NEW YEARS IN WASHINGTON.
Worlds Rulers Wish President Happy
New Year,

Washington, Jan. 2.-Celebration Of
New Years day in Washington was with
out many of the official features which
have marked the advent of the New
Year in the past. President Wilson held
no New Year reception, custom he
omitted when he came in Office, and Sec.
rotary Lansing did not give the custom
airy diplomatic breakfast. Secretaries
Baker of the war department and Dan-
iels of the navy, however, held recep-
tions.
Cablegrams from virtually all rulers
of the world. wishing the president a
happy New Year, arrived at the White
House. They came from the heads of
the belligerent nations of Europe as well
as from the presidents of South and
Central American republics.
President Wilson's only formal en-
gagement for the day was a call of cour-
tesy by Prince Mahidol, brother of the
king of Siam, who was presented at the
White House by the Siamese minister,
Phya Prabha Karavongse.
The president sent a cablegram TO the
king of Siam congratulating him on his
birthday, which fell yesterday, and to
the president OF Hayti in celebration of
the anniversary Of the independence of
that country.
Government departments were closed
all day.

LEADERSHIP

Many important interests had
things to say to the public during
the past year They found the me-
dunn of newspaper advertising the
effective place to say them. Among
the greater developments along
these lines of public service were:
The further enlargement of the
idea of advertising for the goodwill
of the people on the part of the
railroads, telephone companies and
other public service corporations;
The growth in space of institu
tional advertising on the part of
manufacturers who are producing a
variety of staple products;
A nation wide campaign of adver-
Using by the railroads which crys-
talized public sentiment at the time
a great strike was threatencd
A nationwide advertising cam
paign on the part of the Bethlehem
Steel Company.
Employment of newspaper adver-
Using for the first time by the
Democratic and Republican national
committees.
This latter development was per-
haps the most wholesome achieve
ment of the recent political cam
paign.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR

The meeting Of the Christian En-
deavor of the Union Church Sunday
night was led by Miss Lillian Fort
Of the Academy Department. The
topic was Seeing the Good in
Others" Altho the weather was
very bad, the attendance was good
and the spirit shown was encourage
ing. According TO the leader, all are
not bad, there is some good in every
one and much good in the majority.
A plea for the recognition Of the
good as a substitute for the condem-
nation of the bad was Characteristic
of her talk.
The meeting next Sunday will be
joint affair between the Christian
Endeavor of the Christian Church
and that Of the Union Church at the
chapel. Glen Phelps, president
Of the Union Church C. E., will lead
the meeting. II will be the second
of the meetings which have been
arranged TO celebrate Christian En-
deavor Week. There will be special
music and other attractions.

authorities at Washington TO grant
one cent local rate in all cities
and towns where deliveries are
made. This is the first step, the one
which counts, according TO those
who are prosecuting this campaign
towards securing a general rate for
the entire country.
In connection with a one cent rate
for local first class mail deliveries
il is planned TO have a zone system
Of rates for second class matter,
which is expected TO increase the
charges on all periodicals of nation
wide circulation. The proposition
has been put in a concrete way by
being made a part Of the appropria-
ton bill OF the post Office depart
ment. Under the provision relat-
ing TO one cent postage, all first class
matter, including letters when mail
ed in any city or rural district for
delivery within the limits Of the
city or district would be carried at
a one cent rate.
For handling newspapers and mag
azines a zone plan has been propOs-
ed the idea being TO divide the
country into eight zones, as follows:
Local, first, second and third
Zones-under 300 miles cent
per pound.
Fourth Zone-30O to GOO miles,
cents per pound.
Fifth zone-6OO to 1000 miles,
cents per pound.
Sixth zone-i0OO TO 400 miles
cents per pound.
Seventh zone-ii0O to 1900 miles
cents per pound.
Eighth zone-over 1900 miles-6
cents per pound.
Free-in-county circulation pro-
vided by the present law would con-
tinue as at present. Daily news
papers will not be affected, because
they do not circulate beyond a 300
mile radius.
Among other provisions, the bill
increases rates for mail order cat
alogues from two to eight cents

minutes were occupied. I was not

pacity Of the rotunda, but of the vast

pound, making them third class
mail matter instead Of parcel post.
This provision vitality interests
every merchant in every city thru
out the country. Although the
cost Of carriage Of these catalogues
for a long time has been a great
deal higher than charged, no de-
finite step has ever been taken TO
increase the rate until the present
provision was included in the ap-
preparation bill.
The post Office committees Of the
senate and house have received lit
orally millions of names on petition
in the last few months asking for
lower rate than now charged. The
committee has held number Of
sessions and made very careful
survey of the situation, and believes
that a lower postage bill can be
passed by Congress. Chairmen of the
various committees and members of
the committees themselves have in
many instances expressed their
hearty approval Of the proposed
changes. and IL is not expected that
much difficulty will be found in Sc
curing the lower rate.
There is every prospect that the
drop letter proposal will be passed
by the present session of congress
and put into effect very shortly.
This will mean saving Of many
millions Of dollars On the part of
letter users Of the country who are
now required to pay twice the cost
of carriage.
II has been expressly stipulated
that newspapers having a circula-
ton within a 300 mile radius are
not TO be affected by the proposed
change. as it is felt that their edu-
cational influence is too valuable to
have them affected in any way, par
ticularly as they sell for a very
small price, much less in proper
ton than many of the national mag
azines, which are carried several
thousand miles to their destination.
Last year, first class mail made a
profit for the government of over
s75,OOO,0OO per year, while second
class or periodical mail lost a sum
equally as large. thus offsetting the
biggest item of profit which the post
Office department shows. II is con-
fldently expected that an increased
business created through the lower
rate in cities and towns will make
up the revenue saved to letter users.
