The Postal Deficit.

The discussions of Postmaster Gen
eral Hitchcock's report indicate that
the country is not greatly taken by
surprise at the revelation of losses on
sec0nd-class matter. nor is it greatly
worried over the matter. 1t is an east
ly ascertainable fact that the losses on
second-class matter go hand in hand
with the marvellous profits on first
class matter. In other words, the one
creates the other The carriage of
letters is immensely profitable. Let
tiers result from the pushing of bust,
ness by correspondence. There is no
business that is more persistently
pushed by correspondence than the de-
velopmsnt of the circulation of news
papers. magazines and periodicals.
This fact, of course. does not Justify
rate that entails a great loss upon
the government. Nobody claims that
it does, but those interested in second
class mail do claim that the govern
cause of the loss. 1t is not all in un-
dercharge. There is every reason 10
believe that much of it is due to over
charges by the railroads for hauling
the mails. This is something the gov
eminent has made one or two feeble
attempts to look into, but it has never
gone to the bottom of the matter. Now
that the Postmaster General has stirred
it up. he should use the powers which
he has to find out whether he is not
paying too much.-Exchange

The Missing Turk.

Sarah Bernhard was once playing
at Marseilles in a spectacular play in
which she made her entree accompa-
MED by six Turkish slaves. A line on
the program announced that these six
Turks would accompany Nine. Bern
hardt, but when the time came for
them to go on one of the youngsters
had disappeared. Sarah mustered the
five in order and made her entrance
with a grand flourish. The house was
crowded, but not a handicap greeted
her as she appeared Then a still,
small voice in the gallery murmured
something in an indignant tone. Fifty
voices Immediately took up the strain,
and in ten seconds more the whole
house was shouting the same phrase.
Bernhard strained every nerve to
catch what they were complaining
about She knew the phrase began
with "N"~rue" but the rest of it was
lost y neral hubbub. For full
mimi; umult continued. Then
Sarah. ring things below her
breath, rushed like fury down to the
footlights. In the front row the ac-
tress had spotted one may who was not
taking part in the hullabaloo. Point
ing at him, the actress exclaimed
sternly: You seem TO be the only
sensible person in the house Tell me
what on earth they are kicking up this
row for?"
The man rose, bowed to the actress
and remarked in very bad American.
French, Madam, you are sky one
Turk"

within him and outpictured in his
body, says Orison SWEET Marden in
Success Magazine If you would make
the most of yourself, never picture
yourself as anything different from
what you would actually have your
self, from what you long to become.
Whenever you think of yourself, form
mental image of perfect, healthy,
beautiful, noble being. not lacking in
anything, the person you wish to be-
come. Positively refuse to see any
thing about yourself which you would
not like to have true. Insist upon see
ing only the truth of your being, the
man or woman God had in mind when
he made you, not the distorted thing,
the burlesque man or woman which
your ignorance and unfortunate en-
vironment, wrong thinking and vicious
living have produced. The estimate
you have of yourself, the image of
yourself which you carry in your
mind, will mean infinitely more to you
than what other people may think of
you.
II we would make the most of our
lives. IL we would be and do all that
it is possible for us to be and to do
we must not only think we'll. of our
selves. but we must also be just to
ourselves physically. be good to our
bodies. In order to be the highest,
the most efficient type of man or WON
an 1t is just as necessary to cultivate
the body, to develop its greatest pos
sible strength and beauty, as it is 10

That Increase of Postage.

What will result If the contemplated
newspapers and periodicals is carried
into effect? Certainly a larger deficit
will occur in the governments post
office department this year as COM
pared to 1909.
Lack of full study of the situation
Is shown by the recommendation to
increase postal rates on these articles
Newspapers and magazines do more
to nationalize literature than any
other one thing. Very much of the
postal business grows out of the pub
licity created by these newspapers
and magazines Answers to adyer-
tisements, in order that they may
reach the advertiser. must go through
the mails, which means a sale of
stamps up in the thousands. They are
the medium which creates the largest
sale of stamps and may practically be
called the governments travelling
salesman.
No record is kept by the government
of the business known as official
business" on its books. If such rec
ord were begun it would disclose the
fact that it costs from s75,00O,0 to
500 900, 900 annually to carry on this
business. Perhaps this is the cause of
last years deficit.
Why not find the leak and mend it
instead of jumping at theoretical con-
illusions? No hasty action should be
taken by the government before the
matter is thoroughly looked at B.

Shouldn't you think" said the
shopper. that they'd lose lots OF
these Christmas cards, have lots OF
them stolen? One place where | went

roomful of them, Christmas cards and
nothing else
You see this room crowded with
customers, all the people that can get
in. and to wait on them you see three
or four or half a dozen saIeswOmen,
enough l suppose to attend to the
business. The customers go rummag-
ing around, turning the cards over
and searching for what they want,
and paving them over generally. |
should think lots of them would get
torn and bent and soiled; and what s
to prevent anybody from picking up
cards and carrying them away? Still,
| don't suppose the people that come
here would steal, anyway; but l did
have one queer experience in that
room tie last time | shopped there.
Il had bought a bunch of cards and
paid for them, and had them put in
separate envelopes and then all in one
big one. and then l saw some little
cards that caught my fancy, that were
two for five cents, and / took two Of
them and carried them to the sales
woman | had dealt with and said:
Can't l put these right in this en-
yelope?' and she said Certainly, and
that's what | did.
But | couldn't hand the nickel TO
her because she had both hands full
at that moment doing up some cards
for somebody else, and SO | said
would lay the FIVE cents down here, on
the table, and that's what | did. And
then what do you suppose happened?
Il stood there for a moment wait
ing to see the saleSwoman pick 1t
up, and as | stood there the woman
standing beside me opened her purse
and put that nickel In 1t.

Even the simplest law transactions
seem to be beyond the comprehension
of some people An old farmer wene
into a grocer's shop a short time ago,
ordered sovereign's worth of goods
and when they were ready for deliv-
cry laid down a five shilling piece in
payment thereof.
The shopkeeper called out. Here,
this isn't right" as the customer start
ed 10 leave.
"Oh, yes, that's all right replied
the man. I've got permission from
the judge to pay , shillings in the
pound"
A heated discussion revealed that
the man had lately settled an insol-
vency upon this basis and expected to
continue that method indefinitely.
When he was shown his mistake he
was very indignant and evidently con-
sidered himself much abused man.

SpECULATING ON MARGIN.
American and English Ways Of


Doing Ii Are Very Different.
In America a Spectators capital
with an exception to be noted below
is necessarily at least the size of his
margin in his brokers hands, though
1t is to be feared that in only too many
Instances it is just this and nothing
more
On the London stock exchange an
other method prevails which, says
Ncody's Magazine. it is probable mas
done more in the long-ago past to give
stock speculation its bad name than
all the episodes Of an unsavory ma
tire which have ever occurred Oh
American exchanges. In London after
the inevitable introduction to a broker
the new customer gives his order, but
makes no deposit at all.
The broker is supposed to learn
something of his new clients means
and how far he should be allowed to
commit himself. Twice a month the
English have what they call their set
Element days. A customer long of a
stock whose commitment has gone
somewhat against him is then reQuir-
ed to pay the differences. as they are
the current quotation.
He must also pay a charge called a
contango for holding the settlement
over into the next fortnightly period
IL he does not wish to close the COM
mitment. As a consequence of this
way OF doing business a Spectator
may be trading on a few points mar
gin in reality. or in fact on no mar
gin at all: he may be utterly penni-
less without his brokers' knowing ir.
That this method works out with
fewer losses in England that it would
do here Is due to the fact that the So
cial and economic strata to which an
nslishman belongs are much easier
determine than the corresponding
facts among US. and also that an IN
PRODUCTION means more there than
here. as the introducer is regarded as
to certain extent responsible NOR
ally for the business department Of his
friend.
II is worth while observing (and
this Is the exception referred to above)
that in certain instances the methods
pursued in American stock exchange
houses are the same as those obtain
ing in London. Little as the fact is
known. II is not an unfrequent custom
for very wealthy spectators to have
no fixed margin or even no margin at
all with their brokers.
If man of this sort loses on a
commitment ne sends his broker a
check for the loss; if he wins his bro
kers remit TO him for his gains. The
broker dislikes to offend a very pow

GIVE PRFs1DENT A EAR SHOW.

GIVE PRESIDENT A FAIR SHOW.
1t is less than a year since President
Taft took Office at the head of the gov,
eminent. but within that short period
so much of doubt and distrust has been
aroused against him as to suggest the
idea that he might betray the poll
cieS to which he was pledged Public
sentiment has been affected. and he
has suffered some loss of public con
fdence.
1t is clear that all this has come
about too suddenly. And it is up to
the American people now to give the
President a fair show
Let us judge him for the present by
what he has done, not by what evil
imaginings may attribute to him. He
called a special session of Congress 20
keep the tariff pledge and he labored
hard to bring about a revision that
should be satisfactory TO the people.
! No one can question his sincerity, and
If the Winona speech with its praise
OF the Aldrich-Payne bill and its re-
buke to the insurgents was a mistake
and it was a mistake-it certainly
did not indicate that there was TO be
a betrayal of progressive policies The
| President explained that there were
other reforms to be carried through.
| The greatest possible strength was re
quired fer the work, and so far as he
has entered into any alliance with Aid
rich and Cannon it is to get results.
We now have his message on the
railroads and trusts, which exemplifies
| his good faith and is generally re-
garded as a powerful contribution in
aid of legislation that is close TO the
hearts of the progressives. 1t is i'm
possible to speak of triumphs. We
must wait to see what becomes of the
programme. But the Presidents in
tention is clear. and in him the popu-
lar cause has an honest and able ad.
vccate.
Attempts to injure him by exalting
Roosevelt, telling what Roosevelt
would do in this. that and the other
emergency, anticipating the election
of 1912 and making Roosevelt Presi-
dent are manifestly unfair and be-
side the point 1t is Taft who is car
rying the tremendous burden of re
sponsibility. No one can say just what
another man would do under the cir
cusmstances, but it is extremely easy to
dispose of the burden with a fine -four
ish of gossip and theory.
Suppose we wait, then, a few more
months or another year before hand
ing down any final decision. and give
the President chance. Suppose We
let his splendid record of public SER
vice in the past count for him as IT
should. and give to suspicious, insinua-
tions and guesswork only the weight
that properly belongs to them.-Cbica-
