DOES SECRECY PAY?

The railroads having complained that their returns for carrying the mails have been inadequate, the United States government is now weighing every parcel ot mall carried by rail to ascertain whether payment for trans portation should be made a weight or space basis
 An investigation conducted by postal committee a year ago disclosed among many other interesting things that the government paying the railroads to trans rort 15O pounds of mail from New York to Chicago con- sderaby more than the price of frStclass passenger fare between those points.
 The price paid the railroads for this character of ser vice was long sore spot aggravated by frantic efforts to keep the exact figures from the public and possessing other incidents exhibiting the symptoms of suppressed scandal.
 The present plan put the matter on strictly busl- ness basis and give the publicity as other routine activities of the government will appeal strongly to com mon sense.
 There is nothing destructive to confidence than conceament of facts in such matters and nothing more silly as in such cases imagination paints the facts backer than they actually are general rule.

Frank Holman. evidently a male of
the suifragist species. writes the New
York World that the sunragists are
second to none in respectful consid-
Grafton for the president which is
supplemented by admiration for and
gratitude toward the president, whose
sincere enthusiasm for equal suffrage
makes the antics of the picketing la
dies trebly absurd. The cause Of equal
suffrage has little TO fear from Ants
The ladies OF the Congressional Tn
ion, however, are rapidly losing votes
for the cause which they claim to
have at heart" Just what we said
the other day.
II the method employed by the Con
Gressional Union is so excellent and
Commendable. why is it that their
sympathizers among Georgia suffra-
eists didn't picket the executive man
sion in Atlanta or the capitol last
summer? Why didn't they stand out
in front of the state house with ban
ners inscribed, What will you do for
suffrage, Governor or with similar
appeal to the solons? The probable
answer is that the Georgia suffragists
90 not approve of that procedure and
are not animated by the circus spirit.
Instead of cutting capers like that
they appealed in an orderly and rea-
sonable way and, although they did
rot succeed this time, they gained
ground. The Georgia suffragists know
that the tactics used by the Congress
sionaI Union do not beft self-respect-
ing and respected women, and they
will never adopt such a style of at
tack. For the great body of suffra-
gists we have had, and shall have
the utmost respect. Every political
party. every class, every propaganda
has within its ranks small body
of fanatics and whirling dervishes.

The volume of absolute prohibition

United States then, as it is now do

contrayention OF its rights, and made
preparations to protect them at any

Americans who demanded war imme'
