81 600 from the railroad, would write Just the same
kind of stories affecting it as he would have had

The Parcel Post Makes Good.

The parcel post service deserves all the good
things which people are saying about IT, II has been
n real service this Christmas time not name
merely. 1t has accepted parcels without any great
hardship TO the senders and has delivered them
promptly. That was accomplished in this city by the
careful preparations made by Postmaster Morgan
and his bureau heads but there seems TO have been
all through the service the same foresight and zeal
70 make il live no to the great demands and get the
goods TO their destinations on time.
This parcel post service is young. but it has
proved 10 be remarkably healthy and able infant.
This years Christmas business has been about as
stiff test as could be applied TO it, The excellent
result iustifes and makes more welcome the extern
sion of the service which is TO go into effect.

" Honor Is the Subject"

Mr.. Taft, when President once expressed his
willingness to make treat ties which would submit to
arbitration all disputes between nations not except
ing those Involving national honor" AT that there
was a considerable outcry Of dissent and protest
from both parties. but largely from the Democratic
opposition, and it clearly intmated that such
treaty would stand no chance OF ratification in the
Senate
Now that former Democratic opposition being in
Office precisely such a treaty Is being negotiated
with Denmark, and the Secretary OF state is re-
ported 10 he confident Of its ratification.
We should not be surprised If It were ratified. as
similar conventions have been between other nations
every whit sensitive and punctilious on matters OF
honor az we. The fact is. great deal depends upon

can conceive matters which sef-respecting nation
ought to submit TO allen judgment We can also nd

Germany's Imperial Growth.

The German Ambassador makes in his article in
Export American Industries an impressive exhl-
bition OF the growth Of his country in population
wealth. industry and commerce. which Is to be COM
mended to those who think of that empire chiefly as
a military power Of exaggerated ornaments Enor-
nous as has been the increase Of the German army
and navy, It has been surpassed by the develop.
ment of peaceful arts The figures cited by Count
Bernstorff are little less than bewildering i'm their
suggestion Of the economic virility and potency of
the Teutonc people.
This growth may be called imperial in a literal as
well as fguratlve sense, because ii has occurred
both since and largely because Of the organization
Of the empire. The change which effected In
1871 was comparable with that which occurred
when our own confederation was discarded for the
Federal Union under the Constitution. Websters
familiar tribute to the fiscal and economic achieve

applied to the achievements Of Germany under the

the immunity from menace which united strength
affords made easy for the German Empire what

No Holiday Pardon for Tolman.

Some Governors become so softened IN heart by the
holiday spirit that they pardon batch Of criminals
TO show their good will toward men. 1t is to be
hoped Governor Glynn will acquire no such soft
ness of heart in the OF the loan shark Tolman
whose friends are busy. The sentence he Is sery-
ing seems inadequate enough for repentance and
reform when the utter meanness and wickedness of
his usury are considered.
There is no evidence that he has repented or re-
formed. He is smarting under punishment, and his
lawyers and friends, won by the money he has
squeezed out Of the hardshps Of the poor are trying
10 relieve him. His chief basis for the request for
pardon seems to he willingness to destroy usurous
notes which could not be enforced under the law. 1t
is slim ground, even in this time Of charity and
peace.

resemble ordinary horseshoes, except that
they have large groove on the under side
