BEFORE AND AFTER TOM PLATT, i
|
The presence of Tom Platt in the j
Senate for so many years is now made j
evident to all men who have been
what for so many years many men of
more intimate knowledge said it was
an anchor whereby special privil
ege held fast and could not be dis
lodged. With his death, immediately
(he movement to establish the parcels j
post, long before successfully operat- j
ed iu other countries, but scoffed at
as impractical and impossible by those
in whose power it lay in this country,
began to take shape, and shortly to
be established and successfully oper- j
a ted. j
Tom l’latl was not. only political j
boss in New York and a power in the
Senate: he was the T’nited States Ex
press company, the stock of which
company, while he was such, was one
of the very gilt-edge securities of the
market. The United States Express
Company is about to liquidate—to go
out of business. Viewed from the ;
standpoint of these good old times ,
when Tom Platt was Tom Platt, there!
is nothing in it any more.
Of course, there are those who will
say, "But the government has promis
ed nol to injure private business.”
The government does not say that, j
The government says it will not in
jure legitimate private business. The j
express companies have been shown
to he one of the most baneful of trusts, j
discriminating against the American (
people in favor of foreign peoples and I
levying excessive tolls foi* its service. ;
Since the establishment of the parcel j
post, express companies have changed j
from entirely, rendering better service j
for less money. They will nol go out ;
of business, either. They will, as a I
rule, adjust themselves to the new ^
condition, he satisfied with reason
able rates and profits, and find plenty !
of business under them.
Everybody" -except those who have '
been accustomed to the rare pickings j
of special privilege- is satisfied with:
the way the parcel post is working. I
and that is the main thing.—Ex. :
Woman’s place may be the home,
but, says the Baltimore Sun, judging
from recent statistics, she seems to
have deliberately ignored the fact, for
there are 239,077 stenographers, 327,
635 teachers and professors, 481,159
in various trades, 770,055 engaged in
agricultural pursuits, 7,300 physicians
and surgeons, 7.395 clergy-'‘men," 2,
193 journalists, 1,037 architects, de
signers and draftsmen. 1,010 lawyers,
529,497 women in various professions.
Wool which never saw the back of
a sheep is being largely used in Eu
rope for making men’s clothes. It is
known by the name of limestone
wool, and is made in an electric fur
nace. Powdered limestone mixed with
a certain chemical is thrown into the
furnace, and after passing under a
furious blast of air is tossed out as
fluffy white wool. After coming from
the furnace the wool is dyed and tin
ally made into lengths of doth.
The State of Louisiana is going to
try to enjoin Secretary McAtioo from
the enforcement of the sugar sched
ule of the new tariff law. The 100
year-old infant sugar industry of
Louisiana has enjoyed high protection
so long it has come to regard the
tariff as one of its inalienable rights,
Jack Cook, who has been working !
on the Big Pour property on Mineral
creek, is in town. He expects Mrs.
Cook to return on the next boat and
came to town to welcome her return.
