Postal pepartment RULINGS.

Sometimes rulings by postoffice de-
partment officials are beyond ordi-

sires to use but can not use unless
accompanied by the name of the writ
er as an evidence of good faith" and

Iowa Falls" letter addressed to
Box 80 comes back to the writer as
against ruling by the postofice de-
partment, notwithstanding the order
issued sometime ago to the effect that
all boxes must be numbered ON rural
delivery routes.
But, after all, the department is
right. We are inclined often to kick
when the exigencies of the service
have not been taken into considera
ton. The order numbering boxes was
mistake. In this western country
men shift places This farmer sells
to that. That renter gives way to this.
Mail would be irretrievably scattered
and lost, Moreover the mails would
be loaded with advertising mail adj
dressed to boxes, making carriers
simply bill posters for every handful,
catalogue and the kind issued for
whatever purpose. When the rulings
are considered one against the other
it merely shows that the department
corrected an error with the second
ruling.
The department makes many mis-
takes; but it corrects most of them.
Taken all in all it is a magnificent
/ service and one growing in usefulness
and efficiency. 1t needs some fixing
as regards its mail carrying contracts
and the national notions of some men
in high authority but the mail service
is one to praise and not to blame.

On Saturday the New York courts

On Saturday the New York courts
confirmed the injunction asked by
Wright brothers. aeroplanists, prohib
ting Paulhan, the FreFcaman now
using the biplane in a erica. It is
understood that Paulhan has cancelled
all engagements to fly as the result Of
this decision The penalty will amount
to about $4,000 a fight. The action of
the courts in this regard has put a
damper upon the new sport, which is
now bidding fair to become one of the
leading pastimes for those who have
the means and inclination to engage
In it, The Wright brothers have never
been inclined to engage in this as a
sport The only flights they have made
have been as governmental tests or
simply to give private exhibitions for
profit. The result of the case will
be watched with a great deal of inter.

One Cause Of Hioh Prices.

Cedar Rapids Republican In re-
counting all the causes for higher
prices, it may not be we'll to omit
that of speculation in lands. The
speculations of Wall street are mon
umental but they are hardly to be
compared with the speculations in
lands. The whole west, northwest
and southwest have been bought
and sold during the past ten years
and resold again Land that ten
years ago was bought in million
acre tracts for 81 or so an acre has
since been sold in eight-acre tracts
for S25 an acre. Millions of acres
have been bought by men who
are holding it for speculative pur-
poses, not for the purpose of ever
cultivating. But until they go down
there and cultivate the land it can
never be worth much more than the
price they paid for it. And they will
find. eventually, that many acres are
not capable of cultivation. This is
especially true of lands that have to
be irrigated but for which there is
NO water in sight.

the effect of the severe weather, for

Got His Deserts.

Waterloo Courier. A consuminate
story Of fragrant misconduct and fit
ing retribution is told in the account
OF the Cairo mob affair. A young
man, more culpabie because he was
the son of former mayor and eyi-
4 IDENTITY in a position TO know better.
assumed the leadership of crowd
/ of rowdies who were looking for
british pastime, and set out to wrest
! the public Jail from the custody of the
law, to seize a prisoner of the law and
/ do him to death. The prisoner chosen
4 for the fangs of this wolf pack had
/ been guilty of the comparatively trivial
l offense for severe punishment but
does not belong TO the assault and
murder class of crimes. The fact that
culprit was a negro does not add to
| the seriousness of the offense.
The DULLES led by their bully chief
surrounded the Jail in preparation for
the attack. They advanced. The
defenders fired over the heads of the
assailants. The assailants fired to
kill. The fire was returned and the
rowdy leader rolled over in the snow
MORALLY wounded and lay there
dying three hours. for the order of
the governor forbade that the court
house be approached on any pretext,
and the man was believed to be dead.
The others rowdies retired to saloons,
their natural habitat, attended to
their wounded and later being turned
out, dispersed
That's all there is to the story and
that's all there ever will be. The af-
fair has been squared. The man who
was killed got no more then he deser-
we'd. He not only worked on race
prejudice to get gang of brutes to
commit torture and murder but he
bore arms against the government,
an act which is the definition of trea-
son. He was guilty of the personal
perfidy of attempting murder and
anarchy under the cloak of gallantry
to women. The fellows who hang
around jails waiting for an excuse to
draw blood and take life are not the
women. They are the sort who come
home drunk and beat their wives.
The type il the same in every COM
munity.
And yet, in the late incident at
Cairo there is a reprimand to the
authorities of the law. The cases
against the leaders of the mob that
secured two victims few months
ago, were dismissed because the STAY
ers had killed nobody who was not
guilty of murder Thus the govern
ment of that community weakly gave
over its function to a gang of
outlaws. 1t thus legalized man.
ner of execution and fiendish dis
play of barbarism that would have
been disgrace to any government
since medieval times Therefore the
mob leader was not the only one upon
whom retribution fell heavy and ac-
curate on the night of February II.
The eowardly, fat-headed jury which
turned the murderous anarchists of
the former rot scot free is now af-
| forded the satisfaction of viewing the
fruits of its imbecility.
Retribution all around. Fate work

Honest Newspaperina Succeeds,

Mason City Globe Gazette: The
question is being raised in some quar-
tiers whether honest newspapers can
succeed. 1t seems to be prompted by
dyspepsia or course they can and
do, in increasing numbers; sensible
men in increasing numbers refuse to
load their minds with trash or to
wade through it when they can avoid
it. II is but passing wave of fool
ishness that many should buy some

which WAS not double strength what
