COMMON courtesy is a gracious act sc
rare ns to be priceless , when it ought
to be quite current coin.
SAFE expansion carries with it the idea
of a great-souled and large-hearted people
ple , a people intelligent and truly free
and independent , a liberty-loving and
liberty-giving people.
A RECENT ruling curtails the sphere
and efficiency of the U. S. money-order
system. Commencing with June ist ,
money-orders are only payable at office
of remitter or payee , the instructions
issued not long since , giving money-
orders the practical efficiency of a draft ,
having been revoked. This may be the
law in the case , but it is a regrettable
blow at the enlargement of the sphere
of action of the money-order depart
ment and a backward step where advance
ment was t& have been hoped for. We
know of no adequate reason why the U.
S. money-order should not "be placed on
the highest scale of e fficiency conven
ience and cost of the gilt-edged draft ,
and "hope to see the system duly expand
to that-point.
Died Under the Knife.
