HOW WOMEN MAY RETAIN MEMS RESPECT
BY Carmen Sylvia, Queen of RounIania

Women should never forget that they stand
on superior level, and when they place
themselves on an equality with man they do
but descend from those heights. 1t is the
natural instinct of man to venerate woman
first In the person of the mother who bore
him. next In that Of his wife, then again of
his daughter, or 1t may be Of the sister or
sisterly friend who watches over his children.

Commenting on the sweeping anti.
liquor sentiment in the south the
Washington Herald of recent date
says: In dts astounding growth of
prohibition sentiment the south is n
harmony with the most progressive
thought of the age which has come
to recognize that there is no money
which flows into the Golfers of the
state so expensive as that which
GENES from liquor licenses"
This is also set forth in recent ed
itorial in the New York Tribune which
says: THE new prohibitive law of
Georgia is a protest not only against
the vice of intoNication, but also
against the economic crime of ST. =

sitions until doomsday to no purpose

is the great unnecessary evil that does

1t is not necessary here to comment
on the influences of liquor upon the
productive capacity of the country at
large, nor upon its promotion of crime.
The history of whiskey for centuries
admits of no argument in its favor.
There is one phase of the subject,
however, which not few people over
look because it bears directly upon
the body polite more than upon the
individual. 1t is the political side of
liquor.

weight limit with reduction of the
rates of postage But while the public
wants a parcels-post system, the ex-
press companies are opposed to 1t,
and their influence in congress has
BEEN sufficiently potent to defeat the
movement which both Postmasters
General Wanamaker and Cortelyou
undertook to promote for the public
welfare and convenience.
Mr. Meyer, who is the present head
of the postoffice department, has not
been discouraged by the experience OF
his predecessors in Office, but recently
announced his plans for the institution
of a parcels-poSt service. At the pres
ent time four pounds is the mail limit
of weight in this country, and Post
master General Meyer suggests an in
crease to or 10 pounds as a moderate
step toward the end desired. In Great
Britain the limit of mail weight is IL
pounds, being held down to that fig
ure by the railroad influence in par
Lament. The French mails, however,
carry parcels weighing as much as %
pounds, packages to that weight being
transported from all points in the en-
pire to Austria and Switzerland.
The mail rates in Europe for this
service are much lower than in this
country A four-pound package sent
through the United States mails calls
for postage amounting to "a cents,
but package of TIE same weight can
be sent from England to Shanghai
by way of Egypt for As cents, while
to any point within the United King
dom packages are TRANSPORTED at rates
from 1 IL cents for 1 pound to 25
cents for IL pounds.
It is customary in England, France,
Germany, switzerland and other coun-
tries of Europe for tourists to send
and receive by parcels post his laun-
dry and other things, such as pur-
chases of goods. But in spite of the
fact that the United States is the
greatest and richest country in the
world it deprives the public of the
benefits of a parcels post service in
order that private monopolies may
charge excessive rates for, the trans
portation of small packages. There
fore we wis success to Postmaster
General Meyers efforts to give the
American people something they have
desired and needed
The truth of the matter is, the
American people are becoming tired of
permitting the express companies to
monopolize the parcels business of
the country, and they are becoming
more tired still of the influence
which these same express companies
are exerting in the control of national
legislation. The parcels-post is a reas-
enable, sensible, necessary adjunct to
the posteffice department and it
should be adopted.

The Milton Index and the Santa

newspapers published in the town OF

persuasions met in fierce combat in

that there is not enough of it, Most of
