BRENNAN's EXPENSE

The good women who have been
forcing the prices of butter and eggs
downward this winter by going into
the business themselves for a short
time have little on Ignatius Brennan
or wheeling when it comes to prov
ing that we often pay too much for
things. Brennan did not go into the
cry public from greedy trusts; his
achievement was in an altogether diff
1erent field. Politics was his line,
and despite the fact that there were
not enough Democrats in West Vir-
glnla to elect him state treasurer, he
succeeded In performing real pub
nc service. He adduced some ire
1utabie evidence that the cost of run
ming for office is for some reason UNI
necessarily high, in most places, and
that the expenditure Of $4,000 or
100000 to become local public
servant should be regarded with sus-
plclon, except in unusual circum-
stances. Mr.. Brennan spent money
for nearly everything a self-respecting
practical politician could be expected
to spend it for, and yet he managed
to get through the campaign without
bankrupting himself and his friends.

A YEAR OF THE PARCEL POST.

Postmaster General Burleson's announcement OF an
weight the packages which may

second reduction in rates. although the first applied
only to the first two zones. Both go to show that

That Mr.. Burleson is considering carefully all the
elements in the cost of the parcel is shown
ntimaton that he will recommend to addition
al compensation for the railroads. which have been
carrying the parcel post business at the
mined before it inaugurated The railroads have
had good deal to say about the saving the people
at their expense. Mr. Burleson evidently believes it
possible to compensate the railroads fairly and still
reduce the rates of postage.
One other thing is notable, the inclusion of books
in the matter which be sent by parcel post
merly the principle countrys interest in edu-
cation, had established rate for books of half the
rate merchandise. But when the
parcel post went into effect, the old rate books
maintained, that have actually had pay more
for sending books than for the other This
is unfortunate, for the arguments sending books
cheaply good they were, and there is
certainly reason why books should be discrimin-

SALOON LICENSES AND TAXES.

Limiting number saloons is question:
increasing the license fee is quite another but to

saloons economically unsound politically unwse and
morally improper.
We doubt very much whether higher license fees
will in any way make the saloon business invt-

trary would be true; that the kind of to whom the
News Tribune objects would find their way into the
business, no matter what prices they obliged to
pay to get there.
There is question but what the present constant
hammerng at the saloon business is fast forcing the
good out of it, through pride if nothing else.
In corrupt city governments the basest elements

pursuits. This has always been true, and it probably
always will be- The higher penalty place upon

and this applies with equal force to the saloon business
as it has to gambling, and every form of vice.
We would like have point out to us

the socaed bad saloon. Does the fact that saloon

place is good saloon? Taken for granted of

regulations of the state and city.
And the other hand is a saloon keeper bad

business today by law, and with police court
