SUBSCRIPTION ORDER MODIFIED.

In keeping with his policy OF rem
dering less stringent come OF the
regulations affecting second-class mail,
Postmaster General Hitchcock has is
sned an order granting full year as
the period in which copies Of second
class publications On which subacrip-
tions have expired viii be accepted at
the second-class postage rates. This
viii give many publishers greater
opportunity to secure renewal of such
subscriptions.
The regulation thus rescinded fixed
various periods ranging from three
months to a year. according to the
frequency with which the publication
was issued. Fir. Hitchcock failed to
see any coed reason why there
should be this determination between
publishers in the privilege OF mailing
copies 70 persons whose subscriptions
had expired. Owing to the varying
periods prescribed, the old regulation
was difficult of enforcement. and re-
suited in much annoyance to the de-
partment and to publishers.

We don't blame the Baltimore pa

leaves the east takes that much en-

true to their constituencies if they
did not boost for their own communi-

business residence there.
But we can all profit by the exam
pie set by these eastern boosters. We
can all boost for Iowa; we can all
pay more attention to her splendid

may keep many a young man in Iowa
who would be otherwise inclined to
pack his grip and bctake himself to
