ANOTHER PLEA FOR PARCELS
POST

My Dear Mr.. Watson: | believe in
you and you are doing a good educa-
t1Onal work and one much needed
through your papers. If we had more
public spirited men working on the
same lines and doing it as fearlessly
and as honestly, our country would
soon be in better fix, politically, for
we would have better, hOnester pub
lie servants to our laws, and said
laws, when made, would be more
honestly executed.
Mr. Watson, can't you help us to
get the Parcels Post law through?
Not as Mr.. Hitchcock recommends
and President Taft approves, which
would be no help to the farmers at
all, but place us more than ever at
the mercy of the express companies.
Not only that, it would make mere
messenger boys, for the express peo-
pie, of our rural carriers. No; we
farmers don't want that. We want
Whole-hearted, all the way through
Parcels Post law. Not what is term
ed Parcels Post, limited. That is,
have the R. F. D. men fetch and
carry on their routes and express
companies to pay, as we do now.
In looking over your paper Of Jan.
18th, [ see one of the best pieces I
have read in a long time, entitled,
"Children's Courts and Societies. by
L.. A. L. [ surely would love to
shake hands with Mrs. Lytle on all
she says in that piece. AS she says,
Telling parents their duty is a
thankless task" but it is true, never
theless. So many bad, unruly chill
dren is the aftermath of uncontrolled
children and carelessly raised chill
dren. Children are not naturally bad
but they all need thoughtful super
vision. Most children, nowadays, are
pulled too green" Are simply turn
ed loose too young. The trend of all
teaching for the last thirty years has
been, "Let the child have a good
time" and all such. And see the re-
suit. Children should have the good
time all the good there is, but they
should also have the advantage of a
little wise headwork from their eld-
ers. This thing Of raising a family
OF children is a big job and it takes
up all of WOman's time she has
no time for society or business, out
side the home. And, [ am sorry to
say, the trend Of the times is and has
been for number of years, to take
woman away from the home and
children, the rich leaving hers with
any kind of nurse she can hire,
and the poor, who have no money to
hire any, leaves hers in the streets.
l.. A. L., give us some more. We
need it. The thinking mothers who
read after you are with you.
MRS. H. M. PRINCE.

THERE ARE MORN1ONs IN GEOR-

Mr.. Thos E. Watson.-Dear Sir:
For several years l have enioved
reading your books and literature and
L know you are man of much learn
ing. | admire the fearless spirit
which you manifest in defending
right, no matter who be in the wrong,
am not subscriber to The Jeffer-
sOnIan, but my father-in-law is and I
ENJOY reading your paper; and l
notice an article in January 26th
number, on page twelve, "The Nor
mons and the British Government"
I do not know who the author is, but
they are very much mistaken in some
things about US.
am a Mormon" as we are called,
and know for myself that our mis-
sionaries-if they live as they are
taught and as<he gospel they preach
teaches us, they are pure, high
minded men. Of course, a Judas is
found now and then, but every true
Mormon is the best kind of citizen,
and the British government has no
need OF worry on account of our mis-
sionaries. And they say our mission
aries make rapid progress among
the poor and uneducated." That is
SOOu, DuG we, IOO, nave converts OF
people who are highly educated.
The complaint makes me think of
the charge against the Savior, when
they said He kept company with pub
licans and sinners. If the poor are
more willing to hear the Gospel than
the wealthy, we are glad to give it
to them
1t is charged that young women
who join the church in England are
persuaded to come over here and are
promised husbands and homes" and
are shipped over here by the hun
dred." This conveys the idea that
our missionaries are hunting women
and ''ship'' them here, and that, too,
for slaves or a worse purpose. If any
honest hearted person will investi-
gate, they will find this to be false
against us. Our oppressors have
never been successful in disproving
our claim from the scriptures, SO they
resort to falsehOOd and SANDER. A
true "MOrmOn" woman is the highest
example of purity and virtue, and the
men are the same. We are trying to
lead pure lives, as the Gospel teaches
us; and to love our nelghbOrs as our
selves, do unto others as we would
have them do unto us, speak evil Of
no one and mind our own business.
If the people wish to know the
truth about us, let them come to us
and not to our enemies.

Shipping God according to the dictates
of our own cOnsciences and allow all
men the same privilege, let them
worship how, where or what they
may"

Huron. Following a period OF forty
seven years continuous service, John
H. Burke has resigned from the en-
ploy of the Chicago and Northwestern
Re ilway company. Mr.. Burke came to
Huron with his family on the compile
ton of the North Western line from
Tracy to this city, he having charge
of the construction, and making this
city his home since that time. He en-
tered the employ of the company when
II years old, as a brakeman. Later
he was assigned to other work, and for
a number Of years was roadmaster for
the Minnesota division, formerly the
Winona-St. Peter division. Before
coming here he was a conductor, and
later assistant division superintendent,
but for more than fourteen years Mr..
Burke has been roadmaster of the Da-
kota division, and at the time of his
resignation was the oldest man in con-
tinuous service in the employ of the
North Western company. His retire.
ment is at his personal request. After
a trip with his wife to eastern and
sout.-ern localities Mr.. Burke will re
turn to Huron and enjoy well-earned
rest.

$4,000 IN ONE YEAR
THE IMMIGRATION TO CANADA
sURPAssEs ALL RECORD.

The returns recently issued BY the
Canadian immigration Branch shows
that upwards Of $4,000 persons ar
rived in Canada during the past
twelve months, declaring their intenr
ton Of becoming settlers in that coun-
try. OF this number about 10000
were from the United States, the bal
ance being from the British Isles and
Northern Europe. It will thus be seen
that the sturdy farming element that
has gone forward from the United
States Is being splendidly supplement-
cd by an equally sturdy settlement
from across the seas. The lure Of
Canadian wheat, oats. barley and max
grown on the rich prairie Of Western
Canada Is constantly attracting more
and more, and year by year the tide
Of immigrants to the Western Canada
plains increases; there is no ebb to
this tide. The Canadian authorities
are not surprised at the number from
the United States being as large as 1t
10 but they did not look for so large an
immigration from the old countries.
Still. they will not be found unpre-
pared. Reception halls are in readi-
ness at all important points In Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, sur
veyors were at work during the past
season opening up new districts on
which to place those seeking free
homesteads Of 100 acres each, rail-
ways have been projecting laterals
from their main lines, and every pro
vision has been taken to accomm0-
date the newcomer. A recent dis
patch from Antwerp reads: THE d.
version Of European emigration from
the United States to Canada is said
to be seriously affecting the Atlantic
steamship lines. The Red Star today
gives up to the America-Canada line
two Of the best special emigrant
steamers afloat, the Cortland and the
Samland. These vessels heretofore
In the Antwerp-New York service are
now to be operated from Rotterdam to
Canadian ports"
On the date of the above dispatch
word came to the immigration branch
that the Vanguard Of the 1911 army
Of United States settlers reached Win.
