Thus the twocent stamp'is overprlrted

stamps with American currency at the
Shanghai, China. postoffice is given
the ordinary American stamp.
That the postoffice department will
send for any of these Shanghai stamps
for it's postage stamp agency TO sell is
extremely doubtful. There is regula-
ton that they may not be sold by the
department except for the local money
current in Shanghai, known as Mex
ican."
The postoffice department has beer

these stamps to send a domestic Honey
order to the United States Postal
Agent, Shanghai He converts the order
into local currency. and makes the pur-
chase. To sell these stamps in the
United States would need special
order of some sort, and none is con-
templated at present.
Considering all the things it is not
established to do, people who have
never collected stamps might not see
how the government stamp agency is
doing the collectors specrsl service by
selling them ordinary current stamps
and very few recent issues.
The important point is that not ali
two-cent stamps look alike to the ex-
pert. The stamp with perforations run
ming into the pink design may be all
right to put On letter, but it isn't
a collectors ideal of stamp beauty.
He wants stamp that has a neat
margin of white around it when it is
torn off the sheet. He particularly
likes to see the perforations form IA
maltese cross where they intersect be-
tween four stamps. Stamps with this
even margin he calls wellcentered.
Collectors who go up to the post
office stamp window and ask for
stamps are often given badly -centered
specimens. Generally the clerk has nc
time to hunt for perfect copies. This
is one of the things that the. stamp
agency is going to do. In selling to
collectors the ordinary current iss' es,
it aims to sell well-centered and ell
perforated speeIfnens.

THE big brass concern" SAYS the
Butte Miner, under normal operations.
consumes considerably more copper
than the entire output of the Butte
camp. and it is reasonable to suppose
that it occupies the same situation rela-
tive to the consumption Of zinc. Thus,
this deal changes the position of the
copper industry, for, instead Of being
simply producer and seller of the red
metal. it now will become large buy
er of copper to make up the difference
between its own production Of that
metal and the amount which the brass
concern will utilize. Under these cir
cumstances, it is hardly possible to i'm
agine situation in which the mines
Of Butte in future ever will produce
more of the red metal than the brass
company will consume. The
reason for this is found in the fact
that the brass concern, even in quiet
times, uses more copper than the Ana
conda company alone can produce. -.

''The early resumption Of mining
and smelling operations will not only
benefit Butte, Anaconda and Great

will indirectly be big benefit to the
whole state"
"The experience Of the last nine
months" says the Anaconda Standard,

!! The Belt Valley Times refers to the
purchase of the brass company as a
'.big thing. one that could only be
done by big men in big way, and
with big capital behind them. It is
one of the accomplishments of A
'soulless' corporation, composed of
men with souls and conscientious
sense of responsibility. 1t is not to
say that the motives actuating the
promoters of this big deal are alto
gethpr humanitarian. They are look
ing to the interest Of the corpora
ton no doubt. but to one who has
watched the trend of affairs in Butte
it has another significance. For sew
eral months since the shutdown of
the mines there, charity has been busy
alleviating suffering and want. Butte
has taken care of its own. but for
every dollar raised in that city by Its
MS. one dollar and half has
been guaranteed by the mining cor
porations. The big corporation in
Montana in past years has been the
target for attacks that has exhausted
the vindictive vocabulary of ranting
t1emagogues. There are still publica..
tions edited by peanut Drained
blathcrskites who pour out invcctive
and abuse in an expiring wall against
things as they are, while they vision
the vanishing job Of the professional
labor leader as we have known him
and tolerated him in past years. Inc
people of Montana have a much
clearer conception Of the value of
capital when directed by men of
human sympathy, than they ever had
before, and it is better thing all
around, better for the people, better
for capital and better for Montana.
