top, through which the sun may shine
on the growing plants while the place
will become a delight for FL Pasoans
and visitors to the city.
This building IS 500 feet long and 40
feet wide and would make the largest
conservatory in the state of Texas. It
is the opinion of the present park COM
missioner that it could also be made
a profitable investment for the city,
for he thinks enough money could be
raised from the sale of plants to pay
expenses and make the parks of FL
Paso If-sustaining. This improve
ment would cost in the neighborhood
of $4,000, a small outlay when one con-
sfders the ultimate large returns on
the investment.
Famous San JacintO Park.
Most widely known throughout the
country is San Jaeinto plaza, the first

Main street, and east by Mesa ave-
nue., this park is a place of wonder.
Nesting right in the heart Of the bust

was active in the protect which arose
when the postmaster general issued
his famous economy order" While
Mr.. Hitchcock was requested to rein

LISTEN TO THIS!

Judge Howard HOLSTER Of Cincin-
natl, one of President Taft's appoin-
tees, has decided i'm effect that the
great express companies are beyond
all legal control. Either that decision
or the express companies ought to go.
Whichever one it might be thai would
have to go should have Judge Howard
HOLSTER going with it.
Judge HOLSTERS decision adds one
to many other reasons why the bill of
Congressman David Lewis of Mary
land, putting an end to the express
monopoly, ought to pass.

WE, BEAT RUSSIA IN
CENSORSHIP OF PRESS

Over a decade ago officials of the
Post Office Department started cam
paign for a restricted circulation of
the public press, and for this purpose
demanded of Congress an increase OF
the postage rate, adopted a eide OF
laws extraneous to the laws passed
by Congress, and enforced them with
the help of small army of inspectors
and secret star4chamber court
In the course Of six years of revolr.
tionary ferment and it's aftermath
from December Z, 1905, to October IA
1911, the Russian authorities confis-
Gated issues of newspapers and perio-
ideals in 1,O55 cases. In 28S of these
cases the issues confiscated were de-
stroyed and in IL cases certain pages
of articles were removed by order Of
the court. These figures refer only to
confscations which were subsequently
approved by the courts. 1.
In the United States of America
during the same period, 1905 to 1911,
inclusive, 5,236 publications were
denied access to or elected from the
mails, resulting in permanent sus-
pension of issues. in many cases with
little less disastrous results to the
owners than would have been the con-
fiscation of types, presses, and other
printing and publishing equipments.
In Russia the confiscation of 1865
publications applied Sonly to certain
specific issues or parts of issues, not
to the publications themselves, in
every case the authority for the pro-
cedure being justified by regularly
constituted courts.
In the United States the confisca-
ton covered the whole establishments,
to the ability and right to publish
further issues, without appeal to the
courts, and based not upon any we'll
defined OF MISUNDERSTOOD laws of
Congress, but upon certain multitudin-
GUS, obscure, arbitrary rules and regu-
lations, varying according to the no.
tions of the official who happened to
occupy the seat of power, and chang
ing from year to year.
The exucse for such mild exhibition
of Russian despotism was the publi-
cation Of articles inimical to the
Government; the sole pretext in the
United States for such drastic and
arbitrary action was the authority
given to the Postmaster General by
Congress for the classification of mail
matter. The pretended justification
was that the Government lost money
on second-class matter, condition
that did not exist.
OF course the real reason for this
campaign was to conceal the fact that
excessive payments to railroad for
carrying the mails had caused de-
felt. In order to protect railroad
graft the Cleveland, Mckinley, Roose-
] welt and Taft administrations have
thrown freedom of the press to the
Wheeling majority. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1907-192?, 1912-05-16

the purpose of recessing until that
time, while ostensibly to give an op-
portunity for the Committee to COM
plete their work, was also due to the
fact that about one-half of the dele
gates were candidates before the
primaries for some either legislative
or executive Office, and it was neces-
sary that they be given some time, of
course, to devote to their personal
campaign.
Among the labor delegates who are
candidates are Delegate Stillwell, of
Cuyahoga County, who is running for
congressman in the Twenty-first DIS
trict; Delegates Farrell and Davie of
the same county, who want to come
back to Columbus next winter as rep
resentatives. Delegate Tetlow, who
wantsto represent Columbiana coun-
ty; Lambert, Jackson county; Kunkle
Muskingum county, and Hoffman,
Hamilton county, and Read of Summit
county. As each OF these delegates
of labor merits the award that comes
with the motto of having well done
thou good. and faithful servant" the
workers who still vote with the old
political parties will turn out at the
primaries, and show their apprecia-
ton Of the services rendered by them
in this Constitutional Convention, by
nominating them as candidates for
these respective positions. III.
