The Grief Habit
OB, seighber sad hearted, with dolorous tongue, you probably started com
plaining when young; you learned how to grumble at grandmother's
knees, and not how to bumble and buzz like the bees! The habit grew
stronger as years made their race, and longer and longer you pulled out your face;
and loader and louder you voiced your soul pains, till people said, "Chowder the
man has for brains." For grief is a habit like clucking with fowls, like fear to a
rabbit, like hooting to owls. When once you have got it, there's nothing will
please; your spirit, dod rot it, is never at ease; you roar when it's raining, when
heavens are Use; complaining, complaining, is all you can do. So, parents and
grannies, keep tab on the kids, the Neds and the Nannies, the Susies and Sids, and
when they're repining and freeful and cross, say, "There'll be no whining while I
am the boss!" Jnst nse and command them to come from their perch, up-end
them and hand them ten cents worth of birch.

Newspaper Independence and Influence
FROM the New York World we quote the following interesting comment
brought out by the sale and discontinuance of the San Francisco
Call:
"Anasuncement that the San Francisco Call after more than 50
years of life has been sold to a rival paper, and that publication will
cease with the current month, is another illustration of the peculiar
demands a newspaper makes upon its proprietors.
"ANY OTHER KIND OF BUSINESS CAN BE CARRIED ON SUC
CESSFULLY IN CONNECTION WITH DIFFERING LINES, BUT
JOURNALISM THRIVES ONLY WHEN MAINTAINED IN ABSOLUTE
INDEPENDENCE.
"John D. Spreckels, recent owner of the Call, is a millionaire of
eminent business ability. In many lines of endeavor his efforts have
achieved distinguished success. In the case of the Call only has he failed
in any large enterprise to turn his energies into profit.
"He does not stand alone in this respect. His experience has but
repeated that of many another millionaire desirous of controlling a
metropolitan newspaper and directing the power it exercises.
"All such efforts have failed even when made by business men of
sech financial ability as Jay Gould and Mark Hanna "
Of the El Paso Herald more than 90 percent of the stock is owned by the men
who actively edit and manage it, and who have made it their life business. For
this reason, the absolute independence of the El Paso Herald is insured, to its
readers.
Smashing Another Precedent
PRESIDENT WILSON, may not be prompt in his decisions as to Mexican and
Panama affairs, but he is painfully abrupt in his social decisions in Wash
ington ana-has given democracy a new turn and society several turns. His
last upheaving decision is that there will be no New Year's reception at the white
house.
It has been an unbroken custom of all presidents to hold the New Year's
reception. Diplomats, in full court costume, a splendid throng, soldiers, navjf
officers, justices of the supreme court, war veterans and military organizations
called on the president, and afterwards anybody could go and the waiting line
often stretched many blocks.
The streets were filled with men in gala dress, and after calling at the white
house, officers and diplomats m scarlet and gold and feathered Jiats, made the
rounds calling on their friends, and the plain citizen also in frock coat, gray
trousers and silk hat, made the rounds.
From noon until midnight Washington has always been very lively and gay
on New Year's day. New York, who keeps turning the fashions over as she keeps
turning money over and cannot abide the old or established, gave up New Year's
calls years ago, and seeffed at Washington fox being so old fashioned; but so
long as the president kept open house, Washington kept up the friendly old custom
and is now much surprised and pained at Wilson so peremptorily breaking it down.
It is hard on the president to have to bow and smile at the throngs, but it is
very nice for the multitude to have the one time when they can go to tho
president's house and say howdoyoudo to him and receive a piece of a bland
smile and greeting.
For City Betterment
M
ASSACHUSETTS has held a city
was productive of a lot of good talk that El Paso could think over profit
ably. '
Get after the homesick people, said one man. Have civic centers in all the
school houses, send good public speakers to make short addresses on pertinent
civic topics or civic ideals, encourage people to come and to ask questions and
criticise and express their own ideas.
Encourage building loan associations and cooperative banks.
Make it possible for every man to buy a house for himself at from $2000 to
$2500 on long terms, and easy payments.
Have the houses with a big living room big enough for a family plus hospi
tality. Have a yard for the children and good wife to get the air without getting
out ef touch-with the baking or washing or the necessary cares.
Have a garden for father to work off his bad tempers and his wounded vani
ties and all his grouches in. There never was anything better for the mind than
digging in a garden.
Have playgrounds everywhere for children, real playgrounds accessible to
every neighborhood.
Facilitate business by opening streets, clearing sidewalks, and keeping the
curbs free ef standing vehicles.
Naming the Franklin Peaks
BETTER get in the game of naming the peaks of Franklin. Just think what
a pleasant thing it would be, if you should win the first place, to have it
to remember always that you actually named the peaks. It would be a
unique distinction in your life, almost as satisfying to your pride as if the peaks
were named after yourself.
The choice of a suitable list of names will be left to the whole body of school
children, to vote upon after the various lists have been submitted. The prizes will
be awarded upon the verdict of the school boys and girls; after the three lists
most favored have been thus determined, a committee of judges will carefully
examine the selected lists to see if they can be improved by a change here and
there. Then the final list will be announced, and the -school boys and girls will be
invited to write essays upon it, competing for another series of prizes.
You will get more enthusiastic about naming the peaks if you once try ta
climb them. They all look rather jumbled together from the city, but when you
get on top they look very far apart and hard to climb. Go up next Saturday and
get acquainted with your mountains.

A SLAVE is a person who has to do
what his master bids him, and can
not take the case to the supreme
court.
Slaves were once very plentiful in this
bad world, and literature is filled with
their suiferings and oppressions. It is
carelessly believed by most people that
the slaves were freed long ago and that
mankind is now in a state of universal
riotous freedom. Xothmg could be farther
from the truth. There are more slaves
than ever, and their sufferings have been
greatly enlarged in scope and variety.
Millions of men rise every morning
with the firm resolve to issue an eman
cipation proclamation declaring them
selves free forever from thirst. But by
noon they can be found with one foot on
the bar, sowing wild oats and reaping
headaches without pay, in the same 6hl
style.
Millions of men have smoked their last
cigar 'with heroic resolve and have sworn
to buy homes with the money to be
saved. Those who have never seen a
cowed and humble citizen hunting for
the cigar box which he tossed out of the
window the night before have missed

LIERARY READING.
Editor El Paso Herald:
I doubt hether the one public
library of this city is to be compared,
in regard to attendance, to a single
motion picture house, and there are
here a dozen, more or less, such houses.
To get to the point, when a very late
and excellent book, such as "Bobbie,
General Manager," by Olive Higgins
Prouty. remains in the corner of a
very prominent shelf of the library for
several successive days, it Is time that
library readers, as v ell as "movie fans,"
should wake up and take notice. Copies
may be found on both the duplicate
and seven day shelves. The book will
interest young and old. and is worth a
dozen everyday motion picture amuse
ments. What is more, there should be a
good many wore Just such general
managers, both In real (reel) life-as
well as fiction.

English Postage Cheaper
Brlttons Pay Less For 'Letters and
Fixed Charge of 1 Cent Each
on Newspapers.
ny Frederic J. Haskin
WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 3. It
has been generally conceded
heretofore that European mail
systems have had certain advan
tages over the American system, in that
they provided certain functions for the
promotion of intercourse among the
people that were omitted in the United
States. Latterly, nowever, these cri
ticisms to the advantage of the Ameri
can postal service have been largely
overcome, and if present plans are car
ried out, our system will be as ef
ficacious as that of any country in the
world.
The English mail system is easily th?
most interesting of all foreign mail
svstems from the American point of
view, since it is the mail system of a
people of kindred tongue and kindred
ancestry. The first thing that impresses
the stndent of that system is the
low letter rate. Where we pay 3
cents a pound for handling our letters
In the United States, at thtt lowest, and
perhaps 50 cents a pound at the high
est, since the fraction of an ounce
counts as an ounce, the user of the
mails in England may mail heavy let
ters for the same amount that we mail
light ones. Two cents for four ounces
and one cent for each additional tw
ounces is the rate that the Britisher
pays on his letters. In other words,
a letter that would cost eight cents to
in the United States costs two
s in England.
-Advantages and Disadvantages
0f course, on the bulk of the mall
that goes through the British postal
service, in letter form, the charge is
approximately the same as in the
United States, since the average letter
weighs under an ounce, and therefore
takes the two -cent rate; but when we
come down to the business house which
wants to send some printed matter
along vith the letter itself, the ad
vantage is greatelv In favor of the
British postal service
The newspaper rate in England
also is interesting. The charge is one
cent for each newspaper, no matter
what Its size or weight, and if they
are nundled together it is still the
same rate, -with the exception that
where a bundle in this way would take
a higher rate than if the package were
sent through is ordinary printed mat
ter the latter rate may be applied.
Provides for Phone Artvlceu-
Another interesting provision of the
British postal service is the railwav
letter service. Suppose you are in
London and you want to get a letter
to a man in Southampton in quick
order. You may go down to the rail
way station, buy a four cent stamp,
pnt it on your letter in addition to the
regular postage, and turn it over to
the first railroad. It has to carry that
letter to Southampton by the first
train and there mail it to the
addressee. Or. with an additional pre
paid fee it will telephone the addres
see that it has the letter at the rail
road station for him.
This telephoning businesss may be
carried further than this. If you wish
to send a letter through the ordinary
mail you mav prepay the cost and
when "the letter arrives at the post
office to which it is addressed, tfc.e
postmaster will promptly telephone the
addressee mat it is mere suDjecc io
his call.
Pennltv for on Payment.
It very often happens in every coun
try that mail is sometimes dispatched
without the prepajment of postage,
mostiv by accident, and that It some
times is underpaid. In our country we
hold that kind of mail, except in a few
cases, and notify the addressee that it
is held at the office of mailing until
he forwards the necessarj postage. In
England the mail is forwarded as
promptl as any other mail, and douoie
postage Is collected in the case of un
paid postage, and double the deficiency
in the case of a deficient prepayment.
The ha'penny post is a feature of
the British service. If a person wants
to mail a manuscript, for instance, or
any other piece of writing that is not
In the ncture of a letter, he gets a rate
of one cent for two ounces If an
American writer sends a manuscript
weighing four ounces through the mall,
he must pav two cetts.
The English system has but one kind
of stamps, and thev are the same aa
are used in collecting the revenues, the
problem of accounting simply being re
versed to meet the conditions It also
ooerates the telegrauh and the tele
phone business, and runs a parcel po't
service as outlined in another article
in this series.
