REPLY
TO PUBLISHERS
Asserts Increase in Postage
Has Been Exaggerated.

Postmaster General Hitchcock issued
page advertisement published by Every
body's magazine. in which an attack was
made on the proposed increase in second
class postage carried by the postal bill
now pending in the Senate. He says that
the figures Of the Post-office Department
show that Everybody's does not mail TO
exceed 3on,0pO copies per monthly issue.
and he figures that the postage under
the new rate would be an increase of
s, 40 over the amount paid at the present
time. or an increase OF $4,000 per year.
The department figures for the fiscal
year 1910" he says. show that Every
bOdys Magazine mailed at the New York
p"st-office "a 30 pounds OF it's issues
as second-class matter. on which the
postage, at l cent a pound rate, was
S25, 47230. Considering one-half OF the
pages OF the publication. on an average.
devoted to advertising. the proposed rate
of cents per pound would make the
total increase in additional postage
about $4,000 per annum. instead OF sl5O,-
900, as stated by the publishers of Every
body's.
Before the Senate committee reported
the bill providing for the increased rate
on seCond-class matter" continued Mr.
Hitchcock. the publishers OF Every
body's Magazine announced that on and
after March s. 1911. their rates for ordi-
nary advertising would be advanced from
500 To 500 page. This rate will result
in the magazine receiving more than
$1,000 per annum increased income
from advertising. On the extremely con-
serYative estimate that the magazine car
ries monthly average of $50 advertising
pages. the proposed new rate on advertis-
ing shortly to become effective will pro-
duce an additional income of $4,000 per
annum from that source. As the pro-
posed increase OF postage during a like
period will amount TO approximately
$4,000, II is evident that out of the in
crease of revenue alone the magazine will
be enabled to pay the additional postage
and still retain a handsome surplus for
the stockholders without in the slightest
manner affecting the annual profits they
are now receiving. Assuming, however
that the increase in the advertising rate
Will result in a cuTtanment of business
the fact remains that the profit resulting
from the increase in question will be
more than ample to meet the proposed
increase in postage and leave handsome
surplus besides"

Toronto. Feb. 1.-THE Court of Appeals
held to-day that Manager Hosarth. Of

The telegraph company was charged

bookmaking. betting. and wagering upon
a horse race. but in the opinion of the
court no wrong intent was shown. The
Judge also held it was quite proper for
telegraph companies to have offices at
race tracks.

DISCUSS POPULAR ELECTION.
Democratic Senators VIII Oppose
the Sutherland Amendment.

Democratic Senators in formal confer
ence yesterday discussed the action the
minority should take on the resolution
proposing a Constitutional amendment
for the election of Senators by popular
vote The most important part OF the
conference was the discussion relating to
the amendment by Senator Sutherland,
the object of which is to retain TO the
Federal government control over the cleo
tions in the States to choose Senators.
Senator Clarke, of Arkansas, was the
only Southern Democrat present who ex-
pressed willingness to support the
Sutherland amendment. He declared that
the amendment was not fraught with
the danger to the Southern people that
they apprehended.
A majority of the Southern Senators
present expressed their willingness to
vote for the resolution even If the
amendment were added, but there were
enough who avowed themselves as being
opposed to it to indicate the defeat of
the resolution in the event the Sutherland
amendment is added

In an ippassioned appeal to his COL
leagues in the Senate to disregard
popular clamor- and to settle the case OF
United States Senator William Lorir1er
on the law and the evidence, Senator
Bailey, of Texas, yesterday brought to
a close his speech defending Lortmers
title to his seat 1t has been quite a
while since so much earnestness and fer
vor were put into a legal argument deltv-
cred in the Senate.
The Senator from Texas is usually an
attractive orator, and his speech yester-
day made a profound impression on many
of his colleagues, as was evidenced in
many ways Senator Tillman. of South
Carolina, who has not been in very good
health seemed very much affected by II.
and other Senators exhibited unusual in
terest and appeared to be more or less
impressed
If l were actuated in my course in this
case by a personal friendship for Senator
Lorimer. which | am not" said Mr..
Bailey, Il would want to see him un-
seated. Then the Illinois legislature, I'm
less it is as corrupt as it has been pic
tured by the Senator from Ohio CMr. Bur
toni, would make answer to the charge
that has been made against II by re-
electing Lorimer by an overwhelming
majority
Replies to Root and Burton.
Senator Bailey commented upon the
sweeping accusation against the Illinois
legislature made by Senators Root and
Burton The Senator from New York
declared that thirty members of the Illi-
nois legislature were corrupt and had
characterized them as a band of rob-
bers." The Senator from Ohio had gone
further and declared that the evidences
OF corruption were so general that any
election by the Illinois legislature might
properly be declared invalid.
Appealing to Senators not to be swept
away by a clamOr for Dorimer's eviction,
the Senator from Texas declared:
Z his American republic, in my opinion.
is in more danger from cowardice than
It is from corruption. l deny that the
United States Senate is venal or corrupt
The American people do not believe that
the Senate is venal; nobody believes that
except a few pseudo-refOrmers-'
Seek Form of Agreement.
Senator Root and Senator Bailey made
another effort yesterday to agree on the
form Of legal statement which should
govern the Lorimer case. Senator Root
stated it as follows:
IF the officer whose election is chal-
lenged did not personally participate in
or encourage or sanction the bribery. the
election cannot be voided unless it ap-
pears that the result was materially af-
fected by the bribery shown. If, on the
whole testimony, the Senate be of the
opinion that but for the influence of cor
rUPt methods or practices employed the
candidate could not have been elected, /
then the election shall be declared void
At the conclusion of Senator Bailey's
address another effort was made to fix
date for a vote on the LOrimer case.
Senator Beveridge, of Indiana invited
Senator Burrows, chairman of the Com
mttee on Privileges and Elections. to
join him in an agreement to be submitted
to the Senate for unanimous approval
that the vote be taken on Thursday next
or, on Monday next. Mr.. Burrows object
ed. however. but said that there would
undoubtedly be a vote on the Lorimer
case at this session.
