Il P.4RCELS POST THRIVING

About ninety per cent of the people of this country really favor
the passage of a adequate parcels post bill. although many OF them
most of them, we might say-are too indifferent to take any inter-
est in promoting its passage. Members of Congress realize TINS
great preponderance in favor of the bill, yet they are afraid o the
other ten per cent and are delaying the bill until they can frame up
one that will not mean anything. but which they hope will serve to
quiet those who are so intensely lighting for a just measure. Men
bers of Congress. however, should not deceive themselves in this re-
gard If a D arcels post bill bill that will suit the people and
meet the needed requirements is not passed at this session, 1t Will
mean that there will be some new faces in the next session. and the
fight will never stop until the people get the desired relief. 1t IS IN

LNPROT EMENT IN UNION ADTOCATE

While the Union Advocate of Jackson has always been a repre-
sentative organ, yet we must congratulate the management on its
marked improvement during the past six months. T. w. Carter, its
editor and president of the State Union, is a broad-gauged. clear
headed man and can be depended upon to direct the work of the
Farmers Union along the best lines. His editorial delverances in
the Union Advocate show a remarkable grasp of conditions and
those things touching the life and the needs of the agricultural clas-
ss. Had farmers organizations of the past had leaders of the
breadth and liberalty of thought of Carter, the farmers of the coun.
try would have taken on more of the progression of the day that
has meant so much to other calings and professions. Carter will
render a good account Of himself anywhere and is one of the state
most worthy citizens. We are glad to note the Union is still i'm.
proving.

OUTLOOK UNUSUALLY IN TEREsTIMG

1.-THE OUTLOOK" UNUSUALLY ~ TERESTIVG
While The Outlook has always been one of the greatest publ
cations OF its kind in the country, yet it is doubly interesting just
now and should be in the hands of every thoughtful reader in the
country. Its editor, Lyman Abbott, is one of the nations greatest
literary characters and he has always used his pen to promugate
the highest principles of governmental policy. Col. Roosevelt is
contributing editor of The Outlook, and the whole country. almost
the whole world, sits up and takes notice of this remarkable man.
At this time. when Mr.. Roosevelt is waging his fight against the
dominant factions of the republican party and incidentally batterng
down the third term unwrtten law, what appears in The Outlook is
of more than ordinary significance. =
The editorials cover a wide field. They are not confined to pol
iics. but every question of worldwide interest is discussed. Read it.

NJ MATTERS-MLOWED S15 CLAIM
FOR ATTORNEY FEES IN DE.
FENSE OF OFFICER WHITLATCH

Cutting down by half the claim of
Attorney Grant Corby against the city
for the defense of Patrolman Jack
Whitlatch in the suit that was filed
against him by Ralph Derrick, who
claimed that Whitlatch wrongfully ar
rested him, the city council last night
voted to allow Attorney Corby SIS for
the work
A majority report Of the health and
police committee signed by Aldermen
Jones and Constable was first read in
which the committee stated that It was
unable to see the justice Of the claim
against the city because the case was
a personal affair Of Whitlatch. Alder
man Low, however the third member
Of the committee, orally made a mi
nority report recommending the pay
nent by the city Of $75 and moving the
adoption Of his report. Alderman
Constable then arose and said that he
had had further light on the case
since he had signed the majority re-
port and asked that his name be With
drawn from the report and that his
support be given Alderman Low. Thus
the minority report was adopted.
The suit for S25OO damages against
Fatrolman Whitlatch was brought by
Derrick because the ofliced arrested
him on the street on the last night o
the Cherry Fair Derrick claimed tha
his conduct had not been disorderly il
any way. The police officer was sue
cessful in the suit.
