HELPS COUNTRY MERCHANT.
Parcels Post Enables Him to Meet
Competition of Big Mail Order
Houses-opportunity Broadened
for Progressive storekeepers.

/ It should be remembered that
every storekeeper, now that the par
cells post has started, is himself the
center of parcels post zone, which
he can control, says the Beaumont
| Enterprise. It will do the big mail
order houses ne good to establish a
| department in each state, since the
| merchant in his own zone will be
able to distribute his goods under
the most advantageous circumstances.
Therefore, there is no ground for
fearing the parcels post will enable
the big mail order houses to put the
small town storekeeper out of busi-
ness. On the contrary. If the latter
will seek in an enlightened manner
to make use of the advantage it
gives him; advertise through his 10
cal paper what he can do with it's
assistance, and make a serious effort
to deserve patronage, he will find
the mail order houses are no longer
in a position to do him great damage.
The New York Evening Journals ad-
vice to the country press is:
Boom the parcels post; make it
better; explain to your local store
keeper that through it he can deliver
goods direct. He can be the agent
of the manufacturer, who has not
time to start a mail order house,
and no inclination to do it.
Let the storekeeper advertise
through the country newspapers what
he can do.
LET the country newspapers i'm
press upon the manufacturers the
fact that they, the editor and coun-
try merchants, are the only salesmen
in direct contact with those that live
in the country.
There is room for everybody in
this country-that is to say, for
everybody who intends to be of any
service. And the mail order houses
will live. But their great monopoly
will cease.
Do not overlook the fact that
they. being intelligent men, realize
what we have told you here They
szknoV Is for them
In the parcels post. They know it
makes practically worthless their
elaborate system of freight delivery.
which they have built up through
years. They know their system Of
selling hundred pounds of goods at
a time in order to take advantage
of a low freight rate now goes over
board
The country merchant might have
been hurt if blanket parcels post
rate had been put in, but we doubt
it, because to guard against loss the
department must necessarily have fix
ed the rate at a figure high enough
to protect the maximum haul I'm
der the zone system, however, there |
is no chance for the country mer-
chant to suffer, since, in the matter
of rates, he is given the advantage
proximity to his trade creates and af-
forded a means of distributing goods
heretofore non-existent. 1t places
him in constant touch with customers
with whom he has but periodically

formerly came his way at long inter-
walls only.

Good Roads a Necessity.

Good roads are an economic me-
cessity and there is no occasion to
labor the argument. The roads are
an index of the character Of any
community, determining its import
anee and limiting or aiding its ad-
vance, and country that isn't
worth good road isn't worth
what it sells for, and soon won't be
worth living in.-Crowley Signal.

A Confession.

Under the above heading, Chas. A.
] Mcdonald, member Of the police jury
of West Baton Rouge parish, writes
as follows in the Port Allen Sugar
| Planter of Jan. 4
| | am now entering on my fifth
year as member of the police jury.
| When / first became candidate for
this office my plan was better roads
and the application of business
| methods in the caring for roads. We
then had the yearly contract or mill
cage arrangement, whereby the roads
were worked one, two or three times
a year. This struck me as a bad plan
land was abolished in my ward), be-
cause knew it was very often nec-
essary to spend three or four times
as much on certain pieces of road
where others needed very little atten-
ton, partly on account of soil char
acter and partly on account of in
creased wear and tear. In the main,
this plan is used now over the parish.
I believe each member of our
jury has striven his very best to bet
ter our roads, and I think, owing to
improved drainage and better atten-
ton, our dirt roads-soils of like char.
acter compared-are as good as any
in the state. But, although I firmly
believe one dirt road can be made
better than another by drainage and
a little horse sense, I am absolutely
positive no dirt road can stand up
under these slow rains lasting for
week or more. Hence, I conclude,
that with all good intentions, we have
been absolutely wasting public money
in these same makeshift dirt roads.
Therefore, I recommend to the
people of this parish that they come
before their epresentatives-the po-
lice jury-and ask for the appointment
of an able and competent committee
of citizens to Investigate the matter
of betterign our roads and to submit
to the jury some plan whereby bet
ter roads may be obtained. This
committee should be composed of
men who have played no part, or
very little part, in past political strife.
This question is too big, too import
ant, and its solution is too necessary.
for any political by-play It is a plain,
simple, clean-cut business proposition
