TMES PRNT-SHOP FND3 T- SELF For many years there was pulh llshed n New York a -record book for Job prntng and another for advertsng, datng back to the tme when effcency systems were, frst talked of, and bookkeepng was begnnng to be a supposed scenco. The old Gazette used these books for many years, and when The Gazette force began to> drft nto The Tmes offce the old smple system was put n operaton. By these books, t was an easy matter to trace the date of a ong-forgotten advertsement, or «Job of prntllg whch mlgtot have been done sevpral years before. Last Autumn when The Tmes began\ lookng for copes for 925, there.were none to be had, the 6)d dealer merely.statng that the publsher had qut ssung them. Whch would have meant the adopton of 'some new methods unless some other blank book maker could ssue them. The books had cost about $4 each,- and the best a blank book maker would do them for n dozen lots was $8.50 each. Then The Tmes job plant spoke up. The books were made n there, better ones than evre we bad, better bound, better paper, and" a regular job at but very lttle more than the orgnal maker charged for them.

Letter mal, proper, remans at ts old fgure, though why the rate was not rased to three cents an ounce whch would have made some of the other changes unnecessary, s not as clear as t mght be; t does not sgnfy now. For that matter the general publc s not requred to study the varous changes made n the second class matter though publshers of news papers and perodcals are keenly nterested. When we get to thrd class matter we fnd changes enough. The class ncludes, as usual, books, crculars and other prnted matter, proof sheets, corrected proofs and merchandse, varous and mscellaneous.

VOTE WAS 63 TO 4 Watt Amendment Extended to sland Amercan ResdenU Are Assured the "Most Favored Naton Rght*" Amendments Defeated. Washngton. The Senate, by vote of 63 to 4, ratfed the sle of Pnes treaty whch vests the ownershp of the sland n the Republc of Cuba. Ths acton ends a controversy datng from the end of the Spansh War. The treaty has been pendng before the Senate snce March 3, 904. when was submtted by Presdent Roosevelt.. Ratfcaton was desred by th Coolldge admnstraton, n part to promote frendly relatons wth Cuba and n part to promote good relatons wth Latn Amerca. The Senate ad ed n the face of efforts of the oppos tlon to prevent a vote at ths sessto and despte strong protests from the Amercans lvng on the sle of Pnes and ownng property there, who fear ther rghts wll not be respected by the Cuban government. A two-thrds vote was needed to ratfy the treaty and there was not only the needed number but many votes to spare. The Senate, however, adopted a reservaton proposed by Senator Borah ntended to make the provsons of the Platt amendment apply to the sle of Pnes as well as Cuba, and another reservaton by Senator Reed, of Mssour, ntended to. assure for Am ercans on the sle of Pnes rghts accorded foregners who recawe the most favored naton treatment n Cuba. Senators who voted aganst ratfcaton were Borah, Brookha.t, Cummns, Fernald, Frazer. Wlls. Republcans; Ashurst, Blease, Copeland, Dll, Heflln, McKellar, Reed, of Mssour, Democrats, and Shlpstead, Farmer-Labor. The treaty, whch was sgned March 2, 904, by John Hay, Secre-. tary of State, and Gonzalo de Quesada, then Cuban Mnster, provdes that the Unted States relnqush all ttle or clam to the sland n favor of Cuba n consderaton of grants of coalng and naval statons n Cuba already made. The treaty also stpulated that "ctzens of the Unted States of Amerca who/ at the tme of the exchange of the ratfcatons of ths treaty, shall be resdng or holdng. property n the sle of Pnes shall suffer no dmnuton of the rghts and prvleges whch they have acqured pror to the date of exchange of ratfcatons of ths treaty; they may reman there or remove therefrom, retanng n ether event all ther rghts of prorty, ncludng the rght to sell or dspose of such property or of ts proceeds; and they shall also have the rght to carry on ther ndustry, commerce and professon, beng subject n respect thereof to such laws as are applcable to other foregners."

Geneva. Great Brtan not only crushed the League of Natons arbtraton, socurty and dsarmament protocol nto, a shapeless mass that defes resurrecton, but cast the most serous doubt on tbe effcacy or the letgue covenant as an agency for world ptace. Austen Chambelan, Brtsh Foregn Secretary, speakng at the Councl sessons n a dspassonate monotone, read what s possbly the most astoundng document ever heard n the precncts of any league body. t was a comparatvely bref statement, brandng the protocol as an lnstrumen. of war, rather than peace, and a combnaton whch stands rejected not only by the Baldwn mnstry.' but as well by "the governments of the Domnon of Canada, the commonwealth of Australa and New Zealand, the Unon of South Afrca and nda." Mr. Chamberlan added roncally, " am not yet n possesson of me vews of the rsh Free State." The Brtsh statement whch Mr. Chamberlan delvered, not as bs own, but as the collectve opnon of the Baldwn mnstry, and whch dsclosed the. clever co-authorshp of Lord Balfour by ts ponted phraseology, lacked nothng n drectness and proved a far stronger document than mght have been expected. Great Brtan's alternatve for the protocol was outlned n the Cham- ed n a resoluton of ratfcaton whch jj erlaln glatemenl by a s ns e parahe proposed as a substtute for the graph as a system of regonal defeusve pacts between tbe natons most orgnal resoluton of ratfcaton.

The Goulds dsappeared from the ralroad map when the controllng nterest was sold by Edwn Gould n the last fragment of the vast transcontnental ralroad system whch had been planned by hs father. The ralroadng career of the Goulds began n 857 when Jay Gould bought the bonds of the Rutland and Washngton Ralroad. t reached ts merdan n the frst decade of ths century, when. Wth the buldng of the Western Pacfc, the Gould system had crossed the contnent and was engaged n a ferce duel wth the gant system domnated by B. H. Harrman. The costs of that destructve ralroad war. the panc of 907. adverse ralroad legslaton, mstakes of Judgment, famly strfe and ltgaton caused the dsntegraton of the Gould nterests. The fnal dsappearance of the famly from the ralroad world took place when Edwn Gould announced that the St Lous Southwestern Ralroad Company, famlarly known as the Cotton Belt, had paased nto control of the Rock sland. The hers of the $84,000,000 Jay Gould estate are stll large owners of ralroad securtes, but they do not domnate one mle of road.

Presdent Coolldge ted up by relentless famly warfare defed the Senate and gnored the n the courts, the Gould nterests, advce of the Republcan leaders who though stll vast, are no longer capable of beng moblsed to- a fght. The Cotton Belt was the last stand of the Goulds on the ralroad map. Durng the last ffteen years they had been strpped, one part after another, of the great system whch once stretched lke a web over a large part of the Unted States. Although valued at $60,000,000 or upward, the securtes owned by the Goul's are no longer of mportance n ralroad actvtes. The "Gould vote" s nothng at a ralroad meetng today. There were no ceremones at the passng of the fnal Gould road from the domnaton of that vast fortune and nto the hands of Wall Street bankers. There were merely cut and dred statements by the drectors of the Rock sland that such control had been acqured and by Edwn Gould, who for thrty years has drected the destnes of the Cotton Belt, that such a merger was "logcal." Back of these formal announcements, however, have been some very consderable stock called on hm when, after a breakfast conference wth Charles B.

Through the unque opportuntes that t possesses as a government nsttuton under the control of the Navy department t s possble for the Unted States Naval observatory to advance the cause of astronomcal scence n some ways that are not wthn the reach of prvate nsttutons. Ths was evdenced n the sendng forth of specal tme sgnals for the convenence of eclpse observers on the occason of the last eclpse and to the observaton of the eclpse from the navy drgble, Los Angeles, by a group of scentsts from the observatory under the lead of Capt Edwn T. Pollock, superntendent of the Naval observatory..... An Augury for Success. The nterest shown by the present superntendent n promotng eclpse observatons speaks well for the success of the eclpse expedton that wul be sent forth from our natonal observatory before the year la over, the sxth snce the year 900. t s also n keepng wth the tradtons ot the navy. Muny astronomers of today recall the enthusastc nterest n the cause of astronomcal research evdenced by Hear Admral Colby M. Chester; superntendent of the Naval observatory n 905, who.headed an expedton sent out by ths observatory to Afrca and Span to observe the eclpse of August 30, 005, when a specal lne squadron ot three vessels was detaled by the Navy department for the observaton of the eclpse and a specal appropraton of S5.000 wus granted Dy congress. An nterestng report of the results of the observaton of ths eclpse, by the way, and of the eclpse of June 8. 98, an well as notes of avators on the eclpse of September 0, 923, are contaned n tbe "Publcatons of the U.

An earler volume of the "Publcatons of the U. S. Naval Observatory," publshed n 900. dealt wth results of the observatons of the eclpses of May 28, 900, and May 7, 90, the former n North Carolna and Georga and the latter n Sumatra. Both volumes are valuable contrbutons to the publshed records of eclpse toaa.
