Perhaps It la wltb some thought of
thia possibility that Postmaster Gen
eral Payne baa decided upon putting
Into effect the above far-reaching pol-
icy. Whether labor will regard the
move a* a direct challenge to Itaelf and
another evidence of corporate discrim-
ination otl the part of the administra-
tion remain* to be seen.
There I*, however, one viewpoint
from which much benefit might be
gained from such action on the part
of the government. Putting aside all
question of labor Interference, It Is
an undeniable fact that. In connection
with all other 'mposttlona which the
taxpayer* have been forced to *tand
In connection with the conduct of the
Dsntal department certain favored
railroad monopolies have for years
grown richer and richer from govern-
ment contract* for carrying the mall*.
If all road* are now to lie permitted
to perform this function, perhaps the
monopoly so long enjoyed by the fa
vortd one* will be broken, and one of
■the principal cause* of the annual "de-
Belt" In !he postal department will be
removed.
At any rate the result of this pro-
mulgat'on will be awaited with a deal
of curiosity on the part of the public,
w hich has learned of *o much rascality
and robbery In that department that It
will be apt to regard with suspicion
any innovation, the Juatlce of which 1*
not patent
That the government Is in the con
trot of the corporation* and monopolies
no honest, reasonable man will deny
and union labor men will learn In due
lime that the republican parly will car
ry out the wishes of the corporations.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 18, 1903.
AN IDEAL POLICEMAN.
Every now and then, from out the
tond and bustle of city life, comes a
lesson of heroism, of devotion to duty,
of courage, and of appreciation of nil
these virtues, which Is In plbdsihg con-
trast with the police court docket* arid
the records of the divorce courts.
Down In New York the other day lit
tie Pauline Muller, '1 years old. ob-
tained two pennies, and for the (list
time In her short life was permitted to
go unattended to the candy stoic. Two
blocks from home, she paused In the
middle of the street Two great entile
tars bore down upon her. one from
each opposite direction Appalled^ahe
i owl while the motormen frantically
i tanged their gongs and vainly sought
to bring their monster juggernauts to
a standstill
Presently a big man rushed out into
th« street with the swiftness or a
trained athlete; he grabbed the woe
form a* he tied, and Utterly snatched
her from the Jaw* of death. Then be
MR GRAVES IS ANSWERED.
As The Time* Mated at the time
John Temple Graves of Georgia made
a mistake In attempting to Justify mob
violence In the south. In he Brat place
there Is no valid excuse for mobs vio-
lating the law In nnv section of the
country, und In the second place Mr.
Graves made a mistake In defending
mobs In the south, for the reason that
no matter how tenable might be his
position his statements would lie con-
torted by the northern press with a
view to making It appear that the
southern people refuse to obey the law.
The Pittsburg Times, commenting on
Rev. Babbitt’s reply to Mr. Graves,
says:
Rev. Dr. Babbitt of New York yes-
terday answered the plea of John
Temple Graves concerning lynching.
Both found voice for their opinions
at Chautauqua, nnd It hardly needs to
lie said that Dr. Bnhhltt had no great
task In answering every argument
thud Mr. Graves put forth. There Is
but one lhlti* to be said about lyndh
law, and that Is that It la the subver-
sion of real law, which Is the author-
ity of the people. If the people arc
not to he trusted, If the law of, the
country Is not sufficient tn deal with
crime, and If lynch law Is more swift
anil righteous and effective fhan the
statute, then we may as well give up
all to anarchy nnd the mob. Mr.
Graves says In effect that the mob Is
more to Is depended upon than the
officers of the court, and Ilia: a culm
Inquisition Is less trustworthy than a
fiendish and unreasoning hate. Dr.
Babbitt says that lynchers cun ho
classed only as plain, savage, brutal
murderers That is the whole thing

A CHALLENGE TO STRIKERS,
Information from Washington ah
nounctng that Postmaster General
Payne baa decider! to issue an order
that will practically make all railroad
train* mail trains, thus making all
trainmen government employes, u at
trading widespread attention and com
merit. The dispatches from Washing
ion say that '’Incidentally this will ole
date the Interference with Interstate
commerce and passenger traffic by
striker* u* fn limes past.”
It Is reported that at a convention
raceutly held In the neighboring city
of Niagara Kails, a delegate. Allied
Young, president of a teamsters’ union,
shouted “Let u* work as a unit and
no combination of capital tan defeat
us. We have fought everything up to
the United States government, and
have not lost a baltle."
Commenting on this, the Chicago
Chronicle said the other day: ’’This
Is a sinister hint. A threat Is Im
plied which should not escape public
notice. * • • An implied meaning In
Ihe boast that the teumMcre have
'fought everything up to the United
Htatee government’ must be to the ef-
fect that they are now ready to fight
the United States. The tabor war Is
again drifting In that direction. The
the victim alone that
common sense prompts the sam* man
to think when he talks of mob law.
It Is of the safety of the country and
of our Institution- If the mob Is
right at one time it takes only a llftle
stretching of the conscience to helipvd
that it Is right all the time, which
meins the end of government and the
beginning of anarchy. Plain, sav
age brutal murder—that tells all Of
lynching. But nothing can tell all of
It* hideous result* If it i» not soon
checked.
Any city ordinance ran lie enforced
by arres lng and fining half doxen of
Its violator*.
Strange no one suggested that the
in » Cleveland baby would be named
W. J. Cleveland."
Heatlle Times: A good ndvertlae-
"iciit works when you sleep. It I* a
perpetual guide to the would l»- buyer
and always lead* to one plane—that of
the man who advertises.
The Georgia senate, aroused by the
shameful developments In the De Crist
caw. has passed a bill prohibiting the
whipping of women convict*. Thl* 1*
a step iu the right direction which
should receive the approval of the
other branch of the legislature ami the
governor without delay.
What has become of El Paso's "move
on" ordinance? The Times promised
the public It would be enforced by the
uew administration; but ladles and
children still have to go out into the
street to pass certain points where the
sidewalks are blocked by loud-mouthed
men. squirting tobacco spit on the
pavement.
Advicen from Bogota show that no
arllon baa yet been taken by the Co-
lombian senate for the final rail flea |
lion of the canal treaty. A number of !
amendment-, which have been proposed j
remain to be voted upon. The princi-
pal of them. It Is said, call* for an in-
crease in the amount of money to l>e
paid by the United Mate*. No doubt
a determined effort will be made to
hold up Und* Sam for more cash, but
the attempt is likely to meet with a \
very frigid reception at Washington.

BE K1NQ TO YOURSELF.
The “L»r*evl's«s" of This as la t*e
Kroneny of Iks Hubs.
Apropos of the Isousekertter “who
resulted that- her kitchen sink should
Is- kept no clean that one could eat In
It," Mrs. Huruh do W. Ganivndl rises
to remark Iti Good Housekeeping:
The query arlws, "\WI>o wishes to cat
In a kitchen sink, or when, even In the
Iswt arranged house, was a kitchen
sink lnteud«*l for such n purpose?"
Granted that drains und win’s un-
provided to keep a kitchen sink whole-
some and that means deodorizing anil
free egress und Includes protection
from pest* anything more.Is a waste
of time and 'bought As regards san-
itation, the kitchen with Us accessories
Is the pivotal spoke In the home wheel.
It doe* not follow that t|ic kitchen
flisir should be ns Immaculate ns a
tn-iieher for bread cutting or a plank
for slind broiling. The domain of the
hon*ckee|H>r Is so wide and her (Julies
so onerous that she cannot afford to
dissipate her energy upon trivialities
unless she neglects the weightier mat-
ter* and makes herself n drudge and
her life n burden, and not only her
own life, hut the lives of nil under her
roof.
I heard of a woman who entered her
kitchen every morning before break-
fast armed with an immaculate linen
hnodkerrhlef. "W’hol did she do with
It?” Hhc ran It across the edge of la-r
kitchen range, and woe to the cook If
It even soiled. This Is not a freak of
the Imagination; It la a fact. Another
fact stand* forth ay It* parallel: Kitch-
en range* were not the only seif Im-
posed misery of this deluded house-
keeper. To obtain servant* became nil
Impossibility, uial the strange thing
Hliout It Is she could never understand
the reason why. Neither could she un-
derstand why her huslmml spent so
little time at home. It Is to lie Imped
that as regards children there were
none.
"My ndvlco to you Is, don't make
your»#Jf a slave to your kitchen Hour.”
This, from an experienced housekeeper
to a young wife, did not mean that (lie
kitchen Uoor should not lie clean; only
that Its pluco was Hiihnrilluute. You
have a sunny dlulng room, n snug par-
lor. n little library and n cozy corner.
