Discussion of Merger
Between Republicans and
PrOgressives Postponed

"Too much Christmas was the way
County Chairman Herbert w. Taylor
put it when he raped for order last
night at the regular monthly meeting
of the Republican County COMMITTEES
and found but few committeeman in
their seats. 1t had been planned to
discuss the question of Republicans
and Progressives meeting on a COM
mon ground. The slim attendance
made the meeting failure and the
plan will come up at their next meet
ing next year.
The program was resolution which
Howard Marshall, of East Orange,
had stated at the meeting of asst
month he would bring up, and which
was to deal with the question Of hav-
ing the Progressives unite forces with
the Republicans.
County Counsel Benjamin T. Jones
at that meeting immediately voiced
his opposition to any attempt to fill
the ranks of the G. o. p. by coaxing
the Progressives to come In. While
Mr.. Marshall appeared at the meet
ing, Mr.. Jones, who had promised to
line up with the heavy artillery
against him, did not come.
Because of the slim attendance Mr..
Taylor therefore asked Mr.. Marshall
If he would be satisfied to let his pro-
ject rest until the next regular meet
ing in January. AS the latter agreed,
the meeting adjourned.

LIMIT ON PARCEL
POST IS JUMPED
Packages Up to Fifty Pounds to
Be Received, Beginning With
First of Year.

Preparations are being made at the
Newark postoffice for carrying out
new orders of the postoffice depart
ment at Washington relative to modi-
flying the limit of weight and rates of
postage on parcel post shipments.
Under the proposed changes in the
parcel post system the public will be
enabled to secure additional advan-
tages over the old system of express
ing packages instead of sending them
through the mail
The new order which has been sent
to postmasters throughout the coun-
try by Postmaster General Albert S.
Burleson is as follows:
ION and after January /, 1914, the
limit of weight of parcels of fourth
class mail for delivery within the
first and second zones shall be in
creased from twenty to fifty pounds,
and in the third, fourth. fifth, sixth,
seventh and eighth zones from eleven
to twenty pounds.
The rate of hostage on parcels ex-
ceeding four ounces in weight in the
third, fourth, fifth and sixth zones
shall be as follows:
Third Zone-Six cents for the first
pound and two cents for each addi-
tional pound or fraction thereof.
Fourth Zone-Seven cents for the
first pound and four cents for each
additional pound or fraction thereof.
Fifth Zone-Eight cents for the
first pound and six cents for each
additional pound or fraction thereof
sixth Zone-Nlne cents for the first
pound and eight cents for each addi-
tional pound or fraction thereof.
"All regulations or parts of regula-
tons in conflict herewith are hereby
rescinded"
Reduces Price Also.
The local zone rate which enabled
person to send a parcel weighing no
more than twenty pounds for fifty
cents will be changed so that a fifty
pound package may be sent to any
place WITHIN the jurisdiction of the
Newark postoffice for thirty cents.
For the first zone, which means any
point within fifty miles of Newark,
the rates for the first twenty pounds
will remain the same as last year.
That is, a twenty-pound package
may be sent through the mail to
point fifty miles away for twenty
four cents.
Under the rule which goes into eff
feet the first of next year, any par
eel weighing not more than fifty
pounds may be sent through the mail
to any point no more than fifty miles
away The postal rates graduate
until the fifty-pound parcels may be
sent fifty miles for fifty-four cents.
Postmaster Book is preparing cir
culars for distribution to all depart
ment stores, factories and other bust
ness houses which will explain the
new order. 1t is expected that the
change will mean a large increase in
the business transacted through the
local postoffice. The postmaster and
heads of other departments here are
hoping that the new postoff1ce which
Congress has voted for Newark will
be erected in time to relieve the now
congested condition which promises
to become unbearable under the new
parcel post order.

"City;s Heart" Is Greater
Than It's Greatest Industries
Or. Harris r. Cooley Would
Make Cleveland the "City
of Good Will"

CLEVELAND. Dec. 27.-Has a city
heart?
What is its heart worth to ito
the people who live in the city?
"A city HEARTH it be large and
throbbing and feeling for the least of
its eitizens-is worth more than big
industries or a large population"
That's the creed of Rev. DIR. Harris
r. Cooley, director of the new de-
partment of welfare in Cleveland, 0.
He would change the motto of
Cleveland to THE city of good will,
because the peace and happiness of
a community Is more to be desired
than commercial prosperity.
"Tifhes are changing. Cities are
changing. Ambitions and standards
of men and women are changing.
And all changes are inevitably
tending towards a reverence for
human life, it's fellowship and com
munity interests" declares DR. Cooley.
In an address before the Chamber
of Commerce DIR. Cooley enumerated
these reasons why Cleveland Is high
