in the central portion of the United
States for the location of Industries;
that the mercantile industries OF the
country were now paying practically
four.ifths of the first-class postage;
that the cheap magazines supported
by the advertising of retail mail order
houses and entering the mails at less
than cost of carriage to the govern
ment had raised the clamor for par
cells post; that there was no real in
terest for this upon the part OF the
farmers; that the Postal Progress
League employed paid solicitors to
obtain signatures of the objections for
parcels post: that such a system
would revolutionize the time-tried and
experience-pr0ven methods now IN
vogue and would tend to centralize the
wealth of the country in large cities
to the damage of the mercantile and
industrial intrsts of the smaller Giles
and towns, with depreciation of the
property values, including the lands
around the same.
While the retail mercantile organi-
cations were most numerously repre-
scented by officers in person, the pow
erful organizations composed of the
principal wholesale firms and many OF
the leading manufacturers OF the
country were also represented in the
American League of Associations. This
great organization comprises leading
firms in all the principal cities in the
United States. 1t has headquarters
at 343 Rand-McNally building, Chica-
co. John V. Farwell of Chicago is
president; w. D. Simmons of St. Louis
is vice president and D. r. Forgan of
the City National Bank of Chicago is
treasurer. E. B. Moon is the execu!
tive secretary and by common consent
of the organizations has had general
direction of the cause of opposition
to parcels post. Mr.. Moon has shown
himself a capable and resourceful
manager. His former home was at
South Bend. Ind. He has had consid-
cradle experience in politics and large
experience in the direction OF import
mt mercantile houses. He told the
committee how this organization
was formed in response to the appeal
of retail merchants in the smaller
cities and towns of the country for as
sistance in protecting the local inter-
ests of such communities from being
handicapped by legislation which
would operate subsidy to the retail
mail order houses. Mr.. Moon showed
in his address, that whatever inflicted
injury upon the mercantile interests of
such towns and cities damaged the
general interests of such communities
and was reflected in the depreciation
of property including that of the land
surrounding the same.
1t is believed that like investiga-
ton is probable in the senate. The
general opinion is that no parcels
post legislation will be enacted hastily
that the Importance of the subject has
necessitated most thorough examina-
ton and deliberation before any one
of these bills becomes a law.

COUNTRY MAN TO TOWN
AND SEES THE SIGHTS

FARGO, N. D., July 2O.-A man
named Babcock, who resides in the
country, was the victim of mysteri
GUS robbery some time Tuesday night.
He was stopping at one of the hotels
and had a room and went to bed some
time mean the midnight hour. He is
certain that he had $40 in bills in his
pocket when he went to his room.
Yesterday morning he went over to
the bank to get his money charged
into small denominations and when
he opened his pocketbook he found
therein some paper instead of the $40.
A close examination of the room he
occupied shows that it was an utter
impossibility for him to have been
robbed in his room, and it is supposed
that he lost his money somewhere else.
