new STAMP BOOK ISSUED
BY POSTMASTER GENERAL
Contains 1wenty-four Each Of One
Cent and Two Cent Stamps.

Postmaster General Burleson is the
author Of what is expected to prove
one of the 'six best sellers" among the
books Of the coming season. An
nOuncement is made that it is off the
press and soon can be had at thou
sands of postof1ices and subpostoffices
throughout the country. The book, it's
attractive title being '24:1c-2c," is
embellished with beautiful engravings
and will sell for the nominal sum of
70 cents.
The demand for such a book was
recognized by those who approved Of
that other sterling little volume issued
by the government and which contain
ed twelve two-cent stamps, the price Of
which was 25 cents. The new volume
is to contain twenty-four two-cent
and an equal number Of one cent
stamps.
, '"The leaves Of this new educational
work." said a postoffice official, twill
go far to fill long felt want. In fact,
properly used, they will go as far as
the Philippines, Hawaii or Porto Rico.
It is seldom an announcement is made
Of a new volume that is destined to
exert so widespread an influence
The department has issued instruc-
lions to postmasters throughout the
country concerning the issue Of the

FARM FOR HONOR C0NVICTS.
Washington State Project to Buy a
Thousand Acres-Benefits Expected.

Washington State Project to Buy a
Thousand Acres-Benefits Expected.
Purchase Of a large farm for "honor
convicts," the first in the United
States, is under consideration by the
prison board of Washington state. The
board argues that the project would be
both economical for the state and bene-
fetal for the prisoners.
The penitentiary should not have to
expend more for common supplies than
does the successful farmer, it is urged
Not only is it hoped ultimately to raise
the beef, pork and bacon needed, but
it is planned to have a thoroughly
equipped dairy, and it is even suggest
ed that the wool from the sheep may
be used in making clothing for the
prisoners.
It is suggested that 1000 acres would
be required and that the state might
exchange some of it's present holdings
for the desired acreage, convenient to
the penitentiary.
1t is pointed out that several hun
dred men could be put to work, which
in itself would be Of great benefit to
them physically and morally; more
over, small wage could, if found de-
sirable, be paid them so that when
they are finally liberated they would
have start in a new life
At present there are about $50 pris-
oners working about the penitentiary
farm, virtually on their honor Two
lnarmed guards work with them as
counsel and custodians.

This is the first Christmas season the

bic. This he thinks will be possible If
patrons realize the advantage of the
early mailing Of parcels.
Many inquiries are being received BY
the postal authorities in Washington
from firms in Canada concerning the
operation Of the parcel post in the
United States, which indicate agitation
for the establishment Of parcel post

But at last the first band of the

DIR. Woodrow Wilson, historian,
student and Governor, has said:
Nothing was settled in the cleo
ton of 1908 but the name of the
next President"
| say the same thing is true of the
election of 1922 Mr.. Wilson stands
for no great idea. He has not been
swept Into power by an aroused peo-
pie. The great capitalist party broke
into Two, and the other capitalist
party, the Democratic, walked
through the broken ranks of the
enemy.
Mr.. Wilson is not Tilden who
has brought his party back to dec
laration of honest though outworn
principles.
He is not even a Bryan!
For Mr. Bryan's ideas were more
advanced in relation to the year 1895
than are Mr.. Wilson's ideas in rela-
ton to the year 1922
Our new President is not the leader
or the expression of revolt, ethical
or economic.
In spite of genuine differences Of
tenpera nlent and belief between Taft
and Mr.. Wilson, the President of the
United States has merely changed
his name.
Capitalism is still king
The great industrial empire, which
is the reality behind our democratic
institution. is powerful as ever, ana
nothing that Mr.. Wilson can do, or
will do. need give uneasiness to the
sovereigns of industry or hope to the
subjects,
I should be more deeply stirred by
this great ceremony if l could feel
that it ushered in new day

henceforth every working man and
woman in the country would have a
sufficient wage-that every child
would be free from the necessity of
labor-that all factories would be
sanitary and safe-that every worker
would have a chance to perform his
work with some degree of comfort
and happiness.
Mr.. Wilson honestly believes that
he can make his administration one
of reform and uplift. The whole ma
ton can only hope for his sake ana
for the sake of all that his earnest
expectations may be fulfilled,

Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1913-03-06


does he realize the facts?
Does he understand that it is not
government which controls industry;
but industry which controls, shapes
and determines government?
Mr.. Wilson finds something hard,
cold. unfeeling in the world of bust
ness and labor. and he has set HIM
self the task of humanizing every
process without impairing the
goods"
But the facts are hard. cold and
unfeeling!
The world is divided into owners
and wage-e arners.
The owners are cntralizing, meth
odizing the business in the interest of
efficiency and for the increase of
profits
That is the meaning of the trusts
Nobody invented the trust 1t grew
from the necessities of business. 1t
is no more moral or immoral than a
steam engine
The old method of doing business
cannot be restored.
If the work of restoration to which
Mr. Wilson looks forward means re-
vision to the old competitive method
of industry he is foredoomed to
failure!
The world does not evolve or re-
volve backward. The next step is in
dustry-and that means in govern
ment and politics-is a greater, more
peacetul trust than has ever been.
That is the peoples trust
That is coming to birth
The forces that shape it are indif-
ferent to regulation and dissolution.
1t means the ownership and control
of the nations industries and re-
sources, not by group of people, but
by all the people
The transformation is being brought
about, not by the government in
Washington, but by the workers of
the world
1t is this contest which Mr.. Wilson,
scholar, historian, humanitarian. finds
hard, cold, unfeelng.
The place to study it is not the cap
ital, but in Passaic and in Paterson,
right in Mr.. Wilson'S home State. =
Has he been to that school?
! doubt it,
There the documents are being writ
ten, there the evidence is accumulat-
ing which future professors of history
at Princeton University must scruti-
nize and comprehend.
Mr.. Wilson, then, represents the
passing of an era. not the Inaugural
ton of a new age. Conditions pro-
claim the coming of the new age, and
conditions are stronger than the
President, stronger than the constitu-
ton.
Mr.. Wilson is an old-fashioned Dem
ocrat. and an admirable specimen of
his class.
For him as an individual have the
utmost respect.
But the future belongs to a
much greater class-the new-fash-
toned Democrat!
When such Democrat is elected
President of the United States, 1 shall
feel, not only the thrills of excitement
which fill me today, but a deep, hope
full joy.
The woman suffrage pageant Mon
day was in some ways more significant
than the Inauguration Tuesday.
1t symbolized the coming of the
new, not the passing of the old.
1t is a determined, ceaseless march
in the work-a-day world. Nothing
can stop it.
The idle, the thoughtless. the reac-
tionary may get in the way and our
ranks may be apparently disordered
But the women's army is moving on
in every nation.

dent shall ride down these broad
avenues elected by the people of
