WORLD-WIDE PENNY POSTAGE % Miif Possible by Recent Robust, Constructive Republican Policy. Convention Between America and England in Effect Oct. 1—Its Blessings to Foreign Born Citizens. i ! ORDER NO. 1007. The l'osiui Administrat ion of Great I Britain haring concurred therein: It is hereby ordered, That, commenc ing on the 1st day of October, 1908, the postage rate applicable to letter* mailed in United States, addressed for delivery at any place in the United Kingdom of Groat Britain anil Ireland, shall be two (2) cents an ounce1 or frac tion of an ounce. I-iCtters unpaid or short paid shall be dispatched to destination, but double |tbe deficient postage, calculated at said rate, shall be collectible of the ad dressees upon the delivery of the un paid or short paid letters. G. V. L. MKYBR, Postmaster General. Behind this simple statement is a vast amount of ltepubllcan construe Mte legislation which resulted In the significant accomplishment, set forth hy tlie Postmaster General, it Is elo quently prophetic of a world wide pen ny postage, for which the credit will he due to a Republican administration. Slltll I I’o.ful I (Hinrpil. The Sixth Universal Postal Congress convened in the city of Rome, Italy, April 7 and continued until May 2n« l.rnil Ihr Way So It has couie to pass that the Unit ed States, under its Republican admin istration, has filially succeeded in en tering into a convention with Great Britain whereby after the 1st of Octo ber this year, a two-cent postage rate will obtain between this country and England. Ireland, Scotland and Wales. We already have such an arrangement with Canada. Mexico, Cuba. Panama and our colonial possessions. This great accomplishment is universally recog nized as the proper beginning which is to result in a universal two-cent postage rate around the world. Imporlnn* Thing* AccuiupHahed. Two other important things that the Republican administration accomplish ed at the Rome Universal Postal Con gress through its representatives, must not be lost sight of. One was the adop tion of a universal return coupon stamp, in exchange for which, upon its presentation at a (tost office in another country, the person presenting it shall receive a postage stamp of the value of 5 cents, good in any country of the world, thus enabling people here to prepay postugi at regular rates upon reply letters. The other significant ^concession was that in all World Postal Congresses to be held in the future, the i’nited States is to be granted an additional vote, in view of its island possessions; so 'hat at all future c 'tigresses our country will be entitled to two votes, as against one vote each oast by every other na tion ill the world. Pnicllrnl Henri!!* to ,000 miles by land—say from Mexico to Alaska—for 2 cents, but must pay 5 cents for a letter of half the weight sent It, I(m» miles to England, An Englishman pays 5 cents on a let tar crossing the Atlantic, .‘i.UKt miles, and 2 cents on one crossing the Indian and South Pacific Oceans, 10,000 miles, to New Zealand. All this is to be rem edied on October the first next, thanks to an enlightened Republican adminis tration. World Is Heady for Hednellon. II will probably be but a short time after the convention between tliis eouit try and England goes Into effect, until I be dream of a universal 2-cent loiter postage, championed by the Republican party, will be realized. Australia, New Zealand and Egypt have already called for the 2-ccnt rate. The Emperor of (Jermany has said that if England es tablishes a 2-eent postage rate with the United States, he will have tier many do the same. France, Italy. South Africa, Japan, Belgium, Hol land, Denmark and Swisleii would tut, little more than an Invitation to fol low suit. A 2-cent postal rate would bind all the South American republics'and the United States still more closely togeth er Into u peaceful, reciprocal, progres slve. civilization, which would mean a more rapid development of both Ameri can continents and a new application of the Monroe doctrine. With these countries agreed, on the object desired, the continent of Europe alone would then be wholly outside this compre hensive postal union, and then the continental powers would not long stand aloof from it. It has remained for the United Stntes to take the Initiative In a move to reap the groat glory of being the I ioneors of a world wide 2-oent post age. MiU'tnr of our citizens wiP feel almost as grateful for this benellcrm act as millions of slaves did. when the Republican party broke the shackles that bound them to perpetual physical rerviccs. BRYAN'S POLICIES DESTRUCTIVE Mr. Taft Compares Republican and Democratic Platforms. (From Mr. Taft's Speech of Accep tance.) The chief difference between the Re publican and the Democratic platforms is the difference which has heretofore been seen between/the policies of Mr. Roosevelt and those which have been advocated by the Democratic candidate, Mr. Bryan. Mr. Roosevelt's policies have been progressive and regulative; Mr. Bryan's destructive. Mr. Roose velt has favored regulation of the busi ness In which evils have grown up so its to stamp out the evils and permit the business to continue. The tendency of Mr. Bryan's proposals has generally been destructive of the business with re spect to which he is demanding reform. Mr. Roosevelt would compel the trusts to conduct their business in a lawful manner and secure the benefits of their operation and the maintenance of the prosperity of the country of which they nre an Important part; while Mr. Bryan would extirpate and destroy the entire business in order to stHmp out the evils which they have practiced. FATHER CARRIED IN EFFIGY* Mock Attention Paid by Bride’s Party to Bridegroom's Relatives Is Indian Custom. There is a curious custom still] prevalent in the Bel I ary district of! India in connection with the wed ding ceremonies among certain Brahmin families. dust prior to the close of tho feasting, a hideous effigy of a male figure, fantastically robed in rags, supposed to represent the bride-, groom's father, is earth'd along 1 ho streets in procession, under the shade ] of a sieve adorned with tassels of onions and mnrgosa leaves. Kvery few yards during the pro ecssion the feet of the efligv have to be r< verenlly washed and its fore head decorated with a caste mark by its liv ing spouse, the bridegroom’s \ mother. The bridegroom's other fe male relatives have several mock at tentions paid to them bv the women] of the bride’s party. i NO DRINKS SERVED LADIES. “Cumberland, in vour good state of Maryland, is about the only town in the I’riited States where they will not furnish a lady with n glass of beer, wine or intoxicating spirit of any kind,” said G. .1. Brooks of Philadelphia. “It makes no difference whether the lady is alone or duly accom panied bv her husband—she simply can't get any liquid refreshment. I was at one of the leading hotels inf Cumberland recently with my wife, and ordered two bottles of beer, thinking to have her consume one of them, but when I ordered the waiter* to till two glasses he politely told ino that the Keating license bill pro hibited ladies from being served with drinks of that character.”— Baltimore American. HAS HAIR LIKE ANIMAL. There was recently exhibited at a meeting of the Vienna Medical so ciety a man who possesses a peculiar leonine appearance, lie is a young Russian, said to be 17 years old, covered over the whole body with long, soft yellow hair, except on the head, where the natural hair is present. Lionel, as the youth is styled, has only two teeth, corre sponding to incisors, in the lower alveolus. Cases of this kind arc said to be rare. One of the oldest is the family described and painted in lbs:1, by Plater, consisting of father, mother, two boys and one girl, all of whom were covered with an ample cloak of hair. WHY, SURE, THAT IS EASY. _ # > Sherlock Holmes in his palmy days was a mere trifler compared to the New York detective who was sent to see M rs. Merz, who occupies a handsome home ,at 128 West Ninety-third street. She had been robbed of tier handbag on the street by a highwayman. “Did they get your house key?” asked the detective. “Yes,” said Mrs. Merz. “And your calling cards with your address on them?” “Yes.” “Well, they probably will be around in a few days to rob the house,” said the sleuth as he made his departure. A CHEERFUL OPTIMIST. Flossie—It is very dangerous not to have railings round these high cliffs. Don't lots of people fall over and get lost? Salt—Some do, but they don’t get lost. The tide washes ’em up and they always fetch five dollars cold, on the slates, if they ain't identified. AN EXCEPTION NOTED. “And what are you going to be, my little man ?” “I’m going to grow up like papa.” “That’s right. You want to be just like your papa, don’t you?” “Yes ma’am.

Don't blindly suppress it with a stupefying poison. It's strange how some things finally come about.

And now—a liltle lute though—Congress say9 "Put It on the label, if poisons are in your Cough Mixture." Good I Very good!! Hereafter fnrthis very reason mothers, and others, should insist on having Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure. No poison marks on Dr. Shoop’s labels—and none in the medicine, else it must by law be on the label. And it’s not only safe, but it is said to be by those that know it best, a truly re markable cough remedy. Tjtke no chance then, particularly with yourchildren.
