cTS HE parcels post scheme in the postofnce appropriation bill
contemplates the increase of the weight allowed in the mails
from four to eleven pounds and reduces the postage from
sixteen to twelve cents per pound. This is no more than foreigners
now are allowed by our postal laws, as the United States has par
cells posts conventions VITA nearly all the countries of Europe, Asia
and America, by which unsealed packages may be sent to and from
the United States at the rate of twelve cents a pound. Packages at
that rate can be sent to and from New Zealand. But a package
sent between Newark and Elizabeth pays postage at the rate of
sixteen cents a pound. This outrageous discrimination by our laws
against the American citizen has been maintained by express com
pany influence at Washington, and at the same time the express
company transports the foreigners package across the continent
at about 20 per cent. of the rate charged to the American shipper.
The postofhce appropriation bill merely puts the American citizen
on a par with the foreigner. The latter in his own country can
mail domestic packages at the rate of seven or eight cents a pound.
The reformed rates fixed for the American citizen is more than a
third greater

NAT HETHER the priceless art treasures collected and owned
WY by T. Morgan are to be a gift TO the nation is a question
that only Mr.. Morgan can answer. The general belief is
that they will constitute his legacy to posterity and will perma-
nently be held by the Metropolitan Museum as public property.
The transferral of the Morgan collection now in London to New
York is probably with the object of having all the art treasures
placed in the museum before Mr.. Morgan's decease. A man of the
systamatic business methods of Mr.. Morgan would not fail to
provide IN hE lifetime against nischances If he had in mind 9 great
object such as suggested. Mr.. Morgan has done more for art in
the United States than any other mar and his munfcence will
serve to raise the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which is really a
national institution, to the level of the Louvre Gallery in Paris.
Inspired by his example other men of wealth have made great con
tributnns to the museum and many Others will follow. The Metro
poitan Museum will be more richly endowed than any other in the
world, and it will be a magnet to attract to itself the best of the
worlds art treasures that are not permanently placed in national
galleries.

"One time when the collection plate
was being passed around" said the
dominic, this stingy old man held
tightly on to q rnutilated nickel as he
closed his eyes and Joined en,otionelly
In the song
when we asun6er part
It gives us inward pain:
But we shall still be Joined In heart
And hope to meet again."
And the nickel dropped with a dull
sound IN the plate.

Wednesday night made "the night OF
the big wind in Ireland" as he has
heard It related, a gentle zephyr In
comparison. He says that many years
ago there WAS q big wind-storm in
ton not only on land but also at sea,
when houses were blown down and the
ships in the harbors were blown upon
the beaches, resulting in a great loss
OF life.

MOVING PICTURES OF OUR NAVY.

MAI OWING pictures can be made both instructive and highly
AVN popular, driving out the vulgar shows that fill American
towns. A suggestion is contained in the authorization by
ue navy department of the taking of moving pictures of the bat
seships while engaged in evolutions and target practise. The pic.
lures will show the great guns in action and all the details of the
fleet, including the animated life on the decks of the battleships.
IL "a readily be understood how these pictures will be appreciated
throughout the country, and especially by the millions in the in
terror who have never seen a ship of the navy and have hazy ideas
OF naval things. In the same way the government might have
educational They would teach the people more about our nation
capital and of life in our dependencies. These would be highly
moving pictures taken Of army evolutions, of scenes at the national
than any textbook.

TRIBUTE TO pRlvcEToN,s NEW PRESIDENT

oS BE enthusiasm at the Princeton Alumni banquet at the Wal
dof last night over President John Grier Hibben, of the
university, and the fervent tributes paid to him had no
parallel In Princeton history. The incident was suggestive of the
reaction of feeling among the university alumni since the retirement
Of the former president, Woodrow Wilson. 1t will be recalled that
during his incumbency of Office there was dissension in the man
agement and discomfort in the student body and among the alumni,
and satisfaction was openly expressed when the presidency was
vacated. Nor did the application of the retiring president to the
Carnegie Fund for a pension serve to conciliate the feeling. In the
demonstration at the banquet last night there was all the evidence
of a happy sense of relief, of a feeling that the university had now
come into its own.
