PARCEL POST TO Be TAXED
Hard Times Are Not Expected to At
feet the Business of the Postoffice in
Handling the Annual Supply of
Christmas Presents.

The local postofice is making prepa-
rations to handle even more Christmas
business through the agency Of the par
eel post than they did last year, and
they are already preparing instructions
to guide the patrons of the postoffice
in the use of the service. Signs have
been received from the department
headquarters at Washington giving
brief bits of advice for those who con-
template using the parcel post to send
Yuletide packages.
The local postofice officials are try
ing to educate the patrons of the Office
to send the packages early. Send
ing the gifts week or ten days In adj
vance of Christmas day will facilitate
the handling of the goods, and insure
the arrival of the package in time,
while, if it is sent a day or two before
Christmas, there is strong likelihood
that delivery viii not be made until
after Christmas, because of the crush
of business at that time.
The admonition. "Do Not Open

AIKEN PLANT DESTROYED.
Target Factory of Col. Aiken at Camp
Logan, Was Completely Destroyed.

The target factory of Col. R. H.
Aiken at Camp Logan just south of the
Wisconsin state line was completely
destroyed by fire this morning. The
fire was discovered in the plant just
after midnight and it spread with such
rapidity that it was impossible to save
any portion of the plant or the ma
chinery. The cause of the fire is I'M
known, but it is thought to have been
of an incendiary origin. For some
time the buildings in this neighborhood
have been destroyed by fire and the Of
fcials seem to be powerless to locate
the cause of these fires. The target
factory had been a successful venture
for Col. Aiken and he had a large in
vestment. It is said that the loss will
be close to $4,000, and it insured for
$4,000 Col. Aiken announced before
the fire had been extinguished that he
would rebuild the plant at once.

II it is thought necessary to estab-
lish "zone of quiet' around the
hospital by ordinance in Kenosha
the council may as well go a
step farther and establish these zones
around the school buildings. There is
not the slightest doubt that the work
of the hospital and the schools has
been hampered by the inconsiderate-
ness of people, drivers of automobiles
mostly, who have had occasion to use
the streets in the vicinity of the school
end hospital buildings. BY this it is
not meant that all drivers are careless.
but there is always a certain percent
age of every class that carry the idea
they are exempt from the unwritten
rules that ordinarily govern the actions
Cf the great majority. 1t is these peo-
pie that the proposed ordinance would
be designed to reach and if the council
is to take up the matter at ALL the law
should be made strong enough to be eff
fective.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1914.

The men and women who took part
in the distribution Of the Thanksgiving
baskets saw enough to convince them
that the reports Of conditions made by
the various charitable organizations
have not been exaggerated In the
slightest. They were surprised to find
how many people who in ordinary
times would never think of accepting
assistance are close to the line of act
ually suffering for the necessities OF
life. 1t is these self respecting, self
supporting people that everyone wants
to reach and help through their temp
orary troubles, but there is an uneasy
feeling among the people who handled
the Thanksgiving donations that some
of them may have been overlooked
and that they are suffering unneces-
sary privations and permitting their
families to suffer rather than apply for
assistance. There are no fears that
any of the regular dependents have
been overlooked. The reports show
that they have made their wants known
and have been looked after, but any
man with good record should remem-
Der that it is not the intention of the
well-to.do people Of the city to permit
any suffering From all indications
the worst of the business depression is
over and any man can accept little
assistance to keep his family from GO
ing hungry when the prospects are
frightening that he will soon have
employment and be in q position to re-
pay any help given. There has been a
decided change for the better in the
past few days with the big employers
of labor in the city. Some of them
are already putting on increased forces
and if the orders keep coming in as
rapidly as they have in the past few
days it will not be long before condi-
tons are back to normal again and the
factories running full time with their
regular forces. There is no denying
the fact that times have been hard in
mosha, but the local industries have
4 their full share of whatever orders
erc obtainable and conditions here
ItNc not been anywhere near as bad
they have been in other cities. Ger
ally also there has been no lack of
RI to help the unemployed through
l2 s. ack times.

KICK ON QUARANTINE
Farmers Protest Against
Kenosha County Being In
Guided in State Notice.
NO CASES AMONG LOCAL CATTLE

Kenosha county is to be quarantined
for the foot and mouth disease. This
has been agreed upon by federal and
state officials and acting in harmony
with the federal department. Governor
McGovern will be asked 80 issue a
proclamation lifting the quarantine
from all parts of Wisconsin with the
exception of two districts. These dis
tricts are in the southern part Of the
state. The first district will include
Kenosha, Racine, Rock, Walworth, Mil
waukee, Green, Waukesha and Jefferson
counties, and the second district is Lin
coin and Langlade counties. This
quarantine will be continued indefinite
" until the foot and mouth disease has
been entirely stamped out.
Kenosha county farmers are protest
ing against tho maintaining of the
quarantine in this county as they hold
that there is not case of the disease
in this county and that the quarantine
will be a real burden ON all cattle ship
pers in the county. The officials hold
that too many cattle have been exposed
in this county to make it possible to
withhold Kenosha county from the
quarantine district
Nearly all oe the Wisconsin cattle
ouarantined for the disease came from
the stock yards in Chicago and the
most of them are shipped through Ke-
nosha county The local officials are
still maintaining guarantees over sew
eral herds IN the county, but there has
been no case Of the disease developed.

having the parcel reach it's destina-
ton just in the nick of time.
The packages should be wrapped Sc
curely and addressed properly and
plainly. In packing the articles, care
should be taken to take all precautions
against any likelihood of breakage.
1t should then be wrapped in heavy
paper and tied securely with heavy
string The parcel must not be seal

The sender's name and address
should also appear on the package,
but in such position as not to be
confused with the other address.
Greetings, such as tMerry Christ

closed in the parcel.
Packages may be insured against
damage or loss at rate of five cents
on any article, the value of which does
not exceed $25 and 10 cents for any
article to the value Of $50. Tags for
such insurance are obtainable at the

fusion at the postoffce. Packages
may be insured, but they cannot be

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY
Let the Court Call Witnesses

The Chief Justice of the Vermont
supreme court makes the suggestion
that when expert testimony is wanted
in lawsuit the witness be called by
the court instead of being selected
the parties. The saving that this
would involve cannot be estimated, but
however great it might be it would
not exceed the benefit that would re-
suit. One nonpartisan expert would
take the place of from to IL partisan.
and juries would be saved the confu-
sion which is bound to beset them
when men of equal training and ex
perience solemnly swear to opposite
things. The state bar associations
certainly ought to favor Judge Powers
suggestion. and medical men who
cherish the standing of their profes.
sion should join with the lawyers in
securing it's adoption. = Brattleboro

For Primary.
The convention has always been a
tool easily handled by a clever boss.
By trading off minor places and by
sharp practices the boss has brought
the convention into diSrepute as an
instrument fitted to express the peo-
pies will. Even when honestly and
fairly conducted, convention gives
an undue advantage to aggressive,
INSCRIPTIONS men, which they would
not have in a direct primary.
Direct primaries are based upon
the assumption that the rank and file
of the voters are honest and intelli-
gent and that they should each and
all be allowed to express their views
on all candidates. at their usual vot-
ing place instead of delegating that
duty to a few delegates who, away
from home and under pressure, may
be led into mistakes, or worse.
1t is a matter of common knowl-
edge that only small per cent of
the voters participate in the caucus
but there is large vote at the prim-
aries because the voters know that
their vote amounts to something
therefore they come out to the prim-
airy. By bringing all the candidates.
before the voters at one time, state,
congressional and county, the inter-
est and vote will be larger and more
representative than by handling them
in sections as at present.
In this nation and in this state,
the will of the people is and should
be the supreme law; and that that
will may be made effective you need
public officers who owe their nom
lnatiOn as we'll as their election
directly to the vote of the people,
We are using 10Th century machin-
cry to nominate officers under goth
century conditions. The methods of
politics no less than those of bust
ness must be in accord with the
spirit of the times. Anything which
will tend to increase interest in pub
lie officials and public affairs as
does the direct primary is of inestim-
able benefit.
The direct primary movement is
one that is sweeping the country.
Vermont is out of step with the
march of progress and it is high
time she got in line.
