To THE FpiToR or TIE SUN--Sir. Your

more or less stilted or affected.

COLOSSAL and unprecedented, had decided
the poets that they must forge their
loudest thunder or have recourse to their
most high sounding words or phrases.

The Government match has long had
an evil celebrity in France among for
eigners and French people who had been
abroad and had opportunities Of using
real matches that would light without
breaking in a larger proportion than one
out OF three. The manufacture and
sale of matches In France constitute a
State monopoly, and the result is the
classic illustration Of the incapacity Of
Government for conducting any indus
try with success. The Government
matches are about eight times "a dear
as any others in the world and about
twenty times as had. The French peo-
pie at large have had in the past no
way of discovering this, az the monopoly
has prevented all comparison. The war,
however, has brought new light-in
a double sense The huge shipments
Of matches To the soldiers and the Grip
pling of the Government factories have
compelled the importation OF foreign
matches. The Government still con-
trolls the trade and sells the imported
wares at eight times the price charged
in London. But, at least, IL has not
been able To conceal from the public
the fact that it is possible to make good
matches when private capital and in
dustry are embarked In the task II ~
only the Government monopoly that IL

urged the clergy to-day to put into OPP

The story of how business-lilc methods
have revolutionized the finances of many
churches in the conference was told as
an inspiration for an extension of the
system, which cmbodies education of
church-Eoers, and house to house canvass
and a uniform method of collection

Mr. Miles took the matter up with the
officials of the Boston e Maine system,
who acknowledged that the discon-
