The time has arrived when one
must make selections for gradual
ing gifts for the girls. The Whltley
Jewelry company has an immense
stock of dainty things to select
from. Why not consider bracelet?
You know that fashion has decreed
that sleeves shall again be short.
Bracelets are coming in with re-
neved force. Then there is the
beautiful tiny watch and the enor-
nous locket and rings with setting
of diamonds, pearls, amethyst, JADE
etc. The first ring, the first watch,
the first bracelet means so much TO
the young girls, and as a rule they
come when graduating comes. we
must not forget that boys also grad
uate. Gifts for them can also be
found there.
Great deal of interest is just now
centered around the June brlde.

suggestion of ornament and one

emit plan OF taking the oath we're cal
ried on.
Perhaps some such plan az operates
in England might be tried. Theoret-
ically there is always ruler for Eng
land always ready the minute the for
mer monarch dies-but the coronation
does not take place until afterwards.
We are debarred from the use Of this
custom from lack Of monarchial
crowns, and from the fact that the
president must take his oath before he
becomes president, formality which
does not seem to worry our English
cousins greatly.
The simplest way to escape billiards
would be to have the president sworn
in and then along about the Glorious
Fourth, have the parades and the fire
works and the speeches. That would
be an excellent economy, except that
July weather in Washington is worse
than billiards..

The exercises were in the nature Of

THE NEW PARCELS POST.

The new parcels post law which is
now before congress means much to
the merchants and farmers In COM
munities such as this. 1t has great
possibilities for good and not one-sid-
ed good at that Ordinarily the mere
mention OF the word parcels post
drives the small merchant into fit
and means little no more to the aver
age farmer than some new scheme OF
the mail order houses.
The bill now before congress prom
ises to obviate the dangers of the mail
order variety to small merchants and
at the same time to give the local mer-
chant new market and the farmer a
quick means of transportation espec-
tally in the seasons when the weather
is too bad or the work too important
to go to town.
In short every post office from
which rural routes eminate is to be a
point of entry for parcels mail on
those routes only. The mail must be
less than eleven pounds per parcel.
The restriction placed on the mail is
that the parcels must not be shipped
from an agency. This is to prevent
the mail order houses from entering
the field by shipping things to a dis
tributing agent who in turn would for
ward the parcels on the rural routes.
Obviously this is a local parcels
post. But its advantages are appar-
emit. In the first place besides being a
great convenience it will also make
the rural route help support itself in
stead OF being an added expense to
the postal deficit every year. For the
increase of income will go far toward
supporting the system and may even
make it Independent and self sustain
ing.
Local merchants have expressed a
fear that the farmer will not come to
town when he has the parcels post.
He may indeed not come to town so
much Though even that is doubtful)
but the system will encourage local
trade. The easier it is to buy things
the more things will be bought-that
is self evident. What is more to the
point those people on the rural routes
will be all the more likely to confine
their trade in Richmond.
The parcels post with it's intimate
connection to the rural route means
that Wayne county must keep on i'm.
proving its roads Rural routes espec
tally with the heavy loads which the
new system will sometimes cause can
only be effective where the roads are
good.

THE INVESTIGATION.

Some time ago the Young Mems
Business Club of this city, appointed
. committee to examine into the ac-
counts and business affairs OF the city
to see in what condition they are. This
committee will report early next week
In all probability. No matter exactly
what that report will contain, but there
are few things which can be said to
advantage before that report comes in.
The value OF report or an investi-
CATION depends entirely on the thor
oughness, competence and integrity Of
the men who make the report OF the
investigation. Even II 1t be found that
this affairs OF the city are in good
shape that everything could not be
better-it does not mean that this sort
Of examination should not be made and
made thoroughly by the same class Of
men as are now engaged in 1t. For
the frequent auditing of the city's
books II courted by the capable and
honest officials and feared and shun-
ned by those OF the opposite charac-
teristics. 1t all makes for good gov
eminent. The good official gets a
recognition OF his services which en-
courages him-and the crook knows he
must keep straight or get caught.
The people Of this town must not
think that because an investigation
does not unearth graft at every haul.
that an investigation is therefore use
lass. II Is fundamentally important
that from time to time there shall be
Investigations to keep graft out Of the
town.
The merchant that does not look
over his accounts now and then gets
In trouble.
But the proposition Of graft is not
the only one which should concern the
citizens in any report. incompetence
and waste are quite as expensive even
q II NOT quite 6O CGlHulHAl 6S graft. IL
Is to be hoped that from this report 1t
may be seen what. II anything, there
Is wrong with the present state OF az
fairs. SO that the people may take this
into consideration before the nomina-
lions for mayor are settled.
The way to begin q business admin
istration such as the Palladium hopes
that Richmond Is to have In the future
Ii to start In with q clean sheet and q
knowledge OF where the trouble has
lain In the past. That is the only way
that the evils Of tho former years can
be minimized. 1t Is to be hoped tina,
this investigation and the report Of the
proceedings will be full enough and
clear enough for the people to see the
exact condition OF affairs.
II it does that. the investigation
will be q success.

City correspondent is grieved because
some folks are boycotting Richmond
He says we may have another chance
at the saloons in two years. And in
the meantime would it not be much
better for us drys to go to the wet
brother. greet him with a hearty
shake OF the hand and try to show
our erring brother where he was
wrong" We all have freedom OF
thought and action, and il this Foun-
tain City brother. and others think
they can convince Richmond that it
voted wrong by patting it on the back
and making love to 1t, they have a
right to pc. and make love all they
please, but many people think it would
be better to let Richmond men feel a
financial loss on account of their tim
idity and failure to vote as they knew
they ought for fear they might lose a
nickle. A long time before Captain
Boycott was born. people have re-
served to themselves the right to with
hold their patronage from towns or
men IL they thought 1t best. Today a
great many people that have spent
their dollars In Richmond In the past
will trade elsewhere and we hope
enough people will do SO to make, men
take notice that the nickles they have
saved by voting wet have lost them
dollars for their folly. II we can not
get what we want in a dry town and
must GO to Richmond we know of a
few good people there who voted dry
and we will trade with them.
