The question of the introduction into
our mail service of parcels post, by
which large packages may be sent Tor a
small sum, seems likely to make its ap-
pearance in Congress next winter.
Tha, our people haye SO long tolera-
ted mail service which in this respect
is 80 inferior to that of other countries
is quite lncomprehensible. Germany
can send eleyen pounds from Berlin to
any part Of the United States while an
American must pay twice the sum for
sending only half as much. Is it pos
sible that such a difference is to be
borne by our people? The Postmaster
General is alleged to be opposed to the
reform, but is the fact that four Ex-
press companies haye a monopoly OF
carrying packages to be allowed to per
ma,ently defeat the interests OF the
people? Let Congress answer!

Partisan rancor and ferocity are like
" to be little in evidence during the
campaign that is now beginning. The
republicans take the stump in depre-
eating mood and the democrats have
postponed the Inauguration of their
campaign until October. Is not this
AIN unconscious response to the certain
ty that voters think for themselves
more than ever before. and that they
get their data for their conclusions
from the press rather than from the

The postponement of Judge Parker,s
letter of acceptance till September H.
a week after the issue of Mr.. Roose-
velt's, causes something more than a
tlutter Of political gossip in Washing
ton, for it suggests purpose on the
part of the democratic candidate to cla'
rify his position on some important
questions. His views concerning trusts
and their mother, the tariff, are clear
enough and satisfactory to his party.
His treatment Of our status in the Phil.
