At the door OF the princess apart

and himself announced:
"His royal highness the Grand Duke

the princess hand and listening to her
words of welcome and congratulation.

1t was the same room we had break

upon the wall fronting us as we en-

officer In the uniform of the red huz-

Surely, outwardly at least, he was my

painting again In silent wonder, for,
although they both knew generally of
the resemblance, 1t needed the uniform
to bring 1t out In full effect.

Courtney gave me an amused smile
and shook his head: but hke a good

When I entered the library Frederick

"My dear Armand" he said. Il am

"Dehra has told you" I asked.

I took them mechanically. There
were the seals. the flowing ribbons. the

Twelve sons came to one father, and one of them became the ia

A mighty nation was formed, and one Gus of many citizens was

There is also in the later development
of the parcels post plan, provision for
the appointment of a joint committee
Of six Senators and six Representatives
to investigate the whole subject Of par.
cells posts and make recommendations
for changes and Improvement later on.
1t is good to see that the progressive
steps in this parcels post legislation are
constantly on the lines of liberality, and
of opening up to Americans for the
transmission of parcels by post within
their own country approximately as fa.
forable terms as are offered in our pos
tai treaties with other countries for the
transmission of parcels received from
or forwarded to foreign lands. And all
this is quite in accord with the progress
of the times and with the rightful
claims Of business and trade.

PosToFFICE APPROPRIATION.

A good deal of interest is manifested
in the Postoffice appropriation bill by
reason of the substantial benefits con.
ferred by it; and so broad minded peo-
pie are not disposed to bubble and ca
vii about small matters.
The public interest in tins appropria,
tion bill is very largely devoted to the
parcels post provision, and unfortunate.
" ii appears to be a settled policy of
those urging this rider, TO apply what
is called the "zone system;' that is
to fix the basis of charge on the old and
abandoned system of possoffice trans
mission used in former times in the
United States, when letter to Califor-
MIA from the East, for instance, had to
pay double the amount Of postage that
a letter paid going to A nearer State.
This zone system for the parcels post
is Objectionable on another ground also
than by reason of the fact that it is a
revival OF an abandoned system in the
postal management of this country. This
second ground of objection is that it
Of parcels by post in this country that
is not raised against such transmits
sion Of parcels by post when those par
cells are sent to or received from for
eien countries that are in the postal
union. For instance. under the proposed
zone system, a parcel going from New
York 10 San Francisco would pay two
or three times as much postage as one
going from London TO San Francisco
Tor under our postal treaties no dis.
elimination in postage as respecting
distance is allowed either for letters or
for parcels. But under the proposed
zone system. San Franciscan sending
tcn-ponnd package. for instance, to
New York would have to pay about
four times- as much postage on it as he
would have to paw if he directed il to
London; in fact. he could direct II 10
London and have il sent back TO New
York for less postage than he could
send it to New York direct.
And yet, in the latest development Of
thIs portion OF the parcels post rider
Oh The Postofhcc appropriation Bill,
there rs improvement over the system
proposed by Senator Bourne OF Oregon.
The weight limit has been increased TO
fifteen pounds, and the Postmaster.Ge zen.
eral is allowed discretion in the matter
Of weight ard rates. this discretion to
be exercised according as experience
may require, or suggest as reasonable
and proper. Under the Bourne plan, the
initial zone was fifty miles. 1t is now

sUFFRAGETTE CAMPAIGN.

AT present there are six States in
the Union in which equal suffrage
with men is conferred upon women.
These States are Wyoming, Utah,
Idaho, Colorado. Washington, and
California. There is a prospect that
FIVE more will be added by the cam
paigns of the present year Kansas
has already extended municipal suf
frage to women, and a proposition to
confer the full elective franchise upon
them is in hot campaign in that State.
Wisconsin and Michigan will also vote
upon the same question at the Novem-
bcr election, as will Oregon also. IT
is in Ohio. however, that the chief
women suffrsgists are concentrating
their great effort. The recent Com
stitutional convention in Ohio decided
to submit as an independent propo-
sitiou to be voted upon separately
from the general revision of the con-
stitution Of that State, a proposition
comforting the suffrage upon women on
the same terms as the men enjoy it.
Ohio is one of the great States
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1912-08-26

among the older members of the
Union. 1t Is the fourth State in popu
lation, and it's Importance in the
National councils is very great. In
no State of the rank and influence of
Ohio has women suffrage yet been
granted. California decided in favor
Of women suffrage last year, and that
decision was hailed as by far the most
important advance ever made in the
cause, since the other States in which
women enjoy the franchise arc in
ferior by comparison in population and
political strength. And so the women
of National fame in the suffrage
cause are conducting campaign OF
immense energy and enthusiasm in
Ohio. They are conducting it good
humoredly also, and are enthusiast
cally claiming sure win.
1t seems indeed as though the suf-
frage cause is going to prevail, and
that the day when women, particularly
in all the Northern States, will vote,
is not so very far distant.
