BLOCKING THE PARCELS POST.

R EPoRTS from Washington say that no par
M GELS post law will be enacted at the present
session Of Congress. Senator Penrose, OF Penn
sylvana is chairman Of the committee on post
roads and postoffces.
The other day he introduced an amendment to
the appropriation bill to enable the Postoffice De-
partment TO investigate and experiment for the
purpose of determining the lowest rate at which
the Postofice Department can carry mail parcels
not exceeding eleven pounds in weight
The Postmaster General is directed to report the
results Of his Investigations and experiments to
the next Congress-
Senator Penrose's committee has reported no
parcels post bill Of any character and although
the amendment providing for an investigation Will
probably he Approved il is believed says the Wash
ineton correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, that
no move will be made at this time towards carry
,lng out the Presidents suggestion tor a parcels
. post
During the last few weeks the hopes of the ad-
yocates Of an experimental rural system have
been fading The Cannon organization in the
House is believed TO be opposed 10 parcels post
in any form The Cannon lieutenants declare
that a parcels post is not wanted, even by the
farmers
Their attitude shows how far they are out OF
touch with the real sentiment of the people There
has been widespread demand for parcels post,
not only from the grangers and other organiza-
tions of farmers, but also from the residents OF
cities who cannot understand why Americans
should not enjoy the privileges which people OF
other countries enjoy.
1t may be taken for granted that Senator Pen
rose and men Of his stamp who have the repu-
taton of obeyng the wishes of the special inter-
ests rather than looking after the welfare OF the
people, do not want parcels post because II would
interfere with the huge profits made by the ex-
press companies.
President Taft urged the establishment Of a
mail package system on rural free delivery routes,
and his position was criticised by those who
thought that the system should also be tried in
the cities 1t is evident that the parcels post will
not be fact until after hard fight. The least
that could be done at this session would be to carry
the recommendation Of the Presiednt into effect.
If this is not DONE the voters will hold the Re-
publican party responsible for failure to heed their
demands.
1t is gratifying. however, to note that the Re-
publican State convention of Delaware declared
without reserve for parcels post system and our
Senators and Representative in Congress may be
expected carry the wishes of the convention into
effect, so far as they are able to do so.

duPOnt Building Addition Work
Goes With Rush While
Warmer Weather LingerS
PUTTING THE WALLS
In POSITION NOW

With the abatment of the severe
winter of the past few months work
on the new DUPONT building is rapidly
progressing and the building shows
signs OF being nearer completion Work
on the erection OF the walls and the
interior work is being carried ahead
with remarkable rapidity and from
all appearances tho structure will
soon be far enough built for the in
terror finishing touches.
Work was greatly handicapped ow-
ing to the cold weather which made 1t
next to impossible to carry operations
forward during the past few months.
Il was difficult 10 set concrete on ac-
count of the low temperature and in
nearly all branches OF the work the
workmen were held back.
Since the return of moderate wealth
er floors of concrete have been laid
for each story and the walls of the
building are rapidly mounting higher
and higher. The Manufacturers Con-
tracing Company. the contractors, are
very well satisfied with the progress OF
the, work and say that the concrete
structure is as fine as any could be,
and declare that when completed the
new building viii be as near IRE proof
as any Of the buildings in other cities,
as we'll as in Wilmington.
Tho steel framework has all been
placed and the steel skeleton lifts its
head two stories above the present du-
Pont building. II is understood that
as soon as completed the United Wire
less station, now situated on the top
floor of the present building will be
transferred to the top Of the new
structure which will afford a higher
position for their standards and it is
expected that it will prove more con-
venient IN other ways.
On the north side Of the building un-
der construction the walls have been
run UP as high as the ninth floor, on
the rear as high as the second floor
and in front as high as the third. They
are being worked higher and higher
each day and it will be matter Of but
a few weeks until they are completed.
AS fast as the walls are built the win
dow sills are put I'm place and the
structure is daily assuming more OF
the appearance Of building that is
nearing completion.

Among the statesmen at Washington the chief
point of interest in the agreement supposing that
it is adopted, is whether the influx of Canadian
food products will really result in the lessening
of the cost of living. That remains TO be proved,
for the method of manipulation Of the food sup
plies the cold storage processes, the cornering of
the markets and all that, it seems to us, play the
most important part in keeping up prices.
Governor Dix Of New York, the other day point
ed out the huge margin between the price New
York farmer gets for potatoes for example, when
he sells them, and the price the consumer in New
York city pays when he buys them. The consumer
pays about four times as much the farmer re-
ceives according to Governor Dix.
1t is a question of just how large will be the
volume of food products that would come here
from Canada under the new agreement. Prices
along the Canadian border may be affected, but it
is doubtful whether even the importation Of Ca
madam products free of duty will have material
influence on prices in our country at large.
However that may be, the agreement
is worth trying as a possible solution of
the vexing problem of the high cost Of
living The very high protectionists OF course are
opposed TO the agreement What they want is not
a lower tariff, but an increase in duty. The Re-
publican Progressves are believed to be favorable
to the agreement while the Democratic leaders at
Washington are for it,
President Taft himself is reported as rather
guarded in expressing his views He is inclined
TO think that the price of stape food products,
especially Of cereals is much the same the world
over and the recent increase in price has been
the result of worldwide cost cause
Having a source Of supply so near as Canada,
the President says, would certainly help TO pre-
vent speculative fluctuations, would steady local
price movements and would postpone the effect
of further world increase in the price of lead
ing commodities entering into the cost of living
If that be inevitable. At any rate, the agreement
is movement in the direction of wider adjust
ments of tariffs which will come through the chan
nels of a permanent Tariff Commission

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
How a Famous Maine Man
Began All Over Again
BY ~Rouand..

Eugene Hale, who retires from the
United States Senate next March. Is
today the country's most famous man
from Maine He has been IN the SEN
ate since 1881, a longer service than
any other member now In the Sonate:
and he has been I'm public life aud
public once practically continuously
since he came of age in 1857. But,
so far as | know. II has never been
told In print how, after he had been
a county attorney for nine years, a
member OF the Maine Legislature for
two years, and member Of the lower
House Of Congress for fiye terms. be
began his political career all over
again.
A few days after Mr. Hale had been
sworn in as a United States Senator
for the first time. | met Thomas B.
Reed in a telegraph Office In Wash
ington. He was in one of his delight
ful philosophical, contemplative
moods. and ne spoke Of the great en-
! ioyment be was then experiencing
through his discovery of a French
classic. After q while the conversation
drifted around to national politics,
then to Maine politics. and then ! re-
minded Mr. Reed that in 1879. when a
stone cutter of the name of Murch
| had defeated the new Senator from
Maine In his sixth candidacy for Con-
gress, predictions we're freely made
that that was the end of Eugene Hale,
politically.
Well" drswled Mr. Reed, that
might very we'll have been the end of
Eugene Hale If he hadn't begun all
over again At any rate. I'm certain
that he wouldn't have got into the
Senate so soon if II hadn't been for
the Greenback craze that swept over
Maine and leveled him, among others,
before It died down.
Not long after this fellow Murch
defeated Hale I asked Hale what he
was going to do
Tom, he said, I am going TO be-
gin all over again.
"'How are you going TO do that?
] asked.
"'Wei. he said. you know, serv-
ed two terms I'm the Maine House OF
Representative in 1S67-s. made
my political mark there, and from
! there was sent 70 Congress. Now
they are saying that | am dead po-
litlcally. because. after serving five
terms in the House Of Representatives
of the United States. have been
beaten by an unknown, q stone cutter
backed by the Greenbacks, the Labor
vote and the Democratic party. But
don't think so; in fact, | am GOING
to prove. TO all who say am dead
politically that they are wrong, and
| I'm going to do it by going back tc
the Maine Legislature and beginning
my political career all over again
"Wen. the following autumn con-
tinued Mr.. Reed. "Hale was a candi-
date for his old seat in the lower
House of the State Legislature. He
was elected easily from the town OF
Ellsworth. and back he went to Az

he was when he first took his seat
In that body. He did not complain al

the fact that he was no longer in
Congress-. He applied himself assid-
uOusly to his duties as a State leg
islator, and the first thing his politi-
cal enemies knew-the very ones who
had prophesied some time before that
he was dead politically-Hale's con-
duct had so won the admiration and
respect Of the State that when It
came time for a new Senator to be
elected from the State Of Maine Eu-
gene Hale easily led the list Of can
didates and won the coveted honor
am sure that his demeanor during
this second period in the Maine Leg
islature served more than any other
one thing than his long re-
cord in Congress, more than the fact
that he had been offered and declined
the post Of Secretary Of the Navy by
President Hayes--to cause his parts
without dissent, to insist that he sue
coed Hannibal Hamlin IN the United
States Senate. And | doubt whether he
would have got TO the Senate had
he not begun all over again in just
the way he did.

A Democratic Hog Combine.

Houston Post.
Representative Dies is quite right
in denouncing the method by which a
group Of Democratic Representatives,
who have organized themselves into a
hog combine, seek to dominate the
House of the 62d Congress. This com
bine has not only assumed to name
the Ways and Means Committee, but
in trafficking for the votes necessary
to put their scheme through, they
have parceled out chairmanships and
assignments without consulting new
members. And this plan is the sub
sutute for the time-honored method
Of appointing the committees.
OF course, II the scores Of new
members who have not been consulted
submit to tyranny of this character. it
is their affair, but We do not hesi-
tate to denounce it as an unprecedent-
ed pieca Of hoggishness that is calcu-
lated 10 distract the majority at the
very outset OF the Congress. And If
there are not enough leadership and
courage among the new members, and
the old ones who we're excluded from
the favor of the junta, then the Demo-
cratic party Is indeed in sore straits.

TEN THOUSAND DRUGGISTS
Unite in Their Opinion Regarding 9
Certain Medicine.


Druggists should know better than
anyone else tho value Of every medi-
cine.
Therefore. when over ten thousand
recommend Vinol, the cod liver and
iron tonic. without oil. over their
own signatures as the greatest tonic
reconstructor and strength creator
and offer to return the purchase
money in every case where it fails to
give satisfaction. It must indicate
that Vinol is a pretty reliable medi-
cine
We could publish columns of such
testimony as the following:
c. A. Potterfeld. the leading drug
gist of Charleston, w. Va. saws he
used Vinol for every member Of his
family and has never been disan-
pointed with the results.
Mr.. J. F. Bradley, druggist. of New
Brunswick n. j.. says. ''Vinol is GER
tainly a wonderful medicine. He has
proved it from personal experience"
The many years that Vinol has been
on the ma -ket has served to strength
en- its popularity. and proved By con-
tinued tests that il will do all that ia
claimed for it.
Try a bottle of Vinol with the IN
derstanding that your money will be
returned II It does not build up your
strength and give you an added In
terest In life.

A GOOD AGREEMENT.

- RESIDENT TAFT'S message providing for
reciprocity with Canada is long advance
towards establishing better trade relations with
the country to the north of us II is an epoch
making agreement and if Congress follows the
plan advocated by the President it will have taken
a big step for progress.
The agreement provides for free exchange be-
tween Canada and the United States Of wheat and
other grains, dairy products, fresh fruits and
vegetables, fish of all kinds, eggs, poultry, cattle
sheep and other live animals Printing paper is
also put on the free list provided that Canada re-
moves all restrictions on the expectation from the
Dominion of pulp wood.
There are many other provisions but these are
the most important. It is believed by many that
the opening of our doors TO Canada will have a
material influence on the cost of living in that
there will be importstions of food products, the
present high prices of which have been grievous
burden on our people
The argument of the President and others who
favor the agreement is that our country has in
creased so rapidly in urban population that the
supply of food products has not kept pace With
the demand, the result being that the cost Of liv-
ing is increased. And yet, considering the vast
agricultural domain Of the United States this is
apparently remarkable position for il is certain
that our population could be vastly increased be-
fore it would approach the limits OF some nations
which are practically self-sustaining far as their
supply of food is concerned.

OPPOSES THE

George w. Sparks, president OF the

Mr.. Sparks says that such a law
would be an imposition to the public
and that 1t would serve, but to in
crease the already too extensive pow

he understood the proposed act the
laborer on a railroad would have the
right to arrest, without a warrant

Editorial Opinion
Cowards or Crooksg


Springfield Union.
The interesting statement is credit
ed to Senator Joseph w. Bailey of Tex
as, that the people in their govern
ment suffer more from towards than
from crooks" The picturesque Tex
as Senator is quoted as saying: II
have been in Congress for almost 20
years and have seen 1000 legislators
come and go. Only a few of them
were aught but honest men. Most of
them, however, we're afraid to let
their conscience or their Judgment
govern their votes. The people seem
to fear venality in public office. They
have more cause to be afraid of COW
ardice." The public. we believe, will
take issue at once with Senator Bailey
on these statements. II, as he asserts,
most of the 1000 Congressman he has
seen come and go in the last 90 years
were afraid to let their conscience
or their judgment govern their votes,
they we're not honest men. They we're
towards, certainly, and If not crooks
In the strict meaning of the term, they
at least we're dishonest with them
selves and with their constituents. 1t
is scarcely believable, however. that
Senator Bailey. if he has been cor
rectly quoted. is accurate in his esti-
mate of the number of legislators who
we're afraid to vote as their conscience
or their judgment dictated. It is our
belief that the number Of such is in
considerable. OF what could they
stand in such fear that they did not
dare to follow the dictates of con-
science? No honest man in Congress
has reason to fear anything more ser1-
Gus than the displeasure Of the con-
stituents who sent him there, and
surely no constituency elects a Con-
gressmm to be a coward or a knave.
We prefer to believe that Senator
Bailey has been misquoted.
