fancled improvement he has
made this government monopoly
more onerous and more odious.
1t benefits only the more pros,
porous class of business men,
who do not need government as.
sistance, and it also benefits the
printing firm in Dayton, O.,
who, having the government con.
tract, enjoy the unique advan-
tage of being the only printers
in the United States who can
have their output delivered free
of charge, no advertising bills to
pay and an unsalaried solicitor at
every postofice. This is a piece of
favoritism unwarranted by their
contract or the constitution of
the government under which we
all live-a government by the peO'
pie for the people. -
1t is probable that no small
part of the postal deficit is due to
this monopolistic solicitation and
free delivery of commercial print.
ing, 1t is unnecessary, as | have
shown, and it is grossly unfair.
1t is socialistic besides, this fur
nishing of a useful commodity at
terms that defy competition. 1t
began with free garden seed,
goes on to cheap envelopes and
will end where? Uncle Sam
might as well start to furnishing
our letter paper, our shoes and
our daily bread.
1t concerns the printer to make
a strong protest. Too long has
he endured imposition. Absorb.
ed in helping others, he las neg,
lected his own interests. He
saves others. Himself he has not
saved. 1t is time to change.
In the present instance the
only hope is an appeal to con.
gress to stop this unjust and un.
righteous competition. A bill
has now gone to the committee
on post-Ofices and post-roads
framed to meet this trouble.
Let us, both individually and as
an association, request our sena.
tors and representatives to work
and vote for this bill. Press as
sOciatiOns in other states are do.
ing this. By united effort we
can thus retire our government
competitor.

W. J. Pilkington, editor of a
trade paper, will take charge of
Decter, Iowa, a town of 800, and
run every business there for
six months. The experiment is
to show how the business of a
small town can be built up by
modern methods.

Unjust Competition.

by May f, Robinson, prepared for the Tn
Press Convention at Covington, and first
published by the American Press, New
York
When business gets dull in the
print shop and we go out to
drum up more work, what do we
find? That in the office of the
merchant, the lawyer, the physi.
clan, the banker, whoever buys
stationery in quantity, there Is
absolutely no sale for envelopes.
Each has bought from Uncle
Sam, for Uncle Sam can print
and deliver stamped envelopes
with a return card showing the
mans business and place of bust.
ness neatly printed in one corner
cheaper than printers can buy
the stock in case lots or carloads,
This the printer has endured
uncOmplainingly these many
years, But now the worm must
turn. The great United States,
through its postal department
and principally through it's third
assistant postmaster general, A.
T. LawShe, is adding insult to in.
jury by taking not only the old
business in return card printing
that comes it's way, but is reach.
out for new business.
General Lawshe is advertising.
He is usurping another preroga-
tive of the printer, one which the
printer reserves the right not to
do, and that is advertise. Gen.
eral Lawshe not only assumes
the right to do it, but does it. He
gets up attractive reading matter
about his specialty-stamped en-
velOpes with return card printing
and he uses the privilege of
free passage through the mails
in sending this matter to indi-
viduals, and he Deputies every
postmaster in the land to solicit
the work. Moreover, his argu-
ments are very speciOus. Many
of them apply to the utility of the
stamped envelope, of which there
is no question and which bust
ness men would buy and have
printed at home with better ad.
vertising matter if it were not
that Uncle Sam pleads so hard
and offers such inducements to
get the job.
General Lawshe says that the
dead letter office would be over
worked if Uncle Sam gave up re-
turn card printing. NOts so. Bust.
ness men would have the work
done at home. The majority of
dead letters are written by illit-
crates or by persons too elegant
to use ready stamped envelopes.
The buyers of stamped envel.
opes, except in quantities, are
those who buy two for a nickel
and rarely use the return blank
in the corner.
This enterprise of Mr.. LawShe
is a step too far. | dislike to say
anything against him, in view of
the fact that he has been great
benefactor to the country pub
fishers. He has saved us from
ourselves. By his famous ruling
he forced us to drop deadheads,
balance our ledgers and conduct
the newspaper business as it
should be conducted-in the sub,
scrlption department at least.

The Opening of New Markets.

We hear much of the impOr-
lance of Opening new markets for
American products. 1t is a great
conception. But why foreign
markets especially? Why not
the home market? Within these
States there are markets for
American products which are
far and away beyond comparison,
for eagerness, with the markets
of Asia or Africa or South
America.
PrOtectiOnists have had the
idea vaguely. They used to talk
and write crudely about the
home market" But they want
to make home market by en-
towering home producers to ex.
tort high prices from home con-
SumerS, and that is not opening
home markets for the general
good. 1t is exploiting home mar
ketS for the profit of a few. But
there is way of opening home
markets that would expand as
they we're supplied, and for the
good of all.
Think of the vast number of
families in this country who
squeeze through their house.

vast numbers who pull through

Afternoon.

f1ur the second time this season the
Allen Academy football team on last
Saturday put the grand ''Kibash" TO
the Houston High School team at
Houston TO the tune OF II to IL
The winning OF this game without
question makes Allen Academy the
state interscholastic champions. True
they have not defeated the Waco High
school. the game with that team being
a tie. but the many games played and
won, and the hard teams they have
been up against. entities them to the
championship.
OF the game at Houston the Hous-
ton Post says:
Ending with a score OF II 20 IL in
favor of Allen Academy. yesterdays
game between that team and the
Houston High school told the old. old

was very good for the class OF teams
represented. Allen Academy's team
work and more constant and steady
practice showed up with astonishing
regularity. The High school team
was composed OF players equally as
good. except In perhaps one or two
places but they lacked the consistency
and faith In their leader which would
have won the game for them.
Charley Hudson starred again for
Allen. proving the swiftest man on the
field. game player and brainy cap
tain. Wick at end and full. and Scale
at half played good game and good
ground gamers. Ross made his end
runs too long and lost ground several
times. Boehme. though fearless about
bucking the line. proved n bit slow.
Hamilton at end played good game.
Pritchett kicked some pretty punts |
and two field goals. proving himself |
a valuable and reliable man. The en-
tire line held well. not a creditable |
gain being made through them. Lyon
at center was as solid as a pile OF
first biscuit" The interference pre-
scented by the back field was an Inn
portant factor in winning the game"
on Friday next the Allen Academy
team win 40 to Waco and play Waco
High school on Saturday. The Eagle
learns that a special car will be at
tached to the regular train Friday and
the team will be accompanied by the
