1T A REASONABLE REQUEST.

Publishers of weekly and daily papers.
and of magazines issued monthly, have
accepted the challenge inadvertently Is
sued by the postoff1ce department, and
ask that business methods be introduced
at least in that part of the public ser
vice.
In the report OF the postmaster gen.
eraI to the President. and by him trans
mitted to Congress, 1t is stated that it
costs nine cents pound to carry Sec
ond-class mail from New York TO Chi
cago. And the government gets one
cent a pound.
The publishers proceed to show that
the department could put its mail in
them from New York to Chicago in
Pullman cars at less than nine cents q
pound. 1t is more than full fare for a
human passenger.
Evidently the postoffice department
either went wrong in Its report to the
country. or 1t is time for the business
principles of all good publishing houses
to be adopted at the offices Of the de-
partment.
| We incline to the belief that It would
be best to reduce the workings Of the
department to careful and sensible sys-
tem-even IL 1t does mean the dismissa.
of some clerks who have been useful ir
times of campaign trial.

Membership.

Both churches have increased in
numbers, but the Catholic population
has grown more rapidly than has the
Protestant. In no period of ten years
hos the Catholic increase fallen below
four and four-tenths per cent and in
no similar period has the Protestant in
crease risen to that record.
In eighteen-fifty there were more
than three million Professionals in the
country, and fewer than a million Of
Catholics-less than a third. In nine
teen-six there were twenty million
Protestants, and twelve million Catho-
iics-more than a half.
Sixty years ago the Protestant
churches owned seventy-seven million
dollars worth of property, and the
Catholics nine million; about an eighth.
In nineteen-six the PrOtestants owned
nine hundred million dollars worth of
church property, and the Catholics al
most three million-nearly one-third.
1t is interesting to note where the
growth of each has been greatest; and
the following table will illustrate that
point:

NOT AN EQUITABLE
ARRANGEMENT.

One o. w. Mapes of Orange county,
New York, is father of new franchise
scheme. He looks over the world, and
observes the unrest in countries ruled
by representative government, and es-
peoially notes that women do not re-
gard themselves as enjoying all the
franchise rights to which they believe
themselves entitled. So this Mapes
person proposes that every married
woman be entitled to vote, But he
couples 1t with the provision that she
vote by proxy. And that her husband
be her proxy.
That might be an inducement for the
unmarried man-with bent for poll
tics-to get him a wife. But what in
ducement would 1t be for the woman
She would simply be doubling the i'm
portance of the husband. and would
have no more power to control him
than a state has to punish a Presi-
dental elector If he should vote contra
ry to the politics of the ticket on which
he was chosen.
Mr. Mapes has got his name in the
papers. Hereafter he will be forgotten
except by the women who would
rather have no ballot at all than one
which they could use only through the
fundamentally of a mere man.

danger which menaces our future. and
will spare US the misfortune and hu-
initiation of not having known, through
lack of prudence and patriotism. how
to preserve the sacred Independence of
our land, so as to transmit II intact to
our sons.
Which implies the view that Cuba

their own control than under the gov
eminent of the United States-which is
at least an open question.

Wherever in the United States rail-

and hotels, there will be found copies
of little publication called "Utah's
Fertile Valleys" the offering of the

fering with broken back, and the con-
sequent lack of coordination between
its extremities; but 1t is still singing
the praises of Utah.
The folder in question is handsome

NEW CAMPAIGN SONGS.

The Inter Ocean may be a little

but on the other hand it is as nearly
universal in it's scope as a poet could
be expected to prove himself. Here are
some of the slogans which that Chicago
paper uggests-leaving the music to be
provided by each of the several glee
clubs that may find the verse attrac-
tive:

Which shows 1t was revised
It's the jobs they want, the Jobs the:

Oh, who'll reduce the tariff?
The Democrats make answer:
I'VE will reduce the tariff,
And Just to give good measure,
We will reduce the country
To such a point its father
Would hardly recognize it!''
There is reason to believe that local
conditions in Utah might be celebrated
in a quatrain or two, and we await
with some interest the stirring of poesy
in the souls Of such patriotic political
people as may read the above lines
and try to improve on them.

THE REBELLION OF SENATOR
HEYBURN.

Washington dispatches convey the
interesting information that Senator
Hepburn has rebelled against the Unit
ed States. That is, to the extent of in
sisting that Idaho will administer its
own lands whether or not these are
within the government preserves. He
is especially strong in his denunciation
of the foresters, and the policy that has
been followed in the past, apparently
with authority from Mr.. Pinchot, the
head of that service.
Furthermore, Mr. Borah is inclined
with his colleague. Both agree that the
foresters have conducted their work in
a very high-handed manner, that they
have absolutely defied the laws of state
and nation in seizing property desired
for their own use, and in rulings which
affected the interests of stockmen and
other settlers.
And the careful reader Of the dis
patches is rather inclined TO admire the
secession of the. Idaho senators be-
cause OF the pFlinltiNe independence u
il. Reminded that the forest service
returns one-fourth of the proceeds from
timber cuttings to the state, Mr.. Hey
burn shouted:
THAT sounds like a chapter from the
life of Dick Turpin!"
For he holds that the state should
have the whole four quarters derived
from the sale of any timber in the state
and not a beggarly one-fourth of it
Upon which broad view hangs the
bigger question of all so-called public
land in the states. 1t is the opinion OF
some several capable men that these
government lands-in Utah, for exam
pIe-should be the property Of the state
That every acre OF 1t should be the abb
solute property Of the state within
boundary of which it is located. And
that, if such view We're accepted by
government, the western states would
so handle their heritage as to increase
in wealth and population much more
rapidly than they can possibly hope tc
do under conditions as they are now.

BUTTER AND oLEoMARGARINE.

Rather an interesting admission is
that of the Elgin board-of-trade men
who testified III Washington. 1t had
been noted that on the day the high
cost-of-living inquiry was provided for
the price of butter at Elgin dropped six
cents a pound; and there were people
who believed it a case of cause and
effect
But the Elgin man on the stand de-
clared the inquiry had nothing to do
with 1t; that people had begun to buy
and use oleomargarine to such All ex-
tent that butter accumulated. and the
only way to dispose Of II was to put 1t
on the market at reduced price. That
was done, and the butter was sold.
The Elgin man probably didn't intend
to make so strong case against him.
self. But there is the solution Of that
much of the problem Of costly living.
Butter has been protected from oleo-
margarine by laws that are both anus
ing and amazing. They are directed at
oleomargarine, and with the evident
purpose of forcing the people to buy
butter, no matter what the price.
Oleo has passed muster In the matter
OF pure food examinations. 1t is as
good and es healthy as is butter. And
when the lawmakers of the country ar
rive at reason in the matter, and repeal
the rules forbidding the coloring of
oleo that article will find It's way into
a use so general that the law-but-
tressed monopoly of the butter men
will fall.
And it ought to fall.

Value of church property.

udiced against the people whose inter
ests were not with those of the corpora
lions. The expression and comment are
meant to convey that the corporation
lawyer could not make dependable
counsel for the nation.
Which is a very indefensible view.
The lawyer who rises to a position
where corporations become his clients
has established-above almost every
thing else-the fact that he can be de-
pended on. He is absolutely reliable. He
is unequivocally true to his clients.
Now, in the very nature of things,
when he ceases TO serve one client and
takes employment with another, he
will be as true to that second as he was
to the first. That is the lawyer nature
and habit. 1t can be relied upon.

CUBA'S CHANCE FOR
INDEPENDENCE.

Senior Lendian has come to be recog-
nized as an authority on Cuban affairs;
and he is of opinion that the people of
the Gem of the Antilles are secure
in their independence so long as they
behave themselves. When they fail to
do that, in the judgment Of the writer
quoted, they will be annexed to the
United States whether or not they want
to. And $50 long as we do not make
trouble for 1t, or give cause for ac-
tion," the process of annexation will be
delayed.
Yet In the view of that and other
writer's delayed" is exactly the word.
