Early Christmas Shopping.

An exchange very opportunely
remarks: Every possible consid-
Grafton urges those who have holi-
day shopping to do to do it early.
There are only three weeks TO
Christmas.
Some have already done much
shopping, but those who still have
it to do will find this week and next
week much better for the purpose
than the week or ten days imme-
dia;ely before Christmas Day.
The merchants have offered unus-
ual opportunities for early shop
ping this year, and it will not be
their fault if everybody does not
have plenty of time to buy with
that delibe-ation which assures sat
isfaCtory results.
A rush is inevitable in the last
days, for in spite of every good in
tention there are many who, for
one reason or another, are not in a
position TO shop early. The bust
ness done in those days is not as
satisfactory either to the seller or
to the buyer as that done where
there is no pressure. Those who
can, therefore, will do themselves
the best kind of service by making
their purchases as soon as possible.
No one who has been through
the experience needs to be told that
all the advantages, both in conven-
ienCe and good results, are with
the early shopper. And it is such
a comfort to have it all out of the
way in good season.

Grangers Demand Parcels Post.
On Rural Routes Throughout the Country
National Grange Urges Measure.

The national grange, after a ses-
sion of week in Washington, D.
c., has adjourned. Toward the end
of the meeting it adopted resolu-
tion demanding the Introduction of
the parcels post on rural routes and
also of its universal extension. An
other resolution was adopted ask
ing for the establishment of postal
savings banks for the benefit of
farmers.
These are measures that have
been recommended by Postmaster
General Won Meyer and by his pre-
decessors for twenty years. The
parcels post has long since been in
use in European and even in Asat-
ic countries If the United States
were a monarchy or an oppressed
depotism we would long since have
had the parcels pest here, but be-
ing a free and Independent govern
ment of senatorial, congressional
and other bosses in the pay of the
interests, and having a senator
from New York representing the
express companies, Of which he is
president, on the floor Of the sen
ate, aud having a powerful express
companies lobby with is pockets
bulging with ill.gotteu gains ever
present at the capitol, we must be
content with our vaunted superior
ity in name over the e!fete mon
arches and despotisms.
The recent postoflice deficit is
seventeen millions. The postotiice
establishment, spending nearly two
hundred millions, brings the coun-
try in debt seventeen millions a
year. The establishment, well
managed in a businesslike way and
doing the profitable work that the
express company filches from it,
would bring the government near
ly enough money to build half
dozen Dreadnoughts and would at
the same time furnish all the
people of the United States with a
vastly superior service. With thir-
ty thousand rural routes, nearly
all of them supplied with horse
and wagon, the small amount of
fity-fve pounds trip would wipe
out the deficit. The national
grange has passed resolution to
oppose senator's who oppose the
parcels post delivery.

Planning a Short Session.

The coming session of the Penn
sylvania legislature is to be short
and business like affair, if the pres
ent plans of the leaders are not
changed.
1t is proposed to fix the date of
final adjournment by a joint resolu-
ton at the opening of the session
and to get the committees to work
early, 50 as not to delay the con-
sideration of important measures
on the floor of the senate and
house.
There is some talk Of fixing the
adjournment date in April, though
it is doubtful whether the work
could be put through by that time.
The last legislature adjourned May
Io, and that is considered to be
about as early as it is possible to
wind up the business of the session.
Although the senate and house
meet for organization the first
Monday OF January, the prelimi-
naries usually prevent the transac-
ton of much business before the
first week in February, Adjourn
ment by the middle of May thus
gives only three months and half
for actual work.

Paul Revere's Ride Declared Myth.

Walter Benjamin of New York,
publisher of The Collector, has in
his possession letter which he be-
lieves proves conclusively that Paul
Revere never made the midnight
ride attributed 10 him by Longfel-
low and tradition.
The document is a letter from
John Hancock to Elbridge Gerry,
dated Lexington, April IS, I775,
at 9 O. clock. This was the night
before the memorable battle and
three hours before Paul Revere,
according to Longfellow, crossed
the bridge into Medford town.
Dear Sir; l am much Obliged
for your notice. 1t is said the Of
fcers are gone along the Concord
road, and | will send word thither,
l am full with you that we ought
to ue serious, and | hope your de-
cision will be effectual. | intend
doing myself the pleasure of being

"Your real friend,
JOHN HANCOCK"
Mr.. Benjamin says that if Han
cock, of the Committee of Safety,
knew at 9 o'clock that the troops
had gone along the Concord road
and hoped they would be Serious"
that Lexington and Concord were
fully aroused to the danger of the
coming British troops, and that
there would be no need for Paul
Revere to send
Through the night his cry of
alarm
To every Middlesex village and
farm"

To Curb Automobiles.

An expert in automobiles sug
gests to The Courant radical and
interesting way to get rid of the
disagreeable and irritating horn,
and that is nothing less than to
prohibit its use. There are no
horns on carriages. Why not sim
ply put the automobile on their
footing and hold the driver to the
same rules of caution and safety?
Without the horn to claim for him
the right OF way the chauffeur
would have to slow up at every
street crossing and whenever any
body seem, d likely to get in his
way. tie could not sweep down
the highway warning everybody
else t. sidestep and give him the
road. This is worth thinking of,
Another mighty good suggestion
now going the rounds of the pa
pers is that when an automobile
enters the transgressing class a
part Of the punishment be inflicted
on the machine itself. Automobiles
cost a lot of money, and the pleas
ure they give comes from their use.
New Just suppose that every Of
Tending machine be taken possession
of by the law and be confined for a
certain period depending on the ma
ture of the offense. How is Mr..
Six Thousand Dollars going to feel
when his machine is arrested in
Nav and confined for six months
and he cannot use it during all the
halcyon days of its season. VIII
not the danger of such fate keeI
him in order? 1t strikes us yes.

Pact With Japan Complete.
No, Treaty. But Merely Ioint Statement

Secretary of State Elihu Root,
on behalf of the United States, and
Kogoro Takahlra, Ambassador on

policy of the two Governments i'll
the Far East. The actual cere-
mony OF exchange was very brief,

sador a note which bore his sigma
turc, and the Ambassador giving
to Mr.. Root a paper defining Jap
ans policy and bearing his sigma
ture.
Assistant Secretary Bacon, second

former with a smile OH his face, in-
dicating his great satisfaction over
the conclusion of the exchanges.
The full purport of the notes al
ready has been set ont in press dis
patches. They were made public
simultaneously in the United States
and Japan Tuesday night with a
view to their publication in Doth
countries on Wednesday morning.
ACTION BY SENATE UNNECESSARY.
The exchange of notes is based
on the idea of encouraging and de-
Tending free and peaceful CONNER
cial development in the Pacific and
to this end the signatory parties
have prepared a series of articles
expressive of their intentions in the
matter. Legislative action by the
Senate is unnecessary, and tie de.
claration or exchange Of notes will
not have to be referred to that body.
The declaration is not treaty,
simply a reafiirmation of what both
| Japan and the United States have
stood for in China and in the far
East generally. 1. has no legal
standing, but its greatest benefit
will be that derived from the moral
effect it will exercise III the future
diplomacy governing the far East.
In this respect, it has been likened
TO the Monroe doctrine in Ameri.
can history. Il was pointed out
as rather a singular coincidence
that the exchange of notes wit h
Japan regarding China should oc-
cur on the same day as that on
which Tang Shao vi has come to
thank the American government
for the remission of the Boxer III
demnity.
GOOD EFFECT ABROAD.
Apart from the reiteration OF the
attitude of the two Governments
interested on the subject of China,
the exchange of Mondays notes is
very timely and useful, according
to the State Department News.
