MAKING PROGRESS BACKWARD.

Ostensibly engaged In an attempt to show
that Postmaster Burleson exceeded his authority
when he abolished the special parcel post stamp
and also when he issued his order Increasing
the size of packages that might be sent by that
post, Senator Bristow. OF Kansas managed to
edge In some of the old. old express company
arguments against the entire parcel post system.
The following colloQuy took place when Mr.
Rurleson appeared before the senate postoffire
committee Friday:
IN explaining the revenues received from par
Icel post matter, Postmaster General Rur,aso,
SAID that since the Introduction of the MARCEL
post the revenue OF the Chicago postoffica had
.n a,' .1lss per cent, an increase. in his
opihloh' ohe 20 the parcel post. He said this
Chicago Office ' VI '"e
That's because the big mail order housas are
iocaIed there, interrupted Senator BrIstow
T. Yes. and they were honestly in favor of
abo!ishing the parcel post stamp" said Mr.,
Hurleson.
II dare say in favor of the reduced COST and
increased size, said Senator Bristow
senator Bristow claims to be progressive. bu,
we find him here arguing for the abolition Of
one of the few progressive reforms inaugurated
by the Taft administration. just as few days
ago we found him doing his little best to be
little one OF the country's greatest reformers
and just as we will find him later assailing the
progressive tarir bill of the Democratic party
Senator Bristow is. fast becoming a carpine
critic. who opposes everything the opposition
party does just because 1t Is not his party doins
II. 1t will be long time. we believe, before
Senator Bristows party. whether 1t be Progress

Looking back along the way we have come

seemed TO be no hope anywhere. when the tan.

somehow, by lapse of time, by change In condi-

All Oh us Will nave more ana new tangieS IN

avoid them for ourselves they will come to us
from others. It is the fate OF those so blest as
to have few troubles of their own to have thrust
upon them the sorrows and problems of many.
The selfish man who has no sympathy for his
fellows creates his own loneliness, isolation and
unhappiness. The sympathetic man shares the
sufferings and burdens Of his community even
when he has few OF his own. While we live we
must address ourselves to the task OF untanglng
Therefore we should study how to do 1t. Done

PEOPLES FORUM
Editor OF The Virginian:

Editor OF The Virginian
Sir.-Referring to the statement In The vir-
gilman of Monday to the effect that Rev. Stokes
is bitterly opposed to park for the negroes
of Richmond, l wish to say that / really hope
that the administrative board win give the
negroes park TO themselves.
You will remember that Mr.. Stokes stated
that the better class of coored people does
not go to the parks. sincerely hope that the
mayor will analyze that statement. The better
class OF whites go to the parks and am sure
that the negroes better than the whites
that they cannot patroniEe the parks also.
wish this to be published that The negroes
OF Richmond can see that everybody Do not
against them. ] would like to argue this with
Mr.. Stokes to get his reasons for fighting any
thing good. Negroes have had parks in Rich
n.ond and II did not take Mr. Stokes nor ell the
police in town to keep them quiet either.

COST OF INTERVENTION.

No one knows just how many foreigners have
lost their lives and just how much property
has been destroyed in Mexico since the downfall
of old Poririo Diaz. but 1t is certain that inter
vention by the United States would cause far
greater loss OF life and far greater Se6truction
OF property. Mexican revolutions may have slain
their thousands, but Intervention would Stay Its
tens of thousands.
What is Intervention for? Is It not to stop
loss of life and destruction Of property? But T.
intervention would increase. rather than end
slaughter why intervention
