A HEAVILY SUBSIDIZED TRUST.

m S lit is now charged by the government that the leading maya
G zines are combined in a trust in violation of the sherman
act, it appears that the government, through its postofhce
department, has been Substituting this trust for many years at a
cost of $%G0O00,000 annually, the payment of this great subsidy
obiging the American people to pay excessive letter postage IN
order that the postal service might be maintained. 1t has been
shown to the department of justice that the trust has absolute
control of the sale and circulation of magazines and periodicals and
that retail dealers who do not sell at trust prices have their sup.
plies cut off. There is a system of fines for offending dealers. The
charges also anege that news agencies are prevented from making
competitive bids in prices for subscriptions to periodicals to any
library or institution maintaining a public reading room, and the
libraries and reading rooms are forced to pay higher prices for
magazines and periodicals. than they would otherwise pay. The
trust is therefore not only in restraint of trade, but also of popular
enlightenment. And the concerns embraced in this trust have been
and are subsidized for millions by the government that now has to
prosecute it!

Unsanitary Milk Cans.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
I would like to make a little com
plant against the unsanitary use of
milk cans. 1 was visiting a small dairy
in the city recently and 1 saw them put
milk In cans which were not ON
pletely cleansed at the bottom, and out
of which they had to drive flies before
they poured the milk in.
This is only one case which vas
brought to my attention. Would it not
be a good scheme to compel the milk
dealers to bottle all their milk at the
dairy? Bottles are much easier to
cleanse and dry than the larger cans
and the milk would not need so much
handling. The same dealer told me
that his place is only inspected every
month or so. CITIZEN.

LAW GUARDING "OLD GLORY"

So far Congress has enacted no stat
ute for the protection of our national
standard since February 20, 1905, and
then only so far as to prohibit the reg
istering of any trademark having upon
it the flag or coat of arms of the United
States. The Goulden bill prohibits the
placing of any advertisement Of any
nature upon the flag of the United
States or of any State, or anyone's
exposing or causing to be exposed to
public view for ale or to give away
any flag, standard, color or ensign so
painted or marked as described" 1t
also makes it a misdeameanor for any
one publicly to mutilate or insult the
flag.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
How long will it take the Board of
Works to wake up to the fact hat the
present system of cleaning the streets
Is as unsanitaryt almost as leaving the
dirt where it lies? Notwithstanding
the fact that the streets are s~prinkled
before the sweepers are sent over them,
more or less dust. probably more, is
bound to fly about and get to the lungs
of passersby and into windows of ad-
jacent dwellings.
Other progressive cities use motor
trucks for this work. which not only
sweep up the dust, but carry 1t off
without letting it rise from the streets.
The investment would amount to
something, of course, but in the end
there would be a big saving in labor,
and, most of all, in time and efficiency.
Yours, PEDESTRIAN.

Wilson Again Criticized.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Let me call attention to the fact that
the printing of the seasonal laws of
the Legislature has been delayed this
year beyond all reason. Thanks mainly
to the excursion Of our argonautie
Governor in search of a golden fleece
those who have need for copies of the
laws, and who must wait the pleasure
of his wandering excellency, are at a
sore disadvantage to know the exact
terms of numerous wise and unwise
statutes recently placed on the books.
Yours sincerely, LAWYER.

P1endr for courtesy to Women.

Pleads for Courtesy to Women.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Poor Mere Man who protests
against giving up his seat to a woman
In a trolley car ls to be pitied!
Why should he, a Woodworking man,
give up his seat to one who shops all
day?
Mere Man surely does not stop to
consider that he is rather hasty. He
has not stopped to think that women
are much weaker than men insofar as
their physical constitution is con-
cerned. He has also lost rae of the
fact that even in these days of woman
suffrage the pretty amenities accorded
women by men through reason of the
fact that physically they are stronger
Is not dying out, nor will this custom,
handed down to us, and so s~trikingly
evidenced in Sir Walter Raleigh's case,
be eradicated while we can consider
ourselves gentlemen.
Again, Mere Man seemingly does
not realize hat women ever get tired.
Let him try a few hours shopping
and then have to stand up in a car.
I have worked all day long, and I
would much prefer this han the after
effects of a shopping tour, which is
far more e%nervating physically than
a hard days work.
And so, I think our friend should
look somewhere else for his complaint
and not hurt himself in the ewes of all
good fellow men who can appreciate
the woman's right to what little cour-
tesy, unfortunately. she is now being
shown. B. A. c.

THAT STATE DEPARTMENT GRAFT.

@ UMMING up the facts disclosed by the investigation of the
scandal in the state department at Washington over the
. purchase of a portrait for $3.50, for which a voucher for
$2,450 was put on file, the House committee says in its report: 1.-The
indisputable facts show that $1,000 was in the possession of Nor
rison as discussing clerk and Michael as chief clerk, and it's dis
position is unaccounted for except by the letter of Michael to the
state department in 1906, saying he turned it over to Secretary
Hay, who at the time of said letter was dead" Prosecution of the
implicated officials is barred by the statute of limitations, but these
men are in the government service and one is now consulgeneral
at Calcutta. The committee recommends that they be dismissed.
tits up to Secretary Knox. The outrageous reflection upon the late
distinguished Secretary John Hay by one of the implicated men
should insure his going at once.

CANDIDATES BY BATTALIoNS.

M COMMISSION government in Trenton opened the hoodgates,
" and the petitions for commissionership jobs have come IN SO
fast that the official machinery has been kept working over
time to receive and file them. 1t was hardly suspected that there
existed in quiet and prosaic Trenton such an inveterate itch for
public office. Sedate people are rubbing their eyes in wonder, AT
the rate the petitions have come in it seems as If the whole com
munity will be candidates for commissionerships by the time the list
is made up. If it is so bad in Trenton, imagine what it would be
in Jersey City or Hoboken, where it is said that every schoolboy
graduates with the ambition of public office. And IN MS multiply
ing of candidates., what kind Of a set of commissioners will the
town get and by what kind of pluralihes? There is going to be an
interesting study in the results Of the commission government cleo
ton in Trenton.

views on Commission Rule.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
1 see that the commission form of
government has been handed a few
more hard blows. Following the ex-
ample set by Bayonne. New Brunswick
and Hoboken defeated the proposition
yesterday by overwhelming majorities.
I expect the measure will meet the
same fate in many other municipalities
In the near future. 1 guess the adher-
m are not quite so sanguine now
as they were when they started the
