PARCEL POST NOT FATAL

Evidently under the inspiration
of the express companies, the public
were educated to believe that a
parcel post spelled bankruptcy to
the country merchant. The trade
paper preached it for years; to the
country dealer it was a constant
nightmare. and even people who
favored the idea did so with some
pangs of sympathy for the poor
dealer who was to be put out of
business by the big mail-order houses
in the large cities. The parcel post
has been in operation some eight
months, and can you name one soli-
tary country dealer who has failed
in business during that time that
can honestly say the parcel post did
it?
We read of cooked meats and
cakes that mother actually made,
going by post to her boy in the city;
of asparagus and crisp radishes from
friend to friend; of human ashes
and all sorts of curious and unusual
things finding their destination
through the medium of parcel post,
but how many articles which the
country merchant has in stock on
his shelves are ordered from the
city to come back by parcel post?
AS a matter of fact, one of the
largest mail order houses in the
world makes practically no effort to
advertise its goods in towns which
have really up-todate department
store, and ships the greats bulk of
its sales ly freight as when there
was no parcel post. The new SER
vice was needed, and is proving of
great service to the people; but for
the most part the business, includ-
ing articles which are now sent be-
cause the rate permits, and which
were seldom shipped under express
rates. 1t did not occur to people
to pay 25 or 35 cents express on
articles which the recipient could
buy in his own town for or 10
cents; but when the 10 cent article
can be mailed for half its cost, the
thing becomes practicable. But as
for putting the country dealer out
of business. that was simply the
dream of the express companies. =

WOODROW HAS NAMEsA AXE
Prize Winner at Douglas Baby
Show Will Bear His Name

While the goddess of pulchritude
did not linger longer at the cot OF

he was baby, than was necessary
to bestow ordinary good looks upon
him, it will be remembered that the
presidents namesake, Woodrow Will
son, won the prize as the handsom-
est baby iu Douglas in the baby
show. July 9th. President Wilson
was Informed of this honor to his
name by United States Senator
Marcus A. Smith recently.
The following special dispatch ap-
peared. under date of July 25th, in
the New York Times.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-Senator
Mark Smith, of Arizona, called on
President Wilson today. He told
the reporters that the purpose OF
his visit was to inform the president
that Woodrow Wilson, of Douglas,
Arizona, who was born on last elec-
ton day, had won the beauty prize
in a baby show IN Douglas"
MF. and Mrs. j. A. Wilson, OF
9l4 Seventh street, parents of the
premier baby of Douglas, are proud,
and with cause, of the clipping and
the fact that their child has been
brought to the notice of the presi-

to Sonora often, and he is at pres

Tucson, Douglas and Bisbee got
into a terrible stew over the thought
that the Westgard pathfinder party
would cut them out on the trip from
Los Angeles to New York City. But
it seems it was only tempest in a
tea pot, as Westgard intended to
make the side trip to these places
on his way from Phoenix to Stafford,
the metropolis of the Gila valley.

sULZER AND TAMMANY

SULZER AND TAMMANY
Tammany Hall is making it prett.
hot for Governor Sulzer these days
Former Saloonkeeper Charles Muir
ply, who succeeded Dick Croker al
leader of the biggest grating politi
cal organization on earth, is tht
man behind the guns and Sulzer il
now feeling the full strength Of
Marphy's pull with the New York
legislature.
Governor Sulzer instituted reforms
that would benefit the people and
he showed by the investigation OF
the different state departments that
the people were being robbed by
the most bare-faced methods,
Now, if there is anything that
Tammany Hall and Murphy objects
to, it is the interference with its
time-honored rights to rob the dear
people, right that Tammany Hall
has exercised ever since its organi-
zation. Consequently, it was foolish
for good democrat like Billy Sulzer
to interfere and show up the graft
ing that was done under the pliable
Murphy governor, Dix. and try to
purify the democratic party of New
York.
Tammany Hall never was demo.
cratic organization. 1t has always
been the representative of the worst
elements of the city of New York.
Its history is a strench In the
nostriIs of every honest citizen, not
only of New York. but of the entire
country. It's membership is made
up from the lowest divesand brothels,
and its leaders never hesitate to use
the strength of the organization to
graft on the people. high and low.
The greatest blot on the demo-
cratic party for years has been the
knowledge that Tammany Hall was
the representative democratic or
ganization in the State of New York,
and that it controlled the party
politics at City and State conventions
and was always big factor to con.
tend with at national conventions.
Yet notwithstanding its bad record,
its ability to keep in line every dive.
keeper, every crook, every gambler,
every bawdy house keeper. in fact
every representative of the very
lowest order of life in New York,
made it a formidable organization
and one that had to be recognized
by the political leaders on account
of its political strength.
Murphy and Tammany Hall does
not represent democracy and never
will. 1t will sell out the democratic
candidate for governor any time to
keep its hold on New York City and
has done so. 1t sold out Cleveland
in 1883 and will repeat its dirty
work any time it becomes necessary
to prevent its hold on the govern
ment of New York being broken.
Such is Tammany and such is its
leader, and as long as it reigns and
has control in the States politics,
so long will it be impossible for any
honest democratic governor to bring
about much needed reforms. For
Tammany was organized for graft
and by graft 1t lives.
1t is natural for Charley Murphy
to hate Billy Sulzer or any honest
democrat that believes in the gov
ernment of the people BY the people,
and the job put up on Sulzer to get
him out of Office and put the pliable
Glynn in the governors chair, is
due to Sulzer's declaration that he
would wear no bosses collar. hence
Murphy's enmity is perfectly clear.
