Letter Stealing.

LEGITIMATE newspapers do not coun-
tenance the publication of letters pur-
loined from the private correspondence
of any man, however much the pupli-
cation NAV appear to rebound to their
benefit. Take for instance the case OF
the letters of Governor Haskell which
were printed by Hearst in the last
presidential campaign. No Republi-
can newspaper Of standing could COM
mend such acts, however much they
might aid in the campaign. We cite
that instance because Governor Has
kell was a Democrat and was driven
from an active part in the campaign
nv these letters. Senator Foraker
likewise suffered but any expression
| Of condemnation of the methods by
which he was driven from public life
might be construed to be prompted
more by feeling of sympathy for the
methods by which his downfall was
accomplished.
The papers which used the Haskell
and Foraker letters have continued tC
use this method of upsetting the plans
lof opponents and until very latel!
have never found reputable publica
ton willing to accompany them in tina
sort of journalism. A short time agt

More Subsidy Argument.

The need of a more extensive mer-
chant marine must have been brought
home to everyone who read the report
of the second assistant postmaster
general, Joseph Stewart. Mr.. Stew
arts position is such that he is COM
PEELED to know about such things
and his testimony is worthy of more
than passing notice. If he did not
thoroughly believe that some method
should be found whereby merchant
marine may be made more extensive
in order to safeguard the mails he
would not have made such a report.
His observations on the subject show
that he has given it some study from
the standpoint of a man VINO has to
do with the transportation OF so i'm
portant a commodity, and that he
realizes the gravity of inefficient SER
vice.
He points out that under the exist
ing provisions of law, mail to South
America, the Orient and Australia are
carried in foreign vessels because 1.-The
department is unable to secure con-
tracts for the transportation of our
foreign mails in American steam
ships" He points out that 10 per
cent. of the vessels which carry our
mails to the Orient fly foreign flags.
Inasmuch as under these conditions
the department has no control over the
vessels performing the service it is
not able to prescribe schedules. Mr..
Stewart points out the advantage of
aiding the service between this coun-
try and South America, saying, that
these countries are of great CONNER
cial importance to our own. This is
simply piling up argument in favor
of aiding the merchant vessels through
mail subsidies, but it should not pass
unnoticed at this time when a ship
subsidy bill is pending. We need ship
subsidies on account of our mail ser
vice and as a reserve for our naval
vessels. as well as for business rea-

The Proposed Boycott.

What can come of this proposed boy
colt of the trust products? When
England taxed tea our forefathers de-
clined to use it and even resorted to
violence in destroying such supplies of
the leaf as were sent to American port
with the avowed intent of forcing them
to pay the tax whether the tea was
used or not Tea was not very sal
able commodity during those days and
it is doubtful whether the stores which
sold it made much profit Out of it.
Doubtless the success of this first
boycott in American history was due
largely to the small number of people
involved. The people were thorough
ly aroused, also, and the campaign
against tea was form of resistance
cal ruler. No such spirit can be in
jected into the movement started by
Dr. Scharff The only sentiment back
of this modern boycott is that of dol
lars and cents While it is a common
trait to resist an unjust levy on our
pocketbooks. people seldom stand to-
gether in such resistance.
DR.. Scharf's plan is ingenious, how
ever, and may accomplish some good.
1t is proposed to hold a convention at
Washington and, with that as a nu-
cleus to plant organizations in all the
capital cities of the country and in all
the other centers of population. He
does not propose to inaugurate the first
boycott until million members have
been enrolled. DR.. Scharff is confident
the plan VIII work here as it did in
Germany, and that many millions of
people will unite for the purpose of
seeing whether it is to be possible for
the interests which control the mar
kets for food to continue to boost the
prices of these necessities. 1t is de-
sired to proceed first against the beef
trust, prompted by the belief, widely
entertained, that this trust controls
not only the meat supply, but the sup
plies of eggs, butter, poultry, dairy
products generally, and of hides and
leather.

reerettable that the special investiga-
tor stole the letter and 1t is equally
regrettable that he could thus easily
find market for it. There isn't a
great deal of difference between the
man who steals and the man VINO re-
ceives the stolen goods, and it is diff
ficult to understand why the man who
steals a letter should go to Jail and
the man who derives the greatest fl
nancial return from the exploit, go
free. The Hearst papers have here
tofore stood alone in this sort of
business and it would have been bet
ter if they had been permitted to con-
tinue to monopolize it.

An interesting order regarding the
marriage of officers has been made by
the Russian military authorities. For
merry no officer could marry until he
mad reached the age of twenty-three.
In addition to being of good social
position. his bride had to possess
means, or the marriage was not sane
toned. In future the income uualifi-
cation will be dispensed with, and the
colonel of the regiment will decide
regarding the social suitability of the
bride when the bridegroom is of the
rank of captain or higher. In the case
of subalterns a court of honor, formed
of officers of the regiment, will sit in
Judgment on the bride and will report

Gossip.

In his hour of pain and shame,
In his prison house of flame
When revenge the devil sought
Little tongues Of fire he wrought:
Tongues to lie and twist and turn,
Tongues to scorch and scar and burn,
Tongues to slap the high and holy,
Tongues to STAY the poor and lowly:
Then to earth the tongues he sent
There to work his fell intent;
To whisper, hint and smirch and sheer,
And to fiji the world with fear,
Foul with gossip that can kill
Evermore to work his will. 4 +
The little tongues of hell
Still serve the devil well.
