AN OUTLAY lin STAMPS.

The postmaster at Philadelphia is
taking no chances of running short OF
postage stamps for Christmas business
He has just ordered 9O,23O,OO stamps
valued at $1,696,0OO, the largest single
order ever made by a. postmaster. In
July, 1912, the Chicago postmaster
sent in a requisition for 71,80O,O0O
stamps, valued at $1,538,OOO, estab-
fishing a record now broken by Phil-
adelphia.
The stamps being sent to Phila-
delphia include some of the new is
sue Of 7, IL, 20 and 80 cent denomi-
nations designed by Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson, to meet the needs OF
the parcel post business. With these
stamps and the smaller denomi-
nations already in use, it is said
nearly every amount of postage from
l cent to 60 may be placed on a pack
age by using not more than two
stamps.

CURRENCY REFORM.

hat makes currency reform move
SO slowly is the fact that many differ
ent plans have been proposed, and it
is hard to set majority to agree up
on any one Of them. Yet all admit
that whatever is done should be done
quickly. Business il suffering from
the uncertainty.
All the plans have this in common I:
They aim to establish either one great
central bank or a number of regional
banks" one for each section OF the
country. tn these regional banks
part ct the deposits Of the local banks
would be kept.
The general purpose j. toEmake il
easy for money to flow from places
where it il too plentiful to places
where it is too scarce. In past per
iods of hard times money has piled
up uselessly In banks OF the east
while other sections suffered for want
of it. The problem which Congress
faces is, how to make the money more
fluid" % that 1t will flow where 1T II

CRITICISM OF THE PUBLIC OFF,
GALS.

The freedom OF the press, which
is recognized in the Federal Con-
stitution l. one OF the safeguards OF
American liberty. That public Off
Gals perform the functions of their
offices subject to the limelight OF
publicity, il an incentive to the per-
Torrance Of public duty faithfully.
The same principles Of justice and
fairness which pertain to the criti-
cism of private individuals, just as
certainly pertain to the criticism OF
public officials. Because man holds
"a public Office IL no reason why he
should not have his private charac-
ter attacked without just cause, or
his motives denounced as necessarily
bad. NM
II It becomes the duty OF a news
paper to criticise a public Official It
should be done with fair presenta-
ton of all the parts involved.
The power or the press il great,
but untruthfulness is as dishonor-
able, weapon in the hands u
newspaper, as it is in the hands Of an
individual.
One Of the great journalists OF
this country said that it was more
important to be fair and accurate in
dealing with an opponent than with a
friend.
The enthusiasm of the critic is
often accompanied by rashness and
self-glory. The admonition of the
Scriptures, that he who humbleth
himself shall be exalted, and he who
exalteth himself shall be humbled,"
is as potent now as when it was ut
tered by the Sacred Teacher.
Therefore, we Of the press should
at least be willing to concede that
those who differ with ones views
may be animated with as good mo-
tives as we are ourselves. Frequent
ly a good cause is injured by the rack
OF proper discretion on the part of
it's advocates.-Towson Journal.
