La Toilette on Wilson.

After condemning the efforts of the
Progressives in Congress to form a
third party, Senator La Toilette gives
praise to President Wilson in the cur
rent number of his weekly, urging
"all honest men in Congress" to give
the new Chief Executive their cordial
support. He has this to say:
He evinces disposition to meet re-
sponsibilities. He is not waiting for
them to be thrust upon him. He is
not satisfied to sit in his place and dis
attribute the spoils of office. He has en-
tered at once upon the great task
committed to him and his party He
has promptly called an extra session
pr Congress. He is ready to put forth
plan for tariff revision. 1t will be
Dfollcwed in good time with currency
legislation. and later his administra-
ton will deal with trusts, conservation,
an6 social wrongs, generally and spe-
-i6cally.
The responsibility for this pro-
)Eramme is upon the Democratic party.
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1913-04-12
Popular, but Not Yet Proven.

The seventeenth amendment to the
Federal Constitution has been ratified
and if the popular election of Senators
will elevate the standard of the Unit
ed States Senate it will prove a well
come addition and innovation. But
the question is whether results in those
States, which have anticipated such
constitutional authority, are encour-
aging.
There is a popular distrust Of the
Senate evident on all sides. In the
comments to be read in certain State
papers of acknowledged standard, and
which are mirroring public opinion in
those parts of the country, this dis
trust is directly traceable to the unfit
ness of some of the men chosen by
the popular or direct vote.
Popular primaries in the Southern
States long ago have nullihed the effect
of the constitutional provision with re-
spect to the election of Senators, and
in States where this has been done the
new amendment merely will provide
constitutional authority for what
hitherto had been done without that
specific authority.
There is not the slightest doubt as
to the popularity of the new amend
ment The demand for it practically
is nationwide, but the wisdom of the
change remains to be demonstrated.
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1913-04-12

But the minority in the House and
Senate must meet its responsibility as
well. 1t is no time for trihing or
playing politics, or trying to put the
Wilson administration in a hole. II
is no time for the Roosevelt Perkins
party or the Republican party to ma
neuver for 1916 The American people
demand that money and credit and
transportation, and the market place
where labor and the products of labor
are bought and sold, be freed from the
control of powerful interests, If the
Wilson administration offers egisla-
ton which will best accomplish this
result, it is the duty of the minority
to support that legislation. If not it
will be the duty of the minority to
offer better legislation instead.
No greater opportunity was ever
presented for patriotic, craftsmanship.
The field is open to the minority as
well as to the majority.
The Wisconsin statesman and pro-
gressive leader leaves no doubt as to
where his sympathies will be in the
new lineup of the parties in Con-
gress. He is not with the Progress
sives, and though he is now once more
classed as regular Republican, he
means to give his personal support to
all progressive measures emanating
from the White House 1t is we'll
established fact that he represents
group of Republican Senators, so that
if there should be a detection of five
or six Democratic Senators on certain
clauses of the tariff revision bill, the
administration may have to look to
this group of La Follette's to assist in
passing the measure.
There are prominent men on the
other side of the Capitol who are more
than willing to be Wilson Demo-
Gratis" although they are not Demo-
Gratis.

CHINESE DECLARATION
is MADE PUBLIC
Newspapers Failed to Get "Address
to the World" So Bryan Sup
niles Deficiency.

Secretary of State Bryan sprung a
scoop yesterday in making public an
address to the world which was adopt
ed by the Chinese Assembly on the oc-
casion of its first meeting last Tuesday.
The Pekin correspondents OF European
and American newspapers did not put

CORP. JOHN TANNER
WILL BE RETAINED
President Wilson Is Said to Intend
Keeping Legless Veteran as
Register of Wills.

Corp. John Tanners civil war record
will keep him in the Office Of Register of
Wills for the District in spite of the
fact that he is lifelong Republican and
that fully dozen Democrats have asked
for the appointment. President Wilson,
considering only the applicants excellent
work in the office during the past nine
years and his service to his country dur
ing the civil war, has practically made
up his mind that Tanner will he re-
tanned.
Corp. Tanner is legless veteran of
the civil war, having had both legs
shot from under him. by a shell in the
second battle of Bull Run. He is promi-
nent in G.. A. r. circles, having formerly
served as commander-in-chief. He was
appointed to his present position by Pres
ident Roosevelt in 1904
Mr.. Tanner was born in Richmond

outbreak of the civil war he enlisted in

Parcel Post Changes Needed.

The parcel post has passed beyond
the influence of Congress. The Post
master General will have his hands
full of parcel post reform as soon as
he can rid himself of the thousands OF
appointments he has now under con-
sideration. Three changes in the
present law are particularly needed
Classification of the articles mailable,
the weight limit, and general condi-
tons of AVAILABILITY. All these changes
and many others may be made by the
Postmaster General under the powers
vested in him in the act of August ~,
1912
Publishers of pamphlets or cata-
logues cannot now use the parcel post
to send out such literature in packages
shipped as merchandise. The depart
ment has ruled that no printed matter
can be sent under the cover of goods,
as such a practice would tend to elm
mate much matter from the second
class or letter mail Our merchants
fail to see any cause for continuing this
regulation. On the contrary, they in
sist upon its being discontinued. Why
prevent that which is obviously an
economical and convenient practice?
1t is estimated that 90 per cent Of
the business which might be done by
the parcel post is now lost, because
it costs too much to pack certain
classes of goods. Some of the de-
tailed directions as to blocks, tubes of
metal, cushions of cotton or felt" &C.,
as covers, are too expensive to follow
except in rare cases, and then only for
the sending of samples. Liquids ought
to be mailable on a commercial scale,
or this large and profitable business
will remain in the hands of the ex-
press companies.
For what special reason the weight
limit has been fixed at eleven pounds
it is difficult to surmise. Experts have
calculated that o5 per cent of the ex-
press business consists of shipments
weighing 100 pounds or less, while the
average weight is thirty-two pounds
If the government would place the
limit, if the limit were thirty pounds,
this would bring the parcel post into
immediate competition for the great
bulk of the business done by the ex-
press companies, besides permitting a
full utilization of the rural free de-
livery service. which taps a great ter
ritory practically untouched by private
enterprise. Of course, there would be
the necessity for employing convey
ances in the cities, such as there are
in use in Europe, but the greatly in
creased volume of business and reve-
nue. therefrom would warrant it, and
besides the rural letter delivery is
done altogether by means of horse and
wagon, anyway, because of the dis
tances covered.
