in the Far East.

DIR. A. l.. Parker Of Concord ~ H.. is
passing a few days in this city with
his father. George Parker. DR.. Parker
has recently returned from a 20 months
trip abroad in which he visited many
places in the far East. unfrequented by

of the trip was taken up by minor ex-
cursions in Japan. China and the Phil
ippines. When the Journal scribe called
upon DR.. Parker he was found to be
suffering from an attack of hay fever.
a fact which would have rendered the
entertainment of newspaper man
somewhat obnoxious to most people.
yet he was ready to allow the scribe
to draw upon his large stock of infor
nation for an hour or So Mr.. ParkerS
trip was of such Il nature as to give
him opportunities To observe. much SUI
perior to those enjoyed by the average
person. His critical turn of mind was
also of much value To him in forming
opinions. His trip covered period Of

in this city a few days and later Will

where he will remain a short time and
he will then return to his home in CON
cord.
AS To the Philippines. DIR. Parker is
something of a pessimist and does not
believe that the resources of the islands
make il likely that this country will re
ceive a suitable financial return for the
money invested there. He said 10 the
Journal representative: II think That
on the whole the commissioners are do
ing a great deal of good work there.
They are giving the natives taste al

that the Filipinos are intelligent
enough to appreciate it. In the long

A CALL FOR GOOD ROADS.
The Postoiiice Department Requests Post Roads
10 Be Put in Better Condition.

The general superintendent of the
free delivery system, Hon. A. W.
Machcn. has sent out to a large num-
circular letter in which he desires
attention called to poor roads The
body of the letter is as follows:
Answers, in the report recently sent
You from this office show that the
roads travelled by your rural carriers
are in bad condition. You will please
notify the patrons of rural routes that
the lack of care given to the roads Gov
cred by them WILL if contin-
ued, endanger the permanency of
the service there. A rural car
Tier cannot possibly make regu-
lar time or perform efficient ser
vice over bad roads. particularly dur
ing the winter and spring. Now is the
the hope Of the department that the
patrons living on the route will Co
operate in an effort to maintain good
loads. This can be accomplished by re-
pairing defective parts before winter
weather sets in, SO that the continu-
anCe of the rural free delivery service
may be insured. Respectfully. a. w.
Machen. general superintendent
The Journal takes pleasure in giving
this letter as extensive a circulation as
possible. II is hoped that this article
Will he copied by other papers. as the
rural service is of 50 much importance
that there should be no hesitation in
its patrons cooperating to give better
reads for the service.
