COMMON SENSE IN PosToFF1cE RULINGS

Postmaster General Hitchcock is evdencing
some common i'll issuing orders to the
pOstmasters of the country to longer destroy
or send to the dead letter office Christmas com.
munications addressed to Santa Claus, but to
hereafter turn them over to any charitable inst
tuition or benevolent person who may desire them
The idea that letters addressed in this manner
should be either destroyed or forwarded to the
lead letter office in Washington because the name
Santa Claus does not appear in any city directory,
shows too much of a desire the part Of former
Officials tc follow the red tape procedure that has
too long been IA feature of official Washington
Frequently the requests contained in these letters
can he easily met by charitable institutions or
lenrvolrntly inclined persons and happy Christ
mas day provided for some poor youngster. The
practice followed in the past of refusing to deliver
these letters to any institution person simply
because the postal authorities could not find Santa
Claus, almost the height of fooishness and
could not be condemned too strongly. In issuing
orders providing that upon the request of chart
table institutions benevolent persons letters adj
dressed to Santa Claus should be turned over to
them, Postmaster General Hitchcock is eyidencing
more OF the common sense that has char
acterzed his work the head of the department

MERCHANT AND SHOPPER.

Early shopping for the holiday season is as
much to the advantage of the tradesman as the
buyer. 1t saves the merchant extra expense, EN-
barrassment in handling his trade and the annoy
ance incident to haste and scrambling and
ables him to give better satisfaction to his pa
irons and close out his stock more fully. BY
extending the holiday shopping season over a
longer period the volume of special trade is nat
urally swelled. So the shopper gets better salts
faction and the merchant gets better business
Moreover, the latter is not required to handle in
rush press of business with temporary and
untred help who inevitably make blunders and
give unintentiona offense to customers.
So early shopping is equally to the advantage
of the tradesman and the buyer. If there is any
balance either way it is in favor of the merchant,
since it is calculated to increase his sales. 1t is
obvious therefore that it is to the interest Of the
merchants to promote and encourage the early
shopping movement. The most effective way Of
going this is to lay in the holiday stock early
and then advertise for the public to come in and
examine goods and prices. Be ready with the
goods and let the people know about them, and
the shopping will begin. The wise merchant will
attract the first and best buyers by judicous adj
vcrtising by telling the public what he has to
sell 1t is the early advertiser that catches
the early shopper, and early shopping is a CO.
ordination between the merchant and the buyer.

SAD CASE OF
A LITTLE GIRL IN
A MORAL CITY

RENO, New, Nov. 14.-One of
the most pitiable cases ever brought
before the local officers is now oc-
cupying the attention of the district
attorneys office, the officials of the
Crittenton home, the probation Of
ticers and the chief of police This
is the case of little blue-eyed, IA
year-old girl She is still wearing
short frocks, with her hair in braids
and is still playing with dolls, yet
this child, innocent in the ways of
the world, uneducated and young
for her years, must within a short
time cast aside her dolls to take
up the cares of a mother.
This little girl, accompanied by
the matron of the Crittenton home,
Probation Officer ingalls, and his
assistant, Mrs. Blum, were in the
Juvenile court Judge Thomas F.
Moran presided and the district at
torney and the assistant district at
| lorney were present and every ef-
fort was made to get the little
girl to tell the name of the beast
| who is responsible for her present
condition. With the tears rolling
down her cheeks and with trembling
voice she refused to say. She at
first declared that she did not
Faow of her condition, but late,
made a statement to the officers
of her experience, but refused to
state the name of her betrayer.
District Attorney William Wood
burn and Chief of Police Hillhouse
are still working on the case and
hope to find the man who is respon-
sible for the condition of this child.
1t is quite possible that there will.
be sensational developments and
that an arrest will be made shortly.
The girl has a father with whom
she has been living, but she has
no mother.

A RUsE TO CORNER THE MARKET

That quarantine of Mason valley potatoes by
the state of California is all buncombe. There
is no ell worm in the Mason alley spuds and the
reported quarantine is only ruse to corner the
spud market by the California buyers. The peo-
pie of the southern country have been consuming
potatoes for the past four months shipped from
California that should have been condemned long
ago. The Bonanza's word for it, no more of
those rotten tubers will ever be marketed in
Tonopah. Nevada can consume her entire potato
production without shipping pound outside of
the state. California is jealous of the Sagebrush
state when it comes to the raising of potatoes,
our spuds bringing the highest market price in the
known world today. California, Colorado and
Idaho short tubers this year.

COLLINS SAYS INSURGENTS
ARE THE REACTI0NARIES
tFrom a sad correspondent.l


LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 24-(Special.)- y
Frank w. Collins, formerly a resident
of this city, later appointed secretary
of the Federal Recodifying commission
by William Mckinley and now an as
sistant in the office Of the attorney gen.
eral at Washington, was in Lincoln yes
terday on his way home from Kansas,
where he wastaking testimony in case
in which the federal government is con-
cerned.
Mr.. Collins does not believe that the
present insurgent move in the west has
the needed conservatism TO insure its
success in the parts of the country where
the belief is more prevalent that the
government should be conducted on busi-
ness lines. President Taft is as sin
cere an executive as the people of this
country can ever elect to that high posi-
tion and by far the most democratic
executive who has occupied the chair
since the days OF George Washington"
said Mr.. Collins.
"The movement undertaken by some Of
the insurgents, which they assert to be
progressiveness, is anything but that in
my estimation. The president and those
who stand with him are in favor of rep
resentative government, and because of
this are assailed by the so-called pro-
gressives as being reactionaries. when as
a matter of fact the insurgents are the
reactionaries themselves. The fact that
they want to go back to the Grecian form
of government is sufficient to brand
them as such and TO keep all conserva-
tive citizens out of their ranks.
IT am a progressive-and so are hun
dreds of those who believe as President
Taft does-but not the kind Of a pro-
gressive that some of the radical men
love to designate themselves. That is
wid-eyed progressiveness-a brand that
bodies no good for those who would have
TO live under the authority OF its domina-
tion-and manifestly a variety so unfit
for the people OF this country as TO
arouse thoughtful men TO a keener real
ization Of their duty toward this class Of
politicians"

RULING ON RAILROAD
CASE B YFEDERkL JUDGE
From a staff correspondent.l }

LINCOLN, Neb., oct. 24-(Special)-
A demurrer in a case involving the
financing of a Kansas railroad by Ne
braska men was sustained by Judge
Munger Of the federal court today. the
case growing out Of the failure of the
failure OF the company to build an addi-
tional line after a contract had been
made with that end in view.
The Nebraskans who owned the line,
eight miles in length, are Samuel Smith,
John E. Smith and Mr.. Coleman Of Beat
rice. They desired 10 extend It twenty
two miles. The stock OF the road was
in their possession and was valued at
S1,O0O,OOO. They made a contract with
Mr.. Ross TO build the extension and
turned the fun amount OF the stock over
to the contractor.
Later Ross transferred the contract to
another man and neither he nor the
transferre attempted to fulfill the bar
gain. according TO the allegations Of the
Nebraska men. Suit was brought TO re-
cover against Ross and his surety The
Eureties in the case contended that they
were responsible only for Ross and not
for Everett the map 10 whom the con-
tract was assigned. Judge Munger By
bis ruling today however. holds that this
contention Is not good.
