CHANGE COLOR OF STAMPS.
Report That Federal Authorities Will
Change the Color of Stamps to
Avoid SO Many Mistakes.

Because of the confusion fire.
quently resulting from the printing
of stamps on similarly colored pa
per, the authorities at Washington
are seriously considering the adop-
ton of paper of other colors so that
they may be, kept more distinct in
the minds of the people.
The difficulty experienced hereto
fore has been due to the lack of suf-
ficient strongly contrasting colors for
so many denominations. This has
made it necessary to use inks of
different shades of the same colors.
The result is that the 1-cent green
stamp is confused with the Scent
olive, the Scent purple with the s.
cent lavender, the scent dark blue
with the 15-cent light blue, and the
6-cent orange with the Decent yell
low. 1t is believed the use of color
ed paper will make the stamps read
lily distinguishable, under artificial
as well as natural light.
In pursuance will be printed the
10-cent stamp experimentally in a
rich brown ink on yellow paper.

"Boosting a Town Into Prosperity.

boosting Town Into Prosperity"
Everybody has been watching with
interest the experiment that is being
tried in the little town of Dexter, 80
miles from Des Moines. The mer-
chants of the town consented to let
w. j. Pinkington, editor of the Mer-
chants Trade Journal of Des Moines,
take charge of their town from June
LIST to January 1st. Mr.. Pinkington
believed that in that time he could
show them that the reason they were
not prospecting like the mail order
houses, was that the merchants did
not know how to advertise. This
was true of all towns of this class.
He is more than succeeding. The
merchants never saw such a home
trade before. During the month of
October one merchants business in
creased 129 per cent, another 60 per
cent and so on, over that of year
ago. Other towns are trying the
same plan with success. Mr.. Pinking-
tons contention that "the mail or
der business is not built on superior
goods, superior facilities for serving
the trade, or superior advantages in
any other line but in the superior
genius of the "ad" writer that took
advantage of every weakness of hui
man nature to be lured on to letting
go of the almighty dollar" seems
to be proved.-Ex.

what's in a Name?

Those who knew the late Russell
Sage personally feel quite sure that
he would not have died had he known
what use his widow would make of
the millions which he accumulated
during his lifetime by lending money
at usurious rates. Her gifts to char
ity have been numerous since she
became widow, and for that she de.
serves credit. Her husband, it is true
would never have thought of doing
such a thing, but, for the sake of ap-
pearances, he probably would have
acqufesced in his wife's extravaganza
and evened things UP by charging a
little higher rate of interest on his
loans. But, it is safe to say, he would
never have consented to Mrs. Sage's
latest use of his hard earned" money
the. expenditure of nearly a quarter OF
million dollars for the purpose oil
distributing $50 copies of the history
of her made-to-order genealogy of her
and her husbands families among as
many schools.
what vain thing to do! For the
$500 which each copy cost she might
have purchased handsome little Ii
brary for each one of the schools
Such gift would have been useful and
beneficial. Even if she had used the
money to distribute Christmas candy
among the school children it would
have been better object for the ex
penditure of money than to distribute
genealogies of the Sage and Slocum
families, worthless and uninterestins
works of fiction which nobody cares t.
have or even to look at.

How Tariff Laws Are Made.

Chicago News: Dr. J. J. Orion of
New York, in a paper read in Balti-
more before the American Association
for the Advancement of Science, at
tempted to throw light on how tariff
laws are made. He said it was COM
mon gossip in Washington that large
proportion of the members of the
house committee on ways and means
We're pecuniarily interested in particu-
lar schedules, some in one and some
in others. He gave two specific in
stances in support of what he said.
The theory of protection has been
accepted by the majority of the Amer
lean people as sound, but the actual
practice in making tariff laws often is
very Objectionable. 1t is contrary TO
all notions of correct public policy
that interested persons should frame
particular tariff schedules to their own
liking. The evil becomes many times
worse when a group of interested per-
sons unite to put through measure
that gives to each what he especially
desires, which no proper scrutiny by
any one as to the effect of the SEIZED
ules upon the public welfare.
If it is to frame a tariff measure
that shall prove even moderately sat
isfactory to the nation, congress must
make provision for disinterested ex-
pert advice to guide it and the public.
