Against Parcels Post.

Congressman Tawney, of the first
Minnesota district, one. of the recOg-
nized leaders in congress and prede-
stined to take first place among the
leaders, takes strong ground against
the parcel post ''The people general
ly," he says and especially those in the
rural districts, have for long time
opposed the Capitalization of business
and commerce in the form ofgreat cor
poratiOns and trusts. The enactment
of the parcels post would, in my Judge
ment, promote this centraliZ alton to a
greater extent than any legislation
congress has ever enacted. 1t would
enable the large department stores,
controlled by the corporations, to
practically destroy the business Of the
small merchants outside of the great
metropolitan cities, and the people
would be paying for it by the govern
ment's taking from the taxes collected
the amount necessary to make up the
difference between the postage paid
and the actual cast of carrying through
the mails packages of those greatstores
and commercial houses.
SIN some of the smaller countries of
Europe the parcels post has worked
tisfactory, but it is only in the
smaller countries that it has been
adopted or can prove a success. In
our country itwould increased the deficit
n our postal receipts enormously,
which deficit would have to be made up
by taxes. This, together with the fact
that it would drive out of business the
! retail merchants and many of the
middle men, is one of the reasons why
I have not been in favor of this legis-
lation. I know that Ithe department
stores and commercial houses are in
ducing the farmers to write to their
congressman and urge them to support
UGH measure without giving them full
information as to the effect of such
legislation.

There is a story out to the effect that
one of the promoters of the New Ulm
Rural Telephone lines, had occasion
to go into the country to the north for
the purpose of interesting some of the
farmers in that neighborhood in the
line and it is strongly limited that for
the purpose of entertaining the pro-
spective patrons of the route several
cases of beer and magic lantern were
part of the outfit How these things
enter into a business proposition is
something to be explained. but there
are people who still believe that the
way to do business is the same today
as it was when the government bought
land from the Indians with a few beads
and bottle of whiskey.
Both the editor of the News and OF
the Journal have been in the newspaper
business long enough to know that
there are none of the editors of the
state with their small Offices who are
so caloused to all that is right and
manlike as to be placed in a position
where any man or set of men could
dictate to them what they should say
or what they should not say in their
papers. A man in that position would
get out of it, and all this talk of owner
ship of editors by any person or fac
ton is all nonsense, and they both
know it, but it sounds we'll and that is
all that is necessary. Mr.. Hoidale
did not even suggest or intimate that
any reply should be made to the arti-
Giles of the other papers, and as to the
editor of the Review being ''ordered"
to do anything when the time comes
that such a state of affairs exist the
editor will either be working on a
salary or will quit the business.

WHEAT

Weather conditions this fall have been ideal SO
far for shock threshing and movement of Wheat
to market. The occasional showers which have
been experienced have helped rather than hurt
the Wheat ITSELF as in each case they were followed
by clear, sunny weather. Country elevators all
over the Northwest are jammed full OF nav Wheat,
and the volume of the crop is causing real embar.
rassment in many sections.
Farmers are building cribs for temporary ac-
commodation Of their grain in several i'm portant
districts, and instances pointed out where the
new Wheat is allowed to remain on the ground
just as it comes from the thresher because OF the
impossibility of handling it with present equip
ment. Providentially, the weather has been
beautifully clear and no damage has resulted
from this action. The shock threshing has been
generally completed.
While the country elevators are taxed to their
capacity, the big grain storage houses at market
centers are still able to handle all the grain the
railroads can haul, but the roads are all swamped
with the food OF grain, and miles of cars now
loaded and ready are waiting power to pull them
to market. We think, that before all this grain
is moved, prices viii decline enough to make free
purchases profitable.

clever when the whole truth is known.
The capital stock of the New Ulm
Rural Telephone Co. has been in
creased from $50, 1000 to 500, 600 and
the company is now entitled to incur
an indebtedness of $4,000, five times
as much as under the Incorporation at
the start. The company is putting in
an excellent system but it is costing
money and will continue to cost money
for some years.

but that the present governor has done
his full duty ia fearless manner.
Gov. La Toilette is gaining in no.
toriety and is being talked OF as a
logical candidate for the office of presi-
dent to succeed Roosevelt. There is
not another man before the eyes of the
people of the United States today who
is more fit to follow the lead that the
president has set, than the governor
of Wisconsin, and it will be surprising
if he is not we'll to the front in the
nominations that the republican party

ranted II is TO be hoped that it may
not become necessary at any time. II is
not clear that, solely upon an assump-
ton that the case will be decided against
them. the asphalt people are justified
in demanding official Intervention. Nor
does it appear that there would be
ground for immediate action even in the
event OF an adverse decision, There is
possibility that even a Venezuelan
court might reach an entirely correct
conclusion. and no Intervention would
be properly warranted until the case
and the verdict had been carefully re-
viewed.
II is unfortunate that the negotiations
should be conducted by-men whose per-
sonal relations are the reverse OF amic-
able. Friction and misunderstanding
may easily arise out OF the situation, The
Fundamental question is simple II is
whether the asphalt comp ny has or has
not forfeited its legal rights under the
concessions acquired from the Vene-

opinion now expressed
Tho advantages OF sea level canal are
so manifest. and public confidence is so
unbounded IN the ability Of the Govern

position in Congress to insist upon the
AT andonment of the lock system from
the very start and dig deep, regardless
of expense and common sense. 1t would
be a misfortune if srreadeagedom and
haste in this respect should force the
hands oil those in authority who want
