Fargo
Express Rates

The Wells-Fargo Express com
pany has a ravenous appetite for
profits. In the old days ii used to
be positively u%ncivil: sharp compe-
tition has polished up its
to some extent, but the figures un-
earthed by the California railroad
commission show there is plenty OF
room for more competition i'll this
state. Wells Fargo seem TO have a
hotch-potch of rates based upon
what the traffic will bear, as is evinr-
ed in the example presented where,
by it is shown that the same pack
age which i sent rom Los Angeles
to Helmet for 81 may be sent from
Lodi to San Francisco, a distance
OF one mile further. for 80 cents. The
commission has found out that the
Wclls-Fargo company realizes be-
tween 200 and 400 per cent profit
on its investments in this state. and
that the average monthly profit is
around $4,000.
The railroads get 40 per cent of
the express company charges. and
90 per cent is retained for merely
receiving and delivering the package,
with a comparatively small outlay Of
equipment.
WilliamR. Wheeler. traffic expert
engaged by the San Francisco
chamber OF commerce. says that
practically the same condition exists
in every state as that which the
railroad commission found in Cali
%fornia, and that there is no basis
of scheduled rates on which the
charges are made.
Now that the parcel post is GER
tain the express companies are rails
ing their piteous cry about being
driven out of business. There is no
occasion for them to plead for
mercy with such facts and figures
at hand; they haven't been doing a
business at all, but rather practicing
systematic MISREPRESENTATION Mail.

Explaining the
Parcel Post

1t will take people time to be
come accustomed to The operation OF
the parcel post, and practical expert
ence must come in to supplement all
educational processes. 1t Is we'll
enough to tell people how to do a
thing, but they will never thorough
" understand it until they become
Infatuated to doing 4. When the
parcel post comes into operation on
January lst next, the shipper will
save Is per cent on the present ex-
press rates on long distance ship
ments, and about 100 per cent on
local delivery. On short distance
shipments the saving will be still
higher. This will be a great reduc-
ton. but it is a higher rate than is
charged for the same service in
England and on the continent.
France was the first country to
adopt the parcel post as early as
l643. England was the second n-,
ton to establish it in 1883. Since
the latter date its use has been ex-
tended to nearly every country III
the civilized world. The United
States has been the laggard, and
only decided to adopt the service
recently, There is, of course, a rea-
son for this. The express companies
had their representatives in the
United States senate, who were able
to defeat this much needed legisla-
ton. The late Thomas c. Plat.
while in the senate. represented not
a constituency. but merely the ex-
press companies and allied interests.
OF course such a condition of affairs
was disgraceful, but it spent is force.
and finally the people were strong
enough TO overthrow this malign
power. There will possibly be some
confusion in the parcel post business
for a time, but what has been useful
and a saving to other countries will
be useful and a saving to this coun-
ty. The battle was a long one and
the victory is cause for ccngratula-
tions.-Memphis News-Scimitar.

THE CHARM OF MEMORY

Elizabeth Woodbridge in the Atlantic
 Monthly.
 The charm of memory lies. I think. in the quality which it gives things. at once of intimacy and remoteness. The fascila- ton to us of recalling our past selves. our former surroundings, lies in our sense that they are absolutely known to us, vet absolutely out of our reach. We can recall places, houses, rooms, until every detail lives again. We can turn from one thing to another and, as we look at each. To, it is there, It has a reality moro poignant than the hand that we touch or the flower that we smell Sometimes, il is true, present experiences, even as they occur, have something of this quality. They do not need to recede into the past to gain this slamor. Certain places have it: cathedrals sometimes, and still lakes. Certain things foster it--frelight, and sl- lence. and the steady fall of rain Certain moments give birth to 1.-the luminous pause between sundown and dusk, after noon with it's slant of light through deep grass or across a quiet river. This. fancy, was what Tennyson was thinking of when he called the lotus land the land ''wherein it seemed always afternoon. In that land these magic moments were prolonged, and thus 1t became the land of reminiscence.

NH. KNOX DECLINES

From Anniston Star and Hot Blast.
 The decision on the part of Hon. John B. Knox of this city not to accept the appointment of Governor O'Neal as asso- ciate justice on the supreme court of Alabama to succeed the late R. T. Simp- son has caused considerable surprise over the state, and it is the consensus of opin- ion that the state is the loser by reason of this decision.
 Mir. Knox possibly has no superior be- fore the Alabama bar and his appoint ment brought forth words of commenda- tion from every section of the state; but it has been generally known that if he decided to accept the positon,- he would do so at a sacrifice both financial and otherwise. Hence, no one can justly blame him for his action in the matter. In Anniston his decision will be greeted with pleasure. for his acceptance of the honor would have meant his removal to Montgomery. while he will now continue to make his home here.
 In the appointment of Judge F. n deGraffenreid, who has been a member of the appellate court since it's creation Governor ONeal has again done well for if he accepts the appellate justice vii honor the supreme court, and his opln- ions win carry weight.

Wasted Multi-Millions

The Providence Journal is one of the fairest of papers. It is rarely, if ever, provincial or narrow or unjust, and it does not mean to be unreasonable when it lectures the people of the south upon their refusal to put money in their stockings as the French and Dutch do. It goes on to say that Massachusetts, citizens are substan- tially richer for all time after year of cotton manufacturing when the only gain obtained is the profit on manu- factures valued at one hundred and fifty million dollars or so"
 The south collects billion dollars annually from cotton and then lets it melt away, "no northern man can tell how" The old order, says the Jour- nal has passed away, and yet the southern people cannot keep their gains. The south, it says, secures it's vast cotton money but finds no rela- lively proportional increase of eco- homie advantage.
 There is a great deal of truth in all this. The people of the south are not prudent in the sense that the people of Massachusetts or the people of France outside of Paris are. The south is visited each year by what the Journal calls an inundation of wealth and yet in the following spring it has little or nothing to show for it. In the fall trey have no money to move their crops, and when they desire to build new cotton mill they turn to the thrifty people in Massachusetts and adjoining states for the needed capital
 An honest confession is good for the soul, and the south as one whole is forced to admit that it's immense cotton riches do not tarry long where they raise. Some of the money goes to the farmers of the middle west for supplies that should be raised in the south; some of it goes to northern in- surance companies; some of it to rail roads owned in Me north and in Flu rope; some of it here and some of it there, and very little of it is really left in the south.
 The Journal thinks some divine discontent" should enter the minds of the southern people. So it should un- til the hookworm is eradicated, and the public schools are brought up to the standard of the most progressive states. All else would then follow in due time.

Migration of the Boil Weevil

The boil weevil's migration this year has been rapid in south Alabama, slow in the black belt, and nil in all of the state lying north of that great fertile section Assistant States Entomolo- gist Dew says the pest has in south Alabama migrated 73 miles eastward, having passed Florida by two miles, and all of Covington county will prob- ably be covered by it before frost comes. And this means that south Georgia will be invaded by the in sect next year. Mir. Dew says the weevil-infested district now extends to Thomaston, in Marengo county Camden in Wilcox county, and Geor- giana in Butler county. In the black belt proper it has spread verSabou' t5 miles, whereas in South Alabama it's flights have been extended 7s miles.
 All of the state north of the black belt remains immune, and perhaps the upper half of this state-the ter ritory lying north of Montgomery county-will be troubled very little by the Mexican pest, if any at all The state entomologist may not bs ready to accept so sweeping a con clusion, but the story of this year cer- tainly indicates that the upper half oi Alabama will raise cotton severa years yet without molestation iron the pest that has travelled all the way from the Rio Grande to worry tn, farmers of the cotton belt.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-10-09

to Birmingham's trade with foreign countries, because of the advantage in freight rates. It would also be big factor in building up greater com merce for Mobile, for the freight from the Birmingham district brought here on barges, would have to be placed in steamers, and the return freight would be handled here for the interior. Birmingham's interest in the con- struction of the canal to the high point of navigation on the Warrior is, therefore, Mobiles interest. In this matter the Mobile Chamber of Commerce should combine with the Birmingham Chamber, using all the influence at it's command to bring about the building of the canal, as this port will reap large part of the benefits
 If the entire state continues to pull together this task will certainly be accomplished. Millions will yet be spent in the Ohio river in order to open it to the coal and other products of Pennsylvania and West Virginia, and surely while money is being poured out for that purpose lesser sum will be granted to give the mines and stacks of this district the ad- vantages of slackwater navigation to the sea. This task will take prece- denee in this state until it is accom- plished, and Mobile and Birmingham and all the country between them should favor at all times and in all places the equalization of the War rior to the central city of this dis trict.
