Fine Game

In one of the best played and most in-
teresting games upon the home grounds
this season, the Sherbrooke Cubs were
defeated by the locals. With one to tie,
and two to win, the locals accomplished
the feat in a most sensational finish.
The game abounded with good plays
and although the locals outbatted Sher-
brooke 9 to l, their hits up 20 the ninth
we're not timely. White allowed but 5
hits, three of them being garnered by
Hammond, but he was a trife wild, 3
base on balls, hit batsman and a wild
pitch helped Sherbrooke considerably !;
but aside from the sixth, when the To-
Gals bunehed 8 of their errors, he pitched
fine ball.
The ninth Brought the crowd to their
feet when Johnston the first man up was
hit, and was brought IN with the tying
ran by savage base hit by Stevens,
and to add to the enthusiasm Dantorth
4 picked out high on to his liking ana
\ oounded it for 3 bases, bringing IN
Steve and winning the game. Two

Mr.. johnson and the Parcels Post.

Congressman Joseph T. johnson is
in favor of the parcels post bill and
he frankly sets forth his views upon
this subject in letter to constitu-
ent, who writes him asking that he
oppose the measure. His letter, pub
lished in The Herald Sunday morn
ing, is Enthusiastically clear and
logical Mr.. Johnson is absolutely
correct, in our opinion. The express
companies are back of the opposition
to the parcels post bill and are re-
sponsibre for the cry that the small
merchant will be put out of business
if cheaper transportation for small
packages is allowed.
We have never understood why the
parcels post should not enable all
those small merchants, who have the
ability and business talent necessary.
to more easily become larger mer-
chants.
The parcels post can but help the
towns and at the same time enrich
the surrounding farmers and truckers
who sell in the cities.-Herald.

Congressman Joseph T. Johnson is
an honest, frank man. He favors the

write a convincing letter on that sub
ject to constituent who asks him to
oppose it. The opposition to the par

they are shrewdly having lot of

are enlisted on the absolutely base

set out it's views of the disadvantages
of parcels post legislation in it's last
issue, it is not necessary 20 reiterate
them In referring 20 Mr. Johnson's
letter, the purpose here only being in
tended to show that Mr. Johnson is
really opposed 10 the parcels post bill
around which the fight is to be
made. Only, it would seem well to
guard against comparisons of the par
cells post service or any other service
in this country and in other countries.
There are many things, perhaps. which
might affect the people of this country
under parcels post system that do
not affect European countries and
though the parcels post system might
be proving a success in those coun-
tries, it must be borne in mind that
the American farmers and the Ameri-
can working men are much better
paid, much better provided fov and are
happier people than those of European
countries. AS single proof of this,
only witness the large emigration to
this country. If the general masses
of the people of this country wish to
put themselves on the level with
those of foreign countries, let them
follow after them, but if they wish
to continue on the road to progress
and wealth, as they surely are doing
now, it seems that the best way to do
so would be to fight shy Of many for
eign policies.
And now at last to Congressman
Johnson's letter: Mr.. Johnson goes
at length into the discussion of the
benefits to accrue from the parcels
post denying that ii Will be injurious
to the farmers of the south After
discussing this phase of the question
to the length of about a column, he
continues, in a very small space, by
stating that he is not in favor of
parcels post with a fiat rate, but is
in favor of the one in which the zone"
rates would be charged But, Mr..
johnson is surely aware that par
cells post system, where the rates are
to be made according to zones, is
but remotely contemplated Inaugural
tion of such rates would revolutionize
the postal system and is not given
much thought by advocates of the par
cells post. 1t will thus be seen that
Congressman Johnson is opposed to
the national parcels post as is now
seriously advocated. The limited par
cells post, though possibly OF great ad-
vantage, should be dealt with eau
tious!y. 1t is only put forward as an
entering wedge for the national par
cells post-a kind of "nigger in the
wood-pile."
Leaving out the question of gov
eminent ownership of transportation
utilities, Mr.. Johnson, by advocating
the zone idea as to parcels post, is
entirely in sympathy with nearly ev-
erybody, including The Advertiser, ex-
cept the express companies
Congressman Johnson, now having
come out sQuarely against the parcels
post measure ultimately to be fought
over it would be we'll for constituents
of other congressman to address letters
to see how they stand on the question.
Probably, it will be found that all OF
them have the same views as Mr..
Johnson, for there is little doubt but
that the general parcels post bill, as
now contemplated, is fraught with
much harm to the farmers and labor
ing people as direct result Of the
great harm it would do the merchants
of the small towns.
