POSTAGE ON NEWSPAPERS.

The postoffice department con-
tinues it's crusade to increase the post
age rate on newspapers. Whenever
there is an annual report due from
the head of that department we may
expect to find embodied in it recon-
mend alton for an increase in the
newspaper rate and statement that
the service at present is carrying
newspapers at loss. We have mar
yelled and still wonder at the animus
of this crusade. The newspaper con-
in American life. 1t is the bond for
the dissemination and interchange of
the intelligence that holds the social
fabric together A strong. and virile
press is necessary to the stability and
perpetuity of our political institutions
Just as necessary as is our educa-
tional system, our progressive agricul-
ture, our subsidized manufacturers
The newspaper press has worked its
way UP from small beginnings. and
without extension to it OF the helping
hand Of government, says the Bur
lington Post. It is paying the same
rate OF postage now that ii has been
paying for twenty-five years past,
while transportation cost to the gov.
eminent has been steadily reduced !:
and men who are informed upon the
subject know that the postal service
is making profit on this rate-that
the carrying of newspapers at a cent
a pound is not undertaken at loss.
/! Meanwhile, in nearly every other
great in industry the government is ap.
propriating and laying out large sums
annually in an organized effort to in.
crease efficiency. increase production
and lower the cost. The newspaper
, industry appears to be the only one
of the great business that continues
to hold its open and covert hostility.

tire field army. militia and regulars

An Efficiency Recipe.

Edward Earle Purinton, in the New
York Independent: Be earnest, but be
calm, no matter what happens. / have
seen man learn to treble his days
work by Systematically shutting out
all feeling during office hours. What
fatigues and annoys US is not our
work. but the mental friction. nervous
strain, muscular tension, emotional
wear and tear. which We allow to oc.
company our work. A real man is al
ways machine while on the job
and never machine at any other
time. Recipe for efficiency: Be a
plodder by day and a poet BY night.
DO your planning, your dreaming,
your resolving, when silence and soil
tude open the mind for great thoughts
and purposes; then appear to the
world just an ordinary business man.
WIN nothing unique about you to
rouse the neiahbor's suspicious.

The United Press yesterday hand
led the New York subway fire in a way
that for accuracy and conservatism
created favorable comment. Con
trasted with the exaggerated and IN
accurate reports of other press asso-
Citations the U. P. report stood out as
a commendable exception. The In
cltnation is to become extra VACANT IN
reporting such big accidents as that
which took place in the subway, but
the u. P. managers took the conserv-
alive view and gave an accurate ac-
count which has ELECTED praise for
the organizations not only inethe Of
fees where the United Press report is
received but from the public in gen.
eral.

ment. 1t is an adaptation from the
Germany system where men are es-
pecially trained for the position. The

the name but not the politician.

Coasting is, of course, delightful
winter sport. To youthful dare devil
ism the fact that the element Of dan
ger enters into the sport has a ten
dency to emphasize the delightful fea-
lures. Who would want to swim If
there were no swift running currents
close at hand? WHO would want to
shoulder a gun if there were no
chance that it would, go off some time
when supposedly unloaded? says the
Des Moines Capital 1t is doubtless
these tendencies which cause boys
and girls to select for coasting pur-
poses the hill with the sharpest in
cline and, if possible. the one with a
street car line crossing at the foot
thereof.

TWO KINDS.

TWO KINDS.
There are two kinds Of people on
earth today;
Just two kinds Of people, no more, !
say,
Not the sinner and saint, for tbs well
understood
The good are half bad and the bad are
half good.
Not the rich and the poor. for, to
count a mans wealth
You must first know the state of his
conscience and health;
Not the humble and proud, for, in
life's little span,
Who puts on vain airs is not counted
a man.
Not the happy and sad, for the swift
flying years
Bring each man his laughter and each
man his tears.
NO. the two kinds of people on earth
that / mean
Are the people who lift and the peo-
pie who lean.
Wherever you go you will find the
worlds masses
Are always divided in just these two
classes;
And. oddly enough, you will find too.
| ween,
There is only one litter to twenty who
lean.
On which class are you? Are you cas-
ing the load
OF overtaxed lifters who toll down
the road2
Or are you leaner. who lets others
bear
Your portion of labor and worry and
care?

which have enormously increased the
cost of railroad operation which we
cannot go into because of lack OF
space. The public is constantly de-
handing more efficient and safer
service, and hence the railroads have
had to spend vast sums in installing

THE PUBLIC AND THE MANAGER.
On the one hand, for the last TWEEN
ty-five years the public has demanded
the best and highest efficiency in serv
Ice and lower rates in one and the
same breath. On the other hand stand
the thousands Of men and women who
have invested their money in railroad
securities and who, in common with
the farmer, the manufacturer and the
merchant, believe they are entitld to
a fair profit. Then come the hundreds
of thousands of employees who are
continually clamoring for an increase
in wages, as well as the cost of all

America First-and Last.

Only one exception can properly be
taken to the remarks of the President Of
the United States on the subject Of neu-
trality. Such exception. too, is limited
to any possible implication that at some
future time the United States may under
take the role Of mediator in the European
conflict.
The perils Of such an undertaking are
too manifest to need discussion. We shall
make no friends, serve no useful purpose,
render no permanent service to mankind.
by endeavoring to interrupt a struggle,
which, however terrible, is logical inevi-
table. TO be settled only by the complete
defeat Of one Of the two groups of ma
tions.
Two ideas. two conceptions, Of national
and international affairs are fighting a
battle in which one must triumph if the
world is to have peace henceforth. Peace,
lasting peace. is possible only if one shall
prevail. To assist in imposing a truce on
Europe, with the great issue unsettled,
would be to perpetuate, not abolish, inter-
national conflict.
America first is an admirable motto
America, first and last, is an even better
policy. This country had to settle its own
Civil War for itself Such European
mediation as might have been had in that
era would have meant the continuation,
not the termination, Of the struggle be-
tween the North and the South.
At a time when the fiftieth anniversary
Of Appomattox stirs American memories
it is fitting that Americans should recall
how impossible it was that their own
great struggle could end in any other way
than it did. Let us have peace" was
the noblest Of all phrases, but it was
spoken after AppomattoX, not after
Vicksburg and Gettysburg.

Women 8 Work in Suffrage States.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Referring to a letter appearing in
recent issue OF your paper and signed MAR
jorie Dorman," | ask that you please give
me space to correct few misstatements
contained in its text. The writer says In
speaking of the canneries bill in its relation
TO suffrage that there "is absolutely no re-
striction placed on the hours Of women in
canneries in California, Oregon and Wash
ington, where women vote" and I'VE are get
ting equality with men in those states"
II Miss Dorman had investigated she would
have had little difficulty in ascertaining that
there is restriction placed upon the hours
women shall work in all manufacturing, me-
chanical and mercantile establishments in
all three of the states she mentions Cali
fornia and Washington enforce an eght-hour
day for women, and in addition California
limits hours 70 forty-eight week and Wash
'ngton ffty-six a week. Oregon permits a
ten-hour working day for women, sixty hours
q week.
Each Of those states has a special com
mission to study the general work Of women
and children, all of which are more or less
the same in result. The Oregon law serves
as an excellent example. There it is declared
unlawful 20 employ women or minors in any
occupation for longer than the ten-hour stat
