The aim of the Commissioner OF Accounts yes
terday was 10 make the chief engineer admit that
he advised the Board of Water Supply to throw
out the bid of the John Perce Company for the
Ashokan Dam work and accept the higher bid Of
the Macarthur Brothers and Winston & Co, with
out warrant. The latter companies are to receive
2.S54OC0 more for the wor% than the Peirce COM

The witness said he thought 10 per cent of the
contract price would be a good profit for the con-
tractor. He thought that Peirce could not make
that profit and that. In fact the Peirce company
would have had to do the work at a loss. This
would inevitably cause a delay in the work.
How would delay help losing contractorT

my opinion; do not consider ii advice" replied
Mr.. Smith.

was not exact science, and that estimates would
not prove that a bidder low or high.

COUNTRY MERCHANTS DON'T
WANT A PARCELS POST

Merchants'ln small cities. In villages.
and at country cross roads are likely
to overwhem Congress with protests
against the adoption OF Postmaster
General Meyers plan for parcels post,
as recently outlined. II the government
should compete with express companies
at a low rate big mail order houses
would soon have monopoly In the
country. Small merchants could not
compete with them and widespread ruin
would result. There are hundreds Of
thousands OF such merchants, and
they, their clerks, their families. their
relatives aud their friends viii all be
opposed to the parcels post scheme.
These merchants and the auxlliaries
they can bring to bear are powerful In
Congress. and 1t Is hardly possible that
any parcels post bill can get through
that body. Congressman are not going
10 pass legislation that would bring
poverty TO a large class OF the pOpula-
ton. The country merchant is use
full citizen and at one stroke 10 deprive
thousands upon thousands of their live
lIhood would he, 10 say the least, do

looked long upon II. and with the words,
"Well done. my boy" turned back to

blessing OF home In which all their
children are gathered. or to which they
return ut frequent intervals. are hardly
capable Of understanding the anxiety
and heartache which enter no commonly
Into the lives Of army and navy par.
ents, even In times Of peace. The ser.
vice cOnfers Its distinctions and Offers
Its cOmpensatiOns, but It also exacts lta
sacrifices. There Is always the expert.
ence Of varied and trying climates
there are long absences ana frequent
separations; and more often, perhaps
than Is supposed. there Ii sudden and
great danger. The quiet dignity, the
accomplishing fortitude with which
these things are borne are not among
the least admirable qualities OF those
who compose that service whose duty
Is not primarily to command. but really
to serve.
