uppermost in Richeson's mind in

Does he think of the first lies,
the early mild receptions to graf
ify silly pride, and count them as
the prime causes of the downfall?
"Could we have only known"
was the text of his sermon for
Avis when her blood was still
fresh on his hands. 1t is the
world-old cry of the despairing
weak and erring when the tide is
sweeping on to submerge them,
And it will be his epitaph:
Gould we have only known"

There stillsare 1900 policemen
on Special strike duty m the
loop district.
Special strike duty" in the
loop means seeing to it that the
sale of nen-union newspapers is
boosted as much as possible and
the sale of union papers held
down as much as possible.
200 men constitute one-third
of the force. Naturally while one
third of the police force is carry
ing out the orders of Over mayor
Andy Lawrence, mere citizens,
whose only virtue is that they pay
taxes, must suffer.
Evidently there is only one
thing for the plain citizen to do
avoid having any accident happen
to him until Andy is through us
ing the police for his own ends.

GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND
GO TO JAIL FOR 1T.

Mere citizens of Chicago who
are so foolish as to-have accidents
happen to them are playing in bad
luck these days.
The police force of the city is
far too busy marrying union news
boys to pay any attention to the
people who.only pay taxes to keep
it up.
John R. Flynn, ironworker,
1884 Madison st., was arrested
Saturday night for being drunk
and disorderly."
Flynn was flung into cell at
the Desplaines Street Station and
left there for twelve hours.
At the end of the twelve hours
FLYNN was "drunk and disorder
w." and it occurred to the police
that perhaps there was something
else the matter with him.
Flynn was examined. 1t was
found that he was suffering from
three broken ribs.
Flynn is now in the County
Hospital under treatment. Per-
haps he will recover.

The signers have not taken the
trouble to add, copied from my
farm Journal" Most of them
have not stopped to figure that,
at any rate which would enable
the government to come out any
way near even in its operation,
the cost of the stamps necessary
would make it practically useless
for the transportation of farm
products. Farmers not located
upon rural routes are learning
that it is proposed to add Parcels
Post to routes established before
granting them rural free delivery
service. These comprise about
half of the farm population and
they have begun TO protest to
their congressman.
The Hon. M. G. knows that his
home merchants are against
Parcels Post and they say it
would curtail their ability to sup
port local enterprises and extend
credits. ,In some sections credits
from merchants are yet vastly
necessary.
In the recent Senate hearings,
just prior to the holidays, Mr.. E.
B. Moon, Secretary Of the
American League of Associa-
tions, a national organization of
merchants, advised the postoffice
committee that this question
was of too great moment to be
decided without Congress hav-
ing been put into possession OF
abundant facts. He suggested
that a commission should be
created to learn whether the ad.
mitted inferiority of the towns
and smaller cities of countrie:
operating Parcels Pest to those
of like size in the United States
was a result of Parcels Pos
suction of resources to grea
! mercantile centers. He sale

Naturally they are reporting to
their friends something of the
pleasures they have had with
turkey, cranberry sauce, con-
stituents and the joys of young
sters over stockings filed by
Santa Claus.
The days before the Holidays
were spent almost entirely in
preparation for the real work
which is likely to last several
months. This session is all the
more important because it is on
the eve of a great presidential
campaign. A congressman will
forget politics about as often as
he would forget to eat good
Christmas dinner.
With due regard for the in
terests of all the people of course,
the leaders of both parties are
sparring for political advantage
in the coming battle. The Re-
publican National Committee in
it's meeting here a few days ago,
set the Republican National
convention for Chicago June 18th.
The Jackson Day banquet meet
ing of the Democratic National
committee and accompanying
uncorking of oratory by many
great Democrats January 9Th
will be followed by important
movements in behalf of various
candidates for the nomination.
1t has been believed thatPresi-
dent Taft could have the Re-
publican nomination for the
asking. The failure of Ohio
Progressive Republicans" to
endorse Senator La Follette's
presidential candidacy has in
creased the uncertainty. They
were deferred by Clifford Pinchot,
who is a close friend of ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Everybody is
inquiring Does Roosevelt want
the nomination? If so, what will
result?"
The Democrats expected great
advantage from President Tafts
veto of the bill they passed
through the House last session
lowering the tariff upon wooden
goods and succeeded in putting
through the Senate with the aid
of Insurgent Republicans. But
the President said in effect that
a commission was diligently al
work digging up facts regarding
Schedule X" and he wanted
these facts before either the
sheep or the wooden manufacture
ers were sheared. That commits.
sion was composed OF Republicans
and Democrats. It's findings
were made unanimously. They
have not been controverted. II
is doubtful whether any senator
or representative has facts which
would disprove them. The coun,
try at large has applauded the
work of the co m ssion. 1t got
down to brass tacks" and heS
given Congress and the country
more information about wooden
manufacture and everything per
tanning thereto than was ever
evolved through decades of ora
torical pyrotechnics and efforts
at party advantage.
The country has realized that
the tariff is a business question,
one to be handled in business
way. The average citizen has
ceased to be unchangingiy a
Democrat, a Republican, or
Socialist lust because. The
Missouri desire to be shown ha!
become a national epidemic

portant facts.
When it comes to getting the
real facts upon a national bust
ness policy, no matter how
talented he may be, the average |
congressman is handicapped. |
This is particularly true upon a
subject which is not a party
question. A multitude of sub
jects comes before Congress.
The people at large do not know
how many things of admin
strative character in the various
departments the average con-
gresham must do for con-
stituents and others. He must
devote some attention to enter
tanning friends who visit Wash
ington. The average congress
man has not had the time, OPP
portunity, and access to informa-
tion afforded to the men who
were put upon this one job of
delving into wool and shoddy.
Excellent physicians of general
practice frequently consult
specialists.
Now here comes another huge
business proposition: something
like tariff but with no party
brand; a political maverick let
loose--so some of its opponents
say-from the big retail mail
order houses, one very likely to
cause a stampede in several
political herds. Wherever it
strays petitions and remonstranc-
es flourish like moss in a DOGGY
place. The average congressman
wishes he had never heard of
Parcels Post. Upon the one hand,
he is told certain European coun-
tries have it, and we must have
it, like a man in an epidemic of
smallpox, to be in fashion.
Publishers of farm journals
which have boosted" it and
told their farmer readers il
would be the forerunner of the
millennium have found joy in
figuring the consequent increase
of their advertising from "direci
to you" advertisers.

stopping to consider that the
