STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Aug s.
Interesting figures on the probable en-

Up to the present time but 332 stu

portion is maintained there will be a

about 6 per cent.
On the other hand. while accurate

Postal Cards.

The postal card has been in use in this
country less than forty years, but it has
come into such general use that the gov
eminent has estimated the consumption
for the next four years at three and
one.half billions. Such figure is, OF
course, beyond all possibility Of com
prehension, but it indicates how useful
the simple postal card has been found to
be, and even this total does not include
the illustrated cards and the private
mailing cards upon which one affixes q
postage stamp when mailing them. II
is gratifying to learn that the govern
ment promises that theipostal cards of
the future shall be stronger, with a
better surface for writing upon with
pen and ink, than the cheap cards now
in use. At the same time they will be
lighter, consideration which is of con-
siderable consequence to the sgovern-
ment in its effort to make both ends of
the post Office department come some
where near meeting, although it is a
question whether the postoffice depart
ment should ever be made to be, self.
supporting. No one expects the army
or the navy departments to maintain
themselves, and the postal service is
certainly of far greater Importance to
the average citizen-at all events, in
the years when there is no war or ap-
prehension of any. The humble postal
card helps the government out not a
little in the way of receipts, but if it
did not do so, it is a convenience for
which the people are willing to pay,
and it is good news that we are to have
q card at last which will not "fuzz up"
the pen when one tries to write upon it.

New Cigarette Law.

Lansing, Mich, Sept. 16-while it
Is claimed that the new cigarette law
is defective in some particulars, it at
least has some redeeming features, and
chief among these is the fact that II
does prohibit the smoking Of cigarettes
in public places by young men under
the age of 81.
That one fact alone is wort good
deal. The smoking of coffin nails
by mature men is bad enough, but the
big percentage has been among boys,
and this clause should at leaet help to
clear up the atmosphere in public
places.
1t is also claimed that the sale of
tobacco" is not prohibited and that
is a weak point in the law. Tobacco
can be sold and the cigarettes made
the same as usual, but for all that,
there is still the provision prohibiting
those under 81 smoking cigarettes in
public places.
Even If the law is not what was
originally intended by the drafter, it
has at least accomplished some good,
and is well worth a place upon the
statute books.

The issue Of fifty million of the new
Hudson Fulton commemorative postage
stamps are being printed. The Post
office Department has ordered that none
of these stamps be sold to the public

their desire for the special stamps.
The new issue will only include the
2.cent stamps. In accordance with the
International Postal Union regulation,
they will be bright red. The design

When Congressman Fordney was in
Detroit Tuesday an interview with him
was printed in which he was misquot
cd. Expressing himself satisfied with
the work or congress and especially
as to the outcome of the tariff legisla'
ton, he said he thought the people OF
the Eighth district were also satisfied
with his course as their representative,
and he was chiefly concerned in that.
He was made to say that he did not
care what the rest of the state thought
about it, bat as matter of fact he
made no such expression and holds no
such sentiment, knowing that in the
large sense he is also a representative
of Michigan and responsible to the
whole people, especially in his capacity
as d member of the ways and means
and of the late conference committees.
