COLUMBUS NEVER DISCOVERED
AMERICA.

A new historic view has just now
been promulgated-that Christie
pher Columbus was a Jew? Prof.
Hyland G. Kirk, President of the
Secular League, Washington, D. c.,
in very neat pamphlet of 62 pages.
has endeavored to prove to an as
tonished world, that the great dis
coverer of this Western Continent
was a Jew, and has shown no little
ingenuity in his effort. But I do
not think he has succeeded. Even
II he was a Jew, perhaps the Jews
would not be very eager to claim
him, remembering that he would be
considered by them only as a rene
gade, having abandoned his paternal
religion throughout his whole life,
and given all the glory Of his dis
coveries to stianity-leading
also very impure Hfe-and show
ing himself cruel and heartIess to-
ward the innocent and unoffending
natives of the New World
The Jews have never claimed him,
and l think they will cheerfully re-
nounce all right and title to him
his glory and his immortality!
The knights of Columbus, a Ro-
man Catholic Order, have just now,
June, 1912, unveiled a statue in
honor of Columbus, at cost of
100000, given them by the United
States Congress, for that purpose;
and they claim that the United
States should belong to the Romish
Hierarchy by right of discovery. Yet
Columbus never set foot in North
America, and never saw it's coast
line. 1t was on the oath of June,
1897, before Columbus had yet seen
the mainland even of South Ameri-
ca, that John Cabot, a merchant of
Bristol, England, and his son, Sebas-
tian, commissioned by Henry VII, of
Protestant England, to sail on a
voyage of discovery, reached what
is now called New Foundland.

How New Parcels Post Will Work

hampers must be determined and
advertisements issueu for their pur-
chase.
1.-The law provides that postage
on all parcels shall be prepaid by
affixing distinctive stamps This
will necessitate the designing and
printing Of at least a dozen denomi-
nations of special stamps, ranging in
value from 1c to 81. Provision for
the collection on delivery of the
price of a parcel must be made.
Regulations governing this phase of
the system already are being pre-
pared.
THE law provides indemnifca-
ton for lost or damaged articles
and since many of the articles to be
carried will be fragile or perishable,
the question of indemnity is one for
careful regulation.
'"The system Of distance zones re-
quires the employment by postmas-
ters Of a distinctive postal map on
which the zones are represented.

rangements are being made for the

ton in the United States may be

tory of all offices is being compiled
for use in applying the prescribed
rates of postage to the distances
shown on the zone maps.
The question Of adequate trans
portation and terminal facilities for
the parcels post mail on railway and
steamship lines and in the city
wagon service will have to be
worked out with such care as to in
sure the prompt movement of such
mail and to prevent a possible con-
gestion of the ordinary mail"
1t is realized by Mr.. Hitchcock
that it is important at the outset to
provide for sufficient additional
equipment and transportation facili-
ties to avoid any possible clogging
Of the usual mail channels. This
involves one Of the most serious
problems now confronting the postal
officials as a result of the taking
over Of so large a volume of addi-
tional mail.-Co-Operator.

MONEY AND MAIDENs.

A red hot Roman Catholic is de-
luging me with arguments, sophis-
tries and statistics in an expressed
endeavor to make me hold a brief
for his church.
And | can not convince him that
I should not be an attorney for his
side of the case, spite of the fact
that there are more than $4,000 Ro-
man Catholic clergymen, abbots,
archabbots, bishops, archbishops and
cardinals in the United States to de-
fend Romanism.
My Roman Catholic friend assures
me that the Roman church main
tains 285 orphan asylums, 696 aca-
denies for girls, 225 schools for
boys, and hospitals more than he
can number. He insists that it is
the greatest charitable organization
on earth, and he knows it is the
only recognized church of God be-
cause he was born and raised to be-
lieve as much.
And then he fires an astounding
argument at me, to the effect that
Roman Catholic women are more
virtuous than women under the lax
influences of Professionalism.
I have heard that talk about Ro-
man Catholic women before. l am
not ready to believe that he should
waste any slobber over it. Why

e EVERAL weeks ago the Co.
Operator called attention to
the imminent likelihood of
passing parcels post bill by
Congress, which would not serve the
best interest Of the people. The
people, however, seemed content to
remain asleep on the subject and
the Bourne Parcels Post Bill was
passed during the closing days of
Congress and will go into effect next
January.
To be sure, the parcels posi- as
contemplated by the bill will be
better than none, but still it will
give the people very little relief
from the express companies, unless
they take the trouble to let the
Government carry their packages at
rates not differing greatly from
what the express companies charge.
The parcels post bill will become
effective Jan. l, 1913, and Senator
Bourne has prepared the following
statement on the workings of the
law:
Any article is mailable if not over
II pounds in weight nor more than
" inches in length and girth COM
blned, not likely to injure the mails
or postal equipment or employees.
Flat rate of 1 cent per ounce up
to four ounces regardless of dis
lance.

the pound or fraction thereof, and

to locate the enemy, but the bird had
flown. Only the dead and a few
wounded were lying in the positions
which yesterday the rebels had held in
the mountain pass here.
A badly torn railroad north of the
canyon indicated that as heretofore
the rebels had withdrawn, destroying
the railroad behind them as they pro-
ceeded.

retreat after his troops had been sub

the race a success and as a whole very
enjoyable.
The Elizabeth was delayed on the

he will rule in the city of Chihuahua
and nowhere else. It Is the rebels In
tention to cut the railroad in every di-
rectton around the city as soon as the
federals enter, which, however, will be
delayed several days because several
bridges for a distance OF forty miles
will have been destroyed between Ba-

can make life niserable for the SOL

The rebels are not exactly prepared
to split into guerilla bands. They will
