EXTENDING THE PARCELS POST.

Two interesting and important developments
Or thet government parcels post service go into
effect today. One Is the collect on delivery"
feature. by whjch Uncle Sam becomes the col
iector for the city merchant and the other is
the ruling OF the postof1ce department which
does away with the special parcels post stamps
required when the system was inaugurated. BY
this ruling the regular postage stamps will be
accepted for parcels post packages, and the
parcels post stamps will be good on letters. The
plan Of the department ts to do away with the
special parcels post stamps altogether and when
the issue Is exhausted they will pass into his
tory. The special issue OF stamps for the par.
cells post system was one OF the chief incon.
veniences and annoyances of an innovation that
was hailed with delight, and with az much
glee will those who find use for the system
welcome the adjustment OF the special stamps.
1t was a nuisance and Postmaster-Genera Bur
Lesson was not long in finding out that fact.
The c. O. D. feature will be equally appre-
ciated by the patrons OF the service, for 1t will
go a long way toward extending It's usefulness.
The next step. probably. will be the reduction
Of rates. The new postmaster-general is making
good with long strides.

THE STAR sHoUID WORRY.

The Winchester Star, pointing out to city
dwellers the vacation dangers absolutely dis
courages any hegira to the urban districts. ITO
the man cooped up In a small Office on the eigh-
teenth floor of skyscraper or the girl locked IN
the cashiers booth in q big store says the
Star, "the. country on q hot summer day looms
as q paradise. And it is. But, chirps the Star.
sthee garden OF Eden was not without a serpent
andsthe ummer resort of today is not without
serpentine teeth" The aforesaid teeth, 1t ap-
pears, Turk around the summer resorts in the
guise Of disease germs. According to the Stdr.
these await the summer visitor at every turn and
while he does not get milk as sweet as the
milk which comes fresh from the COW. he gets
II, II he cares enough, that is free from tuber-
culosis or other germs, and the city water,
while it may not be as fresh as well water, is
freed from typhoid germs before it reaches
you"
That is not good advertising for the country
OF the summer resorts, but we are inclined to the
belief, that the city man who seeks relief from
business cares and city heat will not argue long
with himself over germ possibilities despite the
pessimistic view taken by the Star.

Lincoln's Gettysburg
Address

Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers
brought forth upon this continent a new nation.
conceived In liberty, and dedicated to the
proposition that all men are created equal. Now
we are engaged In a great civil war, testing
whether that nation, or any nation so con-
iceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We
are met on a great battlefield Of that war. We
have come 10 dedicate a portion of that field
as a final resting place for those who here
gave their lives that their nation might live. 1t
is altogether fitting and proper that we should
do this. But. in a larger sense, we cannot dedi-
cate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow
this ground. The brave men, living and dead,
who struggled here, have consecrated 1t far
above our poor power to add or detract. The
world will little note, nor long remember. what
we say here, but 1t can never forget what they
did here. 1t is for us, the living, rather TO be
dedicated here to the unfinished work which
they who fought here have thus far so nobly
advanced. 1t is rather for us to be here dedi-
Gated to the great task remaining before is
that from these honored dead we take increased
devotion to that cause for which they gave the
last full measure of devotion-that we here
highly resolve that these dead shall not have
died in vaIn-that this nation, under God, shall
have a new birth of freedom-and that govern
ment of the people, by the people, for the people,
shall not perish from the earth.

WITHOUT LICENSE AT HEN

On a plea of guilty to the charge of
selling liquor without g. license. r c.
Christian. president. and Barney
Richardson, secretary and treasurer of
the Henrico County club. were each
fined 800 and costs yesterday after
noon by Magistrate Thomas J. Puryear
In Henrico courthouse.
When the two men were drst ar
raigned before the court the maximum
penalty-s2oo fine n thirty days In
jail-was imposed. On request Of their
attorney. Louis o. wendenburg. Jre
two men were allowed to plead guilty
to Illicit sale OF liquor and the s1o0
hnes were imposed. The charge of
maintaining a gambling resort was
dismissed.
The men were arrested O. Sunday
afternoon, when the Henrfco County
club was raided by officers In the hope
of capturing three men who had been
arrested at a picnic at Fair Oaks and
from the officers by a mob.
The picnic was Bohemian in char
acter. in that 1t was decidedly of the
free and easy and unconventional sort.
but 1t was not given by a Bohemian
society or for Bohemians.

so It is. and all because business has become
disorganized and the financial situation dts
turbed by the political conditions. It would be
some relief II the worst that can happen were
realized at once, SO that 1t may be got rid of as
soon as possible.
I'VE are told that there Is really no stringency
in the money market and that the apparent
high price Of money is the result Of a con-
spiracy on the part of capital to retaliate upon
congress for the beneficent new bills which are
intended to secure the emancipation OF the peo-
pie from the shackles of monopoly and of COM
b~inations In restraint Of trade.
AT any rate" exclaims the Picdyune, impa-
tiently, "let whatever is to be done by congress
be done quickly, so that the country may be
relieved from the suspense and pressure OF ex-
pectation. Suspense is often worse than reality,
for It allows the Imagination to ~conjure up evils
that do not exist.
Enact the new tariff right away, and nobody
except the bankers will worry over the banking
bill"
We agree with the Picdvune that there has
been too much delay; let's have some action.

McCarthy's Apology.

AS we anticipated at the time that he would
do, Captain Carlton Mccarthy, OF Richmond,
ex-mayor and member of the municipal admin
ltstrative board. has repenfed of his rash ana
Incorporate utterances which recently set the
town by the ears, and as a manly man should
do. has expressed his regret in a frank apology
given publicity on Thursday.
1t will be- noted that he does not withdraw,
but rather reiternates resentment of the harsh
and unjustihed criticisms of his official course
by a public journal. Unfair and Incorporate
of a man by a newspaper almost al
ways begets resentment and stirs Il-feeing and
Is always to be condemned. A public journal
wtelds great power and has a tremendous re-
sponsihltty not to abuse that power.
We are glad Captain Mccarthy has ex-
pressed his regret for his incorporate Ian
guage. which never strengthens, but rather
|weakens any cause in which IT is uttered. Hav-
ing had the privilege of knowing him rather
intimately, we have always appreciated and
admired the man for his abilities and his fne.
manly qualities and we are hopeful that he
will not again weaken himself by being pro-
voked beyond his endurance. At the same time
newspa pers may not with impuntty nor with JUS
'ttce nag and sneer at and make insinuations
and reckless charges against men every whit as
good and as wise and as public spirited as the
authors of the ritictsms.-Danvule Register.

ENCOURAGING SOUTHERN FARMERS.

Encouraging Southern farmers to raise more
hogs, the Southern railway, through its livestock
department, has issued a booklet entitled Hog
Production and Conditions for Success in the
which contains much practical and val
liable Information as to the care and feeding
OF swine, selection of breeds, treatment of dis.
eases and the cutting and curing OF meat.
That the South consumes more pork and raises
less than any other section of the limited States
despite the fact that pork can be produced
more cheaply than in the North or West is a
we'll known fart and a condition that greatly
impedes progress. The long open season and
the great variety Of food crops at his command
gives the Southern farmer the opportunity to
make d greater revenue out of hog raising than
is possible in any other section of the coun.
try. In encouraging the raising of live stock
by its literature and the employment of experts
whose services are devoted free to the people
along its line, the Southern is doing a great
work, for which it deserves commentator

LET'S HAVE SOME ACTION.

The New Orleans Picugune is inclined to take
a rather pessimistic view OF the situation gen
orally and opens the walls of its wrath upon
congress for not putting on the high gear in
the matter OF the tariff and the banking and
currency reform measures. The Picopune hopes
that these measures within the lifetime OF the
present generation, will open the windows and
sluicee of fortune upon this country but at
the present moment the financial situation in

pierce the ifapenetrabte gloom
when the rich State of Tennessess," says
bearing 4 per cent interest and is forced TO
pay G per cent, and at the same time to discount
the face value of the bonds. so that at least 6h
per cent is paid for money. 1t shows that the
prospect is gloomy enough.
"And II is Just such a prospect which Ia facing
Louisiana when she wants 10 market her 4 per

For the Consideration of Fair Minded Readers

The Richmond virginian of the 10th instant
upon an editorial Of the Times-Dis-
patch. In which charges are made that the legis-
lature is dominated by individual politicians
more than by the governor; that a worse lobby
exists in Virginia than in Washington, and
quotes Senator Burton with reference to the
flooding of congress with petitions by organi-
cations, etc. We are concerned only with what
the Times-Dispatch says upon the last point. as
follows:
LAS far as we are aware. this practice has
never been employed in Virginia. save by GER
tain persons representing the Anti-Saloon
league. That such eleventh-hour intimidation
has been absolutely ineffective is evidence of the
courage and independence of members of the
general assembly of Virginia, who refuse to be
bulldozed by such a childish device"
In the first place. the Dispatch is
either ignorant of what 1t speaks or wilfully
misrepresents the facts. because it is a we'll
known fact that petitions for various kinds of
legislation have been sent to the general as
as is the right OF the people. for years
and years. We are somewhat of the impression
that the Times-Dispatch probably had an eye
to its usual State fair number and thirty or
forty yards of liquor advertising. and wanted to
lay the foundation for a claim for a continuance
of the very valuable money patronage of the
drunkard-makers of the State. However. The
Richmond Virgtnian makes striking comment as
follows:
incidentally, 1t may be noted that when one
branch of the Virginia general assembly. by a
narrow majority. rejects the plea OF the Anti
Saloon league for reference of Statewide pro-
hibition to vote of the people. the general as
sembly demonstrates Its courage and independ-
ence. kilograms and letters direct from the
citizens OF Virginia are childish devices and at
tempts to bulldoze. The same general assembly
that is slavishly subservient to the plunderbund
and is the tool OF the oficehoiders when reject
ing a raw. unconsidered bill for the abolition
of fees, is an example of courage and indie
pendence when 1t rejects the measure of sub
mission to the people urged by the Anti-Saloon
league. Yet, Henry c.. Stuart, the uncontested
nominee of the Democratic party of the State.
has said directly and specifically. in response to
a question from this same Anti-Saloon league,
that II the general assembly sees fit to adopt the
submission measure, he will. as governor. ap-
prove 1t.
apparently, by its general Indictment of all
who oppose it's curious and devious conceptions
of craftsmanship, independence and honesty. the
Times-Dispatch is doing all 1t knows how to
drive the plunderbund, the ofnceholders, all
powerful according TO its estimate, the next
governor, the general assembly, the Antt-Sa-
loon league. and The Richmond Virginian into
the of the common calamity of re-
prehension and upbraiding from the Times
dispatch" -Virginia Issue,
