To a considerable extent this abuse

To considerable extent this abuse
is of long standing; it has held a
recognized place among the "per-
quisites" of members of congress and
has been used by them in aid of their
party and personal campaign COM
mittees. But the size to which this
graft" has grown is shown to be stu
pendous beyond the imagination Of
those who practiced it in earlier days.
1t must now be reckoned with among
the official robberies of the people
which honest administration seeks to

and at regular rates it should have
brought to the government nearly
100000, 900. OF this total, it is figured
that sS,250,OOO is to be charged
against the free carriage of political
speeches, reports and partisan docu-
ments of all kinds. Congressman
jammed this stuff into the Congress
sional Record, thus rendering it frank
able. 1t is stated that one complete
party handbook for the campaign was
fixed in this way for free distribution
through the mail. "'

1t is natural impression that un-
der the circumstances the dissolution
Will have little effect on rates and
service. The dissolution of other
trusts under the benevolent direction
of Attorney General Wickersham has
seemingly produced no good. The
government has never gone far
enough 1t has never invoked the
criminal section of the antitrust law.
Nor has II ever barred holding COM
panies and interlocking directorates.
The government so far has acted in
a prefunctory manner rather than
with keen desire to bring results for
the people.
The wording OF the supreme
courts anti-merger order, however.

reads like business. The Utah circuit
court is directed to take charge OF
the dissolution and the supreme court
suggests the decree should enjoin the
voting of Southern Pacific stock
while owned by the Union Pacific or
held by any corporation or person for
the Union Pacific. 1T should forbid
any transfer or disposition thereof in
such wise as to continue its control
and should provide an injunction
against payment of dividends upon
such stock while thus held, except to
a receiver to sbe appointed BY the
court who shall collect and hold such
dividends until disposed Of by the
courts decree" o.
II the dissolution order does not
bring the desired results it will be up
to the incoming administration to
take steps to remedy the situation.
In this connection the democratic
trust plank becomes of special sig
nificance Two paragraphs are as
follows
"a private monopoly is indefensible
and intolerable. We therefore favor
the vigorous enforcement of the GRIM
inal as we'll as the civil law against
trusts and trust officials, and demand
the enactment of such additional leg
islation as may be necessary to make
it impossible for a private monopoly
to exist in the United States
I'VE favor the declaration by law
of the conditions upon which cor
porations shall be permitted to engage
in interstate trade, including among
others, the prevention of holding COM
panies, of interlocking directors, Of
stock watering, of discrimination in
price and the control by any one cor
poration of so large a proportion of
any industry as to make it a menace
to competitive conditions"
In view of the fact a president and
a congress pledged to such policies
will very shortly take the reins of
government it may be the supreme
courts order will take on new sig
nificance

There are two big reasons why the
government faces a postal deficit each

Causes OF the Uncle Sam pays the
Postal Deficit. railroads entirely too
much for carrying
the mails. It has been charged that
the railroads receive more for trans
porting first class mail bag than for
carrying a first class passenger Of
equal weight. Whether that Is true
or not it seems certain that excessive
rates are paid the roads for hauling
the mails.
The other reason for the annual de-
ficit is the abuse Of the franking pri-
vilege. Criticlsing this growing graft

follows:

WOULD SET ASIDE
 LARGE JUDGMENT
Hummer in Motion Alleges Defendant Was Not Given
 Fair Treatment

Motion was made yesterday in the city court by Attorney D. J. Hummer to set aside the $5O,00 judgment ren- dered Wednesday in the third dlVlsioh of the court, Judge John H. Miller pre- siding. The motion alleges that the Judgment was erroneous and illegal and that the defendant had meritori- ous defense to the cause of the action'
 It is alleged that the case was pend- ing before Judge Ferguson when the judgment was taken in the division or the court over which Judge Miller pre- sides. The confusion seems to have arisen from the fact that the cases from the second division of the court were transferred to the third division, Judge Miller having concluded the docket set for the day, and Judge Ferguson being engaged in a lengthy case No intima- ton was made to Judge Miller that the case was held in abeyance until the attorney for the defense could produce a certain certificate and he took up the case in the regular order.
 The motion will be heard Saturday and among other things says;
 ''L. H. LaRue, Adm. Plaintiff vs F. C.
 Summers, Defendant-In the City
 Court of Birmingha.
 Now comes the defendant in the above entitled cause and moves the court to set aside the judgment rem dered in said cause on the 30th day of october, 1912. and allow the said cause to be reinstated, and for grounds of said motion sets down and assigns the following. viz:
 T. That the said cause was set for trial before Judge Ferguson in the sec ond division of the said court and was called peremptorily at ? o'clock on the goth Of october in said second divis- ion; that on the plaintiff announcing ready the defendant, through his at torney, moved the court for continu- ance, and in support of his motion pre- sented certificate of the illness of the defendant Upon it being suggested by the plaintiff that the certificate was not duly sworn to, the court gave the coun- sel for the defendant time to get a Iproper certificate in support of his mo- tion. Defendants counsel, in the pres ence and hearing of the counsel for the plaintiff requested leave and time oi | the court to go to Ensley, where the
 defendant and certifying physician lived, to get the certificate and that the court granted the time necessary tc secure this proof"

 Mr. McNeel writes that the chances are overwhelmingly in favor of Will sons election, declaring that he will probably carry many of those states that have been conceded to Roosevelt
 The chances are overwhelmingly m favor of Wilson," writes MT.
