MIR. NEW ON POSTAL RATES

Postmaster General New, in dis cussing the new postal rates, gave Illuminating testimony to the joint postal committee of Congress, but took care to say that his expecta- ton of rise in postal revenue in the future was merely his personal opinion, In praising some of the re cent "raises" and attacking other revisions, he indicated he did not permit his position to cloud his view of the postal situation,
 + The postmaster general undoubt- edly was right in concluding the two most criticized revisions of the pos tai rates were those relating to the increased postage upon private mailing and souvenir cards, and the heavy increase in the rates on copies of newspapers and periodicals when mailed by individuals. Instead Of providing increased revenue these two revisions have led to substantial decreases. There has been an enormous decrease in the quantity of matter of this character mailed by the public" the postmaster gen. eral declared - which is in line with what many predicted at the time the rates went into effect.
 It is probable that Congress vii 1 again revise the rates Hitting upon ! rates which will increase revenue and at the same time please the public Is no easy task. The plan of raising rates to the point where the decrease in mail business more than ! counterbaances the increased rates ! is the wrong way

TESTING BRAKES A GOOD PLAN

The practice of testing autom obile brakes has much to commend 1t and the police are to be congratulated upon the effective manner in which they carried out the innovation in this city. The fact that half the automobiles tested had partly de- fective brakes indicated how nec- essary it was to start to remove this menace to life and limb,
 One would scarcely care to ride in a steam train lacking good brakes, nor even in a trolley car without them. The brakes of all vehicles operating upon tracks are tested regularly and none are al- lowed to be in service without brakes that have the power to cause a quick stop.
 It is just as important that au- tomobilcs be similarly equipped. The total of accidents that have beer caused by defective brakes i' large. Heretofore it has been th' practice 10 test brakes after an ac' i cidcnt; it is more logical and more in the public interest 10 test them before any defects in them may have an opportunity 10 contribute ! 10 trouble.

\ JOB FOR THE SUPREME cot RT

So far the Scopes trial has settled nothing. II is doubtful whether review of the case by the Tennessee supreme court will advance 1t any further except in theory. This cause ccIebrc Wil have to get before the L. s. Supreme Court for final de- termination of the constitutionality of the law. Should the highest court in the land not overturn the Tennes- see law then the nation may be in for the most serious curtailment of acadcmical liberty 10 teach science in the history of the modern world, should the high court veto the law then this menace will vanish.
 As this case goes through the courts one should not lose sight of . the fact that the Tennessee law for bids tho teaching of evolution as a theory, If the law is allowed 10 stand similar statutes will be passed m ether states and an effort proba- hiv will be made 10 pass federal legislation of similar character.
 The Scopes trial has vastly ac- celeratcd bringing this issue to a clmaX. IL will gain the ear Of the f. dcral high court as quickly as it can be shunted there and then we shall know whether dissemination oi scientific knowledge IS to be serious Iv curtaIled in many states or whether the door is to be opened tc Inc teaching Of all facts and theories r,cerdr.ss Of their effects or ton Jc0crs.

Atlantic City, N, J., July o2 RI- A nationwide coal strike unless the government intervenes to prevent abrogation of wage contracts Ill northern West Virginia is threatened by Van A. Bittner, chief representa- tive of the United Mine Workers Ill West Virginia.
 He made the threat in teleGrams yesterday to Secretaries DaVlS ana Hoover. The telegrams charged that defeuseless wives and little children were being evicted from their homes in West Virginia and that gunmen were being employed to cocrce the miners.
 Telegrams protesting against such conditions were also sent to John U. Rockefeller, Jr., and Samuel Unter- myer, who, Bittner understands, are financially interested respectively Tn Consolidation Coal company and the Bethlehem Mines corporation.
 "The time has arrived" the tele- gram to Washington said. "When the government of the United States should take definite position against abrogation of wage contracts bv the coal operators of northern West Virginia. Unless something IS done, it will be necessary for the miners of the entire state of West Virginia to join with the United Mine Workers of America of the rest o1 the country in q general strike
