written reason OF any. suspicious per-
son who persists in the use Of the
general delivery.
1.-The department should go fur
ther,' said Postmaster Merrick today.
AN order should be issued that no
one can get mail through the general
delivery for greater period than 80
days. This period would enable all
to get suitable address where mail
should be sent. There is no excuse
for person getting mail at the gen
eral delivery, the work at which costs
the government more than to deliver
by carrier"
Young girls who want to correspond
with men without their parents con
sent, are the worst offenders. They
are numerous in the general delivery
corridor, and 1t Is for the protection
of them that the greatest effort Is
made. In addition to receiving mail

Portland's postoffice will not be per-
smitted to become a rendezvous for
clandestine meetings, nor the medium
for promoting waywardness of young
girls and frivolous wives, says the
Portland Telegram. A check is to be
kept on the general delivery, to see
that all who have been using this
medium for improper purposes shall
stop. For several years the indiyid-
ual postmasters, including those here,
have fought to prevent girls getting
mail at the general delivery, and to
stop both men and women who make
1t a practise of receiving mail there
which they do not want to go to their
homes. Postmaster General Hitchcock
has anctioned the effort in an order
issued at Washington, and has author

Letter c. Coincidence.
At the suggestion of the president,
q motiona was carried that a letter of
coincidence on the death of the EN-
peror of Japan be sent to the Japan
csc Consul General.
1t was decided to call the annual
meeting of the Chamber for Wednes-
day next at two o'clock p. m, and
the president was authorized to ap
point a committee to nominate
ticket of 'officers and trustees.
President Spalding recommended
to the committee on harbors and
transportation that it take up the
matter Of agitating anew for the per-
manent stationing of a revenue cut.
ter here. The importance of thus
subject was emphasized during the
Inter-Island strike, when a revenue
cutter would have come in opportune-
ly for carrying the United States
mails. There was possibility of emer-
gency at any time when the presence
of a revenue cutter here would be of
great assistance.

lobbying conducted by the refin-
ing interests mentioned, has been
so jealous as 10 defeat its very
purpose. Nobody believed that
the money was spent by, them for
this agitation FOL purely philan-
thropic motives, and this natnr-
ally led TO an investigation Of the
real reasons for this activity in
this direction. An analysis Of the
sugar tariff reYeaied the fact
that this is probably the most
dispensible in the entire list as
ii produces sixty millions revenue
annually for the Government, and
imposes what Is practically no
burden at all on the consumer.
At the same time II furnishes
sufficient protection to the pro-
Queer so as to enable him, within
few years TO raise sufficient do
nestle cane and beet sugar to
supply all requirements Of the
population Of this commodity.
ANY material reduction in the
duty on sugar for the next few
years Is therefore not only I'M
likely, but extremely impossible,
IL for only the reason that the
. Government requires the revenue
desired therefor. The per cap
Z tia consumption of sugar in the
United States has been Stats
tically computed at so lbs. How
ever, this includes all the sugar
used In canning, preserving,
manufacturing of candies and
other confectionery, etc, so that
the household consumption Of
sugar certainly does not average
over 20-25 lbs. per capita. No
one will seriously contend that :
an abolition of the import duty
on sugar would result in reduc-
ton in cost to the consumer of
jellies, preserves, candies, etc.
The only saving that could pos
sibly be effected would be on
sugar consumed in household use.
This maximum individual saving
would total AIN cents per cap
ita per annum, provided that, the
consumer received the entire ben
eft of all the duty. This is ex-
tremely improbable, as the refin-
ing interests would reap most of
this advantage by maintaining
the present or nearly the present
level of prices for the refined
sugar. It will therefore be seen
that the possible benefit of the
free. raw sugar to the consumer
are illusory and that the refining
interests are the only. ones who
would materially benefit by such
an act.
We are giving you the above
information and views at length,
in the belief that they may be of
interest to your planters and
others interested in the sugar in
dustry. T..
Yours very truly, .

the best roads If neglected soon go to

1t is utterly useless to establish a
state highway system without at the
same time providing an adequate
source of revenue. Unless there IS a
surplus in the treasury for this pur-
pose special tax should be levied or
a state bond issue should be author
tied. On the theory that automobiles
