TO START WAR ON OPEN
FACE MAIL ENVELOPES.

MILWAUKEE,, Aug. 16.-Milwaukee
will send three delegates to the ma
tional convention of the Postof1ce
Clerks Association at Des Moines Sep
TENDER AS, instructed to start a fight
for the condemnation of the open-face
envelope by the postal department.
George Pfeiffer, national secretary,
will also attend and will be -one of
the leaders in the movement to have
this class of envelopes barred from the
malls. This is the transparent en-
velope used by many large business
houses. The mail clerks claim they
cause many delays and mistakes, as
IL is hard to read the names and adj
dresses through the transparent face.
The pension fund question will also
come up and though it rs understood
the department heads and Congress
are in favor of. granting pensions to
employees, the association will agitate
the matter continually, until final ac-
ton is taken.

Wants Time Limit eliminated.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
l read with much interest in your pa
per that the Public Utilities Commits
sion has at last compelled the Public
Service Corporation to make its trans
fers good at all points of intersection
instead of certain ones. Would it not
be well for the utilities commission to
take up the matter of time on trans
fers also? The company now allows
fifteen minutes and oftentimes when
one reaches his transfer station his
transfer is late. Would it not be a
good step to force the Public Service
to honor its transfers all day on the
day they are issued? 1t stands to rea-
son that If the company can afford to
carry it's passengers on two lines for
five cents hat 1t will not cost them
any more to take the time limit off,
and they would please the public very
much by doing so. PUBLIC.

Fl sENATE,s STAND ON THE TREATIES

II N the matter of the submission of vital points of national policy
u involving the nations welfare to the judgment and decision
of a joint international commission for arbitration the people
of the United States are of one mind. They will not tolerate any
thing of the kind. Such points are outside of arbitration. They are
as Interchangeable as the republic itself. One is the Monroe Doctrine.
President Cleveland, who was a man of peace and not given to
heroics, would have sustained that doctrine, if necessary, by a
war with England. That is one of the most admired acts OF his
career and it definitely fixed American policy. Great Britain has
subscribed to the Monroe Doctrine, so there is nothing to fear on
that score in the arbitration treaty with England. But all the
treaties are to be alike and there are European as well as Aslatlc
powes that have not recognized the Monroe Doctrine, but resent 1t.
In arbitration by a joint high commission the European sentiment
in the commission would be likely to be adverse to the Monroe
Doctrine. If we were solemnly pledged by treaty to accept and live
up to any decision by the arbiters the temptation would be presented
at once TO a European naval and colonizng power to secure a naval
station on the South American coast or occupy a South American
state, and then leave it to European arbiters to decide. Mr..
Taft in his speech at Ocean Grove last night said he was willing to
arbitrate anything in which he believed he had a good cause. AS
the universal belief in the United States is that the Monroe Doc
trine is a good cause, Mr.. Taft would have that arbitrated. The
question of the Senates constitutional right to pass upon points
in a treaty is necessarily a vital one. The treaties provide that the
Joint high commission shall decide what points shall be arbHral.
Congress and the President are to have no say and the Senate,
which is part of the treatyImaking power, is to be gagged. 1t
would be strange, indeed, if the American nation should sanction
any treaty under such conditions.

WILL EFFECT BIC
SAVING ON MAILS
Change in System of Payment
to Railroads Recommended
by Postmaster General.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-Radical
readjustment of the methods of COM
putting the pay of railways for trans
porting the mails, which will effect an
annual saving of approximately $1,000
600, was recommended to Congress
yesterday by Observation-Disclosures
Hitchcock.
Mr.. Hitchcock purposes to effect
such saving by paying the railroads on
the basis of cost with 6 per cent.
profit. The plan provides that all rail-
ways shall report annually to the
acknowledgement the expenses in
CURED in carrying the mails. in order
that the department may determine
the cost to the railways and a fair rate
of profit.
The method of fixing railway mail
pay in accordance with weight has
proved expensive and unsatisfactory,
and it is proposed to abandon 1t en-
tirely, says Mr.. Hitchcock.

in INCREASE OF
BIRTHS STARTLES FRANCE.

The publication of the vital statistics
for 1910 has given France another at
tack of nerves. The excess of births
over deaths is only 1851. as against
81, 061 in the previous year. In England
the excess is about 800, 900. The death
rate also has considerably diminished.
and while this in itself is satisfactory
it still further Gccentuates the gravity
of the main figures. But even the lower
~death-rate is largely due to a decrease
in the humble of births, since the chief
mortality is always among the newly
born. Thanks to the progress of hy-
giene the infant mortality has fallen
from IA per cent. in 1906 to 70 per cent.
at the present time.-The Argonaut.

cS RENTONS new commission government, elected yesterday,
consists of three Democrats and two Republicans, all closely
identified with the two political party organizations. The
change effected substitutes a board of five politicians for a mayor
and a political aldermanic board. The form of government has
altered, but the character of the personnel remains. 1t is putting
old wine into new bottles. The commissioners who will assume
Office next week will have much greater power than the council
which is now to go out of existence, with more opportunities for
abuse of power. 1t will be less exposed to adverse criticism, be-
cause with control of a large patronage and other official favors
there are means to silence possible critics and even convert them
into eulogists. But Trenton has adopted the new form of govern
ment and must abide by it, and Trenton is a good place for the
experiment to be tried out in this State.

THE Joke" OF NEW YORK SEWERAGE.

SITa HE New York Times confesses that "the sewage disposal ss-
Ii TEN of New York is the best joke of the summer season.
In due sense it is. 1t is a joke when New York talks of
having a sewage disposal system. A city that connects its sewers
with the North and East rivers and bay and turns all the crude
sewage of more than four millions of population into these streams
Mt the surface had best have nothing to say on the subject of
sewage disposal except by way of discussing the means of remedy.
Still less should it say about the sewerage systems of its neighbors
on the bay or it's tributaries. But the Times, which acknowledges
the joke of New York sewage disposal, has been one of the most
inveterate as well as leastinformed critics of the PaSsaic sewer,
which is intended to drain the 'Passaic valley and discharge nothing
bit the ef1uent of the sewage into the bay.

TAKES PHOTOGRAPHS OF
THOUGHTS, SAYS DARGET.
Impressions of Concrete Objects
Successfully Imaged.

PARIS, Aug. 16.-Much interest has
been aroused here by the announce
ment OF the well-known scientific in
v~estigator, Commander Darget. of the
success of experiments in photograph
ing human thought.
Commander Darget, VINO has Q
a long time to the study of hypnotism
and kindred subjects. has stated to the
Academy of Sciences that after many
trials, he a succeeded in obtaining
Photographic impressions of
of concrete objects. He produced as
evidence two photographs, one showins
a walking stick and the other a bot
tie, in ZACH case the image being per-
fectly distinct.
In explanation of his achievement,
Commander Darget gave the following
account of the process:
After staring a long time on the OBJ
ject to be photographed in a strong
red light, concentrating all his atten-
ton on 1t, he fixed his gaze with all
the will power at his command on a
Photographic plate that had pre-
viously been immersed in a weak de-
veloper in a dark room. At the end
of a quarter of an hour the image OF
the object appeared on the negative.
According to the commanders the
ory, these astounding results are due
to certain obscure light rays which he
calls "V'' rays.
AS the Academy of Sciences is the
highest official body of savants in
France, and all Commander Darget's
experiments were made in the presence
of six witnesses, there seems no doubt
as to their authenticity.

MAYBE USE FOR THE BLUE PENCIL.

STH HE controversy between Colonel Austen Colgate, the Regular
Ill candidate for the Republican nomination for senator, and
W Edmund B. Osborne. chairman of the Progressive Repub-
lican League, lends some gaiety to the opening campaign for the
Republican primaries. The militant Progressive chairman opened
the controversy with a spirited attack, which was replied to in
kind yesterday. Attack and repartee make good reading and help
to make party interest, but when both sides get warmed up they
are apt to entrench upon personalities. Messrs. Colgate and Os-
horne are both esimable citizens, and it would be regrettable to
see the controversy progress from the lie circumstantal to the lie
direct. And there is no occasion for these extremes. To avoid
real unpleasantness, the STAR offers the use of it's blue pencil.

THE VETO OF THE JUDICIAL RECALL.

IN, SINGLE clause in the Arizona Constitution, a clause preg'
mn nant with consequences, was the motive of President Taft
in vetoing the statehood resolution admitting Arizona and
New Mexico to the Union. Otherwise the resolution would have
been signed. The proposition for recall of judges by popular vote is
so entirely new to the American public and SO radical that 1t has
not been given any public discussion or even thought. The debates
on the subject in Congress were read with Indifferent interest, If
read at all. If Congress had sat right down upon the judiciary
recall and passed the resolution providing for its elimination there
would have been general assent, except, perhaps, in Arizona and on
the Pacific coast, where the question has some prominence and sup
port. The veto by the President, while it is commended to all
thoughtful minds, probably turns the question into an issue to
figure in Western elections, and it may be carried to the national
conventions in 1912.

DepIores Lynching.
Editor Of the Evening Scar:

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The lynching of a negro at Coates
Vile. Pa, or any other place for that
matter. is to be deplored, and in nine
out of ten cases would never occur II
the proper officials performed their
plain duties.
In the Coatesville case this seems
even more the truth, as from the facts
that are slowly leaking out it is ev-
len that threats of l%ynching had been
rampant in the town for at least
twelve hours before the actual occur-
renee. and yet 1t seems no effort was
made on the part of the officials to
properly safeguard the hospital whore
the negro was. Or to remove him 10
safer quarters. JAMES L. ADAMS.

British Peers Back Down.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The British peers have c%apitulated
as they always have done when the
Commons have fought long enough.
1t vas not, however. because the
House of Lords wished the veto bill
to go into effect. They have opposed
1t with all their might. To their mind
1t marks constitutional degeneracy-
just as the reform bill and the educa-
ton act did.
But the lords preferred Il abandon
their fight for a principle of Legislative
equity In which they fervently believed
rather than have. the exclusiveness OF
their caste broken by the creation OF
two or three hundred new peers.
In this the lords are not evincing the
spirit of being willing to fight for what
they believe, right or wrong, IN spite
Of whatever consequences might come
upon themselves. They are, however,
following the hoary and immemorable
practise of their own body. c. M.

probability peach shipments from Delaware will equal those of last
year, and if prices rate high it will be chiefly because they are

To the Editor OF the Evening Star.
1t is about time that the Public
Utilities Board took some action in
regard to the appeal for drinking cups
on railroad trains and stations. The
drinking-cup law, made effective at the
last session of the Legislature, is the
most asinine piece of law-making per-
fear that commo use of one cup by
all classes would spread disease is the
reason for this act.
In the first place, the individual, nc
matter what social class he belongs to,
will always take the precaution of
rinsing a cup before he uses it. This
has become a habit second to nature,
and I'll warrant that II a person were
to watch the procession of drinkers in
a public place he would find that only
two or three out of one hundred will
neglect to rinse the cup before using 1t.
There are also a large number OF
people who take the trouble to rinse
the cup after using it. Considering
everything, l do not think it was up
to the Legislature to deprive railroad
travellers of Advantageous without pro-
viding for them in some other manner
Many other matters of public interest
will bear as careful scrutinizing as
the Advantageous on railroads, and the
members of the Legislature could have
turned their attention elsewhere with
profit to the public.
The Board of Public Utilities has the
power to restore these drinking-cups
and the thing should be done al once
