THE PARCELS POST THAT WILL
PAY

1t is amusing to note the opposition
to. parcels post because it will not
pay, when the government Is carry
ing small parcels at a postal rate to-
dav in some instances 33 Ia per cent
higher than express charges, and the
express companies are paying divi-
dends of from 100 to 400 per cent.
The maker of the Lewis parcel post
bill, which is now under consideration
in congress, points out that the aver
age charge for carrying a ton of ex-
press in Argentina is 1851, and for
the caun tries of Europe $412, while
the average express company charge
in the United States is s31.2O. They
charge 8 times as much to carry
ton of express as a ton of freight in
other countries. Here the express
companies charge 16 times as much.
OF course, these charges simply pro-
hibit by half or more of the traffic in
the United States. Our average is
less than one hundred pounds per
capita, while that of the other coun-
tries is over two. hundred pounds per
capita, although we have far greater
demand for quick transport on ac-
count of our longer distances and
more extensive business.
Mr.. Lewis has worked out sys-
tenn of zones based on scientific
methods. from which fvepound
package, for instance, can be sent 196
miles for IL cents, while the express
companies now charge 20 cents and
more for like distances from Calais,
Me-, to San Francisco, will cost 80
cents for five pounds, and 1852 for
80 pounds, as against the express
company charge of So cents and $3.50.
With the rural free delivery a part
of the express system, an agricultural
parcels post will market the farmers
produce and save them the time and
labor of marketing their truck.
The advocates for a parcels post are
for a system that will not only be
self-supporting, but that will hasten
the day of one-cent postage.

A CHANCE FOR A souAssLE.

The enemies of public utility 1egis-
fation must be pleased by the present
condition of things with the house and
senate antagonized. With reference
10 the merits of the bills passed, the
governor has spoken. Governor Bald
win thinks the utilities bill passed by
the senate treported by the minority
of the committee) is little better
than the bill passed by the house (the
Banks-Davenport bili). Both are con-
stitutional. he thinks, SO that bugbear
il removed. But he does not consider
either OF these bills as good as the bill
recommended by the commission ap-
pointed by Governor Woodruff
Since there is so small difference
between these measures it ought not
10 be difficult for the two houses to
in conference agree to one of them
1t is toe bad for the people to have
to see a law enacted upon such an
important matter because it is better
than no law, instead of a law which
meets the case firmly and squarely,
and by the passage of which the pub
lie interests will be fully served.

A GOOD CITIZENS DAY.

Since we have Mothers day and va
rious other days, some ambitious soul
is now advocating a Good Citizens
day.
Fourth of July and Labor day are
two good citizens days; every Sunday
should be; and there appears to be no
reason why every day shouldn't be a
good citizens day.
The good citizen is the man who
honcrs himself by honoring industry
and honoring every good work and
every good law and he is honored all
the while he is doing this.
The good citizen is not asking for
any special honors, for it is his priv
ilese to increase his own honor and
worth by comforting special honors
upon all deserving of them.
1t doesn't look as II a special day
devoted to him would be anything but
. false pretence-a waste of time
for the good citizen glorihes and is
glsrffed by every day.

As to SILK Gloves

Silk gloves in color as well as white,
are worn much this season, and a SEN
sfble fashion il is. Not only are the
silk gloves infinitely cooler than those
of kid. but they are much more eco
nomfcal. for they may be easily wash
ed. To wash them. use only pure white
soap and tepid water Rinse well n
tepid water. and then hang in a dark
place to dry. White gloves soon grow
yellow if exposed to the light while
wet, and the more delicate shades will
fade 1t is wise to wash the gloves at
night, and hang them in closet to
dry Then in the morning they will be
quite ready to wear.

Senator Robert Z. Proctor, speak

There are now IL saloons in the

but recently voted wet mostly be-
cause OF the regulation act. These
saloons pay the maximum license

the city. Formerly there were be-
fweer twenty Eve and thirty saloons
but they were not so well conducted
as Under the present regulations. at
least this is the opinion of the law
cficeys. The city is entitled to .:
saloons under the limitations OF one 10
1.Qee of population, but several app,i-
cations for license were rltrneI down
The saloons obey the law strictly,
closing at IL o'clock Saturday nights
and keeping closed until Monday
morning at ;. and no liquor is to be
had in saloons during the prohibited
hours. This was not the case for

places have been taken out, and liquor
selling is confined to the room speci-
fed in the license. / am city attor-
