TOURISTS GOOD TO ]. BULL

Notwithstanding the movement
which originated a couple of years
ago to ''sec America first the
tourist invasion of London con-

the effect that no fewer than $50, :
900 Americans have crossed the big
pond this year and have left as
much as SIS, 100000 to line the
Golfers of the British tradespeoplc.
1t is forcgone conclusion that a
goodly percentage of these tourists
have yet to become acquainted
with the geography and scenery of
their owncountry. They are prob
ably not aware whether Idaho is
south or west of Alaska, or whether
Kalamazoo is in Alabama or Ore
gon. All they are dead sure of is
that their ncig hbors have cousin

THE PARCEL POST

Every small retail dealer through
out the United States, presumably,
is asked to indorse the parcels
post plan of the postmaster general
which is exactly the weapon with
which the big mail order houses
will beat him from the field they
wish to more compile thy occupy.
And if the retail dealer indorses
the scheme he, deserves to be beat
en-, and severely, too.
: If bona fidc intent to confer
benefits upon all the people were
behind the plan it ought then to
take some such shape as a reduc-
ton of letter postage to one cent
per half ounce. Otherwise the
proposed measure bears unmistake-
able evidence of prospective iegis-
Iation designed to serve interests
already enjoying more than fair
share of governmental favor.
The postmaster general has an
nounced publicly that he will ask
congress to allow packages of a
1o-pound maximum to be carried for
two cents; if it will not be per-
mitted as much, then maximum
of five pounds is asked. 1t, is
obvious to all who will reflect a
moment whose interest and profit
such scheme will serve-the big
mail order houses of the east.
True, it will perhaps not be hailec
with great JOY by the express COM
panics, but these are not patronized
by the general public as the posta
service of the country, and will af-
feet them but Slightly. The
scheme deserves to be nippcd ir
the bud.

THOUGHT LIBERTY A JOSS

From New York comes the IN
teresting story that the Chinese
crew of an incoming ocean liner
mistook the Bartholdi statue of
Liberty for the god of America and
burned joss sticks in honor of the
diety. As the shades of night fell
and the great light in the statue
flashed out its greeting and warning
across the waters, the Chinese are
said TO have fallen to their knees,
believing the great and good god
as signaling appreciation and
blessings.
The story may be taken with
several grains of salt, put it is
worth retelIing, nevertheless. Ever
since the Barthoidi statue was
erected, as sign of the entente
cordialc existing between two

HE KNOWS.

The Jonesboro Herald and Tribune
says
Except Attorney General Harmon no
one has as good opportunity to observe
the effect of the abolition of the sa-
looms in the counties composing this
judicial circuit, as Judge A. ]. Ty-
Ter. When he went upon the bench
the saloons were in full blast. 1t re-
uuired a two weeks session of the
court at Jonesboro, Rogersvflle, Green
vile and Blountsyille to clear the
dockets, which were crowded with
criminal cases, at least nine-tenths OF
which had their origin In liquor. The
consequence was that the taxpayers
of Hawkins, Greene and Sullivan coun-
ties had to meet heavy bills OF cost.
Since the saloons went out there has
been a. marsed diminution' OF crime
and four or five days suffice to hold
the courts at the county seats men /,
toned above. In the saloon times the |
grand juries were in session for a
week or more, and now they are gen.
orally discharged after two days
service This is an enormous saving
10 the taxpayers.
THE testimony of Judge Tyler can
not be questioned. He speaks from
he record.
ut is the recital of such facts by
such intelligent men as Judge Tyler
who know for a certainty that their
statements are accurate, that has
argely contributed to making the or
position to the liquor interests Pyrr-
tic phalanx All the trouble from
liquor in the dry territory is caused ,
