Fargo in Line

WHEN it was suggested some
years ago that the government take
up the parcels post proposition a
general objection mas made to the
innovation by the express compan-
les. They evidently had a right to
fear for their profits, as now the
packages at the same low rate in
augurated by the government.
For the past ten years the en-
press companies have religiously
fought and prevented the installa-
ton Of the parcel post business.
They kept a lobby for the purpose
and did prevent the action taking
place on several occasions.
When a committee finally investi-
gated the profits OF the express COM
panies and found that they ranked
next to Standard Oil. the excuse OF
ruination could no Longer stand and
the parcels post law passed.
Now that inroads are made into
the profits, and more are promised
the same express companies ar,
nounce that they will fight the
scheme by carrying express packages
at the same rate the government ie
making. In fact. it has brought the
outfit down to a basis where the peo'
pie will benefit to ONE extent, AMI
a real competitor has taken issue
with Wells Fargo and other COM
panies, that for years laughed at
complaints and charged all that the
patrons woud stand.
1t was not 4 question oil distance,
OF weight or Of value: it was pay 4
go without. and pay the nos exces-
sive prices ever known in any civil
ized section.
The prediction was made by the
trainers of the bill that the express
companies would come down to the
government mark when the bill went
into effect. The express companies
denied that they would. but they are
coming. and for once the peopc are
taking a clean delight III watching
this outfit, which made them squirm,
eating peacefully from the consum-
er's hands. All the bite has been
taken out and it's down to business
with Fargo and the rest of this old
highway outfit.

Frank, but Apt

GOVERNOR WILSON'S amaz-
ing irankness fills the conservatives
in his party with alarm, inspires the
mischievous with glee, and causes
those of serious mind and yet pro-
gressive spirit to waver between anx-
iety and hope. They wonder IT he
is strong enough to carry so high
and open a hand against his enemies
and single-minded enough to keep
the ends, now so clear ahead of him,
always free from obscuring clouds
OF ambition and expediency and open
to his vision: and wise enough 10
keep friendly and helpful the influ-
ences. which the greatest and brav-
est men have to reserve for support
to make the battle successful.
He has not said the wrong thing
yet, and therefore has not experience
ed the depression which follows
popular rebuff. the encouragement
which one appeals from hostile criti-
cism to find the mass unsmypathetic,
even friends cold. He may never
say the wrong thing. He may .sav
so many things that one particular
thing will not matter. and be able
to overtake a slip or a mistake by
following it almost Immediately with
the palliating qualifications. All
this remains to be seen. Meanwhile
the frankness OF his running COM
ment day by day is matched by its
aptneSs.
