CHICAGO IS AHEAD
IN POSTAL RECEIPTS
Windy City Gets a Lead Over
New York During Month
of August.

WASHINGTON, Sept 12.-During Au-
gust. for the first time in the history OF
the postoffce department. the city OF CHI
cago surpassed the city OF New York in
the gross amount OF postal receipts
Last month its postal revenues aggre-
gated 81 ,666. .4S4. while the postal revenues
OF New York were s55.699 less The per-
centage of increase IN the revenues at
New York was 1l.64 compared with the
corresponding month of last year. against
1916 at Chicago.
Postofflce officials figure that the in"
creased revenues at Chicago were due
TO the very large mall order business.
The increase OF the postal business at
the fifty largest postoffces in the coun-
try was IL per cent better during Au-
gust than 1t was for the same month last
year, Only four OF the fifty cities indi-
Gated decreases for the month. They
were Buffalo 7.3s per cent. Seattle, 7.28
per cent; Des Moines. l.s9 per cent, and
Salt Lake City. 06l per cent

Angeles. 1873 per cent; Detroit 24.l9 per

TALKING Of VAGEL
FOR SUPREME COURT
President May Place His Secre-
tary of Commerce and Labor
on Highest Bench.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-The name Of
Charles Nagel. secretary Of commerce
and labor. has replaced that Of the late
Solicitor General Bowers In the gossip
OF Washington on the expected appoint
mcnts to the present and prospective
vacancies In the supreme court.
More than passing consideration is
given to the mention OF Mr.. Nagel. be-
cause he halls from the eighth circuit,
which, although It embraces thirteen
states west of the Mississippi. has been
without a representative on tbe supreme
bench since the death of Justice Brewer.
With the death OF Mr.. Bowers and the
supposed impracticability in existing cir
cumstances in the elevation of Judges
Sanborn, Vandeventer, Hook and Adams
OF the circuit court. all Of whom have
passed upon the pending Standard Oil
case. the rumors regarding Mr. Nagel
become decidedly worthy OF attention.
Halls From Missouri.
Secretary Naeel was born In Texas in
ls49. but has lived in Missouri nearly all
his life. Part of his education was re-
ceived in German universities. In the last
few years he has been prominent In poll
tics. having been an active member. Of the
NtDupllCdH 1OlHIilllkSS III Inc
campaign OF 1908. Before that he had
been n member of the Missouri legislature
and president Of the St. Louis city coun-
Gil. at times he has been mentioned for

prospective vacancy to be created by the
resignation of Justice Moody who is un
derstood to have decided to accept the
provisions of the recent congressional en-
actment, allowing him to retire on pen
sion on account OF Ill health. 1t would
still leave vacant the chief justiceship.
For this position, II is said. The president

ELIZA R. SNOW.

Eliza II. Snow was born in Beckett,
Berkshire county. Mass. Jan Il, 1904.
She was the daughter OF oliver and
Roxie l.. Pettibone Snow, who were
of English descent
Sister Eliza was tenderly raised, high
ly educated, and carefully trained in
the habits OF industry, economy and
strict morality. She received the best
school education the country then af-
forded. Miss Snow became ON expert
needlcwoman. She also excelled In
straw work Two years In succession
she drew the prize from the county fair
for the manufactured Leghorn. When
quito young sho attracted attention
with the productions OF her pen. and in
July, 1926. she was requested to write
a requiem on the death of Adams and
Jefferson. which occurred on the same
occasion. the Fourth of July. 1926
Tho death OF Adams. and especially
that OF Jefferson. whose work and chnr-
acter she admired exceedingly, gave a
theme well suited to tho lofty ideas
and patriotic spirit which always char
acterized her muse After the publi-
cation OF the poem she suddenly found
herself famous. which she would far
rather have avoided, her nature being
to shun notoriety, and not TO seek It
From this time Miss Snow was ushered
into the society of learned and dis
tlnEuished people, among whom were
noted scholars. especially theologians
and students of the Scriptures
Just at this time the principles Of
the Gospel as revealed to Joseph Smith
was brought to her by her mother and

AS TO FEDEnAn REGULATION

Under the federal Incorporation law.
II II shall be enacted. those business
corporations that cross the lines of
states are to be under the supervision
of the central government at Washing
ton in case they choose to come under
| the provisions OF the law
| Federal supervision is to be voluntary
| "a matter for each corporation to de-
| eide for itself. The invitation 10 come
under the provisions OF the law need
| not be accepted. and any corporation
| that chooses to decline TO come under
federal regulation can remain subject
as before TO the state laws only.
This voluntary feature of the pro-
posed law was inserted In order 10 al
lay the apprchenslons OF those who fear
the growing cncroachmcnts of the pow
or OF the central government upon
those of the States; but the PROPOSE
tion does not seem to have the effect
intended upon the minds of the anti
imperlallsts. Thus the Chicago Inter
Ocean believes that under such law
every man whose business goes over
state lines would be liable to have his
politics the subject OF concern To the
powers that be In Washington. unless
they be of the most neutral and color
less variety. And In emergencies
for tho powers that be-ho would 6c
likely to find that to be neutral may
also be offensive-to bring himself into
bad odor with tho powers that be IN
Washington, and that active support
of the powers is the price OF peace"
That paper does not believe that the
enrolment of corporations under the
law would be really voluntary. Each
one, 1t argues, would have TO come In
IF an interstate corporations rela-
tions with other corporations are In
any way intimate or even amlcable
there is the antitrust law. with lis
facilities for harassmcnt-even IL those
relations be wholly innoccnt-all really
TO be applied II the powers that be
deem 1t interesting OF convenient-to
them-that the invitation shall be az
copied"
1t must be admitted that these dan
gers do lnhcre in any plan for federal |
control of corporations. The laXlty or |
the Intellectual enforcement of state |
laws pertaining to corporations. may |
be held responsible for the fact that |
government regulation Is now immi-
nent. The people do desire the effective
control OF corporate activities; and If |
the States cannot or will not exercise
this function tho federal government
will do It.

Two days ago the country. and es-
pecially the south, took note of the
anniversary OF the birth of General
Robert E. Lee.
At the time of the surrender by Cen
eral Lee OF his army TO General Grant,
1t was spoken OF as a very Interesting,
and even dramatic. coincidence, that
the meeting between these two great
commanders should have taken place
In u house known as the Mclean
house. situated few hundred yards
west of AppomattoX courthouse. Tho
coincidence lay In the fact that four
years earlier the very thick of tho
first great battle of the war. that of
Bull Run. centered about the house
which the same Mr.. Mclean owned
and occupied at that time.
To many persons no doubt. this coin
cidcnce Is familiar history. but anoth-
er coincidence happened In the village
OF Appomattox courthouse on the day
believe, no public mention has been
made. The anccdotc was narrated to
me by Charles Hlx, owner of the apple
orchard in which was situated the
famous apple tree around which clus-
tered the myth that under IL Lee sur
rendered to Grant,
Mr.. HIx, In the summer OF 1851, took
mo to the orchard to show me the
great hole which was the only visible
evidence left of the site OF the famous
apple tree AS VIC were descending the
hill from Appomattox courthouse, TO
the little creek which rippled at the
foot of the old orchard, my host OF n
sudden stopped and pointed to a cot
tage that stood at the crest OF the hill
upon the lower slope OF which stood
the orchard.
