He has adhered all his life long to
the rule of his mother that boys in or

Managuay, Nicaragua, Aug. 19.-
Martial law is being rightly enforced

The storm raised in some of the
Central American countries by the
proposed canal convention between the
United States and Nicaragua, imply
ing that a protectorate would be estab-
lished over this country, was not felt
here, principally because of the gov

that the army be modified along the

Senate at an early date. Gossip about
the Senate today was that a resolution
calling for the mobilizing of troops
along the border as a step toward the

public might be introduced. 1t is known
that introduction Of such a resolution
is being talked about among senator's
who are dissatisfied with the admins z
tratiOn's Mexican policy. Senator Pen,

heard to put In the record a list Of the
Americans who have been killed,
wounded or outraged in Mexico. Demo-
cratic leaders fear an attempt OF this
kind. They are apprehensive it would
arouse the American people and per-
haps sweep congress off its feet.

RERATING POSTAL MATTER.

Postmaster General IIitchcOCk'S sug-
geStion that the third and fourth
classes of mail matter should be con-
soidated seems 10 be- on the whole. n
sensible one. There is no good reason
why the third class should not be
merged in the fourth class now that
the parcel post service has been on
largcd and is prepared 70 handle pack
ages Of much the same character as
are now sent third class. In such a
consolidation. however. the present
advantage 10 the sender of small
pieces OF third class matter should not
be forfeited.
The third class embraces few objects
books. circulars. printed matter on
paper, proof sheets. corrected proof
sheets and copy accompanying the
same. correspondence Of the blind
printed i'm raised characters, seeds
scions. cuttings. roots and plants
These commodities are suitable for
transportation by parcel post. and II
would be a public convenience in many
respects 10 have them included in the
fourth class matter. especially since
the limit of weight on third class mat
ter except FOR single books. is still fOur
pounds.
Mr. Hitchcock Justly says that the
rates for the two classes do not bear
an intelligent relation TO each other
The charge on third class mail is one
cent for every two ounces or fraction
thereof. Packages under four ounces
go cheaper bv third class than they
would by fourth class. since the parcel
post rate for parcels up 10 four ounces
is one cent an ounce or fraction there
of. The charge on a four-ounce PACK
age would be- two cents by third
class and -four cents by fourth class
But above four ounces the situation l.
reversed Within the first zone the
parcel post charge is only S cents
rate is 16 cents Even within the
fourth zone the parcel post charS
would be II cents for two pounds.
while the third class rate is Is cents.
But in the more extensive zones tile
charge for parcels again becomes high
er than the charge for third class
matter.
It would probably he better 10 de-
away with these discrepancies by
merging the two classifications and
allowing present third class rates 10
stand on all articles weighing up to
four ounces. The parcel post is des-
tined to play great part in the oper
ations Of the postal service and the

There is probably some ground for

But that does not mean that they are
