Mail Box Removed

| For several years the railroad
company has maintained a mail
box IN the baggage room for
the accommodation Of the travel
irg Lublic but last week it was
removed and now the public
have no place to mail their let
ters at the depot. There is
never day passes but some
passenger gets of the train to
mail a letter but are unable to
do so until they get to some
other town. A government
mail box should be placed some
where on the platform and the
various mail clerks could re-
move the mail with but little
trouble. With a little boost on
the part of the citizens and the
railroad company a mail box
would surely be secured.

from securing capital necessary for the
service of community.
BY empowering the interstate commerce
commission to enforce publicity and to
MAKE physical valuations the commission
believes there will be no necessity Tor
law to require approval in advance for is
sues Of securities. Advance authorization,
the commission holds, would tend to Gre
ate on the part Of the investing public an
impression of a guaranty or ofncial rec
IGNITION Of values which no adHlnistra-
tive authority could safely give. The COM
missioners do not believe that the cost or
reproducing railroad properties. however
carefully computed, is the sole element to
be considered in determining the present
value Of a railroad. or that the outstand-
ing securities should be made to CONFORM
to any arbitrary standard.
The commission believes that the amount
and face value Of outstanding securities
has only an indirect effect upon the a. t.
ual making Of rates, and that 1t should
have little IL any weight in their regula-
ton.
The commission does not approve OF any
unqualified proposition to prohibit owner
ship Of stock Of one road by another. To
do So the report says. would involve too
much disturbance. Of existing relations
whatever may be the evils attendant upon
such holdings. It is recommended, how
ever. that wherever q group of men or

to buy the minority at the same price.

Low Rates in Foreign Countries.

The tables set forth the international
parcels post rates, showing that a parcel
may be mailed from the United States to
almost any other country at L. cents a
pound y similarly low but varying rate
prevails as to parcels from foreign coun-
tries to the United States, while our do
meStic rate is l cent an ounce, or Is
cents a pound. The tables show that the
domestic parcels post rates of the prin-
cipai countries are very materially lower
than the domestic rate on fourth class
matter in the United States
For instance, I'm the United King
dom, an eleven-pound package can be
sent from any post office to any other
post office in Great Britain for % cents.
In Germany the charge is II cents for
any package up to eleven pounds in
weight. The same rate prevails in
Austria and d lower rate in Belgium.
In Mexico, our neighbOring republic,
the rate varies from 6 cents for the
first pound to 90 cents for an eleven
pound package, while in the United
States a one-pound package requires Is
cents postage. and eleven pounds of
merchandise, which must be separated
into three packages. requires SIG.
Ten Cents for First Pound.
For the purpose of comparison there
is inserted in the tables a proposed
rate for the United States of 10 cents
for the first pound and cents for
each additional pound or so cents for
parcel Of the maximum weight and
the suggestion is made that half these
rates be charged on rural routes or
else made applicable to a fifty-miIe "a

Christian Scientist Belief.

THE Christian Scientist does not see in
his patient what the physician or chem
ist sees In mortal man, therefore he
makes no pretense OF healing matter as
substance. but as brief. To the Scientist
sickness is a mental presentation, de-
fectlve state Of thought God, who made
everything good. and without whom, as
st. John says, was not anything made
that was made is not the author of such
thought disturbances as produce sickness.
They do not enter into the divine con-
seriousness, and hence their appearing Is
illegitimate. 1t has been discovered that
Gods law. rightly understood and ap
piled, will antidote every phase of error
or discord which might take possession
of the human mind.
We ever place in the cemetery is the
human body Is said to be composed of.
Would it be profitable to labor merely
for the resuscitation Of that? But says
the critic, what Of the loved ones with
whom we associated and walked and talk
ed, and whom We knew by some fam liar
or endearing name. and who have passed
from our presence. where are th.yr
They were never more or less than con-
seriousness. and Christian Science teaches,
as common sense does, that conscious
ness never found a resting place beneath
six feet Of earth. Through its release
from a measure OF sense bondage, con-
seriousness must instantly experience in
a degree something OF the true resurrec-'
tion-the ascension OF thought to perceive
the Immortality Of lfe."

Grated to the level Of a material beast
indeed, 1t is even declared that he Is little
else than a mere speck of dust on the
desert of the universe.
"By strange process Of perversion and
substitution it is observed that the record
of the Adamic creation or dust type of
man has almost wholly superseded in our
lives that Of the spiritual or God-made
man.
Failing to discern the spiritual or true
man, q strenuous endeavor Is made to

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM PREACHED

christian Science was the subject Of
lecture delivered by Clarence c. Eaton
of Tacoma, Wash, at the National The
alter yesterday afternoon before an as
semblage that filled the house. Mr.. Eaton
was introduced by Senator Works of
California, who declared that the Chris
tian Scientists stood for religious free
dom and that they were not trying to
build up their religion by tearing down
other religions. Speaking Of the healing
by Christian Scientists, Senator Works
said:
I'VE recognize tho fact that there are
schools of medicine and their representa-
tives who are doing good and relieving
human suffering. There Is much sorrow
and suffering and disease in this world.
There is work for all of us to do. While
VIC are trying to teach the world that
there is just one true way Of healing
disease and just one great Omnipotent
Power by which disease can be healed,
VIC must recognize the fart that we have
not yet convinced the world of that great
fact. and therefore We recognize their
rights. until they believe as We do. to
resort to their means of healing"
