PERKINS, NE^'S EPITOR FUjiUSHED BY THE ASHLAND PRINTING CO ASffLAWQ HÄILY T O Ì O 8 ?ftWlAgp A-^TV Ore«WB V<xM»mcc osecongyuMMAq The Editor’s Mail BKa<.wg»AA - Rvery morning the editor comes to the office to find his desk piled a foot diigh with letters, news papers and periodicals from all cbrnegs of the globe. There is enough uc^s |n that batch of mail'to fjl( thé ordinary newspaper, without using a tine of local qr the 15,OQ0-word telegraph, report received. Then the editor’s work begins. Swiftly but care fully he opens each envelope and peruses its con tents, preparing the best of it for publication, rele gating the poorer to the Alaste basket. It is a long, tedious job but it is interesting. There is no mail so entertaining, so enlightening' as that of the editor. A peek into yesterday’s mail will give you an idea of its variety. Following are some of the things it brought to his attention:' Estimated export of beehive coal from North Atlantic ports for week was 829,124 tons. Department of agriculture suggests general con servatism as to crop acreage in 1927. Meeting of the “ committee of òhe thousand,” confession’ of prohibition organization, was a “ tacit confession” prohibition’s complete failure. Prohibition is not responsible for denatunpits iq alcohol.' Electric horsepower use^ ip manufacture of purses, pocketbooks and card, cases was 23.9, per cent greater in 1923 than 1923. • * Total value of mirrors produced in 1926 was $34,679,471. The National Wood Chemical association of Bradford, Pa., wants us all to call the. stuff ‘,‘ma- fhanol” instead of wood alcphok Pennsylvania railroad ’« quarterly stock divi dends “ spread happiness in many lands.” November shipments of floor mid wall tile were 4,968,841 square feet. State bankers’ committee declares McFadden bill without the Hull amendments is in conformity with anti-branch policy. Association against thq prohibition amendment calls on President Coolidge to detail marines and coast guardsmen tq guarfi stores of poisonous al cohol. Scottish Rite nerws bureau* launches attack qu fascism. f- And that’s not Ill/ 1 ’• all. I ... Recently Mrs. John Perrin wrote a Michigan judge thanking him for his part in the speedy dis patch of justice that sent foup slayers of her brother a police sergeant, to the penitentiary for life. No sociologist ever pointed out more clearly the only Way t<> check juvenile delinquency than did Mrs. Petrin in her letter. This is what she saiff: • “ It seems a sad state of affairs ^hen so many of our young men fall so willingly into criminal WAY«. We (she and her husband) are wondering whether a little more ?f the old-fashioneff home life, with its family tics of love, auff respect for the rights and privileges of each other, might not help to start the young out in life with higher aims and nobler aspirations.” I t is true that sometimes men brought up in ideal home conditions became criminals, but that is so selffom that it indicates nothing but a lack of normality in them. Big Insurance The insurance companies can’t complain of any lack trf patrpnage. They find that they now have oatstanding $79,000,000,000 of old-line life insur ance on t h is continent. That is at least one-fifth as much as the total wealth of the V«ited States. The beneficiaries, too, can’t complain. In 1906 they received $287,000,000 which was an immense sum f°r that time. This year the companies will pay the sum of $1,350,000,000. There is no branch of husipess and uo form of prosperity in which the public may take more satis faction than this same thriving life insurance busi- hpsfl. Its ^eYelopmept h«s brought to million« of families a thrift and a sense of security never 1». - pout : r a x 10 Years Ago B. J. Raiser arrived home to day from his eastern ti)p , hav C.
