In Terror OF Parcels POST.

Reporters in Washington are all agreed
that parcels post stands poor chance OF
being realized at this session of Congress
One reason they assign for this is inter
esting; namely, that members of Con
gress are being fairly deluged with letters
from country merchants who think that
parcels post would be the ruin of their
business. AS matter of fact, great sums
of money are being spent in creating
a public opinion adverse to any move
ment of the kind. The meu who are
opposed to this reform are possessed of
meaus, so that there is no trouble in
getting funds; but it has been noted they
are exactly the same class who resolutely
opposed free rural delivery.
On the opposite side, the farmer and
bis friends are apathetic. and have no
paid lawyers or lobbyists to influence the
legislators at Washington 1t is, unfortu-
nately. true that the average farmer has
to the question. 1t is different, however,
with the women of the farmers family.
The parcels post appeals to them. By its
means they could send to their home
town for all sorts of small orders, such as
every housekeeper really needs, without
making journey of SO many miles. 1t
is a wonderful convenience, more partic
ularly when any one in the house is sick +,
or, as is the case with many, nobody is
available to 60 for the goods required.
The only objection made thus far to
parcels post is tlAt it favors unduly the
mail-order houses. But what are the
facts? The mail. order houses do not care
for the parcels post, because it is said they
have an understanding" with the ex-
press companies. In many instances the
express people have greatly helped their
business, and it is true they have assisted
the mail-o.der houses in every possible
way. In any case, the greater part of all
mail,order trade is done by freight. and
always will be, so that, after all, the
country merchant sides with his old
enemy, the express company, against his
true friend the farmer, who has always
patronized him.
If country store keepers kept every
thing 10 stock required by the farmer
and his family there would be no need OF
parcels post; but. on the contrary, they
keep only the necessities of life, and
it would be absolutely impossible for
them to keep on hand everything the
modern housekeeper or farmer. requires.
The rural dwellers of the United States
have little idea of the wonderful con-
veaience of parcels post service; but they
can Imagine a good deal. 1t makes
country life far pleasanter for all, more
particularly for the women folks. who are
almost constantly in need of some small
order from town"
The farmers should consider this matter
carefully, and endeavor to influence
others so that. the coming fall, every
Congressman will be compelled to state
whether he prefers the express companies
to the farmer and his family. 1t is either
one or the other.

Every woman desires good complexion, but
oft-times either ruins the she has or fails to
gain one by the paint and powder method she
employs. A good complexion is from within and
can't be painted or powdered on. Two things
are necessary in order to be the possessor of a
good complexion. 4 healthy action of the liver
and good rich blood. Rydale's Liver Tablets
taken occasionally and followed for week or
ten days by Rydale's Tonic and plenty of fresh
air and out of doors exercise will beat all the
paint and powder in the world. Try 1t just once
and see. Eli T. Reynold.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Congress having refused the President
his four war ships it is said is now feeling
extremely virtuous, not SO much from
having saved the country twelve millions
of dollars, for this is precisely the amount
squandered on the merry widows of the
old soldiers in pensions, but Congress
feels virtuous because it thinks it has re
captured its legislative prerogative and
that it is once again in the law making
saddle and that the President is RELOCATED
to his chair in the White House. The
President is doubtless very much disap-
pointed. AS statesman he has keen
err and more extended foresight than
most members of the House. He is a
broader and deeper read historian than
most of them. He is more intimately in
touch with national and international
movements and trends than all but
very few of them. 1t was perhaps mis-.
take for us to have planted our flag in the
Philippines, especially as we are SO vain
and sensitive about removing it, but It
would be very much better for US to take
it down and away from that far of
Oriental outpost now and of our own
accord. than to be compelled to surrender
it after disastrous war and untold loss
of blood and treasure. 1t Is doubtless
this foregoing ever imminent in the mind
of the President that impells him to ask
for these iron clad pacificators. There is
but one respect in which we are stronger
than the strongest and most war like
people of the East. Our Navy is larger
than that of Japan. but the Russian Navy
was much larger than that Of Japan. We
believe thai our Navy is better than was
the Russian Navy but it is doubtless the
desire of the President to make it so over
whelmingly superior to the Japanese navy
that there will be no question of the out
come of conflict The Japenese army
is at least fifteen times as strong as ours
but there will be no need of our ever
trying conclusions with the Japanese land
force if we are able to overcome her at
sea.

There is rumor that the Secretary of
War, Mr.. Taft, will soon resign the War
portfolio and give his entire attention to
his Presidential pose. 1t is possible how.
ever he may wait until after the Chicago
convention or until after there is absolute
assurance that he will De nominated.
The events of the last week doubtless con-
siderably strengthened his presidential
candidacy. 1t is said that the President
is in high spirits at the prospect of Tat's
nomination and that next to battle ships
that this is the dearest object his hopes.
~
1t is reported that Congress is not salts
fed with the Presidents success as a
trust buster in the particular case of the
print paper trust. Speaker Cannon and
other leaders of the House especially dis
approve his methods. The International
Paper Company has especially worried
the leaders in Congress or, TO put it more
directly, the papers of the country are
after Congress to suppress this trust and
Congress would like TO appear to heed
the press. Attorney General Bonaparte
has been looking into the operations OF
the paper trust for several weeks and in
reply to resolution introduced by Speak
err Cannon two weeks ago, the Attorney
General said that but little progress had
been made with this investigation. This
