PENNY POsTAGE.

A striking plea for universal penny
postage is made by Arved Juergen-
sohn, secretary of the Commercial
Treaties Union, in his book, welt
porto Reform" recently issued by
Berlin publishing house. Mr.. Juer-
gensohn advocates the extension to all
countries in the postal union of the
arrangement under which penny pos
tage has been esta blished throughout
the British Empire and between
Great Britain and the United States.
The prime motive which he assigns,
however, is not the mere cheapening
OF the mail service so as to encour-
age its wider use, but the conversion
of the entire postal territory of the
world into one domestic postal terri
tory, with one schedule of charges,
thus binding all nations postally to-
gether. promoting common speech
of commerce and encouraging union
and mutually the world over. 1t is
a praiseworthy intention that Mr..
Juergensohn 1arbors, and it is an
incontestably rational one, tending to
more convenient relations and more
cordial understanding among the
races. Ultimately, it may be predict
ed with certaintys its realization will
come. The good effects of the har-
monizing policy of the Postal Union
are well known and the broadening of
that policy is manifest desideratum.

JURORS AND NEWSPAPERS.

During the selection of jury in a
Missouri court a few days ago one of
the lawyers. with the evident purpose
of challenging, asked a venireman If
he had read accounts of the case in
the newspapers. The question is a
familiar one, and may be heard in
many courts when there is a criminal
case on trial that has aroused good
deal of interest in the community. The
Missouri judge in this instance would
not permit the venireman to answer
the question and turning to the law
yer said: Whats the difference If
he has read the newspapers? He'll
make the better Juryman. To say
that a man ought not to serve be-
cause he has read the newspaper ac-
count is saying in effect that jury
of intelligence is objected TO. That is
not justice; neither is it law
It sometimes occurs that jury of
intelligence is not wanted. A tricky
lawyer with a poor cause Will en-
deavor to get on the jury as many lg-
norant men as he can. because 1gnor-
ant men are the most easily moved by
specious pleadings. The position tax
en- by the Missouri judge might Wen
be assumed in other courts.-Savan-

THE CONFLICT OF

The average man will "jofly"

glances over her shoulder at that
Miss Slender. He would sooner
hold the hands of the latter in a
fatuous silence than really enjoy
himself with the other. Such is the
power of line. Just a line-from
chin to toe. or nape to heel-that'S
all. But it rings the merry mar
riage bell
Fat women should not repine-
but refine-their own lines by
means of that phenomenal-the
Marmola Tablet. No exercising or
dieting is necessary. Simply take
one tablet after each meal and at
bedtime, and in little while the

PORK HIGH IN CHICAGO.
Loins Retail at From "a to 26 Cents
Per Pound.

CHICAGO. September Fresh pork
loins were quoted by packers yesterday
at 1S cents a pound wholesale. which is
said TO be the highest price ever reached
in the history Of the pork packing indus
try at Chicago. Retail prices ranged
from "a to IS cents a pound. also estab-
fishing new high records.
Despite the high prices, managers of
the packers branch houses asserted that
they could not get all the pork lolns they
needed to meet the requirements of con-
sumers.
At IS cents a pound, fresh pork loins
are 2 cents higher than they were March
20, when live hogs sold on the Chicago
market at s11.2O, which was Sl.10 a hun
dred pounds higher than yesterday.
This disparity in prices was explained
by a wholesale butcher. who said the
scarcity of light hogs rather than their
intrinsic value was responsible for the
recent big jumps made in prices for loins.

here and play the preliminary round. ana
the British team had already begun TO
prepare for the trip.
II appears that the whole thing hinged
on the action of T. G. Bundy Of Califor-

Perhaps the situation would have come
| to a head a little sooner. but an answer
could not be had from Bundy. After the
conclusion OF the Newport tournament he
headed for the Pacific coast, but he did
a little stopping off and even played at a
couple of tournaments. He was found at

1t Is not known what the Englismmen

America has withdrawn they have the
option of going to Australia to play the
challenge round. Some time ago the
