Let the Parcel Post Alone

BY close shave the United States
has defeated an effort To hamper par
eel post development. An amendment
limiting the weight Of packages on
star routes to fifty pounds was lost by
a decisive vote.
The adoption of either Of these
amendments would have taken away
the power OF the postmaster general
and the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to fix rates. This the real friends
OF the parcel post regard as an un-
wise proposition. 1t also is unneces-
sary and could only result in compli
cations. The postmaster general is
the best Judge of what ought to be
done in the adjustment of weights and
limits If this authority is taken
away from him and lodged in Congress
the parcel post is likely Ia feel the in
fluence of the same sort of smooth
politics which prevented its establish
ment during "a period of twenty years
or more i'm which the people were
petitioning vainly for it. Now that
the system has been started, about
the best thing that Congress can do is
to keep hands off and allow the post
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
to work out the problem. He is bet
ter fitted To look after the details OF
the service than anybody else. He
also is better prepared To suggest what
is needed in the way of additional
legislation. There is no good reason
why Congress should go into the bust
ness of limiting weights or zones or
of debating the details OF the parcel
post service. Anything of the Kind
that is undertaken will he OF doubtful
benefit.
The masses of the people are just be-

In Russia it-is called Siberian fever,
and in Siberia Chinese fever. In
France it has been called Spanish
catarrh, and Spain throws it back as
Russian fever.
The term influenza came To be
largely applied in England to the dis

as the new acquaintance, the

The same term is also used in Ger

The Spanish name, "trancaZo," is
curious. and occurs also i'm France

SPRING Is COMING

When country roads begin to thaw
In notified spots of damp and dust,
And fences by the margin draw
Along the frosty crust
There graphic silhouettes. say,
The Spring is coming round this
way.
When morning time is bright with
sun
And keen with wind, and both con-
fuse
The dancing. glancing eyes Of one
with tears that ooZe and ooze--
And nose-tips weep as well as they,
way.
The Spring is coming round this
When suddenly some shadow bird
Goes wavering beneath the gaze,
And through the hedge the moan is
heard
or kline that fain would Craze
In grasses new, l smile and say,
The Spring is coming round this
way.
When knotted horse-tails are united,
And teamsters whistle here and
there
And clumsy mitts are laid aside
And choppers hands are bare,
And chips are thick where children
play
The Spring is coming round this
way.
When through the twigs the farmer
tramps,
And troughs are chucked beneath
the trees
And fragrant whiffs of sugar-camps
Astray i'm every breeze
When early April seems like May,
The Spring is coming round this
way.
When coughs are changed to laughs,
and when
our frowns melt into smiles of glee.
And all our blood thaws out again
In sterams OF ecstacy,
And poets wreak their roundelay,
The Spring is coming round this
way.--James Whitcomb Riley.
