Tribune Washington II


WASHINGTON, May 2.-1t is safe
to say that rarely, if ever, within the
experience of the majority of the
members of congress, whether of the
senate or the house of representa-
tives, has there been sucn a perfect
deluge Of kilograms and letters, OF
petitions and remonstrances, of reso-
lutioss and communications of all
sorts as have marked the advent of
the consideration of the suggested
parcels post system at the capitol.
One member of the lower chamber as
sured me today that his secretary had
just helped MIN tC open six sacks of
mail, the accumulation of last night
and this morning, and that every
scrap of manuscript was on the par

shows the universally of the deep
interest felt by every community in
the United States on this exceedingly
important subject.
While some congressman are bit
FESTIVE under the flood of suggestions
received from their respective con-
stituents, and confess among them
selves to a certain amount of irrita-
ton the great bulk of them welcome
the arrival of such epistolary advice,
simply because, they say, it tells them
exactly how their home folks feel on
the matter, and they are thus enabled
to discuss and vote upon it's various
phases, arriving at a conclusion that
suits the wants and desires of their
own communities.
At least half dozen of really COM
prehensive bills have been introduced
in the house on this subject. all Of
them treating tine matter from differ
ent viewpoints, the most popular
among students of the subject being
known as the Anderson and the Cooke
bills, both of which have been dis
cussed in these dispatches. On the
majority side Of the house the most
earnest and clear-headed student is
Congressman Sweet of Michigan, who

Against Special Interests.

The chief and all inclusive demand
Of Senator Bob" and the Progressive
league is that the special interests be
driven out of politics. He believes
there Is money trust which is the
progenitor OF the other trusts. In the
beginning our government was pure.
but the interests have corrupted Il.
Now we must bring It back to the PEG.
pie. This is all good doctrine. and no
body can he found who will seriously
attempt to controvert IT, Yet the sen
ator Is not always so general In his
statements. lie can be quite specific
and his remedies for these evils and
the brood of lesser abuses that have
grown out of them are worked out IN
detail by experts. Nor are his laws
ever successfully attacked In the
courts. La Toilette is a lawyer, and he
is not In the habit of enacting reforms
only to have II coach and four driven
through them by the first court before
which they are brought.
On the tariff the Wisconsin senator
demands n permanent commission re.
porting TO congress and n downward
revision schedule by schedule to the
point that shall equalize cost OF produc.
ton at home and abroad. nor Is he
especially anxious about assuring a
reasonable profit TO American manu-.
facturers." He believes that manu-.
facturers should look after their own
profits. Moreover, he is In favor OF
making the revision speedily and civ.

but all this is guesswork. The wis.

ton wide organization and tremen-

people. His friends are making an ac-

belief Is that he will make stronger
showing In the convention than the
average man now believes possible. A
