THE PARCELS POST.

RAYvnLE, MD., January Goth, 1908.
Editors Union lin this, the last article for the
present on parcels post, with your permission.
will be noted some of the inconsistencies of the
regulations of the Postofice Department.
First we have parcels post to foreign coun-
tries, but none for the United States and its CO.
lonial possessions.
A package weighing eleven pounds can be
mailed to the West India Misunderstanding
Cuba and Porto Rico-at the rate of twelve cents
per pound. But If it is mailed to Cuba or Porto
Rico the weight is limited to four pounds and
the rate is sixteen cents per pound. A package
Weighing eleven pounds can be mailed to the
Central American republics and to Columbia
and Venezuela in South America for twelve
cents per pound, but If it is mailed to Panama or
the canal zone the weight is limited to four
pounds and the rate is sixteen cents per pound.
A package weighing eleven pounds can be
mailed to New Zealand for twelve cents per
pound, but If it is to go to the Philippine Islands
the rate is sixteen cents per pound, and the
weight is limited to four pounds.
Another inconsistency is that where the Post
Office Department could do the largest amount
of business a. the least cost it is double the rate
of postage.
Periodicals published in New York may be
mailed by the publishers to Chicago or San Fran
cisco at the rate of one cent per pound, and
periodicals can be mailed from any point in the
United States and delivered in New York for one
cent per pound, but the New York publisher
must pay two cents per pound on all periodicals
sent by mail to be delivered in the New York
postal district.
The railroad and express companies will carry
one large package for less than they will carry
many small packages aggregating the same
weight as the large package. but the officials of
the Postofice Northumberland to have not
discovered this fact-have limited this great
convenience to the Insignificant weight of four
pounds.
With upwards of $1,000 postoffices. rural de-
livery system and costly organization fully
equipped to handle the business, the parcels
now handled by the Postofice Department do
not amount to one per cent. of the parcels ham
died in the United States because the rates are
made prohibitive in the interest of the express
companies.
The Postoffice Department is in the position
of a country newspaper with a circulation of
one or two hundred copies, with terms of sub
scription at three dollars per year. which must
necessarily prove failure unless the publisher
be rich enough to afford to do business for
pleasure only, but with circulation of eight or
ten thousand copies at one dollar year it is a
profitable business.
The Postofnce Department can likewise in
crease its usefulness to the people and become
selfsustaining by abolishing the Thanking prvi-
lege on seeds that don't grow and public docu-
ments that nobody reads, and by the adoption of
reasonable rates and business principles.

MARYLAND AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE AND
EXPERIMENTAL STATION,
STATE HORTICULTURAL DEPARTMENT,
COLLEGE PARK, Md, Jan. 22d. 1908 J
Messrs. Editors We have recognized for some
time the need of public sprayers in manysparts
of the State, in order that the fruit and shade
trees in cities, towns and villages, as well as
small orchards surrounding same, may be treat
ed for the San Jose scale and other pests as well
as diseases.
The owners of these trees are usually not in a
position to secure the necessary apparatus to
enable them to conduct the work, but the vast
majority would order such treatment done by a
responsible man at reasonable cost.
1t is the aim of the Department to establish
several public sprayers in localities where there
is the greatest demand for them. The sprayers
will be conducted on self-supporting basis,
charging for the work sufficiently to cover cost
of materials and operation.
So far as we know, this Department was the
first to undertake this phase of the work in the
country. Three outfits were operated success
fully last spring, at charge of 10 to 20 cents per
tree, depending upon the size and number of the
trees sprayed. While the number that we shall
be able to establish this year will be limited, we
wish all persons desiring to have sprayer loca-
ted in their vicinity to answer our advertise
ment in another column by writing to us at once.

In recent issue of Leslie's Weekly cNerles
]. Bonaparte. Attorney General of the United
States, has an article on Newspapers As
Personal Organs, in which he gives his views
as follows: "As soon as paper is recognized
as somebody's organ as expressing the views
and wishes and opinions of any particular
man or set of men, its healthful influence as
newspaper is gone it may, indeed have an
other kind of influence, for those who control
or conduct it may be powerful men, but its
editorial utterances are simply their open let
ters' In my judgemnt, this is a matter Of
very serious and urgent concern to the Ameri.
can people today. Certain of our newspapers,
including some whose influence within my
memory-indeed, within comparatively few
years-was power and power for good, in
the community, are now firmly and widely
believed to be virtually, or even literally,
owned by well-known 'interests'-or, in other
words by wealthy men engaged in farreach-
ing enterprises. This widespread and very
confident belief as to such ownership makes
them virtually trade organs, with but little
more influence than the papers published
avowedly as SUCH"

The LAST report of the secretary of the United
States Senate on supplies purchased for that
august body contains some interesting infor-
nation relating to the perquisites of the mem
Ders. II shows the purchase for the use of
the grave and reverend Senators such necessi-
ties of official life as skirt bags, hand bags,
Peter Pan purses, quinine pills, playing cards,
facial creams, perfume, brilliantine, etc. To
this may be added hundred or so other arti-
Giles, useful and ornamental, also plenty of
stationery and the franking privilege, so that
the rural Congressman can send free to his
constituents anything from goose to mule.
Then, too, each Congressman has the privilege
of two personal appointments, and so Senator
JEFF Davis has listed one of his daughters as
secretary and the other as 'laborer." In
view of his perquisites we think the average
statesman ought to get along fairly well on
81 500 per year additional.
