FOR PEOPLES GUIDANCE.
Changes in the Postal Regulations.
The November Guide.

Postoffice officials have received the
November postal guide from the depart
ment headquarters at Washington. In
this new book several new routes of i'm
portance are to be noted. Among these
are the new regulations in regard to the
exchange of parcels between the United
States and Germany, and at the APP
proach of the holiday season citizens
will read with interest the new rules.
This change on what is known as
the parcel post of Germany will only
effect the shipment of packages from the
United States or Germany or of the
shipment of packages from Germany to
the United States. One rule deals with
the maximum value of these packages
and the other deals with the return of
uncalled for packages. y"
The one rule is as follows:
The postal administration of Germany
having concurred therein, the following
rules go into effect: That on and after
Oct Is, 1904, the maximum value of a
package admissible to the parcel post
mail exchange between the United
States and Germany is $50.
The value before has been unlimited
but now the governments have agreed
that packages with value of over $50
will not be allowed to be sent by the
parcel post system. This system of
small package mail in Germany is differ.
ent than in this country. In that coun-
try the government does the business
that in this country is handled by the
express companies.
The United States government how
ever handles packages, but the charge is
higher. The parcels post mail from Ger.
many to this country is handled by the
government, but from England it is
handled by the American Express com,
pany.
The other rule was in regard to re.
turning all unclaimed packages. Before
in case of package from this country
not being called for in Germany, the
package was returned to the United
States and this government attended to
the finding of the person who sent it OF
1T was sent to the dead letter office.
Now in case package from this
country is not called for in Germany the
package will be disposed of by the Ger.
man government according to their own
rules and regulations concerning such
things. This will save much trouble in
sending it back and forth. This rule
also took effect Oct. 5th. Both regula.
tions were signed by R. Y. Wynne, act.
ing postmaster general.

Governor Herried of South Dakota
has been for more than year running
down the source of a report which cred
tied him with an Endorsement of the
principles of the initiative and refer
endum. He has been criticized in some
of the papers of the state on account
of it. He has finally located the source
in an article in the Forum, which was
from Governor White of North Dakota,
but which was credited to the governor
of South Dakota. Governor Herried is
not believer in the doctrines of that
policy, and has been persistently prob
ing for the source of the alleged in
dorsement by himself until he finally To-
Gated it.
