Wants the Parcel Post Provisions
Extended to Include Books.

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
While the parcel post was a gigantic
undertaking. 1t seems that with the
time given for its preparation several
Objectionable features could have been
avoided
About the most important feature yet
to be remedled is the fact that revolt
vers can be mailed by parcel post.
but books cannot Why not books i?
Why this discrimination in favor of
implements of violence and against
implements for the diffusion of intel
ligence? Everybody expected to find
flaws in the parcel post system in its
experimental stage. Hardly anybody
could have expected to find a flaw so
gross as this.
one OF the first Improvements in the
parcel post system should be to broad
en- IL to include books.

AN ORIGINAL PROGRESSIVE.

The name of former Congressman William b.
Lamar of Florida will be presented to President
elect Wilson for place in the Cabinet. Mr. Wilson
has indicated intent to place only progressves on
guard. He will, if ne adheres to that purpose do
well to look into the claims of Mr. Lamar. At least
ne was progressive among Democrats, and plain
spoken and courageous one, long before that sort
of opinion became as popular as it is today.
Mr.. Lamar had stormy time in his later years
in the House, because of his independence and pro-
gressiveness On railroad rate legislation he de-
clared as early as 1904 for measures that at that
time were still regarded as dangerous and heterodox
by the moderates of both parties; measures against
which committees were packed and rules were made
rigorous to the last degree. The very men who now
point with pride to the public service which they
have since rendered in supporting these measures,
were then antagonistc to most of what Mr. Lamar
vigorously demanded.
In Florida, Mr. Lamar was never in good odor
with the old raroad-Flagler machine that con-
trolled the State. He declined to serve it or its
ends At least, there can be no doubt of his sim
cerity, for he was a pioneer when pioneering was
not profitable and when insincere men did not COM
nit themselves to it. Mr.. Lamar in 1904 made a
speech which declared for about all the useful things
tnat have been written into the railroad laws since,
and then some. How many more liberal Democrats
of that sort will Mr.. Wilson find in his collection Of
Cabinet candidates?

Eommends Times Editorial on the
COlOred Race. -

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
Allow me to commend you for your
editorial in the issue of the 10th in
stant entitled THE Advance of the
Colored Man
To DR.. Washington is due great credit
for his energies and efforts in teaching
the members of his race to improve
themselves and grasp every possible
opportunity, and therefore place before
the world the true status OF thousands
of others VINO are endeavorinS day by
day to be counted among the best law
abiding citizens wherever they live
When the leading daily papers like
The Times, begin to write. of our
achievements and the struggle that Is
being made by hundreds of them to
better their conditions in life. as often
as they publish about our failures and
short comings; l am sure that the
former will serve as an inspiration TO
hundreds of them to be able to read
of the good as often as we have here
tofore read prejudiced accounts always
giving to the world the bad side.

THE TRIUMPHANT ENGLISH TONGUE.

Press dispatches from. Germany state tnat the
Berlin police force is sending certain officers to the
language school to learn English, in order that they
may direct the increasing numbers of Engsh-speak-
ing visitors who throng the Berlin streets. They
add that if the plan is successful it will be extended
to Leipzig Dresden, and other cities They will
wear, so We further informed, "a band on their
arms, on which the Union Jack and the Stars and
Stripes will be crossed" If this experiment is Sue
cessful other languages will be added.
All this is very suspicious. Those devilsn Ger
mans must be preparing another invasion into Eng
land or fresh attempt at subverting the Monroe
Doctrine-there can be no doubt about it. How?
Why by exhibiting the superior civilization of Ger

an American city if attempt were made to pro-

EUROPEAN DIPLOMACY BANKRUPT.

For the second time within three months Euro
pean diplomacy is revealing itself as phrase instead
of force in its attempts to obviate the danger of
resumption of hosttes in Southeastern Europe.
Once more, as before the outbreak of the war tnat
brought Europe to the verge of chaos, beribboned
chancelors splitting formulas while the passions
of nations are tuggng at the leash.
Austria is unwilling TO join in collective at
tempt to open the eyes of Turkey to the final fact
of her defeat because sne has an itching palm for

Italy is modifying the international note TO the
porte because she cannot reconcile herself to the
idea of giving up the Egean Islands to the allies.
Germany is delaying the imperativey necessary
drastic action because she wants to make sure that
her allies Austria and Italy, quite satisfied with
the terms of settlement.
In the meanwhile the statesmen of Vienna are
egging Roumana on in her selfchosen part of inter-

BAD FOR THE CANNERIES.

The National Gamers Association favors the in
vestigation by Congress of canning conditions the
country over, but what it should do its own part
is to help eliminate the child labor and the unsani
tary canneries described by Miss OReilly, of Bos-
ton, and Frank c. Praete, a New York labor de-
partment agent, before the House Committee on
Rules
No inquiry by Congress can possibly have a
better result than that, and the do much
to put the reform into effect if they will AT least
two of the canning firms whose methods of operation
amazed and disguised the Representatives are men,
bers of the association, and such dsgraceful con-
ditions the committee heard about are sufficient
to cast discredit the whole association They de-
tract from the associations claim that the canning
industry is all that it should be.
Congress cannot move so effectively in this case
as can the various States in which the enterprises
thrive. The association should cooperate with the
public-spirted men and women that endeavoring
to suppress child labor which disgraces the country
and to change the methods requiring young women
to work l20 hours a week. If if does not the can
ming industry is sure to suffer.

Church. who on Sunday night last. at
tackled the Stotesburys and declared
they should be tarred and feathered for
encouraging the smoking Of cigarettes

statement
Mr.. Dagger says: Il see now that my
remarks were taken too literally and

I meant nothing personal The harsh
expression, 'tarred and feathered.' was
preceded in my utterance by the WORD

NEW POLITICAL FORCES.

The last election brought into public attention
forces which have hitherto been reckoned politically
neggibe-college professors, clergymen, social work.
ers and the like who for the most part, have hitherto
been content with tine attitude of silent influence"
The election of college professor to the Presidency
marks distinct turn that will have to be reckoned
with in the future And it is due entirely to the fact
that the liberalizng movements Of our national awak
ening to the need of social service have finally
reached the political stage. The frank and brave
utterances of men like Prof Irving Fisher the fact
that clergyman was the presiding officer of the
Ohio constitutional convention, that minister is to-
day being balloted for United States Senator in New
Hampshire are symptomatic of new political forces
which the popular awakening has released and which
are liable to be potent in the future.
There is not university or college some of
whose officers or professors are not fairly in the
political field The active employment of the trained
intelligence of the nation will work something like
political revolution. The evidences of il already
here 1t is significant that for the most part these
new forces are facing the daylight and are in the
truest and most effective sense progressive.

CAPTURE THREE
ROBBERY SUSPECTS
New York Detectives Said to Have
Landad Men Who Robbed Simons'
Pawn shop For $250,o0o.

New York, April 1.-THE police re.
ceived word early today from Halle
ton, Pa, that a man calling himself
Joseph Stone, an Englishman, and two
other men had been arrested there by
New York detectives who have been
at work on the theft of $250,000 worth
of 5ewelry from the pawnshop Of
Martin Simons and Sons on the east
side here q month ago. Deputy Po-
lice Commissioner Geo. S. yDougherty
said two of his detectives had been
trailing three suspected men every
since the robbery According to word
from Hazleton the men were found to
have burglar tools in their possession.
The robbery of the Simons pawn
shop was one of the most successful
here in years. The burglars, care
fully avoiding all alarm wires Of
doors and windows cut their way into
the Simons shop and dug their way
through the thick wall Of a stone and
mortar vault to the wealth Of booty
with which they easily escaped.
The men arrested at Hazleton are
held so far as known here, only on the
local charge Of carrying burglar tools.
