the cities? Both these are useful and
convenient Institutions for the people
and we would dislike to see them de-
stroyed If they were destroyed what
would become of the wholesale mer-
chants and jobbers of cities like Roa-
noke for instance? If these had no
country merchants to whom to sell
their goods would they not be forced
to close and to throw on the market a
quantity of new labor seeking employ
ment and most of it trained only to a
destroyed business?
We have been hearing a long time
of clearing out of the way the middle
mantle merchant--and having the
people deal direct with the manufac.
turer, or producer, thereby saving the
middle mans profit AS a practical
fact, the merchants profit, or a large
part of it. is his charge for conven-
ience and for credit, Just like the bank

ciples of socialism and cooperation.
on which volumes have been written
and many more volumes will be writ
ten. But looking at the immediate
practical effect of the parcels post,
would it not be to confine the trade
of the local merchant to the coarser
and heavier goods in which there is
small profit and on much of which he
must give credit and take from him all
the cash trade in the lighter and finer
goods on which there is profit?
Would it not take from John Jones
with a general store at the Cross Roads
most of his cash trade, deprive him of
all his business in light goods and
leave him to sell flour and meat and
household utensils and farm imple-
ments all on time? Would not the ef-
feet be to carry all the retail cash trade
to few great centers and hold it
there?
As a general rule anything which
makes a sharp clash between the in
terests of any class of people has a
weak spot somewhere in it. We never
knew of sound business or legisla-
tive proposition which proposed to help
one class of people by destroying an
other. The interests of all of us are
too closely tangled and tied together

mixed up with state affairs. Yet de-
spite this all, looking at the matter
from the most adverse standpoint the
teachings of John Calvin have in them
the very breath of civil and religious
liberty. He, Calvin, was far in adj
vance OF much OF the ministry of the
day. Unlike many modern preachers
he never preached ON baseball, horse
racing, the latest piece of fiction bat
tie flags, on the waltz. ON the glories
of the flag and what 1t did in the war.
on forty acres and mule. Even
though allied with the State he never
wore out his vocal chords on politics
He was not toady In one thing at
least he was far above and beyond the
ordinary 20th century parson he
would not compromise with evil for
the sake of a salary. He never served
the Lord on the seven great princi-
ples-the five loayes and the two
fishes .He was not a mixer" the
kind demanded by the fashionable type
of congregation of the day. Why, We
have some ministers not hundred
miles from Vinita who affiliate with
almost anything and everything, il
they may but keep the steak on the
table" These are the fellows who
cut out OF their theology everything
that would offend the fastidious taste
OF their Emersonian audiences and
supporters. These are the kind from
whose "dumb-dog" lips you never hear
a word about hell 1t would be quite
improper to give utterauce to any
such effete expression They have
eliminated the devil and relegated
him to the region Of mythical oblivion.
No wonder an editor of a secular and
prominent daily of the west made this
observation not long ago. and pro-
pounded the following questions;

ioned orthodoxy? What of faith that

ed. We could not have a dozen express
messengers for different companies

and roundabout way to go at the job.
Would it not be better to have laws
