VIA THE PARCELS POST.

Why not use the parcels post to break
the back of the high price list of foods
Here is. potentially, the most formid-
able foe OF the middleman and price
booster. The officials of the depa rtment
of agriculture have been testing out the
system just to see what practical re-
suits are obtainable in the shipment OF
eggs Out of 466 lots. consisting of o.
131 eggs, which the department shipped
to various parts of the United States
some Of them great distance-only
31z per cent were broken. Ten dozen
were shipped $50 miles at cost of AZ
cents per dozen. Considering that in
some places the customer was paying
so to SIS cents dozen for eggs last
winter and farmers were receiving only
20 to 25 cents for them. such a postage
charge becomes negligible.
Simply by cooperation both the
farmer and the consumer could get a
large slice OF this middleman's profit.
II the farmers would cultivate regular
town customers and II housewives, on
the other hand, would cherish their OPP
portunities to purchase direct from the
producers, price conspiracies would not
thrive. It is not yet thoroughly estab-
lished that the average of city buyers
do not prefer the high cost Of living to
the small bother of old-fashioned
trade.
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1914-08-29

ordered that no liquor should be used
enroute to camp. General Allen fol-
lowed this with a sweeping camp order
that prohibited the bringing OF liquor
into camp and he detailed the writer
as provost marshal to enforce the
order. This did not prove to be a~diffi
cult duty, The reginental commanders
all heartily co-operated In enforcing
the order and Colonel Howell OF the
54th regiment took especial care to pre-
vent the members OF his command
from bringing liquor into camp from
Des Moines. The police promised to arr
rest every drunken soldier and turn
him over to the provost guard and we
believe they did their duty. Only two
such arrests were made and but one
of those was a national guardsman.
But few other arrests were necessary.
The number of men who went into the
city OF evenings was very small and
the saloons were open less than an hour
after their arrival This reduced the
opportunity for drunkenness and the
number of arrests accordingly. If the
Des Moines saloons had been closed
there would not have been a single
case of drunkenness, This is little
job Des Moines should attend to at
once. but II she does not the good
people OF the s.ate will attend to 1t IN
the very near future.

PARCEL POST IN IOWA.
Huntington Hawkeye.J

+
1t is said by Iowa postal authorities
that the farmers and their wives In
this state are utilizing the parcel post
extensively in selling farm products
directly to the consumer and that ex-
cellent results have been obtained
Ten dozen eggs can be shipped in one
container anywhere within zone OF
$50 miles, at q cost OF Al cents per
dozen. This includes the cost Of trans
portation and the container. 1t Is
further said that last winter when eggs
were being sold by retailers at from
so cents to IS cents TO the consumer
the farmers were only receiving 20 and
25 cents per dozen, giving the middle
man from 80 cents to 40 cents on each
dozen eggs handled. 1t is further
claimed that the parcel post system OF
marketing entirely eliminates the
middlemanis profit and divides 1t with
the producer and consumer.
The Hawkeye hopes it will be par
doned If it il trife skeptical regard
ing the statement and it's statistics. 1t
doubts if very many families in Bur-
lington, for instance, are receiving
much of their eggs and other farm
products thru the parcel pest. The
great majority is still buying from the
dealers. It is not impossible, nor I'm I
probable that the country trade thru
the parcel post will increase somewhat
but this paper does not believe that
the parcel post will take the place OF
the n1iddlemen. in such farm products
as can be mailed. Nor has IT. evidence
that the figures named represent the
average transactions in eggs in Iowa
Rarely does the middieman have so
large a margin Of profit. This IL not
said in defense Of the middleman, but
out OF regard for the facts. Apparently
some exaggeration has crept into the
exhibit OF the parcel post In Iowa.

INDEFINITE MR.. HAMILTON.

The democratic candidate for gov
ernor of Iowa is making his campaign
upon the issue of high taxes. Thus
far he has been making only the most
vague and indefinite statements.

everyone opposes exorbitant taxation,
and everyone favors an honest and eco

has gone by, Mr.. Hamilton, when the
voters of Iowa can be gulled into vot-
ing for or against candidate by the
dissemination of such "old stun.
What the Iowa voter demands Is
specific statements of fact and pur-
pose. For instance, If Mr.. Hamilton
should be elected governor OF Iowa,
would he recommend the return to the
former valuations Of real estate
Would he recommend the resale OF the
land bought for capitol extension?
Would he demand the repeal OF the

RELIGIOUS FAITH AND polnrs.

The attempt to drag creed and de-
nominational p-ejudices into the cam
paign between Cummins and Connolls
is very much to be deprecated and
frowned upon. That an anti Catholic
candidate should make that sort of po-
litical capital is, however, to be ex-
pected. 1t is the platform of his can
didacy- But that this prejudice should
declaration of all candidates in behalf
of religion as an element of citizenship
is even lower grade OF political ac-
tivity.
The church affiliations of candidates
are scarcely broad enough ground for
either candidates or opposition to can
didates to stand upon. Unwillingness
to grant the sincerity of another mans
faith is TO express doubt of our own.
1t is to be assumed that the religious
connections of men are based on con-
viction and belief.
Mr.. Connolly is Catholic. 1t is his
right No doubt it is his sincere belief
and faith. He will get the votes of
his church people practically to a
man. He has the same right to them as
those voters have TO give them. No
doubt those voters who are strong in
opposition TO that church will vote as
they choose That is also a right of a
free franchise. These are conditions.
not issues. They belong 10 individuals
not to parties or political movements.
To make the candidates church mem
bership an issue in a campaign is a
different thing.
The Catholics will vote for Connolly.
Why not? The fraternity of church fell
lowship is a strong tie as the fraternity
of other organizations attracts men to-
ward one another in affinity of belief
and purpose. All else being equal the
tendency of the voter would naturally
draw him toward those nearest him
and the question Of equality is an in
dividual one. There is TO doubt that
Connolly Will get the solid vote of his
church. II is coming 10 him.
But whether men vote for Connolly
because he is a Catholic or against him
for the same reason Connolly's relig-
ious faith or that of any other man is
not proper issue in a political cam
paign. II is by way of being old fash

the extenuating circumstance that the
daughter in-law had provoked him by
her language to the elder Mrs. Brown
were all given very prominent consider
alton in his trial and no doubt anected
the verdict which was for man
slaughter. The fact remained, however
that the Brown murder was of such a
character that it shocked the entire
state
Comparison forces itself between the
case of Brown. whose parole comes SIX
years after the commission of bloody
murder which he did not attempt TO
deny and the extreme opposition offered
every suggestion .as to parole Tor the
Rainsbargers. There is very well de-
fined belief in the section where the
Rainsbargers operated and where the
crime Of which they were convicted
was committed that the brothers are
innocent of the particular murder of
which they We're accused. 1t is by way
of being a reasonable doubt in Hardin
county in favor Of the Rainsbargers.
Many sincere and capable men after
investigation of the situation as we'll as
may be done after the lapse of so many
years, express belief that wrong has
been done the Rainsbargers. But no.
where has any doubt arisen of the guilt
of Brown. He killed woman with a
club. After six years of incarceration
he has his parole. After twenty-six
years spent in prison making record
as model prisoners the Rainsbargers
are denied.
Brown is an old man. Perhaps he has
suffered sufficiently to be permitted to
die in the open. The Rainsbargers are
old men, gray and bent with years and
toll and the silences and solitudes of i'm
prisonment. There is doubt, seeming
ly very reasonable doubt of their
guilt. There is none of Browns.
That Brown was convicted of man
slaughter and the Rainsbargers of first
degree murder is scarcely to be argued
on the question of comparative desert
Whatever Brown was convicted of his
crime was as brutal and terrible as the
murder of Johnson. 1t is hardly to be
that Brown should be
paroled while the Rainsbargers are left
to die in prison.
