ans a fiat rate of 1 cent a mile.
Robert L. Study, who was in the

had completed his school work, solic-
tied his support. Mr.. Study received
the following letter from Ketcham this

great many use it who are not entitled to do so, for the simple reason that 1t acts as q great help in obtaining subscriptions. Except in one or two glaring instances of misappropriation of the prefix no trouble was taken in the late reign to in- vestigate the rights of any society or in- stitote to style itself royal" and num- befs of societies availed themselves of this state of affairs to do so without proper authority, but under the new reg ulations they will no longer be able to do so; already one institution has been per emptorily ordered to cease designating itself royal and as a result several others, not entitled to use the prefix, have voluntarily dropped it.
 In one case that recently came to light 1t was ascertained that society which existed practically for pushing the sale of Q certain American patent medicine de- scribed itself as Royal on it's circulars, though 1t carefully refrained from doing so more openly. In future, no society not registered as "Royal' will be allowed to designate itself such, and the priv ilege to use the prefix will not be at all so readily granted as heretofore. as his majesty has been long of opinion that if Is one which has been always too easily secured. Of course, the right to designate itself Royal will not be withdrawn from an institution which is properly entitled to do so.
 In the same way the claims of royal warrant holders will be investigated with equal care. There are a number of peo- pie claiming to be royal warrant holders who are not, though they or their prede- cessors In business may have been at one time. All the royal warrants to trades people expire automatically at the death of the sovereign, and there Is no obliga- .tion whatever on the part of the new sovereign to renew them.
 In the late reign little attention was given to seeing that the royal warrants were renewed, and 0 large number of tradespeople continued to describe them selves as warrant holders who never ap- pliel for permission to do so.
 The registered lists of the royal war rant holders will now be carefully inves- tigated and will be personally examined " the King. There is no question that
