ADVISES BRIBERY.

The Ruralist, a farm paper OF
Sedalia, says In its last issue:
'Those greedy cOrmorants, the ex-
press companies, are seeking to defeat
the proposed parcels post bill now
pending in congress. Why? 1t would
AFFORD cheap postage on the packages
Of merchandise weighing ten pounds
or less which said companies now
charge prohibitive rates for carrying.
How does your Congressman stand on
this question? The chances are that
he is seeking reelection and now is
the time to make him toe the mark.
Farmers would be the chief bene.
Rciaries of the enactment Of the par.
cells post law"

The Supreme Court decision in the
case of the Northern Securities Com
paOy has attracted unusual attention.
Five memberSof the court concurred in
the decision and four dissented. The
majority Of the court decided that
congress had power under the consti.
tuition to regulate interstate com.
merce by whatever means we're nee.
eSsary to accomplish the end. The
minority held that the case In hand
had nothing to do with the regulation
Of interstate commerce but with the
ownership Of two competing railroad
properties.
