FAvoRs FOREIGN FRIENDSHIPS.

When consider that the United States has
Parcels Post connections with 38 different coun-
tries extending this continent from Newfound-
land to Chill and the ocean from Norway to
China and New Zealand it reasonable
to ask for the same privilege for our own people
over shorter distances, says Mirror and Farmer
package weighing II pounds can be sent to any
of the 38 countries referred to at IL cents
pound, $1.32. If person tried to mail II
pounds in our country, however short the
distance he would be forced to put the goods In
three packages and pay $1.76 postage.
Why does our government give foreigners
privilege it denies to our citizens? The
reason for the denial is being stated every day in
the independent press of the country, and by mil
lions of people who would be benefited by the
system in less forcible language than that the
express companies have got their grip on Con-
gress and do not propose to let go until COM
PEELED to let go.
This is serious charge but evidence gathers
every day in proof OF the statement: Nothng
will be done attempted at the special session
of Congress by the advocates of a Parcels Post
system, but when the regular session assemblies
next December there will be something doing all
along the line. Agents of the express companies
may be getting in their work at present, but next
winter the people will take hand in the fight In
earnest and show why their demands just
and should be needed. There is no reason why
the government should not carry packages for it's
citizens upon as favorable terms as it carries
similar packages across the ocean for people
The break of the Western wool growers with
the Eastern wool growers trust is bearing fruit
The move to establish wool storage facilities at
Chicago has given material advance in wool
prices offered and the Eastern and Western rail-
roads have at last agreed to break" the wool
rates at Chicago, making rate in from the West
and out to the East, instead of through rates
which now exist from the producing centers to
the Eastern markets. This action has been taken
despite the protest of the Eastern wool buyers for
it is in accord with the new rate-making principle
the railroads trying to establish, which is that
of breaking" the rates at important centers.

TO WRECK TRAINS
TWO ATTEMPTS MADE RECENTLY
ON THIS END OF BIG FOUR
RAILROAD.
Angle Bars Removed From Rail
Joint in Cairo-Entire Rail
Taken Up in Pulaski
County.

There have been two attempts dur
ing the last few days to wreck trains
on the Big Four railroad in this
vicinity. The latest was in this city
Sunday night when the angle bars
were removed from a rail-ioint on the
main line near the Reiman Magee
Co.'S elevator. The crew of the
switch engine passed over the place
and noticed an unuauai rafting
when the wheels of the engine passed
it. On their way back they stopped
the engine and examined the track
and discovered that the angle bars
had been removed. leaving the rail
joint unprotected and liable to part,
letting the train off the track. The
passenger train coming into Cairo
was delayed till the break could be
repaired.
A more serious attempt was dis
covered by track walkers north of
Olmsted last week. where an entire
rail had been taken out and carried
away. Trains were delayed several
hours on account of this. Although
every effort has been made no clue
to the culprits has been found. The
track men are extraordinarily vigil
ant along this end Of the line.

Unequal Punishment for Same OF

Unequal Punishment for Same OF
fense-Appellant in City of Wichita
". Murphy 80 Pacific Reporter, 272,
alleged that the ordinance under
which he had been imprisoned for
violating liquor law was void, as it
provided unequal punishment for the
same offense. He urged thai a dis
similarity in the condition of iails
would as effectively destroy the uni
form operation OF law as an express
difference in punishment. Some iails
may be reasonably comfortable. while
others are so exposed TO the weather
as to imperial the lives of the i'm
mates. The logic of this argument
seems to go to the extent that in
in clean, comfortable
city jail would be less repressive
upon offenders than in one which
might be offensive and unhealthy.
