WASHINGTON NEWS LETTER

WdbuluS IOu, -. W., ANo'' ~
The Parcel Post created by Act
of Congress Aug. 4, 1912, to be-
gin operation Jan. l, 1913. has
awakened great interest all over
the country, especially in rural
districts. Other countries enjoy
the benefits of this cheap and
convenient method Of sending
small pamkages; and our Gov
eminent, in treaties, agrees to de-
liver parcels sent in this manner
from such countries to persons In
the United States. There seems
no reason, therefore, why we
should not use the system to the
advantage of a large proportion
of our people. The. scheme is yet
only an experiment, but will
probably become a valuable insti-
tuition. Its success will depend
upon the rates charged in CON-
parison with those of expense
companies.
The writer learned, at the Post
Office Department, that while
large part Of the office force is
busy perfecting plans, there are
still important details yet unset
tied.
The Act creating the Parcel
Post is briefly as follows: Fourth
class mail is extended to include
everything not now included in
other classes; provided the pack
ages do not weigh more than IL
lbs. nor measure more than Y
inches in length and girth COM
bined; and futher provided they
be not Of shape or character to |
niure other mail, or to spoil be-
fore delivery in q reasonable
time. This is practically the
whole bill except as to rates. It
is easy to regulate the size and
weight Of parcels. but not easy to
decide what may be too perish j
sble for each distance, or too dan
gerous to other mail. These ques-
tons are puzzling a special COM !
mission, which in conference with
Senator Bourne the author of the
bill, is now trying to settle such
details.
Shall live animals be admitted
and such things as butter, eggs,
milk, live pigs and whiskeyf It
Is the evident intent Of the bill
to provide for dressed poultry,
butter, eggs and liquors; for farm
and factory products are especial
u mentioned. But such articles
must Of course be put in safe con-
tanners, which may possibly be
sold like envelopes.
Dangerous explosives cannot be
accepted, and live pigs and tur-
Keys will usually be excluded by
weight. But live chickens, for
hort hauls may become common
part of the postman's delivery.
For the purpose Of fixing
.ates, 8 zones are created, based
lpon unites that are about thirty
niles square, or half q degree Of
attitude. But for practical pur-
,oses we may say that the first

With the approach Of the first
Monday in December, the day Oh
which Congress cOnvenes, interest
centres more and more upon the
relations between it and the Pres
ident. It is felt that the present
administration has been who'll :
discredited, and the recommends
tons of President Taft will
doubtless be ignored. Between
him and the Senate, relations will
be especially strained over the
confirmation of appointments.
Very few appointments have been
made, particularly in the south,
since the beginning of the con-
f1ict between Roosevelt and Taft.
It is known that appointments
and promotions in the Army and
Navy and Post-Office Department.
will all fail of confirmation by the
Senate, which means that after
the fourth Of next March, when
the Democrats by the overwhelm-
ing expression Of the people come
into power. there will be many
vacancies to fill. These places
will be filed by democratic ap-
pointees.
The Democratic Party feels
justified in asserting itself at the
present time and making its
widespread victory an effective
and present one in fact; and the
Democratic leaders have decided
to ignore any message or mes
sages from the President, and to
refuse to confirm any Of his NOM
nations. So when Mr.. Wilson
takes office next March he will
have large number Of Offices to
fill. The extra session which he
will call in the spring will be a
busy one, passing the laws neces-
sary to carry out Democratic
pleOgeS.
Not only in official circles, but
in social circles as well, is the
spirit Of looking forward TO the
new administration exhibited.
Social leaders of the incoming
party and those who intend to.
sucE after the fourth of March
have already come, by a sort Of
common consent, to be acknowl-
snged as the real leaders, and TIE
outgoing Chief Executive ana his
family will soon be SO only in
name. To the new social life Of
he Democracy belong, of course,
he social traditions left by the
3ayards, the Whitneys, the La.
mars. and the Carlisles.
Everyone is interested in Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson, the woman who

Rev. Denis ODonaghue, whom every one in Indianapolis knows and loves, and who is now bishop of the diocese of Louisville, is as fond of telling joke on himself as he is of springing one on some one else.
 The bishop is nearly bald and when he is traVehng and desires to remove his headgear he usually pulls on a silk skull cap. The bishops friends tell of c little train incident that happened to him while travelling between Indian apolis and Chicago.
 Just behind the bishop sat a travel. ing man who appeared to be deeply interested in his reverence. However, he did not speak to the bishop until the train began to slow up at small station. The traveller was to alight at this station. Gathering his grips he started for the door. Then he turned back and stopped at Bishop O'Donag- hue's seat
 Pardon me-" he said, with an anx- Ious countenance, ''but aren't you Bill Nye?"
 Bishop O'Donaghue, who was al- ways an admirer of the famous humor- Ist. thought the joke was too good to Seep and promptly told 1t on himself

 MYSTIC REVOLUTION.
New Method of DIsh-WashIng May Be Only the Beginning of Better Thinas
 Vast Field for Her lngenu- Ity Is Before Her.

'There's something new under the sun, after all," remarked the troubled tourist. Here's woman college grad uate who says the college woman can devise new methods of washing the dishes.
 If that's the case, then she's got the helpful husband beaten a mile, for up to the time of this new discov- cry he has had the record for new methods of dish-washing by the sim pie expedient of turning the hose on them. It was a quick and fairly efi- cacious way of disposing of a whole tubful of dishes at one fell swoop and bade fair to revolutionize house keeping methods. It was invented I think, by man whose wife left him to tend the flat while she took a two weeks vacation. Now, however, if the college woman is out inventing new dish-washing methods, mere man will have to sidestep. His occupations gone,s I don't know what these new dish-washing methods may be, but my advice to bachelors is to put in their applications at once to all senior classes in women's colleges and try to get wife and new dish-washing method at one and the same time. AS a dish juggler the sweet girl graduate ought to lead the world.
 Tt seems to me that the college woman of today is going in the do- nestle field. It looks like a soft thing for her husband. He won't have to settle single dispute. All he'll settle will be the bills. The high cost of living needn't worry him in the least Let his college wife settle that. All he'll have to do is to worry if he is laid up and can't attend to his job. She'll go down to the office and settle the business for him. She'll probably settle the blonde stenog- rapher first, and attend to the details later.
 I see that up in York state a mail carrier was unable to deliver his let ters and his wife went out and cover ed his district for him. There you have 1t. That's just what the new dish-washing college graduate wife is going to do-because she can settle everything.
 If she has any doubt along about election time that he isn't going to vote the right way, she can promptly lock him up and go out and vote for him If she thinks he's not up to his usual form at cards she can keep him at homo and go take his place at the club Saturday night
 If there's to be any sitting up with c sick friend she can do it for him, and spare him the long visit I paint ed this happy future to cynical bach elor friend of mine and the only com ment I could get him to make was Wake up, you're in Boston "-Hous- ton Press.

The Perry Memorial commission has approved the design of J. H. Fried. lander of New York for a permanent memorial at Put-in-Bay, O., to com. memorate the centennial of Perry's victory at Lake Erie, which will be celebrated in 1913 MT. FFiedlander received highest honors in competi- ton in which f1fty-four designs were received; and the award carries with it a contract to supervise the cree. ton of the memorial, upon which $500, ,000 will be expended. The memo rial will be in the form of a Dorie column, 320 feet high, with a spec tators' gallery and light at the top. 1t will stand on plaza, at one end of which will be a historical museum while at the other end will be erected . building to symbolize the 100. years of peace which have prevailed be tween the United States and England.
