AL PARTS OF THE

Sen. BOURNE OPPOSED
HE CONTENDS THAT DEMANDS
COME CHIEFLY FROM BANK
ERS WHO CAN PAY
TWO CENTS.
{By Robert M. McWade.)


Washington, Dec S:-(Special Cor
respondence)-Th secretaries OF
Senators and Representatives are al
most overwhelmed with an avalanche
of letters and postal cards purporting
to come from wholesale merchants,
bankers and others, asking for a uni
versal one-cent letter postage. These
requests are not confined by any
means to one, or four, or five sections
of the country, but they are coming
in by sacksful, from every state anu
territory in the Union, showing that
there is a concerted movement afoot
to urge upon congress the adVlsaolE
ity and to certain extent the abso-
lutte necessity for such an Innovation
OF course, the bulk of these commun1-
cations are addressed to the members
of the Senate and House Committees
IN Postoffces and Post Roads, but
the advocates of the proposed 1egisia-
tive enactment are evidently playing
no favorites for every Congressman
in the upper and lower branches OF
the national talk shop" is being load
ed down with these missives.
There can be little question that
the new idea will secure strong anFo-
Gates among the leaders OF both poll
teal parties, and that the man "ho
nnshes 1.-The thing through" viii earn
the undying gratitude of the people Oh
the whole country, for ne Will orlns
the postal facilities so well "1ln1n
the reach of the poorest in the iano
that letters will be as cheaply denS-
cred as postal cards. The "Father Oh
Penny Postage will be an envlaoie
title one which both Democrats ano
Renublicans will emulously try to cor
ral-but they will not be able to ge'
there" without long and determlh
ed struggle, because Senator 'ohna
than Bourne, jr., chairman OF the Sen
.+e committee to whom this suD1ec'
will sooner or later be referred 1o'
consideration, has already shown gil
opposition to it.
Senator Bourne insists that tn
similarity of the language In the ie'
ters shows conclusively that they ar
not backed by business men becans
they feel the two-cent rate Is oufoeI
some. but because some intereste
organization has agitated the SUI
;ect" He asserts that the estaoilsi
ment of a one-cent postage Wouio
decrease the postal revenues as 10 q
Law the enactment of a parcels pos
law. and he urges the advocates
the parcels post to set to "orA
counteracting the influence OF the on
cent postage advocates "by ask'n
that the parcels post be establ'she
before the question OF reduction
letter postage is considered.
In conclusion, he says: mo EUR
mean country has 1-cent letter pa
tage. but European rates on pasee
ara much less than ours. Our ie
ter rate is not burdensome- Strana
TO say. the demand for reduced leu
postage comes chiefly from panke
who are abundantly able to pay the

The Telephonograph

A lawyer genius down on Wall
street has beat Edison to it by COM
hining the photograph with the
telephone in such way that
it automatically records both ends
Of the phone conversation, says the
New York World. He has named
it electromagnetic" obviously in
business transactions over the
phone. such a record might prove
vitally important and OF the great
est value.
The device is so simple and easy
of construction that its inventor, or
discoverer. expressed surprise that
someone had not thought of ii long
ago.
The phone is equipped with twin
receivers One is for use in the or
binary way; the other is held by
bracket in proximity to a mega
phone attached to a photograph in
which is a blank cylinder and a
NEEDLE for making record. The
cylinder is turned by electricity
when the operator presses a button
which in this case is set in the
flooring convenient to his foot OF
course this is TO record the words
of the speaker at the other end.
Say Mr. Lawyer gets a call. He
takes down the receiver and starts
phone No. and asks for the name,
and at the same time starts phone
No. l.
The answer comes back. James
]. Jones" 1t is recorded on the
cylinder by Jones own voice and
thereafter he cannot deny that he
had any talk with MIR. Lawyer over
the phone on that occasion.
The subsequent conversation is
recorded in like manner, and at
any time, in case of dispute as to
what was actually said, the entire
conversation can be reproduced.
The value of my device has been
demonstrated more than once
since l rugged it up, said the law
yer while showing it to a visitor,
Only few weeks ago l arranged
an important business deal with a
man over the phone. Three days
later n question arose as to just
what he had agreed to do and he
repudiated his own Words
viii you deny it in court un-
dedr oath? l asked him"
Certainly l will he replied, be-
cause l never said It,"
You will? Then listen to this"
"And l showed him my device
and how it worked and ground out
for him his own words in his own
easily recognized voice"
you've got me he said" and
that settled it.
Before a jury without this rec
ord, his word would have been as
good as mine.
