As the Oregon representative of
the National Editorial Association
permit me to express the thanks of
the members thereof to the Capital

WHAT EXCUSE NOW?
Atlantic Georgian.

Delay is not confined to the judicial
department Of our government alone,
though it is the vogue now to complain
of the slow processes of courts. The
trial of the Chicago packers is given
the place OF shining example.
But the courts are not the only Of
tenders. There's congress
If it has taken the courts under the
Sherman law 20 years to bring trust
to civil judgment and a trust organizer
to criminal trial, how long has it taken
congress to give the people a parcels
post2
The only answer possible is that con
gress hasn't done it yet, though the de-
mand for it has come down through the
decades.
And the excuse that came down
with it was: "The postoilice depart
ment is head over heels in debt Every
year it shows a big deficit
But that excuse now has not where
to lay its head nor where TO place it's
feet. There is no longer deficit, but
surplus in the postohtce department,
and a surplus, too, OF $2l9,0OO accord
ing to the report Of Secretary Hitch
cock, Two years ago the deficit
amounted TO more than $1,000, GOO
Not only have the people been insist
ent in demanding parcels post, but SO
for a number Of years has been the
postoHice department itself, at least
for the beginning Of the parcels sys em.
Here. then, we have The people want
ing the parcels post and the postoaice
department wanting it, and having the
money, too, to start it on. Then why
don Z we sc, it? Let congress answer

seventeen states were victims of con-
spiracy which extended from coast to

which organized labor may play a
prominent part. California is likely to
contribute freely to the list of Grimm
