OF ANONYMITY,

To sign, or not to sign? Whether il
were better that all contributions to
publications should have Tom, Dicl,
Harry or So and So attached to them
or whether the arguments should be
udged entirely on their own merit, or
lack of it? That is the question. AHd
it is still an open question despite the
fact that anonymity has been inteli-
gently discussed many times in several
of the leading journals of past and pres
ent times. A denial of the right to
submit an idea unsigned has been given
in forty lines; conclusive argument
favoring the personal choice in the mat
ter could well cover much more space
than can be secured for publication in
the chosen means for communication.
Undoubtedly all editors would prefer
that every article should be fully signed,
but there are a few who see no necessity
for a rigid attitude in regard to the
question. And surely but few editors,
with prestige to lose, would risk the
statement that "The value of an article
is lost where no name is signed" The
average pablisher ifs well read man,
able to readily recall to mind the M
signed articles that actually caused the
adoption of our Constitution. Many
minor instances of like nature could
be submitted if necessary. And it is
safe to venture the assertion that the
most embittered and abusive attack M
on any institution or person could be
Published without injury to anyone bat
the luckless being who could so expose
his own infrmity. We should not IN
der any circumstance leave the large
measure of intelligence present in every
community, out of the estimrte of the
risk of publishing every readable article
to be submitted.
The people of today do not really need
the protection of censorship i'll any shape
or form, and this is fully proven by the
conservative disposition of the majority. |
giving due measure of attention to
every matter of interest; and that which
Is not interesting is harmless if it does
ma Its way to the ear of the people.
Now as to prestige. Is it not fac, +
That many men, famous because of some
good things said, have stopped to "play
politics y? Could there be more repre-
hensible misuse of talent than such ex-
ploitation of the faith of the generous
and credulous admirers of a name?
In defence of anonymity be it said
there are many people who shrink from
the notice accorded resident contribu-
tor to village newspaper; aud such are
neither conscious of fear, nor desilous
OF favor, being more Interested in THEN
true purpose than in the regard of the
public eye, favorable or otherwise. And
also there are those who would have
Their asinine remarks signed with dis
play type if they could but accomplish
distinction. Let all who wish to relieve
their mind have the chance in accord
a"ce with the thoroughly just proyi-
SONS OF our Magma Charta, since it
would please many and harm nobody.
whether such articles were neither boost
ed' nor handicapped, so to speak, with
signature.

TO TRY GREATER COKE CARS
Pennsy Experimenting With a New
Design Of Carrier.

On account OF the increased coke traf-
nc the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
is experimenting with a new design of
coke cars OF greater capacity. The Penn
sylvania has completed a new type OF all
steel coke cars with solid steel walls, doing
away entirely with the wire mesh. It's
capacity is 10000. pounds. which is the
largest Of any car yet built. The principal
change from previous styles of construc-
ton IS that the car has four hoppers in
the bottom. which make II easy 70 unload
and also make the c3r seif-cleaning.
The dropping OF these hoppers thor
oughly removes al small coke particles,
dumping the load completely. The sides
Of the car are not as high as I'm previous
designs and the officials claim this will be
a great advantage in loading. This ts
made up for by the greater length. the
car being a feet long

dured the hardships OF making the path
