New Jersey Finals.

The primaries In New Jersey to-
day practically marks the windup, so
far az the republican contest goes. OF
the pre-convention struggle for ma
tional convention delegates. One
more delegation. that OF South Da-
kota. will be chosen by direct vote,
but the personal campaign OF the
candidates will probably close with
the New Jersey contest. In view OF
the claims OF both camps of having
already more than enough TO nomi-
nate, the outcome today will hardly
be accepted by either as determining
the result OF the convention. al

TOLL OF THE WATER WAGON.

Caution for Autois..

Without waiting for another mum
dation Of severe or fatal accidents,
The Bee ventures again to caution
autoists as to the restrictions upon
reckless driving imposed by Law. Our
Nebraska statutes not only limit
speed to a rate that win not endan-
ger life and limb. but require slow
ing down on approaching an intersec-
tion OF highways. or a bridge. or a
curve or a steep descent or passing
another vehicle. to not to exceed
eight miles an hour outside Of cities
and villages and not to exceed six
miles an hour inside city limits. The
law goes further with this provision:

caribbean Independsnce in Balane.

Caribbean Independence in Balance.
Three kinds Of government are
represented In the Caribbean, In re-
lstion to the United States. Cuba en-
joys national independence; Santa
Domingo is dependent upon the
United States to the extent that we
have oversight and direction OF its
customs houses and finance; Porto
Rico Is completely under American
authority. having no separate status
OF its own. II is quite the general
belief that unless conditions change
soon, Cuba will find It's government
In transition to one or the other OF
these two forms.
Twice Cuba has been placed on
probation by Uncle Sam and IL the
little ward compels its patient old
uncle to take II in hand a third time,
It probably will be subjected to a new
treatment. That IL what another
Intervention will mean. II the sense
Of Washington is rightly interpreted.
although IL does not yet appear neces-
sary to treat Cuba precisely the same
as Porto Rico.
The fact remains, however, that II
we want to make the Monroe doc
trine effective on other powers. the
United States must apply that doc
trine as a preventive measure in some
such way as 1t has done with Santa
Domingo and as was proposed in the
Honduran and Nicaraguan conven-
lions which the senate has recently
defeated. These countries are not
strong enough TO do without outside
financial backing and the United
States cannot afford to let them take
on obligations to Europe without
limit which we might later have TO
shoulder in order to keep American
territory intact. SO II Cuba wants to
avoid a protectorate. II must prove
equal to Its task OF self-government.

Bringing Parcels Post Nearer.

Postmaster General Hitehcock's
endorsement Of the Bourne parcels
post bill, which as yet has not been
acted on by either the house or the
senate, should help pave the way for
some completed legislation along this
important line By the present con-
gress. The postmaster general finds
that this measure Is broad enough
to benefit all sections and interests.
II is a very skillfully designed bill in
the technique OF its operative ar
rangement. II divides the entire
country into zones and provides a
simple, artful rate-computing plan.
For instance, in the transmission of
an article from Omaha to Denver. we
find that Omaha Is in zone A-23,
say. and Denver In zone or square
B-32. Applying a mathematical rule.
we have the rate almost instantly, as
each square represents a certain
carrying charge.
In principle. this bill is calculated
to favor local business while doing no
great violence to the larger trade.
OF course the express companies keep
their literary agents busy exploiting
the empty argument that parcels post
would tend to eentralize trade in the
big cities and that Capitalization Of
trade in the great cities resulting
from a growth OF the mail order bust
ness is national menace of far
reaching proportions"
This specious plea contains but one
apparent truth, namely, that II there
were national menace. IL would
very naturally be ''far-reaching. be-
ang national. But, in the first place.
this parcels post measure is not de-
signed especially TO benefit the mail
order houses and would not benefit
them proportionateIy as much as It
would the local trade. One of these
express company writer's. discussing
the ''Perils OF Parcels Post" even
argues that II would in time ALSO
'lutely destroy the small merchant In
the country town and force all his
customers TO move to the populous
centers, But parcels post in other
countries has not so operated and is
not likely TO work differently here.
