 Reforms Under Way.
 Many other improvements have been made in the postal service dur ing President Taft's term of office, such as the shipment of periodicals in carloads by fast freight, which has re- duced the cost of transportation and expedited the handling of first-class mail, and the consolidation of the star route and rural delivery services so that 1t has been possible to establish many new routes and to serve thou sands of additional patrons on exist ing routes with little or no increased cost. But the Taft program of postal reform and progress is not yet com pleted. The president is urging con gress to adopt legislation for the re- adjustment of postage rates on a basis of cost, which will eventually permit of one-cent rate on letter mail project also is under way for giving to village communities the same free delivery of mail that is now enjoyed by cities and the rural popu- lation.
 The establishment Of a domestic parcel post has received the earnest consideration of the president In some branches of the delivery serv- ice, notably the rural and city deliv- cry routes, the equipment now neces- sary is sufficient for the additional transportation of considerable mer- chandise with little or no increase in expense. A system thus limited would enable the government to render an important service to many millions of people and to determine from the viewpoint of actual experience the most desirable manner of extending 1t.
 President Taft. accordingly, has urgently recommended to congress the adoption of the necessary legislation, and to present, the issue clearly, three items of s50,000 each have been in clnded in the estimates of the postal service by Postmaster General Hitch cock, two to cover the initial expense of introducing the parcel post on rural routes and in the city delivery serv- Ice, respectively, and the third to meet the cost of an investigation look ing to the final extension of the serv- ice to the railways and other trans portation lines

The Wrong Band Wagon

Some of the Maryland Re-
publicans are kicking them
selves for having jumped into
the Taft band wagon so early.
Wise men in the party seem to
think that Roosevelt has bet
ter chance for getting the nom
ination than Col d $ borough,
jackson and others think. II
is freely claimed that Taft can
not be elected and the great
Republican newspapers have
roasted Teddy so hard that il
would be impossible for them
to support him ii he is nomina-
ted. So there you are All
the Republican hopes that the
Democrats would be hopelessly
divided have gone up the spout
and now these same Republi-
cans have very many troubles
of their own. The Democrats
will nominate the next Presi-
dent at the Baltimore conven-
ton.
