The Parcels Post Plan.

Postmaster General Meyer showed
himself the possessor of great prac-
teal ability when a month or .wo age
he announced a postal savings bank
project designed to accomplish the
greatest amount OF good with the
least encroachment on fields III which
hostility TO such legislation would be
aroused Now in giving details "a
his project for a parcels post law he
shows the same excellent qualities
In proposing TO raise me four
pound limit to eleven pounds and to
reduce the cost from 16 cents a pound
to IL cents he proposes to give the
people as good and cheap facilities
for sending for sending domestic
packages as they already have for
sending packages to foreign lands. Ii
is one of the anomalies of our postal
system that such service has never
before been granted.
Some opposition is sure 10 be
aroused among country merchants
who fear an extension of city mail
order business which would cut into
their profits. To equalize the effects
of the legislation Mr.. Meyer propose:
a cheaper rate on packages sem
along a single rural delivery route
a rate Of cents for the first pound
and of cents for each additional
pound. Such rate woufd be a grea
convenience to farmers dealing with
merchants in the nearest town-Rec

Co, Discovers New Sock.

Hosiery Point just off the Flat
iron building at Broadway and Tween
ty-third street, New York, has new
sensation. The corner cop, whose
duty # is to keep masculine eyes
from becoming riveted on things not
intended for them and who is sup
posed to be blind to such things him
self, has tipped off the secret.
1t is woman's sock that is a
stocking-something new which, &C
cording to the cop, who is an au-
thority, is having quite vogue. The
new stocking Is black from the hecl
to the height of the masculine sock
From there to-er, from there up
it is a flesh color except for an imi-
tation mans garter stamped on 1t
The effect is said TO be startling.
The Flatiron corner cops inter
view, printed in the morning papers
is giving him all kinds of trouble
keeping moving the scores of truth
seeking men looking for confirmation
of his statements.

Taft Will Open Assembly.

Great interest Is shown i'll the con-
vening of the first Philippine assem-
bly, at Manila, this week and the
opening address OF Secretary Taft.
Rival political factions are active and
home rule and other issues promise
to make the session lively.
The action of the assembly on
questions relating TO the political flu
ture of the Philippines is expected
to be determined largely by the opin-
ion expressed by Secretary Taft in
his address opening the session.
Americans are generally in favor OF
specific announcement on Phil
pine policy.
The course of legislation will de-
pend mainly on the result of the fight
Of the Gomez radicals for control
of the national party The national
lists. when united, exercise controll-
ing influence, but their internal di-
visions give the progressive indepen-
dents the balance of power 1t is not
likely thai party spirit will play much
part in the assembly's affairs, owing
to persona, differences within the par
ties
The indications are tina Manuel
Ouezon will be the successful can
didate for speaker He is believed to
be favorably regarded at Washing
ton, and his election gives assurance
that no resolution for the independ-
ence of the Philippines will be con-
sidered.

A CITIZEN OFF HIS BASE.

Some one signing himself "A Citi-

allies) in the Chronicle states that it
was the wish of the commissioners
that an expression of the people be
taken on the subsidy question This
is absolutely untrue rs the commits

called it had tb "a compelled

So 1t becomes y of the COM
missioners to election when
25 freeholders y township sign q
petition asking or an election
The truth of the matter is that the
booster or boosters interested in the
proposed graft circulated the petition
in Center and North townships and
by Interpretations influenced the
men to sign the petition, and while
the signers are not all together to
blame they should think twice before
signing any paper or petition. The
boosters were oily and smooth
tongued and used every means to Sc
cure the signatures of the parties.
This was done at the instigation of
the road and not by the request or
those interested in the road and not
missioners.

Mob Tries to Kill American Autoist.

Charles p. Baird, of Philadelphia
son of Mr.. Baird, of the Baldwin
Locomotive Works, was the Ameri-
can who Thursday night ran down
and killed boy, named Daipra, at
Neuilly. near Paris Mr. Baird, who
was driving OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
er six-cylinder machine at rapid
pace, maintains that the accident was
unavoidable. He had turned out OF
the road to avoid a heavy van, when
the boy suddenly stepped out from
behind wagon and was hit before
the brakes could be applied.
After the accident Mr.. Baird mar
rowly escaped death at the hands OF
an angry crowd which collected at
the scene of the accident, led by two
Englishmen. Mr.. Baird was beaten
and twice knocked down by the
crowd before he was rescued by the
police.
Through the intervention of Con-
sui General Mason and Donald Har-
per, Mr.. Baird's attorney, Mr.. Baird
was released pending the result of
the investigation of. the examining
magistrate. Mr. Baird undoubtedly
will be criminally and civilly prose
cuted. but the testimony taken was
favorable TO him, and his attorney is
confident that the criminal charge
can not be sustained. Mr. Baird and
his brother. have lived in Paris for
several years. Their mother, who ar
rived there pecently, is very i'll. She
has just leased the former residence
of Sybil Sanderson. t

Oklahoma a 'Hefty Baby State.

The territorial extent of Oklahoma
is as great as that OF Ohio and lndi-
ana combined about 10000 square
miles. The taxable property is over
$500, 100000. The prosperity OF this
new country is indicated by SIS. OO0,-
900 of bank deposits. This showing
is remarkable from the fact that saw
inEs are slow in accommodating in a
new region that demands a vast
amount of capital for its develop
ment. This prosperity, moreover, is
not based on a get-rich-quick exploi-
tarion of natural resources, such as
timber or metal mines. 1t is due al
most entirely to solid agricultural
and industrial development. The
state has 5000 miles OF railroads,
tapping vast deposits, yet undevelop-
ed, of coal. lead. zinc, granite and
oil Its coal lands are already pro-
ducing 100000 tons a year. One
million four hundred thousand acres
of land have been set aside for school
purposes, valued now at 1000, 900,
and the federal government has added
to this $4,000 900 to provide for the
Indian schools.
The moral tone of Oklahoma is
shown by its prohibition of the liquor
traffic Its intellectual average is so
high as to shame some of the original
eastern states Taken altogether.
there is no reason why the most ieal-
Gus champion of traditional standards
of citizenship and statehood should
scorn the claims of Oklahoma.

L. E. & w. Engine Runs Half a Mile
On Ties

The engine on the north bound
Lake Erie & Western passenger train
due at Noblesville at o'clock,
Thursday night, jumped the track
near the Stony Creek bridge, one
mile south of Noblesyille. The ac-
cident was not serious, but a remark
able feature was the engine running
half mile OH the ties and rounding
two curves without turning over n
that distance.
The accident was caused by fan
ge on one of the drive wheels break
ing. This occurred while the train
was speeding down a grade at the
rate of forty miles an hour, and was
the result of a flaw in the hange
Passengers on the train say the re-
port from the break resembled the
bursting of half-dozen automobile
tires at the same time. The engine
left the track and jolted along on
the ties around two sharp curves and
across the Stony Creek bridge be-
fore the engineer could stop the
train.
The pilot on the engine was badly
damaged and the steam chest on the
fireman's side denied in a number, of
places None of the coaches left the
track
The train crew and section men
consider it very remarkable that the
engine remained on the ties for such
long distance, and especially in
view of the fact that it was running
at suci, a high rate OF speed around
two curves. There is high en-
bankment on each side OF the track
