In a satirical article entitled The
Natural History of American Million
aires a writer in the Berliner Tage-
blatt says: They all came to New
York, Chicago or Philadelphia with
one shirt and with one cent in the
pocket of the only other garment.
All served as bootblacks, errand boys
or even in more humble positions and
in the second week had saved enough
to buy a waistcoat After one month
they appeared before their respective
employers clad in new clothes and
told them with imposing self conf
dence that the organization of their
business was defective and required re-
organization. A year later the boy has
become a partner, in two years he has
outstripped the former boss in wealth,
and year later he has grown smart
enough to kill off the benefactor of 9th
er days All American millionaires
arise at in the morning, eat and
drink almost nothing, cease their work
at midnight and allow only those to
live whom they think are good enough
to invite. Every dollar king POUNDS a
university, an opera, museum or a
picture gallery. Life becomes a bur-
den to them when there are no more
competitors in their branch worthy of
destruction. Then they lie down and
die of ennui."

Postal Long and shor. HauIs.


Valuable recommendation on how
TO turn the large postal deficit into a
surplus are found in Postmaster Cen
eral Hitchcock's annual report. 1t
Is shown that the handling of second
class matter at the cent-a-pound rate
costs the government $4,000, 600
year more than is received from this
source. In thirty years second-class
matter has increased no less than
1900 per cent and will plainly con-
tinue to pile up in greater volume as
long as the government permits mag
azines and miscellaneous publications.
chiefly devoted to advertising. to go
through the mails at a cent a pound
when the service costs over cents
a pound. This is by far the most Sc
rious leak in the Postoffice Depart
ment. Mr.. Hitchcock says in reference
to its details: Magazines and other
newspapers comprise about 60 per
cent of the second-class mail. The mag
azines alone form about 20 per cent.
Magazines proper, because of the long
average haul, show cost of more than
cents a pound for transportation.
while the case of newspapers, for
which the average distance of distri-
button is much less, the transportation
cost is under cents a pound
The cent-a-pound rate was original
ly adopted for the circulation of news
papers alone, in conformity with the
government policy, approved over a
hundred years ago, of promoting the
means by which an informed public
opinion is maintained. But a noun
tain of publications other than news
papers is now dumped into the mails
az the cent-a-pound postage charge and
hauled much farther than newspapers.
Last year the deficit on all the postal
operations was S17.40G000. The loss
on second-class mail was $4,000, 600.
President Taft in his message also
pointed out these facts and recommend
ed that the rate of postage be raised
on magazines and miscellaneous pub
LEGATIONS. This sensible step would end
the deficit The United States is the
only important country in the world
that allows the cost of it's postal opera
tions to exceed the revenue. Nothing
in the affairs of the nation is more
needlessly out of balance-St Louis

Paul Witstach, the brilliant play
wright, author and Mansfield author
lty. said of Mr.. Mansfield at a dinner
in New York:
'Mr. Mansfield's dignity was very
great. He conducted himself toward
others in a dignified way. He expect
ed others to conduct themselves
toward him in like manner. But
once, in Chicago, Mr. Mansfield was
touched on the raw by a manager. 1t
was the first night of a Cyrano de
Bergerac tour. The great actor, his
delicate nerves aquiver. was making
up with his dresser's help, when the
manager rushed into the dressing
room without knocking, slapped Mr..
Mansfield heartily on the back and
Ehouted:
1.-The house is packed. There amt
even no more standin' room. Now.

hustled that manager out, Cyrano

The Democrats on Prices.

These Republican prices" is what
Governor Harmon, of Ohio, called them
in an interview Republican prices,
Meaning the high cost of living.
Are they Republican prices, and if
so are they fit subject for Democratic
reprobation? What was the plea of
the Democratic party in 1896? That
the demonstration of silver had re-
suited in such a contraction of the
money of redemption that we were
afflicted by a hopeless condition of
falling prices. Money was so artifi-
cially dear that commodities were cor
respondingly cheap. The poor man
who worked for wages could, 1t was
true, buy a whole lot of things for
a dollar, but the Republican party had
fixed it so that he couldn't get the
dollar. Farmers got such ridiculously
low prices for their products that there
was nothing in farming. The country
was going to the dogs through low
prices
Thus argued Mr. Bryan and thus
argued the Democratic national plat
form of that year in reinforcement of
its demand for the free coinage of
silver. Defeated on this issue, and
confronted in a later campaign with
approaching prices without the inter
vention of free coinage, the Demo-
cratic party declared that it had been
indicated that its quantitative theory
of money had been applied by the
great increased production of gold,
and that the comforting advance in
prices was due to an act of providence
for which the Republican party had
no share of the credit.
Now we have the spectacle of the
Democrats attacking their own theory
of the benefit to the country of high
prices. even when the increases are
in the returns to farmers, for whom
the Democrats profess always to have
been fighting. From this it appears
that prices. whether high or low, are
wrong while the Republican party is

Japan's Vain Hope.

The new Japanese ambassador at
Washington is under instructions from
the mikado to obtain from the United
States the right of entry for subjects
OF Japan equivalent to that given the
subjects of any European power. Pres
sure will be exerted not only at Wash
ington, but at London to obtain in
Canada and in Australia the right of
entry for japanese laborers. The pride
of Japan instigates this pressure. The
mikado feels that it is derogatory to
his race, who have proved Their PROV
ess in war and commerce, that dis
elimination by the white nations be
continued
Nevertheless. such discrimination
must be either exercised by US or con-
sente0 to by the japanese government.
For, awkward as would be the enmity
of Japan, far more intolerable would
be gerat Japanese immigration here.
OF the two, if they are alternative. We
must choose the former. The negro, az
least, is content to follow and to imi-
tate the white man; but the Mon
golian, particularly the Japanese, holds
himself the equal, if not the superior,
of the white man. And his opinion of
himself is so far true one he is in
tractable and aggressive.
The Japanese are a great people.
Japan is nation OF soldiers and
statesmen and scientists and artists, as
Elihu Root declared But our deter
mination not to mix with them on
this continent proceeds from no sense
of their inferiority, but from realiza-
ton of their difference. Perhaps it
can be borne in upon the mind of the
mikado that the mutual Incompatible
ity of our peoples argues no conscious
ness of superiority on our part. The
very fact that the Japanese are so ca
pable of holding their own is reason
for barring them out
