CIRCUS ENFORCEMENT.

There were sensational police raids
in. New York long before Nolstead and
there are lively memories of gambling
house door smashing and of the IN
vestment OF disorderly resorts by pla-
toons OF detectives. But there has been
nothing in the local history of spec
tacular law enforcement to match In
ostentatious futility the raid OF Broad
way restaurants by ninety Prohibition
agents on Monday night.
Dividing their forces into squads,
the raiders invaded four prominent
and respectable restaurants, barred
the doors and searched the premises
for liquor. subiecting diners To incon-
venience and annoyance and generally
creating a disturbance in the name of
the law. And the net result of the raid
was the confiscation of a handful of
bottles which may or may not have
contained liquor, and the arrest of
fourteen persons on charges which re-
main to be proved.
This is the very hysteria Of Pro

POSTAL SERVICE.

Postmaster General Hays submits
an annual report on the department
which promises well for the future
of the service under his direction. An
Item, in illustration, already accom-
plished, is the saving of $4,000 600
through the recasting OF a contract
with the furnishers of stamped en-
velopes and newspaper wrappers. An
item in support OF his effort to inn
prove the service is his defense Of
wage adjustments, which will attract
and hold men "of the ability required
in the conduct OF such an institution"
An item in evidence Of his insistence
upon the inyiols biity of the mails is
his assertion that 81 must be true
that the mails may be late, but they
are never lost"
What probably will prove more pop
ular and perhaps eventually more
! profitable TO the nation than any
other one thing, however, is his pro-
gram for development of the postal
savings system. Mr.. Hays ass rts, and
most persons will agree with him, that

In regard to contested elections. Sir
Robert Wslpole laid down in the
eighteenth century the good old rule
of no quarter" to sthe other party;
and Thad Stevens's artless inquiry,
Which is our id rascal?" ex-
presses still more forcibly the habitual
practice. 1t was natural that Senator
Moses should take advantage Of the
Newberry case and emit real old
fashioned. screaming partisan speech.
He 1ilated upon the universal and the
particular weakness and wickedness,
her edlty and incurable, of the Demo-
cratic Party. He lambasted Mr.. Will
sons administration. Doubtless Sena-
tor Harrison or some other Demo-
cratic apologist and hammered of the
Republicans will spread upon the
Congressional Record some blistering
observations upon the Hartford con-
vention and the Blue Lights" That
is the almost invariable reply which i
Southern Congressman makes when .
New England brother pretends to be
greatly grieved by inherent Demo-
cratic cussedness and the special
Southern sin of cleaying to the Demo-
cratic party.
All these excursions into the past,
ancient or recent, are merely
ludicrous. The American people are
not breaking their heads over the con-
duct of the draft or the conduct of
the war or of Mr.. Wilson's Admins
tratiOn. They are not interested in
what the Democrats did or did not do

JUST FOLKS
THE LASTING JOY.
by Edgar A. Guest

What is better than the glad
Rush of little girl or lad
Down the street to greet you when
You are getting home again?
Where's the sight that's half so sweet
AS the scampering OF those fee:
And the smiles Of welcome true,
Flung so lavishly at you?
Tell you this. I'd rather be
Him the children love TO see
Than the pampered prince or king
Bowing to the laundering
of the greetings of the throng
AS he proudly rides along,
For they'll cheer the self-same way
For another king some day.
Talk of fame, What can 1t give
That in memory shall Hive
Half so precious as the glad
Greeting of a girl or lad?
Once the touch Of skill grows dim,
Fame shall turn away from him
And forget him while 1t finds
Cleverer hands and younger minds.
But the children faithful stay,
None can lure. their love away;
Fickle throngs in scarce a year
For a younger king may cheer,
Fsme may find brighter wit
And make him her favorite,
But the little giIl or lad
Never meet a better dad.
Here's a welcome that is true
Flung so lavishly at you,
Here are hugs TO cheer YOU so,
Hugs that only you shall know,
Here is where you stand supreme.
Here's the ending of your dr cam
Happy man. when flying feet
Rush to meet you down the street.

TEN.CENT FARES GOING.

Reports from different parts of the
ten-cent fare on electric railways IL
passing. The tendency toward lower
operating costs is being reflected In the
charges for service.
In the East the elimination of Iltney
competition has enabled the companies
concerned to keep lines with light
traffic running and in some cases 90
offer reduced fares. IN the West. as
on the Chicago and Joliet. commuta-
tion tickets issued to workingmen give
n fare of six and one-half cents for
fifty rides a month or five and three
quarter cents for hundred trips In
thirty days. In New York State the
Auburn and Syracuse proposes to re-
duce the fare on city lines from eight
cents to seven cents, and the ten-cent
fare on the longer runs is fixed at
seven cents. Possibly these changes
were due In part TO a desire to stimu-
late traffic. but the probability is tnat
the principal reason will be found in
savings in the expenses OF operation.
The time for return to the five
cent fare throughout the country has
not yet arrived. although in some
places the nickel may give a margin
of profit. But II is apparent that the
ten-cent Are is not TO be permanent
| under average conditions six or seven
cents seems likely TO he the standard
unless there should be unexpected
cuts in wages and prices OF coal and
other supplies. Eight cents may be

to the unwise financial policy OF is
suing paper money in unlimited guam
titles as a means of driving away
business depression and enabling
farmers to realize better prices for
their crops. One rabid green
backer," on being challenged for proof
of one of his radical statements,
scooped bucketful of corn rom a bin
in the room and poured 1t into the
stove. Corn was so cheap at the time
that it was largely used as a fuel In
sections where coal was very dear.
His argument was deemed conclusive
when enforced by this practical illus
tration.
Now there are reports that In many
western communities corn il being
employed as heating fuel because, at
! present rates for corn, 1t is cheaper
! than coal. Secretary OF Agriculture
Wallace recently made the statement
that corn at 90 cents per bushel is
cheaper than coal at $40 a ton. but
this assertion is challenged by some
of the Ohio State University faculty
as not covering the situation, because
corn is not as low as 20 cents n
hushel. Neither Is heating coal as low
as $40 per ton.
Corn in Philadelphia markets was
quoted. this week. at 60@69M cents
for the best grades, which certainly
lifts the staple out of consideration
as heating fuel BIT at 80 cents a
bushel, and 30 bushels to the ton
