The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1912-03-20
A VERY WEAK DARE
In recent number Of The Tribune,
we had the following editorial note:

| In al itHCHI uHtuDG1 oI | ne tribune,
we had the following editorial note:
If there had been Presidential pri-
marieS IN 1860. there can be little doubt
| DUJ lllaL Seward would have been the
| choice of the Republican party. with Lin
| coin nowhere But compared with Lin
coin, Seward was in fact nowhere" "
There's often wisdom In conventions as
sembled, which can In no wise be
matched by the segregated citizenship.
In reply to which we have the fol-
lowing note from an Idaho man, who
evidently thinks himself in some sort
Of disagreement with the sentiment ex-
pressed:
Rupert, Ida, March Is
Editor Tribune read and took the
enclosed clipping from your paper, and
ment:
But after Lincoln had been President
Iour Years there was not man in the
United states could have received one
haN as many votes as Lincoln at the
5rimn1fy election had there been one.
Proving that the people can judge the
merits of man by his deeds-hence the
judgment on Taft.

After all, however, we do not see
that our Idaho friend disagrecs with
the item to which he wishes TO make
an addition
1t being conceded therefore, that
the first item is correctly put, We Will
inquire into the proposed addendum to
il. And here we find weakness instead
of strength, for. if any one thing is
more certain than another, it is that
there was greater opposition to Presi-
dent Lincoln in 1864 than there now is
to President Taft This opposition to
Lincoln that year was both violent and
active. 1t eliminated in convention
at Cleveland, held on May Is, 1864
where John C. Fremont was nominated
for President by the radical Repub.
licans This convention was one ex-
preston of the opposition to Lincoln
Secretary Chase was also candidate
for the Republican nomination that
year, although a member OF Lincoln s
Cabinet. The disaffection towards
Lincoln was very general and very
great throughout the North; and we
doubt very much if Lincoln could DOS
sibly have been renominated in 1864 |
II there had been Presidential primar
les; the probability is that in such case
Secretary Chase would have been nomi-
mated in place of Lincoln.

that Sorrell had grabbed him and
then he struck in self defense. He
also said that Sorrell had been

they were. talking, was not near

c. 0. D. PROVISION Il,
IN PARCELS POST
From; Tuesdays Daily.


One of the biggest features of the
new parcels post system which will
go into effect January e is the c. o.
d. provision. Next to it is the insur-
ance feature, the two43 features pro-
vding absolute protection to the
shipper in using the parcels post
system.
Advocates of the parcels post sys-
| TEN contend that it will provide a
remedy, for the high cost of living
so far as necessities of the table
are concerned, as twill enable the
consumer to receive the necessities
direct from the producer at some
thing like the cost at which they are
produced.
With the perfection of the system
the housewife can Oorder her entire
market list from the farmer at the
price at which he sold the articles,
the postman collecting the price on
delivery and remitting it r." ''''-
er. The c.. o. D."feature of the svs-
TEN is one Of the problems now be-
fore the postoffice department. 1t
may not be made effective ut the be.
ginning, but in time it will be made
permanent part of the parcels post
delivery Another problem now I'M
der considerations involves the ship
ment of barriess butter, eggs and
other perishable products.
The effect Of the postal system of
transportation ion table necessities
is indicated by a statement of the
postoffice department. 1t shows the
price of two dozen eggs, a dressed
fowl, three pouads of butter, a like
amount of country sausage. coun-
try-cured ham, and a half bushel Of
apples at the farm. They sold at a
farm near Washington at $2.S5, but
when they got to the consumer the
cost was $5.55.
The regulations for the handling
of articles for the parcels post are
now being prepared and will be
made public soon. The mode of
packing must be carefully prescrib-
ed The present equipment of the
mail service is not adapted to the
carriage of merchandise included
within the law and, therefore, new
equipment must be provided. SDe-
cial means must be arranged for the
transportation of fragile articles.
Hampers similar to these used abroad
may be employed in handling par
cells post mail.
The regulations also will include
a plan Of identification for lost and
damaged articles. In formulating
plans for the parcels post business
postoffice department officials are ar
ranging to provide at the outset suf-
ficient additional equipment and
transportation facilities to avoid SER
ious congestion and delay that might
otherwise result from the taking over

The WEATHER FORECAST
From Tuesdays Daily.

Measured by demand, says The
I Minneapolis Journal, the daily wealth
er forecast is as important pro-
duct as any turned ont in Minnea-
polls, u. G. Pursell, section direct
or of the weather bureau, said to-
day, and the demand comes from
widely varied consuming public For
instance, he said, the state of the
weather and the outlook is CT great
Importance to ploW manufacturers,
lumbermen, dentists, harness makers,
cement and concrete contractors and
workers, truck gardeners, and ship
pers of all perishable commodities.
At any rate, men engaged in these
lines of work are the ones that COM
plain most vigorously when the daily
forecasts fail to rcach them Nearly
every manufacturing concern is as
ANXIOUS to get the government daily
crop bulletin, published from April
to September 80, as are the far
mers and gardeners, for whom it
originally was intended.
This growing demand for weather
information. Mr. Pursell said, has
resulted in the adoption of improved
methods for the speedy distribution
of the forecast issued for thirty-six
hours in advance each day. The daily
forecast is now put before the pub
lie by the following methods:
More than twelve hundred cards,
bearing the printed forecast, are
posted in public places throughout
Minneapolis.
|, The predictions are furnished to
all newspapers and printed by them.
The daily forecast is furnished
the telephone companies and trans
mitted to all exchanges, so that
every subscriber may get it without
cost or trouble merely by asking
Central"
BY the newest of these methods,
the universal distribution of the
weather information by telephone,
each daily forecast is available to
100000 private phones within an
hour after it is issued.
At the present time of the year
frost is an important factor with
shippers of many classes of goods
Knowledge that there is no likli-
hood of frost enables the short-haul
shipper to save money by not need
lessly protecting consig nm N t S
against frost.
"The weather department. said
Mr.. Purseil, has become as much
a necessity to the public as the
postoffice. The proof of its useful
ness is. to be found in the general
kick raised whenever the service
has been established and later dis
continued. The chief Of the DEPART
ment has said that there is a de-
mand from every town, village and
crossroad for weather station. They
are being established on as large
a scale as the appropriations of con-
gress will permit. With the telephone
service and newspapers TO distribute
weather forecasts quickly. the depart
ment is able to do an inestimable
amount of service. The service of
the weather department could not
be dispensed with now any more
than the mail service.

One couple was disappointed this
morning when they went to the
clerk of court to secure a marriage
license. The young man brought
the girl with him and asked non
chalantly ''how's chances for IL
cense?" The. clerk seemed to think
that chances were pretty good, but
when inquired the residence of the
young lady found that she lived in
Watonwan, SO decided that there
was nothing doing in the marriage
business" The couple left some
what disappointed but the young
man remarked cts me for ST.
James SO by this time they have
no doubt been made one.
A marriage license was granted
this morning to Robert Heinzman
and Miss Gertrude Anna Klugherz,
both of this city. The wedding will
take place tomorrow morning at
