ROBERTS WOULD LOWER
LOCAL POSTAGE COST
Representative Says Merchants Could
Be Benefited by Proposed Change
in Rates on Mail.

ANY encouragement that can be ex-
tended business by the government, with
out injury to the individual, should be
done with as little delay as possible"
said Ernest W. Roberts, member of
Congress from Massachusetts, yesterday.
Congress could greatly improve the sit
uation by reducing the rate OF postage
from cents to ! cent on local delivery
letters, and without any drain on the
public exchequer This special reduction
must come at some time, and 1 am of
the opinion that the time could be no
more propitious than the present. 1t
should not cost as much to post a let
ter for delivery in the same town in
which 1t is mailed as for a letter that
is to be delivered at a POINT three or four
thousand miles from the place of mail
ing. The fee charged is small, yet 1t is
not equitable.
Should the rate be reduced on local
delivery letters II would result in small
merchants using the mails more to de-
velop new business. In addition to this.
all kinds of notices, circulars, bills, and
statements. which now go by messenger,
would find their way in the mail Just
as soon as a merchant learned that he
could do twice as much for the same
amount OF money, he would take advan-
tage Of the opportunity to develop an
additional patronage through mail. In
a short time he would see the justice of
spending two or three times as much for
postage as he does under the present
conditions"

William Farnum, who appears in a

of Finding Missing Baltimore
SPORTSMAN Alive.

Baltimore. Nd. Nov. &.-Dwight NAL

associates here deeply mystifed. 1t is
probable that some of his closest friends
know more about the vanished sports

him dead. These have checked up all the
boats that have gone through the canal
from last Saturday until Tuesday. but

body will soon be found In Chesapeake
