PRIVATE OWNERSHIP.

w. d. Boyce, of Chicago, has
made a proposition to conduct the
United States postal service as q
| private corporation. He proposes
to the Postal Commission that he
and associates, with capital of
$4,000, 900, will take the entire
postal service out of the hands of
the Government and give the peo-
pie the same or better service at
half the rate of postage now pre-
vailing penny postage for letters
and one half cent pound for
newspapers. He proposes to oper-
ate under full Government regu.
lation and to pay rental for Gov
eminent buildings and quarters
and to pay the Government the
profit on all above Z per cent. of
capital. The proposition outlines
at great length what a great bene
factor this corporation will be.
In the first place we believe that
the man who proposes to do all
this is a monumental fake. Why
should any man or corporation
undertake such a responsibility,
with all the risk and temptation
to embezzlers, and the untold ram
ifications of intricate problems
without the privilege of enjoying
the gain in dividends over an d
above a small per cent. What in
ducement or incentive is there in
it for a m an of reputation and

RATES OF POSTAGE.

Grafton the increase of rates on

by the large advertisers, conspicu-
onsly the mail order houses, to

great blow to the Legitimate news.
papers and periodicals should they
succeed. If the Commission has in
view the raising of the second. class
rate in order to admit the catalog
houses then it is damnable In its
consequences. If, however, it is
intended to weed out wild cat"
publications then we do not urge
that it is altogether without some
benefit. 1t would thereby reduce
the leverage which the large news.
paper publisher has in competi-
ton over the smaller, or the large
daily over the weekly. 1t would
also tend to destroy the graft
which the free circulation paper
has in disseminating its advertis-
ing matter. OF course the Gov
ernment regulations do not admit
free-list paper at second class
rates, but In many instances the
laws are violated for the reason
that they are not sufficiently ex-
plicit or otherwise not properly
enforced. Whatever occurs we
do not want to see the mail order
houses take the country"

HOW WE GET FREE DELIVERY.

That we are indebted to Con

city mail delivery is plainly evil

fishing the service in Union City.
The order came Immediately after
Postmaster Taylor bad written Mr..
Brownlow in Washington. and is
the direct result, we understand,
of a conference between Mr..
Br W low and the Postmaster
General. This may cause some of
our Democratic friends to realize

Congress and his election by such
popular maiorities. Mr.. Brown
low has nice Government build

district. He it is who has secured
nearly or practically all the appro

eminent for public improvements
in Tennessee. And SO it is that
through his influence Union City
gets free delivery and so it will be
if we get government building.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.

The meeting of the Good Roads
Convention to be held at the court
house next Monday should be
largely attended. The meeting
opens at 8 o'clock with a program,
bearing the names of such speak
ers as John White, w. p. Morris,
FL. g. Davidson, j. NJ. Brice and
w. NJ. Wilson. All of these gen.
tlemen have given the subject
much study and will be prepared
to present their views in way
that no doubt will open some plans
which are practical and feasible
for good roads in Obion County.
Those gentlemen W no have not
taken much stock in the bonding
scheme for building hard roads
may find something more suitable
to their ideas at this convention.
They IN ay find some easier and
more expedient method of reach
ing the solution of road making.
In any event there should be a
large attendance at the convention
next Monday.
There will come a time when we
will be compelled to make good
roads, or else we will fall behind
our neighbors in these improve.
ments, and what is more, may lose
our share of the Governments
rural free delivery service. The
Government is no re spe cter Of
persons, nd the locality which
refuses to comply with the postal
requirements has no claim what
ever to these advantages and no
assurances of retaining them.
There is no sentiment or specula-
tion in this. 1t is a cold blooded
fact.
There is another view of the
question. Other localities are tax
ing up the question and some are
making tests and investigations.
Suppose we are behind in trans
portation advantages. Who gets
the citizen, the man who comes to
US through the immigration move

provements, but those which show
evidences of proper enterprise.

that Obion County had increased

ment, would destroy the last YES
tige of republican institutions.
But the BoYce proposition. No
1t is spurious. Don't touch it.
There are a thousand ills in its
fangs.
The tariff, the trusts, the graft
and every other political evil we
have would pale into total eclipse
compared to the rural postal ex-
press or parcels post. Yes, it is
known that the express companies
are mighty and exacting. Yet we
would rather a thousand times see
the express comp anies flourish
than all our local merchandise de-
stroyed, our towns deserted and
the farms tenanted by mongrel
race. What picture-that. What
would be the consequences. Well,
excuse us from the parcels post.
The Government has enough bust
ness on its hands now, and if there
is anything else to do it should be
the perfection of the systems al
