WOULD CORRECT CAUSE
OF MUCH CONFUSION

washington.-All the Christmas
vote would be cast, II the opportunity
were presented. in favor of a bill just
introduced by Senator Knute Nelson,
of Minnesota, to correct an evil that
was the source of much complaint
last month.
It has to do with the ''not-to-be-
opened until Christmas'' packages.
Congress tried to pass a law provid-
ing that those words might be in
scribed on a package without raising
the cost of postage.
Some genius in the postoffice de-
partment during the recent ante
Christmas days. decided that the law
referred only to packages to which
We're attached printed labels giving
the don't open warning. He ruled
that IL the warning was written on
the package the latter was trans
formed from merchandise into letter
mail and subject to double the mer-
chandise rate of postage.
The department officials held up
hundreds of pacages on the ground
Of insufficient postage and the result
was much confusion and delay
Nelson's bill provides in language
that cannot be subject to miscon-
struction that people may write the
don't open" notice on package
without changing the rate of postage.

ded to the curriculum of that school.

PREMATURE IN
DISCIPLINE OF LORDS

LOndon.-With regard to disciplng
in the House of Lords, Mr. Asquith
seems to be a trifle premature. He
is undoubtedly right in saying that
the question Of the relative powers
Of the two houses must be settled be-
fore all other matters, for the impo-
tence of the Liberal Ministry. with all
it's immense majority, arose from the
rejection by the lords of one measure
Of reform after another. In the case
at issue. even should his party make
good his promises, home rule could
never pass the lords. The, great in
crease in the unionist vote, even the
election, indicates no popular indg-
nation against the peers that can be
counted upon to support revolution
ary schemes.

there are two lines of green land, two
lines of mountains following the
