took action to open up new fields for operation,
the management of the United States Company
refused to make any such progressive develop
ments Rather than meet the stress of COMPETE
ton, they stepped out of the game altogether.
This failure is striking object lesson of the
wastefulness and inefficiency of monopoly. So
long as the company belonged to the ring which
controlled eighty per cent of the business
and had it's own share of the field allotted to it,
it had nothing to fear and was easily able to pass
on the costs of its extravagant wastefulness to
it's patrons.
So inefficient was it's management that
President Roberts, not long in office, found it
possible to cut down running expenses $4,000
in the first six months. Feeling secure behind
the supposedly solid walls of monopoly, service
was permitted to deteriorate and not much effort
was made to keep up with the development of
business. Like all protected plants, it was weak
ened by the very immunity which it enjoyed.
And now since that old friendly wall of mo-
nopoly has been shattered by the parcel post bat
tering ram, this sickly organism has persisted
forever.
That it's failure is primarily due to poor man.
agement is also shown by the reports Of the In
terstate Commerce Commission. The investiga-
lions carried by that body showed that even
with the competition of the parcel post and a
sixteen or seventeen per cent reduction in rates,
company should still continue to do business
and pay fair dividends. The very fact that the
United States company has been unable to do this
shows that it a very weak business institu-
ton.
Under these circumstances, the fairest thing
to do was to liquidate. To hang on to a losing
game and stay in the field with blind stubborn
ness would merely have distributed the past
earnings of the corporation to no avail. BY dis
solving before the losses had piled up, stockhold-
ers can keep what they have already earned and
still have almost their entire original investment

Gone to the Wall

The promoters of the parcel post found five
big obstacles in their way: the Adams, Ameri-
can, United States, Wells-Fargo and Pacific ex-
press companies. One of these obstacles is now
no more The United States Express company
has gone to the wall. AS was formally announced
Friday, it's equipment will be disposed of soon
as possible and the money capital will be reds-
tributed among the stockholders.
The immediate cause of this dissolution was
competition of the parcel post system and the re-
cent reduction in rates which went into effect
February LIST on order of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. But inasmuch as the other
companies have already undertaken such new
developments in their business fields as will ena-
BILE them to weather this crisis, it is perfectly
obvious that the failure of the United States Elk
press Company lies deeper than this.
Leaders in the corporation itself have not
hesitated to attribute many of their financial
difficulties to the bossism of little clique with

Can Stop Blind Tigers.
II don't know your prosecuting At
torney here, but l will tell you you
can get the blind tiger here. I'll go
the limit and say you can't get a jury
to convict a blind tiger, because every
jury will disagree.
But you can organize a vigilance COM
mittee and arrest those fellows time
after time. Make them get a lawyer
every time. The legal fraternity will
help to break them up. If you keep
that up, you can break the blind tiger,
and if a man goes broke he won't stay
in business.

John Barleycorn's clearing house-the

ing the last six months of county op-
ton in Indiana, ninety-two men were

ties, and only six were from the sew

Question Of Civilization.
mo one has the right to bring little
children into the world without their
consent and then make them wish
they were dead. The distillers take
everything you have and give moth
ing. How many of them came over
on the Mayfower and helped make
, this country? How many brewers
, stood there on Plymouth rock? Have
you ever heard of ginmakers in the
battle of Concord and Lexington? How
many champagne makers were there
in Valley Forge? Look over the Dec
laration of Independence; can you find
any Of the ancestors of Anheuser and
Busch.

dry, but Of being civilized. You are

boys and to the prostitution OF your

Wet and Dry Communications

that it is neither desirable nor neces-
sary to have either Of them.
81 In 1909 there was nothing to
prevent the shipment of liquor from
one state to another and it's sale in the
original package. Richmond is stu
ated near the state line, and with Ohio
largely wet" as it was in 1909, the
inability to prevent the sale Of inter
state original packages of liquor made
law enforcement especially difficult
Since 1909 the laws have been chang
ed. The Webb bill, passed by congress,
makes interstate shipments subject to
state laws. In the meantime the par
eel post regulations prohibits the use
of the mail service for the tranSpOrta-
ton of liquor, and many express COM
panies have refused to handle con-
signments of liquor for dry territory.
If the whisky, which, Mr.. Gordon as
serts. passes through Richmond three
nights a week is really consigned to
, dry" cities, it's sale there can be pre-
vented just as the sale of any other
liquor. That condition did not exist
five years ago.
a. Not only was there no protec-
! ton from the interstate traffic in 1909.
but there was then no likelihood of
protection from the Indiana breweries
and distilleries. Since then the coun-
ties voting under the county option
law gave majorities aggregating 10O.-
600 for the whole state. There are
today, under the Proctor law. thirty
two counties, thirty-three cities, 273
towns and S25 townships in Indiana
dry This makes by far the greater
part of the territory of the state These
facts make it morally certain that
within couple of years the new con-
stitution of Indiana will give US state
wide prohibition. This dry senti-
ment, based on five years experience
without saloons, the prospects of a
new constitution, and the Webb bill
! are all new factors in the situation.
After a few years, when the old
topers have moved away or sobered
up, or died off, when the liquor dealers
get into another business, and when
the breweries and distilleries are put
out of business in the entire state,
it will be easier to enforce the law
against the sale of liquor than the laws
against gambling, lust of theft. Mean
| time, Mr. Gordon has yet to show by
statistics or any general and reliable
testimony that blind tigers at their
worse have anywhere produced more
| public intOXicatiOn, or assault and bat
terry cases. and other crime, than did
! the licensed saloons in the same city.
Nor can he convince any one about
Richmond, who knows what has been
! going on here for five years, than any
blind tigers the present city govern
men and citizens are likely to tolerate
! Or find it impossible to close up, will
do fraction Of the harm the present
saloons do. EBERT RUSSELL.

don't have to bother, because he's al

and saved up a little money. BY the
time the old mans club activities had
increased SO that he decided that the
boy did not have any business with
ambitions like that He took all that
nonsense out of Johns head and in
cidentally gave all Of Johns money to
the club.
And what a great thing the club is
for the daughter, Mary! She, too, is
ambitions and wants an education. But
it's not long before the old boy takes
that nonsense out Of her head. Soon
she follows the daughters of the old
mans club fellows. She falls by the
wayside. But the club is fine for the
mother. She gets down on her knees
