
statesmen who will not be Willingly

less happiness among the stockholders
than Washington feels in entertaining con-
gress during the usually dull summer
months. II makes life worth while under

dition Of the tariff hobby, happiness ra-
diates from the faces OF landlords as ge-
nially as morning sunshine. Since early in
March there has been a lobby in Wash
ington filling most Of the first class hotels.
A senator quoted by the Washington cor
respondent OF the Boston Transcript esti-
mated that 81. O0o.0e has been spent by this
lobby. "And Il ought to be said" conttn-
ued the senator, that the money such a
lobby spends does not go to corrupt con-
gress. There has not been a whisper Of
scandal in connection with the making OF
the tariff bill. The immense sum OF money
has gone for whs might be called 'edu-
c~tsional' work. The men who were sent
here by the protected interests came under
instructions to do everything possible to
convince members OF congress that this or
that should be done"
