BUYING A STAMP IN GERMANY

The postoffices in Germany are pc
culiar institutions. They are far
sighted people. the Germans, and they
allow for expansion. If there are any
postoffices in the country or less than
three stores, must have overlooked
them. Every floor is divided into
about four departments and every de-
partment has about a dozen offices.
In some of the smaller towns.
where business is not very brisk, the
staff consists of one official. You
have to make an appointment with
him If YOU want to be served. Enter
ing on the ground floor, you run
round and tap with Your money at
every pigeonhole until he answers.
You then ask him for a stamp, where
upon he orders you to go to No. 4
pigeon hole and wait there till he
comes. You wait patiently for about
five minutes, and then he pops his
head out of No. and wants to know
If you've gone to sleep. When you
ask for a scent stamp, he says, "Oh.
l thought it was a penny one you
wanted" and instructs you to try at
No. I. At No. he probably discov-
ars he has run out of scent stamps.
/ and you have to go to windows. No
3 and No. IL and get two 2-cent ones
and a 1-cent.
BY this time YOU are getting quite
friendly, and when you ask him where
the telegraph office is, he will prob
ably get out his guide book and hunt
the place out for you. He may even
offer to take YOU there himself as
he's the telegraph clerk as we'll,
and has got to get there anyhow, in
order to attend to you.
The Germans themselves. when
they go to buy stamp, make day
Of it and take their lunch can with
them. 1t is quite a pretty sight to see
the mother and a group of children
sitting on the stairs, eating their
bread and sausage and wondering
whether father will remember them
when he comes back with the stamp

matters that are peculiarly their own.
If It be the motto of the French
police to look for the woman" 1t
would seem to be the motto of almost
everyone in Anglo-Saxon lands to
advise the woman"
Social standpatters condescendingly
tell her what is her place" and

Presidents and kaisers tell her her
duty, which is to bear many children,
Rashelor college professors tell her
how to economize.
"Jim" Hill occasionally tells her
how to keep house.
Preachers who have imbibed Wis
dom by sitting at the oily feet of Mr.
Rockefeller tell her how to hold her
husbands affections.

Hearst has been making a spectacle
of himself by trying to outdo Henry
Watterson in denunci-
Hearst and ations of Bryan, by
The Moderate criticising the demo-
Naval Policy. cratic platform and
taking a few side filings
at Governor Wilson. He is also bit
ter against Roosevelt and there are
some who declare he may support
Taft. Should he do so it would be
a great injustice to the president who
has troubles enough already
Hearst fails particularly at the dem
ocratic platform because it calls for
moderation in the construction of new
battleships He has also been de-
nouncing the democratic house of
representatives in scurrilous terms be-
cause they have shut down on the
two dreadnaughts year program and
have authorized but one battleship d
year.
The country never takes Hearst
seriously though and he will find
support particularly lacking when he
criticises the democratic naval policy
Most everybody wants the country to
have a good navy and is willing to
make reasonable additions in the way
of battleships. But there would be
no sense trying 10 outstrip England
and Germany in this regard. Those
countries live under arms and require
large navies to protect their posses
sions abroad America has few pos
sessions TO protect and should not
have all that we now hold.
Our need Of a great navy arises
largely from our possession Of the
Philippines, The islands do the coun-
Try n9 g8od and are rock tied to
the oouRtFg's neck, from q military
standpoint. As long as we retain the
Philippines the country will be in a
precarious position with reference to
Japan. while if it were not for the
philippines there would be nothing
to the japanese war bogey.
The best thing for the country to
do is to accept the Woodrow Wilson
version that this country does not
own the Philippine islands but has
simply "butted in" on their affairs
and should get out as soon as pos
sible. such a policy would please the
islanders immensely and would save
the United States all sorts Of needless
expense. Besides it would be the
right thing to do. America does not
own the Philippines. We merely pur-
chased a quit claim deed from Spain:
II was not title in fee, and we can
best show our regard for popular
government by granting the Philippi-
nos the same rights we desire to ex-
ercise ourselves.
The trouble with the two dread
naughts year program is that 1t Is
too costly. The North Dakota" cost
$4,000, 900 or ten times the cost Of
the Umatilla project. 1t costs a mil
lion dollars year to keep the North
Dakota going. Last year the country
spent total Of s283.0S6 900 for
preparations for war most Of
which sum went to the navy. 1t is
too much money for the country to
expend for such purpose. 1t would
be better to invest our money in I'm
come property" such as irrigation pro-
3ects, river and harbor improvements

The fact that enormous power can

that weak power, but strong enough

And the fact that electricity can ap-
