WILL THERE BE PUNISHMENT?

Has it got to be said that in the United States
there law for the punishment of the petty pfereI
and no law for those whose plumber or criminal neg
leet of trust involves millions?
That question is exceedingly pertinent at the pres
ent time in view of the extraordinary findings OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission in the case of the
New Haven management. 1t is up to the Federal
government to make answer.
Since the trust prosecutions began under the Tart
administration and up to the present time in no case
has there been punishment of guilty individuals and
many notorious and fragrant acts have passed un-
noticed by the department of justice at Washington
Law is not justice unless 1t is even-handed. Ihere
cannot be any class distinction in the law If govern
ment is to endure 1t is the of that injustice
that makes popular discomfort and breeds anarchy.
The case of the New Haven has now assumed enor-
nous popular Importance, for the people know that
the monstrous accusations in the Interstate Com
nerce report are not the frothy mouthngs of dem
agogues but the sober utterances of the most con-
servatve and best trusted official board of the national
government after careful and thorough investiga-
ton.

ExrRRA1NArINe THE ArLANno MOSQUITO

The results of the work of the Atlantic County
MOSQUITO Commission are admiringy testified to by
the Atlantic City Press. which declares that fewer
mosquitoes have been noticed this summer than dur
ING anv season in the recent history of Atlantic City
or county, reports having been received from every
town and hamlet in the county.
The coast of Atlantic and Cape May counties has
been the breeding place of vast swarms Of mosqui-
toes Human life has been well-nigh uncomfortable
When systematic determination was first proposed in
the Legislature the South Jersey members laughed
at the idea of aboishng the great nuisance In their
sections It seemed impossible And yet witness the
results already accomplished in Atlantic County
1t is plainly practicable to rid the entire State OF
the MOSQUITO pest Essex and Hudson counties are
showing what can be done, and they only need the CO.
operation of neighbor counties to completely rid
North Jersey of the pest The intelligent enterprise
of Atlantic City is comforting an immense blessing
upon Atlantic county and all the coast counties can
be similarly benefited If the resorts unite to
take the same action.

NATIONS TIMBER SUPPLY IN DANGER

Three corporations own more than IL per cent of
the privately owned standing timber in the whole
United States And these corporations cooperate in
increasing their holdings OF the timber land owned

When a man purchases a penny
postage stamp he is quite apt to over
look the cost of producing that stamp
and think that the whole of his in
vestment will go toward paying the
expense of sending his missive to its
destination. To be sure, the cost OF
production is almost negligible when
calculated for a single stamp. but
when he learns that about 40,000,00O
stamps must be printed daily to sup
ply the demands of our letter writing
population, he realizes that the an
nual bill for printing postage stamps
amounts to a very considerable sum.
The manufacturing cost has been
reduced materially of late by the in
vention of Benjamin r. Stick
ney, mechanical expert and designer
of the bureau, working under the
direction of Joseph B. Ralph, d.
rector of the bureau of engraving and
printing. AS postage stamps are
printed from engraved plates the or
binary high-speed printing processes
are not applicable to them. Ordinari-
ly, it is necessary to moisten the pa
per so that it may readily be pressed
into the engraved lines of the plates
TO pick out the ink that fills them.
The common press cannot exert suf-
ficient pressure upon the paper to
make good prints If the paper is dry.
And so up to recent date all the
paper had to be moistened by hand,
which was a slow and costly process.
Then, about four years ago, Mr..
Stickney invented machine for wet
ting paper, and he followed this up
two years ago with stamp printing
machine that would print on a roll
of dry paper. Not only did this elimi-
nate the bothersome operation of
wetting the paper. but 1t reduced the
clerical work of keeping track of the
separate sheets on which the stamps
were printed-for now they are
printed on continuous rolls at the rate
Of 1000 postage stamps per minute.
This high-speed machine has since
been further improved Paper is
fed from a drum 1t passes up
over rollers, and then down be-
tween the feed roller and the printing
cylinder. Here an enormous pressure

"of all sad words that tongue can tell the saddest
are these 1t didn't jell" Whittiers famous couplet
might thus be paraphrased to the feelings OF
the housewife when she finds that her careful con-
eoction juice and sugar, pound for pound
remains fluid instead of acquiring the ideal condi-
ton of tremulous soidity The mortified dame dumps
the stuff into the garbage and starts fresh
batch
The food faker who makes jelly for the multi
tude, never has failure of this kind to worry him.
His product always to 'je for he uses gea-
tine The Federal pure food board now decides that
product so thickened must not be called fruit jelly
That label may be used only on goods that set hard
because of the fruit juice and sugar.
OF course there is no harm in gelatine; many
wholesome and delicious household dishes are made
with that material and fruit extracts. The decision
belongs to the class that has to do with honesty,
not health. The consumer is entitled to know just
what he is getting for his money.

The reawakening came as If it we're

one became suddenly aware that the
world had shrunk into a small room
and that this new little world was
allied with ones own petty personality
and with naught else. All the inter-
ests of yesterday, all the thoughts of
the waking hours, of public affairs,
of private joys and personal cares
all alike seemed to have vanished.
But their departure brought no sor-
row. The vacant spaces, the empty
air which they left behind. brought
only a drowsy sense of rest and quiet.
There was no longing to fill the void
so suddenly created. Even the mere
thought of attempting 1t was SO
wearying, so painful, indeed, that 1t

Any properly built biplane which
has a light, powerful engine is stable
when in the air. providing it is in
diligently handled, says Lincoln
Beachey in an article in Popular Me-
chanics.
The chief reason 1 have been able
to accomplish feats which other air.
men never have attempted is the fact
that l have had a good machine and
have known how to fly 1t.
Give me a clearance of 500 feet
| from the ground, a place to land, and
then let things happen If the aero
plane upsets or slides, or the engine
| dies, and the airman is not asleep, II
may be righted with comparative
ease.
The master of good biplane should
| feel as completely at home in the air
! as any bird that ever flew. In my
recent flights it has been demon
strated that a man-made machine is
capable of things which no bird ever
attempted. How many persons ever
saw a bird try to loop the loop, do
| a backward spiral or revolve like a
| top and sail earthward, tail down?
1t is true that my latest craft was
built for the specific purposes to
which it is being put. But for gen.
! eral flying a good biplane of the same
fundamental type should be equal in
stability. 1t Is only touching the ex-
IRENE to assert that with an engine
of sufficient power an airman could
| fly a piano box. By that | wish to
impress the statement that the air
man of today has absolutely every
thing he needs with which to fight

the aeroplane already occupies the
place OF a necessity, commercial and
otherwise, for the present and future
day man. 1t Is only a toss ahead to
the time when the aerial express will
be no more a novelty than overland
| limited trains are now.
My new machine which has ac-
complished hitherto unheard-of
things, such as flying at an angle
of almost 80 degrees, is the enbodl-
/ ment of many of my own ideas and
the adaptation of the best principles

Lucky is the yachting man who
gets card for a week -end on Sir
Thomas Lipton's steam yacht Erin,
at Southampton, in these weeks OF
the trying out of the fourth Sham
rock, that with good fortune will
race for the America Cup off Sandy
Hook in September
Although Sir Thomas entertains as
many as 200 persons a day on his
steam yacht at Sandy Hook, his
guests in English waters are usual
ly confined to a few old friends, and
an occasional visitor from other
| parts.
Sir Thomas, smiling and CHEEKY
although noticeably grayer than
when IL years ago he raced for the
cup-was at the head of the STAR
board gangway on Erin, in a breezy
Saturday evening In early June,
when his launch came alongside,
bringing a party of half dozen
guests, who had come down from
London for the weekend with him.
Glad to see you; glad to see you,
he said to each, calling him by name,
, and giving him a hearty handshake.
you will find your room ready.
Steward, put Mr.. So-and-So In No.
6, and Mr.. So-and- So in No. s."
Thus around the circle on the
quarter deck.
You're just in time for tea, gentle
men. We dine at $3.50; no dress
lor boat"
The greeting over, Sir Thomas
said, with gravity. but a twinkle
withal, Before we go into tea l
want you to see the future Lady Lip
ton"
There was a pricking of ears on the
part of newcomers. Had the In
veterate bachelor, one of the best
catches in Europe, succumbed at last
to the wiles of womankind?
Sir Thomas led the way up gang
way to a charterhouse on the upper
deck, and entering it, pointed to a
drawing of an up-to-the-minute
young person in the kind of clothes
that makes one turn and look over
his shoulder when walking up Picca-
dilly.
That's Lady Upton" he said,
don't you see 1t says so on the
drawing?"
grin went round. Some artist
friend had been having a little joke
with Sir Thomas, and the bachelor
baronet was passing it around.
Any one who spends even an hour
with Sir Thomas Upton cannot but
be impressed by his copious flow of
jokes, stories and banter. He sur
rounds himself with things that sug
gest stories.
AT dinner that EVENING" dinner
faultlessly served in a cozy, red-cur-
tanned deck saloon-attention was
turned to a photograph on the panel
ed wall-the picture of a hard-featur-
ed, bare headed, bare-footed white
man in the garb of Buddhist priest.
At the top of the photograph was
an inscription in Burmese, under it a
name in Roman characters, but as
Eastern as the inscription.
That's my friend Kelley" said Sir
Thomas. Some of you have never
heard of Kelley, perhaps. My meeting
with him was one of the strangest
adventures you can imagine.
I'VE were at Mandalay at the time
of a great religious festival, the col
onel here and myself" he indicated
with gesture to his friend, travelling
companion and yachting adviser, Col
onel Duncan F. d. Neill.
THE place was crowded with thou
sands of natives. We walked about
observing the crowds, and the strange
figures on every side. At last I no
ticed a priest looking at me very
sharply. 1 thought him a villainous

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
A Remarkable Instance OF Official Integrity

The late William A. Richardson,
who was secretary of the treasury at
Washington In the last half of the
first administration of President
Grant, was one of those men who,
while they gain and maintain strong
friendships, are likely not to be taken
entirely seriously. There is often a
hint of some unconventional habit of
thought or manner or expression
which is sure to cause a smile, al
though it is always kindly.
Judge Richardson was probably
more conspicuous as chief justice of
the Court of Claims at Washington
than as secretary of the treasury.
That may have been due to the fact
that he was much longer upon the
bench as justice of this court than
at the head of the table in the office
of the secretary of the treasury.
At one time or another warm per-
sonal friends of Judge Richardson
have narrated to me little anecdotes
associated with him which reveal a
kindly humorous side of his char
acter. One of these anecdotes was
told me by the late George d. Robin
son, who was for many years the
representative in Congress of the
western Massachusetts, district and
who gained national distinction by
the campaign he made as Republican
candidate for governor of Massa-
chusetts against General Benjamin
F. Butler, who was the Democratic
candidate and was seeking re-elec-
tion.
Judge Richardson has a singularly
scrupulous and, as thought, a rather
overestimated sense of personal
honor or of personal propriety in all
matters relating to money" Mr..
Robinson said.
81 remember that I called upon him
one day very near the close of his
service as secretary of the treasury.
He told me that in his way was the
temptation to utilize to personal -ad-
vantage some of the opportunities

Growth of London's Shipping

According to return of the Port
of London Authority, the shipping
trade of the Thames for the year
ended March 81. 1914, showed a large
increase over that of the preceding
year. Comparative statistics for the
two years are as follows:
Vessels paying river dues-1912-13,
Is, 50S,672 tons; in 1914, 30,S16, 3S1
tons; an increase of 1907. 700 tons.
Vessels using the docks-1912-13, IT,
312, 4ss tons; in 1914, 1857 $50 tons;
an increase of 1.205, 102 tons.
The large increase is partially ac-
counted for by the absence in 1894
of the serious labor troubles which
characterized the. preceding year,
though a very substantial advance
was made over the record of 1911-12
which may be regarded as a fairly
normal period.
