The Zone Postage Rate.

The big magazines and some OF
the largest daily papers are making
strenuous effort to have the zone
rates on publications. abolished and
secure a return to the fiat rate.
which gave them the same advan-
tages in every state in the union
that are enjoyed by the papers or
magazines printed in those states.
They have enjoyed this graft at
government expense tor SO many
years that they assume an inherent
right to it, and are very 10th to
give it up.
Many an ambitious magazine
has been attempted in the western
states, but have failed because the
millionaire publishers Of eastern
magazines could circulate their
publications in Colorado or Kansas,
tor instance, as cheaply as the pub
Usher in that state
For years the postal department
has been carrying the bloated,
heavy magazines, with their thou
sands of pages of mail order and
other advertising, at 18th what it
cost the department to carry it.
Who paid the difference? The
business interests OF the nation to.
day are taxed three cents postage
on every letter, il 1t carried only to
the next town, to make up the de-
ficiency caused by transporting
magazines thousand or two thou
sand miles at one. eighth cost. You
are charged two cent on letter or
statement addressed to your friend
or customer in the next block.
Do you think it costs the govern
ment two cents to handle that
letter?
The postal privileges allowed the
popular" publications amount to
a subsidy from the national treas
ury of thousands. of dollars on
every issue, and on all of them
runs far into the millions every
year. Somebody must pay it.
Who foots the enormous bill? You
and l and everybody else who
mail letters. But for the subsidy
granted these monster magazines,
we might have one cent rate on
letters instead of three. Why
should not the magazines pay their
way?
The plea is advanced that these
magazines are educational and

formation and on the general intel
igence OF the people. But many
If them are made up largely of
stories of doubtful morality, and
some are positively unfit for decent
people TO read. What educational
value is there in reading that some
fictitious hero or heroine paused
to light a cigaret," or that "he
pressed her to himself and felt the
thrill of her soft young body
against his own, and enjoyed the
fragrance of her amazing person
altyf" Magazine stories are full
of such expressions. Damned rot!
1t costs the publisher of the
Gazette one cent pound to send
his little bunch of papers to Ala
mosa. Before the zone rate wen,
into effect it cost the big New York
or Philadelphia magazine exactly
the same to send its car loads OF
trash and advertising to Colorado
or the Pacific coast. No wonder
they are trying to destroy the zone
system. If any change is made,
the rates should be advanced

KENTUCKIANS ARE ALARMED
Their 6-MiIIion-GalIon Reserve 10
Fast Evaporating.

According to revenue officials In
Lexington, KY, prohibition is being
aided even by evaporation and leakage
of whisky which is being held in bar
rels by the government. There are
S,224,O16 gallons of whisky held in the
Lexington district alone. 1t Is valued
at many millions of dollars. Fully as
much more is held in other revenue
districts in the state.
Revenue men say that in 16 years
this whole amount will have gone to
"staves," meaning evaporation and
leakage from the wood will leave only
the aroma. To prove this, it was
shown Mt the revenue office that In
1880, at Paris, KY, go barrels Of
whisky was not bottled for II years.
Then 1t was decided to put 1t into
new barrels. When the old barrels
were opened not over two gallons re-
mained in each barrel, so remOrseless
had been the process of evaporation.

then the Sudanese chiefs congratulate

vow loyalty to the cause for which
Great Britain had taken up arms. And
none Of 1t would have been but for
Gordon's sacrifice.

Matters Of EtymoIoay.S

words can always find fantastic sim

ogy Is disputed but possibly from the
French meaning cake" the Land of
Cakes. 1t has been connected with
"Cockney," whose origin also is un-
certain, meaning a dweller in London
In sound Of Bow bells. "Cocayne" is
usually spelled "Cockaigne." The two
words differ absolutely in pronunci-
alton, for II must be remembered that

taken during the convention OF the

The historical value of the picture
cannot be underestimated for the

recordance of eTents accurately
based on history.
John Smith, oldest Of living In

and keen cut, showing in detail the
beauty of the northern Minnesota
forests and lakes, the olden seen es
and the modern. The film is we'll
