The clerk informed him that the cost
would be 10 cents. The money was
paid and the package sent off to its
destination 5, 600 miles away. Then
the German lad handed out another
four pound package addressed to a
friend in Tacoma and remarked as be
did so, II suppose it will not cost
much to send this such a short dis
lance" The clerk smiled when he
said, "But it will cost you 81 cents to
send this to Tacoma. The young
German said, 81 can't see why it
should cost more to send a package
30 miles than it does to send the same
size package 5000 miles. l."
The next day an English woman,
now resident in Seattle, went to the
post office with two packages, each
weighing six pounds. She wanted to
send one to her mother in England
and the other to her sister in Port
land, Oregon. She handed the clerk
the one addressed to her mother. She
was told it would require Y cents
postage to send that package by mail.
This sum was paid, and then she
handed out the other package with the
remark, GLOW much to send this?'
Back came the reply, "You can not
send this by mail to any point in the
United States. We are not allowed
to send any package weighing over
four pounds. - ''But you accepted
the other package; can you send that
to England?'' ''Certainly, for we are
allowed to send package weighing up
to eleven pounds, provided it goes
out of the United States.' The
woman, somewhat Initiated, snapped
out, '"That seems strange to me.
You treat foreigners better than you
do your own people, but why?' The
clerk replied, "That is the ruling of
the post office department, and l can
do nothing but follow my instruct
ions.'
The woman was informed that If
she would divide the package into two
parcels she could send them by mail,
provided neither weighed more than
four pounds. She divided the package
and had to use additional paper so as
to wrap both parcels separately.
When the two parcels were weighed,
it was found that their combined
weight was six pounds and four
ounces and the combined charges
would be just Sl.O0. The woman

which he one day appeared to be. This
was when the sergeant-at-arms, with
his terrible sword in hand. rose from
his chair and rushed with cyclonic
speed in the direction of the mild,
meek and altogether unconscious-of-

clear what was the cause OF this hasty

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
/ see SO many articles written in
your paper almost daily about children
gaining admission to the cheap, five
cent moving-picture houses, unaccom-
panied by either parent or guardian.
The best and only way to stop this
business is to enforce the law, which
says the proprietors of such places can
be arrested and fined a sum not ex-
ceeding 800. The moving-picture men
all know the. law in regard to this
matter. Now, arrest them and enforce
the law, and this fine a few times will
either stop it or put them out of BUSH
ness, which in either case would be a
blessed good thing for the community.
The trouble is our police justices are
too lenient when one is arrested and
brought before them. Fine them, and
If they can't pay, lock them up.
Yours, . FATHER.

A MEMORIAL TO JOHN r. DRYDEN.

6Ta HE impressive obsequies of John f. Dryden yesterday bore
testimony to the respect and regard in which he was held III
this community and State, as well as abroad in the land
among men who are the leaders in the nations thought and actVl
ties. No citizen went to his grave more highly honored for his char
acter and nework than John +. Dryden, and the tribute. paid to
him was heartfelt not only with those who participated in the
solemn ceremonial, but among the silent throngs of people on the
sidewalks. Newark will ever remember John F. Dryden as the
greatest builder of a Greater Newark and of a city beautiful. Large
plans he conceived for the Identification of our city are yet to be
developed. Nils spirit remains in them as in other things for New
arks future progress. Now that he has been laid away, should an
appreciative community not consider the lasting tribute of a public
memorial? * -n

THE AGADR INCIDENT CLOSED.

NV OW that the two German warships that remained at Ayadir
AM have been recalled the FrancoGerman dispute over Morocco
may be regarded as a closed incident. 1t was the dispatch
of gunboat to the Moroccan port that brought on the crisis in the
relations of three European powers which came SO near TO a great
war. Germany retains a large slice of French African territory in
exchange for a smaller slice of German African territory for France.
but only after making concessions to France in Morocco Of a nature
to justify GermanyS reproach that she got by far the worst of the
bargain. 1T is that consciousness which makes bitterness in Ger.
many all the more intense because of the feeling that England's
yelled threat prevailed to defeat German objects In Morocco. A
satisfying outcome of the affair, however, is an improved fa ling in
Germany toward France and the removal of a cause COR quarrel
that might at any moment bring on a great war.

TAFT OR ROOSEVELT IN NEW JERSEY?

NAV ILL New Jersey Republicans elect Taft delegates at the
WW party primaries next May if Taft is then a candidate?
There is reason for doubt. Discomfort with the Taft poll
cis has been as rife in New Jersey as in other States, while Roose-
welt has lost little of his popularity with the Republican masses.
There is a perceptible change, too, in the feeling of party leaders
toward Taft. They now dsrust his abnityst to carry the country
and apprehend that his candidacy might swamp the State ticket
and lose the United States senatorship. With Roosevelt they be-
ieye that New Jersey would be safely Republican. With Taft re-
suits would be obviously doubtful. The Developments of the next
few months will determine the attitude of these leaders, whether
they shall hold out for Taft or go with the party tide TO Roosevelt.

Il christmas purchases early to avoid the rush and relieve the
overburdened clerks and salesgirs is evident in the depart
mcnt stores. To The usual number of shoppers intent upon the pur.
chase of articles of ordinary use there is added Il large number of
people who patroni2e those departments where toys and Christmas
goods are displayed. In the jewelry stores there is also an incleas.
ing custom. Many people have come to realize the great advantage
Of early shopping They get the pick of the stocks, they select with
leisure and comfort and without tendous waiting, their purchases
are sent TO their homes promptly and they avoid the bad air and
crowding, and often disagfeeable experiences, that late shoppers
have to undergo But there is also an increasing number of people
who shop early because they want to contribute something to the
comfort and welfare of the salesgirls.
