SENATE is NOT REPUBLICAN
Democratic Measures Likely Hence

In Upper House.

Recent elections had no effect upon
the United States senate as regards
the political control. There are now
AZ Democrats and 40 Republicans In
that body. 10 OF the Republicans being
classed as insurgents. who are almost
sure to.vote with the Democrats on
certain large issues. There is one va
cancy in Colorado. caused BY the
failure Of the legislature to elect.
This Is likely to be filled by q Demo
crat, In which case the senate will
stand 43 to 40. The New Mexico
Legislature may possibly be controlled
by a coalition OF Democrats and pro.
gressive Republicans with small
majority on joint bariot. In that case
the two new senatorships will be di.
vided, one going to the Democrats
and the other to the progressive Re
publicans. in which case the senate

Foreigners a Problem for New York

the typical American. II is doubtful
whether American institutions mean
much to them. Foreign thoughts, pur-
poses, ideals. business methods. man
ners and customs are swamping the
city.
In spite of the very considerable
number. of high grade American peo-
pie who live and do business in New
York. they do not form q percentage
sufficiently great to control conditions
in any effective way. There is tre-
mendous prevalence Of crime. insol-
ence, Incompetence and ignorance.
The number OF persons now in the
city who In Italy belonged to the Grim
inal classes is probably to be reckoned
In the thousands. In the trolley cars.

stores and even In the great new IL
brary one win find incompetence and
5inattention upon the part Of employees
with respect to their duties towards
the passenger or visitor.
As one moves about and comes into
contact with New York employees he
win be fortunate indeed II he does not
suffer from their bad manners, not
to say insolence. Probably some OF
this Is due to the conditions Of great
city, and would occur even under the
best of circumstances. However, the
presence In the city Of such enormous
masses OF ignorant and incompetent
people, saturated with unAmerican
ideals and purposes, cannot help hav'
ing q tremendous and bad influence
upon others. The conditions in New
York really constitute very great
problem indeed.

bered over a little bib. when she tickled

postal authorities will begin strenuous

cording to Postmaster Mckee. this may
mean a new delivery system, perhaps
an automobile delivery, if Atlantans
take to the new scheme in the manner
its advocates have asserted they would
I'VE are at sea now" admitted the
postmaster, "As soon as the plans for
the new system were definitely an
nounced, we mailed circulars to Atlanta
business houses requesting information
as to the number that would avail
themselves of the new parcels post. The
replies were, for the most part, vague
and there seemed to be tendency to
hang back and see how the new system
worked"
That the parcels post law which goes
into effect on New Years day will mean
a radical change in the delivery sys-
TENS of many Atlanta business firms,
is predicted freely by those best in
formed,
For instance, under the new postal
law pair of shoes mailed at noon can
be delivered by an Atlanta store to any
house in Atlanta before dark the same
day for a 6-eent stamp. A box of
candy can be delivered in the same way,
anywhere inside the local zone
The entire parcels post law is built
on the zone idea. There are eight
zones. The first zone has two divisions
the local and 50-mile line. The sec
| ond zone has a radius of $50 miles the
| third 800 miles, and so on. The rate
Of postage on parcels up to eleven
| pounds vary with the different zones
| No parcel over eleven pounds in weight
win be accepted for mailing, nor will

! girth exceeding y inches be accepted
Liquor, poisons, pistols explosives
| inhammable material and oils, dead
animals, disease germs and in-smel-
/ ing materials. such as fertilizer. etc,
! win be unavailable
The table above shows the local rate
in the first zone. Within so miles one
! pounds articles may be mailed for !
cents, and a slightly greater rate up to

! about the distance from Atlanta to
Knoxville, the one pound rate is cents,
and the other rates proportionately
