requires a newspaper that has pub

as the Star is concerned, the law isn't

fend himself if he hasn't a cent in the

An undue amount of notice has been

six years ago, and now in the posses

of the second century, A. D., several
hundred gospels" and "epistIes'' were
in existence in Southern Europe, West

lection than has occurred since, and it
isn't likely that their judgment will
ever be materially interfered with.

A New Sing Sing at Last.

A bill making an appropriation of
$4,000 for a new site for Sing Sing
prison is before the New York Legis-
lature, at the request OF the State COM
mission OF new prisons. A failure to
speedily pass it would be tantamount
TO a crime. Conditions at Sing Sing
are such as to be a disgrace to the
people of the whole country. But the
State should not be content with mere
ly making provision for the removal
OF the disgrace. Arrangements should
be made which will insure the erection
of new prison at the earliest possible
moment, for every day the horrible
conditions at Sing Sing continue is an
addition to the States guilt.
The prison to be erected should not
only be free from the shameful faults
of the old, but should embody all that
the best thought of prison experts has
found desirable in a penal institution.
1t must be place of punishment, but
it must be place where every posi-
bic chance is given for the humanizing
of the inmates, for their improvement
instead of their degradation, for the
development of any good that there
may be in them and not for their
hopeless confirmation in evil. The
New York Evening Post points out
that the Great Meadow Prison now in
use, though not yet completed, is an
example of what can be done in this
direction, and says that it is the hope
of those who devote their lives to the
subject of prison management that the
new Sing Sing may be an improve
ment even upon that at Great Meadow.

RICHM ONE, VA.
ny GEORGE FITCH,
Author of "At Good Old Siwash."

Richmond is one of the most popular
cities in the world.
This can be easily proved by the fact
that half of a million men spent four
years trying to get into it
Richmond began life as the capital Of
Virginia. and in 1861 was promoted to be
the capital of the Confederacy. This was
fine advertising for Richmond. Much Of
the wear and tear of the arguments be-
tween the Union and Confederate cannon
is still visible.
When Richmond emerged from the war
1t was the best-known city in the South.
For many years it was content with this
fame. Lately, however. Richmond has
adopted a Chamber of Commerce, an
nexation, and other modern ideas. As
result it has grown to be a city Of
100. 900 people, and only sleeps at night
Richmond was first thought Of in 1915
and was laid out a hundred years later.
1t has many fine new buildings, but the
Richmond citizen does not tow the gasp
ing stranger down Main Street to look at
the near-skyscrapers- He takes him to
see the 125-year old Capitol building and
the I75-year old St. Johns Church, where
Patrick Henry asked for death and had
to be contented with liberty instead. and
the cemetery where three Presidents are
buried.

tory that IL it had its deserts 1t would

The New Parcel Post Extension.

The Washington Herald has been
and still is so warm an advocate OF
the parcel post system, which Con-
gress was so long in establishing, that
the extensions ordered in the carrying
capacity of the new venture, after a
trial OF only six months, are doubly
welcome, as the rates in the first and
second zones also are to be reduced
materially. The system certainly has
worked we'll.
So quickly has the public taken to
the new facilities offered it that the
Postmaster General feels justified in
predicting that within fifteen or twenty
years the postoffice will be carrying
packages weighing up to 100 pounds,
and doing practically all the parcel
business of the country. The Herald
was long an advocate of the extension
and modernization of the parcel post
and is delighted that its predictions as
to the future of the service have been
so quickly and fully verified.

no less than thirty-one commissions, to
cost at least 100000.
In lesser degree thirty-nine other
Legislatures this year have established
commissions, until the whole number
runs far toward a thousand. Add to
these the commissions appointed in the
cities, and then on top of all put the
recent commissions of Congress and its
investigating committees.
In some instances good work is done
by commissions, but it is mistake to
suppose that because members of COM
missions are not paid they cost moth
ing. With their expenses and various
details of their work they cost more
than the employment of competent per-
sons at high salaries. Some of the
commissions of Congress cost a half
million dollars each. 1t is time to direct
attention to the abuse of this fad. II
began as an occasional venture, but
now it seems to be part of the legis-
lative program to create as many COM
missions as possible.

Don't Beittle Our Navy.

The proposal now before Congress
to abolish the rank of rear admiral and
retire no one in the service at higher
grade than captain, the title of admiral
being given to men while filling special
assignments, can come only from men
DESTROYS of belittling the service. Its
justification on the ground of economy
is farcical.
While Congress is voting the pork
barrel full OF extravagant public build
ings to please home pride and
strengthen the fences of Congressman,
an attempt to curtail by reducing the
honors and rewards earned by men
in the navy and army would be un-
patriotic. These men are rewarded
but scantily for the devoted service
they give the country.
Not only should the rank of rear
admiral be retained. but that of vice
admiral and admiral be restored in
order that our flag in foreign waters
may be represented in joint operations
by as high a dignity as that of any
other equal power.

Can He Come Back?

What has become OF the happy
voiced Young Mr.. Allen. whose am
bition to enter titled diplomacy was
quickened into sprightly hopefulness
by the heartening words OF new-found
friends, nourished into confidence by
the invigorating atmosphere of a
Senatorial junket, and then lulled into
isnoble coma by the harsh tale-bear-
ing OF ruthless journalism?
Where is he? Washington liked
him. and pitied, yea, sympathized with
him in his distress. We would have
word OF him. A forward-going Young
American whose inexperience OF gov
ornamental circles led him to indis-
cretion but cast not a shadow upon
his honor, this Young Mr.. Allen ought
TO be given the opportunity 10 tell the
tale OF his campaign" for an embassy.
He should have a chance TO narrate
this memorable episode OF his life
more in detail than he could in
newspaper.
Since he told in newspaper how
he and the members of the Senate
Military Affairs Committee ooursed
the majestic Hudson in his friend
Astor's steam yacht, the happy-voiced
Mr.. Allen has been mute. Let him
not be constrained longer to silence.

court, at least let him be a witness
before a homegrown lobby probe

An Economic Necessity.

The removal of the duty on meats
has become an economic necessity. The
supply here is getting so scant and SO
high priced that contributions from
the surplus of other countries should
be welcomed. Our population is grow
ing at the rate of about 20 per cent
a decade, but our stock of food ami
mails is declining. The Department OF
Agriculture estimates that in the last
six years the number of beef cattle
in the United States has fallen from
5I,566ooo to 100000. Protective
duties and steady increase in values
have not stopped the decline, because
the conditions under which cattle were
raised cheaply and freely on Western
ranges have passed away.
The United States will have to make
the most OF the resources of countries
like Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and
Australia. where the country is still
open. Anything that the government
can do to turn those resources our
way will be appreciated. 1t is, there
fore. exceptionally pleasing to note
that the Department of Agriculture has
sent agents to Argentina and Australia
to report upon the facilities there for
furnishing this country with the much
needed fresh meat, thus showing its
appreciation OF new opportunity for
lis usefulness.

One Commission that Was Needed.

New Jersey is one of the small
States in area, and it is not in the first
rank in population, but in the expense
OF It's government it stands close to
the head of the list. The economy
and efficiency commission, which has
been at work there, reports that New
Jersey has about so per cent more of
fcers and employees than other States
of comparable size, such as Massa-
clusetts, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, and
Tennessee, and it pays them from the
Governor down larger salaries. The
greater number of officers and en-
ployes is attributed TO the fact that
there the State does many things which
elsewhere are done by municipalities.
The reason given is true as a state
ment of fact, but it does not salts
factorily explain the condition, since
many New Jersey cities are as much
overoficered in proportion as the State
itself The real reason for. the con-
dItlons complained OF IS that during
the years of machine rule the govern
ment was exploited for the purpose of
giving employment TO as many of the
faithful as possible, and at the highest
pay, and since then no government
has had the courage to purge the State
OF these sinecures. An economy and
efficiency commission has been sorely
needed, and now that the State has one
it is to be hoped that its findings will
be acted upon with impartiality. :
Under the impulse of Progressive
administration and the success of wom-
an suffrage California reached the
high water-mark in legislation this year,
with 1,Ioo new laws and an addition
of 100000 to the annual cost of
running the State government, but the
particular feature was the creation of
