HITCHCOCK LOOKS FOR
PENNY POSTAGE SOON
Postmaster General Argues Be-
fore Taft Commission for
Regulation of Rates.
TURN OF MAGAZINES TO-DAY
Justice Hughes, Harvard's Presi-
dent and Harry A. Wheeler
Hold First Meeting in
This City,

Postmaster General Hitchcock said YES
terday that II the legislation he desired
should be passed. putting the handling and
transportation of second class mail matter
on self-supporting basis, he would in due
time recommend the reduction Of the pres
ent charee on first class matter from two
cents 10 one cent an ounce or fraction
thereof.
Mr. Hitchcock is very strongly In favor
OF halving the present letter postage rate
and he believes it will come about before
many months pass. The Postmaster Gen
eral holds the opinion that such reduc-
tion will be followed by so great an in
crease in letter postage that. from a finan-
cisl point OF view. the move would be A
good one.
Mr.. Hitchcock argued long and earnestly
yesterday in the Federal Building before
the commission appointed by President
Taft TO investigate and determine whether
the present charges on second class mail
matter were or were not too low. II was
tho commissions first meeting. and he pro
duced statistics TO show that there was an
annual loss Of approximately seventy
millions on such matter. whereas there
was an annual profit of moro than sixty
eight millions on first class matter.
He advocated readiustment of rates 50
, that each class Of mail matter would he
on a self-supporting. but not proht-produc-
ling, basis. He said ne did not believe the
'sPostofice Department should yield any
revenue TO the government. but neither
should it cost the government anything.
At the hearing yesterday were the legal
representatives of practically every publ
,cstion which will be affected IL there is ar
tancrease in magazine postage rates. Justice
Hughes promised the latter a full hearing
.to-day. He said he would give them ar
opportunity 10 examine Mr.. Hitchcock and
itho Second and Third Assistant PostmasterS
General. who also advocated an increase in
rates, as fully as they desired.

Hitchcock Produces Figures.

NJ Hitchcock then quoted tho statistics
Of tho department for 1910 as the figures
for this year were not available. He tried
to show I'm this way that the income from
second class matter was only slightly
over an eighth OF what il cost the govern
rent 10 handle IT, and that the self-sup-
porting condition Of the postal service was
made possible only by the profit derived
from handling other classes OF mail. He
urged that the increased rate should he
has ed on the amount OF advertising carried
~ each publication.
For the present said Mr.. Hitchcock.
Ian increase of only ono cent a pound s.
advised This however. il only an OK
detrimental recommendation. in all prob
ability the department will be able to re-
duce the expense OF handling second class
matter by introducing several innovations.
because OF this it is all the more advisable
70 proceed slowly with any plan Of in
creased rates
Mr. Hitchcock was followed by Mr..
Stewart. the Second Assistant Postmaster
General. and Mr. Britt. the Third Assist
ant Postmaster General Their argu-
rents were along the same lines as his.
and were almost entirely technical and

SHEPHERDS AND DOGS.

There is nothing more surprising to any one unversed in the habits ard customs of a shepherd than to be told that a shepherd knows every member of his flock by sight. The writer was talking on this subject in the spring to a Sussex shepherd in charge of a flock of perhaps a hundred and twenty. An he said. yes, and if any of them was to get into a field among another flock. l could go and pick them out" Many shepherds are deeply depressed when their sheep are sold at market. But the strongest link. of course. is be- tween a shepherd and his dog. James Gardner. tho shepherd whose saying or the shepherds life Miss Gosset has taken for her first page. wanted nothing more for happiness. he would aver. than the warmth of my home and the devotion of my dogs" Here are a few of his savings on dogs:
 Tn every case great dog bears a deep resemblance to his master
 "I have never known a deceitful man to have faithful dog"
 When a dog bites a man. that man is sorely in need of chastise- ment"
 "A shepherds dogs should all be recognized as members of the fam fly. Such an arrangements makes life fuller and sweeter."
 When I am taken away my dogs will deeply mourn my departure. why should I not mourn their death? For, bear in mind, they have done much more for me than I have done for them ''-London Spectator.

EXPLOITING A NEW
 IRRIGATION PROJECT
R. A. Kirk Left Last Night For New
 York on a Financial Mission.

R. A. Kirk left last night rather hurriedly for New York city for the purpose of securing a million dol lars, more or less. He does not seek the money for his own personal use. for he has been hanging on by the eyebrows in poor downtrOdden Arizona so long he would drop dead if he
 ever got a whole million all to himself. but he is certain he knows where he can do a lot of good just now with a little money and a little help, both of which he expects to get.
 It is all about an irrigation enter prise that Mir. Kirk and his associ- ates have had under way on the
 lower Gila river for a long time, but
 just what the facts are MT. Kirk
 did not have time to state as he
 scooted for the train last night, any
 more than that they had been trying
 for long time to interest eastern capital in it and yesterday afternoon
 he got a telegram to report in New York Mir Kirk always answers mes sages of that kind in person and by the next departing train. He had no
 time to tell what his plans are or
 what his project is or how large a
 project it is. All he could say was
 that it is all right and that the situ-
 ation looked so good to him that he
 was smiling all over.
 One quite significant thing however whatever the size of the project, is | that the favorable consideration of
 1t seems to have come to New York people the next day al stat hood was assured. That to say the
 least, is a good omen. and it may he [ expected now that the wise ones who | hold the keys to the vaults of the metropolis, will from this time or keep their eyes on Arizona There is
 no place in the world that needs de veloping capital more and no place that offers better return for invest
 ments. The opportunities were not
 made by statehood especially for tho latent resources have been here al the time, but statehood will give tC | investors the assurance of safety they have hitherto been in doubt about.

MECHANISM OF THE WATCH.

Few pieces of machinery show more marvellous features than that of the watch. As a general proposition it may be stated that a watch is the smallest. most delicate instrument of the same number of parts that has ever been devised About 175 different pieces of material enter into its con- struction. and upward of 24O0 spera- ate operations are comprised In its manufacture
 Certain of the facts connected with it's performances are almost incredi- ble when considered as a whole. A blacksmith strikes several hundred blows on his anvil in a day and. as a matter of course, is glad when Sunday comes; but the roller jewel of watch makes every day-and day after day 432. 900 impacts against the fork or 157. 6SO. 900 blows during the course of a year. without stop or rest-or some 1 3.153. GOO. .OOO blows during the space of twenty years, the period for which a watch is usually guaranteed to keep | good time.
 But the wonder of it does not cease here. If has been calculated that the
 mower that moves the watch is equiv alent to only four times the force used { in a fleas jump. The watch-power 1 is therefore what might be termed the equivalent of four flea-power. One horse power would suffice to operate | PIC. .O00, 900. watches.
 Furthermore, the balance-wheel Of

A WRONG CONCLUSION.

Jimmy. like all healthy boys, was fond of playing outdoors. and, like boys in general, he usually got him. self scandalously dirty. He was about to sit down to dinner one day, when his mother happened to notice the soiled condition of his hands. and sent him out to the kitchen to wast them.
 You incorrigible bay" she ex- claimed. as soon as she saw the basin of water in which he had performed the required ablutions. How in the world do you manage to get youi hands so dirty?"

Admires Pastor RusselTs Book.

Atlanta Constitutiou:-Bil Arp, the
Southern Philosopher" wrote the fol-
lowing review of "rhe Divine Plan of
the Ages" some time before he died:
ut is impossible to read this book
without loving the writer and ponder
ing his wonderful solution of the great
mysteries that have troubled us all
our lives. There is hardly family to
be found that has not lost some loved
one who died outside the church-out-
side the plan OF salvation, and. II Cal
yinism be true, outside OF all hope and
inside of eternal torment and despair.
We smother our feelings and turn
away from the horrible picture. We
dare not deny the faith Of our fathers,
and yet can 1t be possible that the
good mother and the wandering child
are forever separated forever and
forever?
81 believe It is the rigidity Of these
teachings that makes atheists and infi-
dels and skeptics-makes Christians
unhappy and brings their gray hairs
down in sorrow to the graye--a lost
child, lost soul!
This wonderful book makes no as.
sertions that are not well sustained by
the Scriptures. II is built up stone by
stone, and upon every stone Is the
text. and 1t becomes a pyramid OF
Gods love, and mercy, and wisdom.
There is nothing in the Bible that
the author denies or doubts. but there
are many texts that he throws a flood
of light upon that seems to remove
from them the dark and gloomy mean
ing. / see that editors OF leading jour
mails and many orthodox minister's OF
different denominations have endorsed
IL and have confessed to this new and
comforting light that has dawned
upon the Interpretation Of Gods Book.
Then let every man read and ponder
and take comfort. for we are al iiris-
oners Of hope This is an age OF ad-
vanced thought, and more thinking is
done than ever before-men dare to
think now. Light-more lights the
watchword.'
