The figures ar not startling rs such things go in our syndicated
control Of public utilities for private profit, but they serve to remind
the country of the long discussed project Of the parcels post. With
such clear evidence of the profits of the business one would naturally
look to a progressive administration to be eager to share in it. But
in place of eagerness we have as much Of hating and hesitation and
shyness as might be expected of a venture into the unknown.
There are some things against which all the powers Of darkness
fight in vain, and this is one Of them. The people arc getting too
much light on the relations of the express business to the parcels post

Had the thing been permissible under our system it would
have been possible during the Roosevelt craze of last spring to have
got thousands Of Republicans to sign a petition to recall President
Taft himself. As for Vice-President Sherman, many Republicans
would have signed a petition to send him to Halifax and Barnes along

wouldn't 1t make you mad to
have your friends and even members
of your own family accuse you OF
having a pretty wife and then have
them learn that 1t was your broth
er's? Well, that very thing happen
ed in Abilene last week. Chester
Toliver has been married to MISS
Emma Britton of Sapulpa, Okla'' Tor
nine months and only his mother
Mrs. L. D. Toliver, and his brother
Garsel have known of the marriage
until Sunday.
Mrs. Toliver had been visiting her
sister in Colorado and stopped Off
at Abilene on her way home to visit
the Toliver family. Her husband
was to have met her here but was
detained at Bartlesville, Okla, on
business. Garsel having known his
new sister-in-law for some time and
having Just returned from Colorado
met his brothers bride at the train
and has for the last week been
showing her good time around ADJ
lene. Friends and the other mem
hers of the Toliver family jumped
at the conclusion that Garsel had
brought home a wife and began to
demand treats and showered him
with congratulations. However,
Chester arrived about this time ana
then exit Garsel. Mrs. Toliver was
then formally introduced Sunday to
the family at dinner at the home
of Chester's parents, Mr.. and MRS.
L. D. Toliver. The treats are on
Chester now and his wide circle OF
friends here are offering congratu-
lations again.
