The Democratic members of
the national house committee on
post Offices and post roads incor-
porated in the appropriation bill
provisions for the establishment
of a parcels post system, a rate
of twelve cents on domestic bus
mess, with a maximum of twelve
pounds. The committee would
also provide for a rural rate of
five cents for one pound and two
cents for additional pounds. The
government will never play even
on the post Office business until
system of rates, based on the dis
lance or mileage a package is
carried, is perfected and put in
operation. The same principle
that governs railroads and ex-
press companies should be ap-
piled in handling postage. and
until such a system is worked
out and applied there will always
be a shortage in the post office
account.

About fifty labor leaders in
many different cities were ar
rested the past week upon the
charge Of Icing connected with
a dynamite plot extending over
the greater portion of the United
States. A majority of these
were connected with the Bridge
and Iron Structural Association
and the object of the conspiracy
was to destroy all buildings and
contracts upon which union la
Dor was not employed. More
than forty explosions took place
before the conspirators were run
down and caught. The terrible
loss of life in the destruction of
the Times building in Los An
geles brought an investigation
that finally unearthed the plot
and brought about the conviction
of the McNamaras.

The action of the house of
representatives in passing the
measure cutting off the old neg
no servants of Confederate SOL
diers during the war has not met
the full endorsement of the pub
lie. The negro slave who was
carried to the war by his young
master as his body servant was
almost without exception true to
him and proved his loyalty by
many acts which required great
sacrifice. While he was never
called on to shoulder a musket,
he was expected to forage, and
this being more in his line, he
usually kept his mess pretty we'll
fed if there was anything to be
found. His fidelity in case of
wounds, sickness or death is pro-
verbal, and now in his old age
the master of former days should
not forget his faithfulness and
take from him the pittance that
has formerly been voted in rec
ognition of the service rendered
on the field of battle while his
family athome was equally faith
full in laboring to support the
loved ones at home of the SOL
der who was on the line of bat

GAMBLER ron GOOD ROADS.

GAMBLER FOR GOOD ROADS.
Representative Gambler, al
ways awake to the best interests
of his constituents has placed
himself on record as favoring
good roads. Mr.. Gambler real
ICES that this is one Of the issues
of the day and is giving the ques-
ton much thought and consider
alton. In a recent speech Mr..
Gambler showed that the South
spent $3.50, 600. 900 for good roads
in 1911. From statistics he
showed that the farm products
of this country cost more to be
hauled to market than those of
any other country. This is use
less waste of money and should
be stopped.
Mr.. Gambler introduced a bill
before congress appropriating
$1OO, 100000 by the national gov
eminent for good roads, t h e
amount to be expended during
five years under the supervision
of the director of public roads.
In urging the passage of the
measure by congress. Mr.. Cand-
Ter said in part:
"The time is ripe for action in
this field. Our farmers are con-
stitutionally patient, but it is not
to be expected that they will per-
NIT that patience to be abused.
They have a right to look for
equitable treatment, for proper
consideration of their vast inter-
ests, at the hands of the govern
ment to whose greatness and
wealth they are the largest con-
tributors.
I'm 1908 the value of agricul-
tural products was 81, 848, 900. 900.
This year the estimated aggregate
value is SAT-, 900, 900. An in
dustry yielding such wealth ought
not to go, begging at the portals
of government for means for
adequate transportation to mar
kets or points of shipment. 1t
should be granted cheerfully,
promptly and unqrudgingly, just
asst has been granted to the other
undertakings of great national
Importance.
I'VE have made possible trans
portation along the great water
highways of this country. The
government in instances has pro-
vided means whereby great rail
ways have traversed this coun-
try from one end to the other.
Let US now commence the build
ing of good roads throughout
the country, which may contrib
ute to the happiness of the
people who live in the country. "

John Hull found the telegram at his

he saw himself once more little,

with terror the word 'poorhouse"
whispered by the neigh5ors. Then

am going to take care of him"
1t was an odd "caretaking" in some
ways. Aunt Rachel was an old maid,
and knew nothing of boys heart.
And yet---how good she had been
how good and prtienN! In the last ten
years, although he Ind seen her only
twice, there had been no word of re-
proach. only the same unchanGing

John Hull's eyes, and calling his sec

Nine hours later he was alone with
Aunt Rachel AS he looked at the
great peace Of the small, worn face, a
strange feeling swept across him. He
never saw look like that in Wall
street. This little, plain. old country
woman had possessed something
greater than riches.
Later, they brought him her papers
and letters. They were very few, but
among them were her account books.
and John Hull realized that In those
careful figures he was reading the
story OF her life. He was amazed
to know how tiny her income had
been. And OF what she had had. a
tenth had gone to her church, fifth
to her missionary society. and nearly
all the rest for boy who was not
even related to her
And he had thought her life pitifuliy
poor and narrow! Now in his hour Of
vision he saw that his was the poor
and barren life-with its careless and
spasmodic giving. its absorption in
"the game" He understood at last
the generous and unselfish investment
of this life and all Its possessions. And
suddenly there came to him the mem
cry OF hot summer Sunday of his
boyhood. and OF the minister's voice
as he read his text: well done, thou
good and faithful servant: thou hast
been faithful over a few things, will
make thee ruler over many things"
Could that be said OF the uses he
had made OF his own life?
