Postmaster General Burleson and
the Parcel Post Service.

As reported from Washington
concerted opposition has arisen il
Congress to Postmaster Genera
Blrleson's order in reducing th,
parcel post rates and increasing tht
Size Of the parcels to be handled il
the service.
This opposition is not surprising
and is suggested seemingly through
the same sall-poWerful influence
which fortunately failed in their III
tent TO defeat the parcel post SER
vice system which is being enjoyed
by all classes Of the people.
So great satisfactory has been
the success Of the parcel post ser
vice, beyond the most sanguine OF
antlclpa patlons, that Postmaster Gen
erM Bufleson is encouraged in in
5ereasIng the parcel post facilities in
which would be embraced larger
]! size packages than are now carried
f1y post, Of which the express COM
panies have a monopoly.
Postmaster General Burleson
can increase the parcel post service
facilities, as programmed by him,
silesWill confer service Oh The peo-
PIE Of inestinable value, and there
lore lt becomes the duty of every
citizen to advise their representa-
lives IN Congress to not thWart but
stand unflinehingly in their ap-.
proval of the betterment Of the
parcel post service, which is being
=fully appreciated throughout the
United States.

Our new minister to Cuba, William
Elliott Gonzales, is not stranger tt
that country, and when he assumes
the position to which he has been ap
pointed by President Wilson he vii
be returning to the land of his ances
tors. Born in the United States, he is
intensely American in his point OF
view, but this has not prevented him
from taking a deep interest in the de
velopment of Cuba.
His name Is a link between the two
countries. His father, General Am
brosio Jose Gonzales, a native of Ma.
tanzas, Cuba, married into the old El.
lott family Of South Carolina, and the
new minister to Cuba was named for
his. uncle, William Elliott, one time
representative in congress.
After the death Of his brother, Norris
co, Mr.. Gonzales became editor Of the
Columbia State. Like his brother, he
had been soldier in the war with
Spain, having served as captain in the
Second South Carolina regiment and
having gone to Cuba with the army OF
pacifcation.

And sIn the Land of the Free and
the Brave

There has been announced from
Canyon City, Texas, the arrest OF
Mrs v. Edna Henson, Christian
Science reader, who is charged with
practicing medicine without q
license.
The charge is remarkable and eX-
traordinary III that Mrs. Henson ad-
ministers no medicine, but heI
treatment is effected through
prayer.
The principal witness for the
!. prosecution, w. II. Lehman, has ad-
mitted that his brother has been
cured Of paralysis by Mrs. Henson
without the use Of drugs Or any
physical treatment, but her offend
ing is that she has accepted five dol
i lars per week which he offered her.
From this statement the logical
conclusion is that she is amenable
to law because she did not decline
s the money rendered her. Could any
proposition be more ridiculous?
This prosecution smacks Of the
pnritanical period when man dare
not kiss his wife or court his sweet
d lteartson Sunday, and when women
We're burned at the stake or ducked
in pond or river, for no other rea-
son than that they failed to sub
scribe strictly to the sternest edicts
Of their times.
tt is not the purpose Of the Cau-
6asian to discuss Christian Science,
but If cures are possible through
y this medius Of prayer, instead of
blue mass and castor oil, or sugar
pills, or plain water, or massage or
any mode Of treatment, the practi-
cal sensible man should certainly
not object to prayer which is the
great source of comfort and hope to5
mortals in tribulation.
70 say the least, this prosecution
e OF Mrs. Henson, d woman of culture
and refinement, for no other reason
that that she is a Christian Scientist
and effects cures through prayers,
Us not only a reflection Of discredit
on The State of Texas, but is no less
q barbarism because it is sanctioned
under the glllse Of law.

erwise, most other States showed a frac-
tional decline, except Oklahoma, which
lost points Since the average date OF
these reports rainfall has relieved nearly
all districts needing moisture, causing
general improvement
The season is generally two weeks
late, owing largely to a cold snap in
the early part of June For the same
reason the plant is small. though strong
and healthy. Fields are free from grass
md well cultivated.
Up to around the third week of the
month the need of rain was becoming
urgent but since then showers have
been very general and most sections
have had the needed relief. Stands as
a rule are poor, being very irregular
owing to replanting and cool weather
and the crop is remarkably free from
insects, except in Mississippi and Louisi-
ana where boil weevil Is in such large
numbers as to be a serious menace to
the crop.
Up to the date of these mail reports,
however, damage was not serious.
