Why Our Slavery to Clothes.

The Waterbury American voices its
annual wonder as to why it is that
we, in times of great heat, insist
upon draping ourselves in $50 worth
OF all-wool, when for SIS worth of cot
ton we could be vastly more com
Portable and even better looking.
Why is it, anyway? Rudyard Kip
ling, sallying forth into New York
day which he found hotter than any
thing he had known in India, wore \
suit of cheap but cool, white cloth,
topped by pith helmet. SO I'M
pleasantly conspicuous did he fina
himself that he had to hurry back to
his hotel and change. Travellers who
return from the West Indies with
garb of grateful white tattin. or even
with those fearful and wonderful gar
ments which the Kingston tailors
compound to your measure over night,
discover them valueless in this torriG
cline. Custom DEGREES wool. We
are, it is true, permitted to wear
white flannel-if we can afford it
but even this is considered improper
for business. And it is ordered that
under no circumstances must we part
with the iron-clad collar, ideally de-
signed to keep the neck and the reg
ion below ii in a state of discomfort,
while we must crown ourselves with
headgear almost as impregnable TO
elooness as the ugly felt contraptions
we wear in winter.
The man in the tropics endures no
higher temperature than we do in ou.

would consider himself afflicted il
forced to confer plate the thermome-
ter in our uniform. His suit of white
buttons high in the neen, relieving
him of the necessity of wearing the
starehed linen badge of serfdom. His
skull is protected by the helmet
within the crown of which he may. il
he wishes, stow the kindly sponge. His
clothes cost him infinitely less thar
do ours and they make him Infinitely
more comfortable.
When President Roosevelt took Il

hopeful that we might be permitted t

drive, however, had a setback. What
were to become of the coal docks? IL
so happened that the old pockets OF
one large company were in the path o.
a newly opened street. This made ne
cessary new bins, and then came the
trouble. No one wanted them in the
vicinity, but their construction some

compromise was reached between
the company and the residents where
by the company agreed to submit plans
to the dock department of the city and
also to the art commission of New
York for approval. This is one OF the
few instances where a coal bin has
been built under the serutinizing eye
of an art commission.
Indignation meetings and protests
from the dweliers along Riverside

the chief justice took to be a positive
reference to the second class of mail
because of the great advantages news
papers were granted under the second
class over other classes of mail in or
der to promote the Dissemination oil

gress did not intend TO exclude papers

the second class.
The second paragraph, it was explain
ed. was but a part of the first as shown
by the use of the word such an adul-
tional penalty being prescribed TOT aa-

tive history of the provision, the chiei
Justice declared upheld the ihterpfeta-
ton of the words given by the couf.
After interpreting the provision as I'M
posing conditions upon the use OIL tie
second class mail, the chief justice pro
ceeded to discuss why Congress had the
right to impose such conditions.
A study of postal laws from colonial
DAYS to the present, he said, showed
persistent adhesion to policy or as
crimination in favor of newspapers IN
the mails. lie quoted Mr.. Bullitt as stat
ing that letter mail was subjected TO a
charge so times higher than newspapers
and that letter mail produced an annuaI
profit of seventy millions, while the news
paper class entailed $7,O0O00O annual
loss upon the government. AS further
discrimination, he said, individuals must
pay a higher rate for mailing newspa-3
pers than the publishers or news agents.
In return for this discrimination, the
chief Justice declared Congress had the
right to fix the standard to be met by
those, who wished to enjoy the privileges.
As far back as 1887. rules were promul-
gated for those who desired to enjoy
the privilege of the cheap rates.
