Parcel Post o. D.

On July the G. o. D. department
in connection with parcel post goes
into effect. This is the first Of the
extensions of the system since it's
introduction about six months ago,
and provides a means for. collecting
the money due for the goods shipped
and for the postage paid on them by
the sender.
Just who this is going to benefit
is something of a question, except
that it will undoubtedly prove a good
thing for the retail mail order
houses. They can now ship goods
to unknown parties without getting
money in advance and be sure that
they will get their pay before the
customer can get his merchandise.
AS far as the retail merchant is
concerned, the G. O.. D. privilege can
be made useful for those who are
running strictly cash business and
in selling to such buyers whose credit
standing renders them doubtful
risks. \. .a.... ..-.EE... -: !. IT,.
The further effect of this provis-

RESTORING GARDEN OF EDEN
British Engineer Believes System Of
Irrigation Will Bring Back Fer
tlllty to the Locality.

Sir William Wilcocks delivered
an interesting lecture before the
members of the Royal Geographical
society in London one night recent
ly on the subject of "The Garden of
Eden and Its Restoration"
He said it was no unreasoning
tradition which placed the Garden
of Eden of Sumer and Akkad at
Garma, the late point of junction of
the Tigris and Euphrates, though he
could not but think it would event.
ually be found just north Of Ur, at
the ancient junction of the two riv-
ers. Today, on the lower Euphrates,
in that very region, the Arab con-
querors of the seventh century
placed one of their four earthly par
adiscs. The trees of life were there
shcltering the garden, and the for
hidden fruit Of the vine, the nectar
of the gods, but INDUCED in by cur
ious Eve, to her undoing. Before any
work was undertaken for the regula-
ton of the Tigris or raising its food
surface, borings should be taken
from up stream of the site Of
Nimrod's dam, in a southcastcrly d.
rection, to see if it might not be
possible to initiate the action of the
old Babylonian engineers, and turn
the Tigris again over the conglom-
crate. If such action could be taken.
there would be an economy Of over
$5,000,000. It was his firm trust
that works carried ont on the broad
lines of the project he had submit
ted to the Turkish government
would secure a firm foundation for
the resuscitation and further pros
perity of that once famous land.

SAXON HAS GIRDLED EARTH
Where the Thin Red Line Has Not
Gone Man Has Not
Found.

The Saxon has marked around
this earth, as no other race before
him, the scarlet circle of his power.
This thin, red Saxon line, so thin
with his numbers, so red with his
blood. was made possible only by his
heroism and his racial fealty.
Where this line has not gone man
has not found. It has crossed every
sea; it has travccscd every desert; it
has sought every solitude; it has
passed through camps where only
the sacred ibis fishes; over sands that
have never been moistened; over
SHOWS that have never melted. There
has been no storm it has not cncoun-
tered; no pain it has not endured ;
no race it has not fought and no dis
fase it has not contended with.
This Saxon line has been to the
earth a girdle heroic and tragic,
binding within itself all the old and
ancient places Of the world. 1t has
been silent in its duty, ignored in
its achievement and scorned in its
devotion. Yet it has given down to
this now neglcctful race world such
as mankind has never known before :
nm empire over which the sun and
stars shine together and where night
never falls nor day dawns.-From
"The Saxon and His EMPIRE" by
Homer Lea.

was last week expelled from the
Republican caucus after he had
d5rever disgraced himself by yot-

We were aware Of the fact that

Democratic headquarters.
"When the senatorial fight
was on, two Regular Democrats
from his own town came down
and took him in charge.
"On a majority Of important
votes 10 the Legislature he voted
against Republicans almost as
reliably as a Regular Democrat.
'"After the recess he returned
to Nashville drunk, and answer
cd only one roll call Letween
Monday and Thursday. During
all this time he was in the hands
Of. a professional liquor lobbyist,
who has stayed near HIM at all
times and is permitted by the
speaker to sit inside the bar and
guard his charge. Every day
the house. now submits to the
disgrace CT having this liquor
lobbyist stand guard over two or
three so-called Republican men,
bers, presumably to see that they
vote right.
ITO crown his treachery to the
Republican party and to the peo.
Die Of his county, Boyer voted IN
favor Of the Regular Democratic
election law, which takes away
from the Republican party every
particle Of representation in the
election machinery Of the state.
He voted to put the naming OF
every election official in the
hands Of the liquor Democrats
to rob the people Of their votes,
as has been done In years pasu'
His vote was. the only Republl.
can vote cast for this infamous
bill. This one act should forever

Moreover, he has stood up to-

caucus. It was dishonorable for
him to make any statemenv
