SELL CHILDREN FoR BREAD

Pathetic stories are told of the pri-
walton. suffering and want in the fam
inc sections Of China. The starving
people resort to the most desperate
means TO obtain food.
Some of them have been known to
sell their wives and children for bread.
Writing from the famine district, Rev.
e. E. Lobenstine says:
Saddest OF all has been the sale Of
women and children. Even in China it
is generally considered disgraceful for
man to sell his wife, and the sale
cannot take place openly. This year
not only does the sale take place OPEN
ly, but the purchaser Is even regarded
as benevolent man, no matter how
nefarious his object in the purchase
may be- Those most in demand are
girls from the ages of IL to 16. Most
Of these are bought as slaves for lives
of degradation. One is contantly see
ing children offered for sale on the
streets. A child under 10 can be
bought for anywhere from a dime to
quarter. and of course many are
given away IL the parents can find
some one who will promise to support
them

NORTH VS.. SOUTH DAKOTA.

Great interest Is taken by North
Dakotans in the organization of Sioux
county out Of the Standing Rock reser-
walton. 1t is fertile section of the
state and there has been a great deal
of agitation over the county seat.
One element insists on the head
quarters for the county government
being located at a point to be reached
by the Northern Pacific from the pres
ent Mandan- Mott line. Another favor
ed a place to which the Milwaukee
would build from the south. a
The N, P. has promised to con-
struct an extension. This viii prob
ably mean the capture of the county
seat and that all business will be done
through North Dakota. Had the Mil
waukee been constructed to the town
selected for the county seat all the
business would have gone through
South Dakota.
There are already many towns on
the Milwaukee main line and branches
in the southwestern part of the state
that are cut off from the other sections
OF North Dakota. They are more trib-
utary to South Dakota and the twin
cities.

PARCELS POST.

The New York Journal of Commerce
sizes UP the situation rather accurately
in the following:
One Of those conventions is meeting
in Washington which are held there
frequently during the session of con-
gress for the purpose OF influencing
legislation in some particular line. The
nominal purpose OF this gathering is
the discussion of postal questions'':
but, as II is backed by the Postal
Progress league, IL is safe assump-
ton that its one real object is to pro-
mote the adoption OF parcels post
system. Opposition to this is attrib-
uted mainly to the express companies
and the railroads which have profit
able arrangements with the express
companies, but that should not be al
lowed to obscure real objections to the
system.
The express companies are in no
small measure responsible for the agl-
tation, and 1t received a new impulse
at the time OF the strike Of drivers
which interrupted their service a few
months ago. If their charges upon
small parcels were not Unfortunately
high, and If their service were better
regulated with view to accommodate
ing the public, there would be no such
demand for the government to 60 into
the business of distributing parcels of
merchandise over the country at a
fixed rate for all distances. The need
Is rather to have express charges prop
erly regulated than to have the gov
eminent go into competition with the
companies. Considering the length of
mail routes in this country, the cost of
transportation and the present defec-
tive management of such a widely ex-
tended business, there IL no probability
that this service could be economical
" rendered. At charge which would
be fair for short distances, but would
be the same for the longest 1t would
add to the postal deficit and the cost
would be iflequitably distributed Those
who sent parcels fifty or 100 miles
would help to pay for the delivery Of
others 1000 or 1000 miles away.
An objection that is too little thought
OF il the effect upon the distribution OF
retail trade If express companies are
the chief opponents of the system, the
mail order houses and department
stores OF the cities are the chief back
ers OF its advocates. They desire to
get the government To extend their de-
livery service to all distances over the
country for a moderate and uniform
charge. BY this means and the rural
