one-Cent Postage Foolishness
Hartford Courant

From the Hartford Courant.
That tired old mlshchief maker, the
scheme for cent letter postage. is tray
cling around the newspapers again.
Think twice before advocating the plan.
To begin with, who is complaining about
having to pay cents for sealed letter? ?
Anybody who chooses can send letter
for l cent now, using postal card, which
affords him not only postage, but also
paper and envelope, except that the en-
velope isn't there. But he can just write
his letter, stick 1t in the box, and along
1t goes as soon and as surely as the Q
cents epistle. A letter that is worth seal
ing and making secret Is worth 2 cents
for postage. That's enough to shut down
this cheap postage agitation. But there
is another reason. We have whole army
of postal employees. We doubt IL one of
them can be found who would object to
an increase of his pay. Some of them are
notoriousy underpaid, like the rural de-
livery men. If the postal service has so
much surplus revenue that some way
must be found to reduce profits, why not
add something to the pay rolls? Redu.'-
ing letter postage would really give help
in some quarters, but those are the quar-
ters of the wealthy-the great corpora
tions with wide correspondence-whu
neither need the reduction nor ask for II.

steps out from her self-sought inconspic-
uousness and proves that she is worthy
OF her high place in the world by the
gracious dignity with which she dis
charges all the duties incumbent upon
her rank. Her mother, Princess Zorka

and her two brothers were still small
children, and TO the family group was

Princess Helen, while her brothers
were receiving the training that was to

HAS NOT THE POWER.
State Cannot Abolish Fraternities in
State Schools.

The state educa tional administration
board has no power or authority to
abolish the fraternities at the state
schools, according to a letter written
by Attorney General John s. Dawson
to Ed. T. Hackney, president of the
new educational board. Dawson's let
ter was submitted to Hackney in reply
to an inquiry from the board as to its
power in regulating the college frater-
mites.
According to Dawson's opinion,
neither the board nor even the state
legislature can abolish the fraternities
in the state schools. The matter can
be successfully handled in private ed
ucational intitutions by the board of
trustees in an order they might issue.
says Dawson. Thus fraternities could
be abolished in schools like Washburn
college, but cannot be suppressed in
Kansas university OF the Agricultural
college by an order of the educational
board of the state.
Hackney denied that the board con-
templated the suppression of the fra
ternities at any of the state schools
and stated that the opinion was sought
merely that the board might fully I'M
derstand its power in regulating the

KEEP UP The FIGHT.
Women Are After Another Billboard
in Residence Section.

/ Another step in the fight against
billboards in the residence portion of
the city has been taken in a petition
to the mayor and city commissioners
asking for the removal of a board at
the corner of West Tenth avenue and
Polk street. The petition is signed by
more than 100 residents of the section.
The signers have the assurance that
Mayor Cofran, who says he does not
believe in billboardS in residence sec
lions, will do everything he can to Sc
cure the removal of the board.
Some time ago petition was brought
to the commission by Mrs. Lila Day
Monroe of the womens advisory board,
asking that the construction of a board
at Tenth and Tyler be stopped. The
city commission took action by directing
the city attorney to bring inJunc-
ton against the persons erecting the
board. A temporary Injunction, re-
straining further action toward the
completion of the work until the court
can hear the case, has been issued and
is in effect.
Billboards in the residence districts
are unsanitary, a menace in case of
fire, menace to the safety of young
girls and women by hiding providers,
and are unsightly, in the opinion of
Mayor Cofran. In case the present
temporary injunction on the board at
Tenth and Tyler is made permanent it
is believed to mean a wholesale fight
on billboards all over the residence
portions of the city. -'i5

Washington, D. c., Aug. 29.-Con-
gresham Dudley Doolittle is aroused
over the false reports in the press
about the weather and crop conditions
in the Sunflower state. In a speech on
the floor of the house yesterday he
said:
Il protest in the name of my state

truth about Kansas is her best praise.
Take the state as it is, the good with

unmatched and matchless, the greatest
agricultural domain under the stars.
Only a grand people with courage and
fortitude could accomplish so much in
so short a time, or in the life of the
commonwealth. And old Mother Earth
has been lavish in bestowing on Kan
sas the very cream of her soil.
There is nothing the matter with
Kansas. a shortage in one or two
crops in a single year cannot daunt the
courage of her people. 1 deem it high
honor to represent her greatest agri-
cultural district, a section that has
contributed her full share and quota of
breadstuffs and meat that have fed the

to the rebels.
We did not want to slaughter those
poor federaIs," said Alcalde. who
claims to have been the man who al
ways accompanied Mason, the French
aviator. $50 We wrote messages and
enclosed them in bomb-shaped recepta-

that a warm welcome awaited them in
our ranks. We got a large number of
recruits in that way"
