Parcels Post.

Our democratic United States
senator, who is opposed to the par
cells post, told the convention of i'm
plement dealers that tho most ef,
fective way for them to block parcels
post legislation Is TO convince their
representatives that the people are
against Il. Senators and representa-
tives who do not by this time know
that tho people are not opposed to
parcels post cannot be very OBJ
servant.
The express companies may con-
tinue their specious arguments
against parcels post. but they cannot
hope much longer to delay IL. It Is
coming as sure as the postal savings
bank came. II would have come
long ago. no doubt, had the people
gone TO the trouble OF studying the
question. The mail order house is
the source OF the argument that par
cells post would put the country re-
taller out OF business. but il has had
no such effect in foreign countries.
The small retailer fills a place which
cannot be seriously disturbed by the
parcels post any more than It would
be by a reduction in express rates.
With our great postal machinery
more than adequate TO provide for
the parcels post. it is sheer waste to
continue TO leave the service 10 the
express company combine at extor-
tionate charges. II costs SIG to send

In the Brvan discard

Mr.. Bryan seems to think the only
essential difference between Harmon
and Underwood is that one is old,
the other young, and that Wall
street is yeering It's support around
to the latter on that account OF
course, both have defied Mr.. Bryan;
therefore, both are in his discard.
Should either become the democratic
standard bearer the people will have
only to turn to the files OF the Com
moner to learn that he is the agent
Of predatory wealth; they will not
have to take the word OF the repub-
lloans for that.
MIR. Bryan announced some
months ago that he would perch
himself on the watch tower and cry
out the pitfalls in the line OF demo-
cratic candidates as they swung in
succession before his monitory re-
view. He is keeping his word by
uncovering these two of the three

Mr.. Bryan is not as outspoken as

theoretically leaned toward Folk,
Clark, Hoke Smith and Foss, all of
whom, he doubtless knows. are out
of serious consideration. The dem,
oeratic possibilities for the nomina-

The Sugar Tariff.

The beet sugar men offer rather
good evidence in support OF their
claim that free sugar Is a false
alarm. II removing entirely the duty
from raw sugar benefits the eastern
importer and southern cane sugar
refiner to the detriment Of the vest
ern beet sugar grower, then the duty
had better not ne removed.
Skill has been exerted to make II
appear that the cry for free sugar is
a popular demand, coming from the
consumer, who was TO be the bene-
ficiary. II the beet sugar men are
correct in their claim, thep the con-
sumer, next to the beet men, them
selves, would be the chief sufferers
by such tariff revision. The simple
fact that this free sugar" propa-
ganda is being carried on by the
large eastern and southern refining
interests, in itself betokens an ul-
terror purpose.
A few years ago sugar beet cul-
turo promised to become one Of the
great agricultural pursuits In the
west and north and beet sugar maxi
ing one OF the great manufacturing
Industries. California, Colorado,
Utah, Nebraska, Wisconsin and other
states began to see visions OF inn
monse resources as result OF this
new industry, when of a sudden the
impulse gave way and tho progress
was cut short. Today we are produc-
ing only 100000 tons OF beet sugar in
the entire country, large amount
to be sure, as compared with 5000
back IN 1897, but nothing as COM
pared with the possibilities, reckon
Ing on the official statement that
there arc 247,O0O,OOO acres of land
highly adapted to sugar beets in this
country. II all this land, or even
half of It, we're under cultivation to
beets the production of beet sugar
would soon be mounting up TO sew
eral times 100000 tons a year.
While we arc engaged in the prof
table pursuit of scientific tariff re-
vision we can afford to give this sub
tect the most careful consideration.
II it be found that the beet sugar
industry, in it's incipiency. were
choked by. the larger cane sugar re-

Tacklinr the Trnst Problem.


Former President Roosevelt gets
az the trust problem in his charac-
teristic manner, justifyfng. without
equivocation. everything he did as
president with reference to enforce
ment OF the Sherman law, and reit-
Grating his proposal for supplement
tary legislation for administrative
regulation by the federal govern
ment Of all corporations doing inter-
state business. To those who are not
frightened by the boyle OF centrsllza-
ton, nor enamored OF the unwork-
bic theory Of states rights, the pro-
gram outlined by Colonel Roose-
welt will appeal with much force.
Many plans. OF dealing with the
trust problem have been proposed,
principal among them the following:
J. Total eradication Of corporate
combinations by drastic federal and
state legislation.
To stop restraint OF trade this
would also throw away every ad-
vantage of doing business on a large
scale.
2. State regulation, leaving each
state TO apply It's own remedy.
This would compel large corpora
tons to comply with forty-eight diff
ferent sets Of rules and regulations.
3. Both federal and state rogula-
ton.
This would make forty-nine sets
Of rules and regulations instead OF
forty-eight
T. Federal regulation by law
suit, ultimately by tho United States
supreme court.
This is substantially what We have
now, oxcmpllfied by tho Standard
OIL and Tobacco cases.
8. Federal regulation by admin
istrativo bureau.
This IS what Mr.. Roosevelt advo-
Gates as tho only practical solution.
Most other methods OF treatment
arc notifications or combinations of
these, whose mere enumeration is
sufficient 20 suggest the difficulties
presented. This much, however,
seems plsin---that the logic of events
and the intrinsic nature OF interstate
traffic and commerce compels cen.
tralization of authority and respon.
sibility, making successful state reg.
ulation impossible except for purely
local concerns.
