The war rates on first-class mail matter have now
been lowered, and letters may be mailed for two cents an
ounce as formerly. Post cards are likewise reduced from
two cents to the old one-cent rate.
It may seem a trivial thing. Many people say they
tare little what the letter rate is thev spend so small a
45e'part of their income on postage. But it is no trifle to
.as. the government. That extra cent on letters and post
cards increased the postoffice revenues $120,000,000 in
less than two years. -
You paid it. Everybody paid it, though some natur
ally paid more than others. It bore with special weight

If stumping tours arc resorted to in the case of the
peace treaty, it will be the first time in the history of this
country that such a thing has been done. In all previous
cases the senate has been left to the work of accepting or
rejecting the proposed terms without direct appeal to
popular opinion.
It is perhaps a good thing that this most important
are made by checks, which, when endorsed, are good
enough receipts for anybody. It also stopped cluttering
the mails with some useless correspondence. But in the
main, it was a tax on useful communication and thus a
tax on intelligence and constructive business. So it is
well abolished.
The government still needs money, but it can raise it
better in some other way for example, in the form of
taxes accruing from the profits on increased business due
to lower postage.
According to E. F. Dunne, former governor of Il
linois, the statement of Sir James MaePherson regarding

There is-one great danger however, in this public ap
peal, and that is that crafty political purposes may be
hidden under the eloquent and stirring language, and
people may be led by fiery and catching speeches to make
false deductions. This ha3 been done in many a cam
paign on less important issues.

situation, such as the attempt to interest the United States
senate in taking up the Sinn Fein issue.
Mayhap there is something in the assertion that the

Down in California the anti-suffradsts are calling upon
To guard against this it is most durable that men of Governor Stephens to resist the appeals being directed at

against specious, misleading oratory. The man who
cannot back his statements with clear, concise reasons
understandable to the plain people should be driven from
the platform by popular disapproval.
Great issues are at sta"ke, and it is a pity th;it party
politics can enter. But if every voter will make an earnest
effort to inform himself on the League of Nations, which
is of course the stumbling point, and will subscribe to no;
argument wnicn is not maniiesuy iree irum puny ur yt-i-sonal

RIPPLING RHVMES
By Walt Mason
The nation can get out of the League of Nations in
two years if it disapproves of the League. The nation
can get one-third of the United States senators out cf their
jobs in less than two years if it disapproves of them.
A man may be insane without being a murderer and
yet, to all appearances, the reverse is seldom true.

Why not be broad minded enough, re
gr.rdlen of party affiliation, to ac
knowledge that President Wooiirow
Wilson by his work has do le more thun
any other man to bring the war to an
end, nml that he has saved the sacrifice
of millions of livesf This woa'd be nil
initted by nil if it were not fof the
partisanship that is easing .t.way on
the finer sense and libernlit of mind
of those who lire guided by the thought
of partv welfare. All should be Amer
ican enough to recognize and frankly
admit the eminent ability and wonder
ful accomplishment of their president
in behalf of humanity and democracy.
Were he a Republican in politics ho
would be in some eyes the-en ntest man
living. In our opinion he tetiirns to
America more of an American than
cither a Pemocrat or Republican. Ho
may first have to retire from party pol
itics or puss awny, but ho will go down
in history as ono of the great American
president.
