Over in Combstown, of which Mt.
Airy is a suburb, you can spit on the
sidewalks, get your liquor out OF the
express Office at any hour or keep
just as many dogs as you can feed,
but the city has passed an ordinance
by which every man, woman and cnlIo
is prohibited from removing beyond
the corporate limits of the city any
whiskey, wine or nigh-beer, unless
some persons is on the outside OF it.
On last Sunday a nonresident under
took to violate this law by removing
a jug of whiskey while the entire
Combstown population was resting
from the effects Of a strenuous day
and was caught in the act. For his
offense the mayor, each member OF
the city council, chief-of-police and
score Of indignant citizens thrashed
him. It was no mob, but each, sepa-
rately and distinctly, administered
the punishment which is always met
ed out to those who violate the laws
of this progressive and model city.

Baltimore Sun
From the White House comes the
announcement, by way of letter from
the Presidents private secretary, that
the establishment Of general parcels
post system will be recommended by
the President in his next message to
Congress. The President recommend
ed in his message of last December
the adoption of the parcels post on
rural delivery routes, but he seems
to have looked further into the mat
ter, and now stands for it's general
adoption as a part Of the country's
postal system. This announcement
will be received with pleasure by the
people of the country, who have fall
ed to be convinced that system
found so universally satisfactory in
other countries cannot be successful
ly established in the United States.
There can be no question Of the
ability of the Government to estab-
lish a system by which it can carry
parcels for a smaller charge than
those of the express companies, and
that without loss to the department.
The Sun is glad to know that Presi-
dent Taft will urge the adoption OF
/ the system.
