Defends Parcel Post

Washington, May 6.-Postmaster
General Burleson defended the parcel
post system today in an open letter
characterizing it as an ac%celeratOr of
trade between cities and farms and
declaring it's rates were based on Op-
Grating costs in both the profitable
territory, which is defined by the ex-
tent of the systems of private ex-
press companies, and the unprofita-
BILE territory, into which the private
express companies never 60"
Mr.. Burleson was replying to the
Buffalo Chamber of Commerce, which
recently adopted resolutions opposing
increase in the parcel post weight
limit on the ground that it would drive
express companies out of business. He
asserted the companies would not be
driven out Of profitable territory
until they were relatively inefficient

EXPLAINS Baltimore Platform

Washington. May 5.-With the ex-
PLANTATION that the Baltimore platform
merely approved congressional action
in asserting the right of the United
States to exempt from tolls Ameri-
can vessels passing through the Pana-
ma canal did not sanction the grant
ing of subsidies to American coast
wise vessels, Senator Stone of Mis-
souri, told the senate today he would
vote for tolls exemption repeal after
voting for the exemption in 1912.
In support of his Interpretation OF
the platform, Senator Stone read the
plank against all subsidies and an
other plank which approved the ex
! emption of coastwise vessels. He SAID
that the platform writer's must have
had in mind the subsidy plank wher
they wrote the tolls plank and did no
mean to write a contradictory plat
form.

Millionaire Murdered Rv Son

New York, May 5.-Chester Bernell
Duryea, who murdered his aged father
Gen. Hiram Duryea, a millionaire
starch manufacturer. in their home in
Brooklyn early today, was removed
from jail in a straightjacket to a hos
pital tonight, after he had shown signs
of insanity.
The murder occurred in the porch
at the rear of the Duryea home where
both both father and son were in the
habit of sleeping. Chester, who is 43
years old, slipped from his cot into the
house, where he kept several rifles, re-
volvers and s~hotguns for hunting pur-
poses. He selected an automatic pis-
toll and a magazine rifle. Seven shots
were fired by the son into his fathers
body, causing instant death.

Government Can Take Land

Butte, April 30.-Judge George M.
B%ourquin has rendered a decision in
the action brought by the United
States against NJ. A. Hardy, a con-
demnation suit for a right of way for
the canal on the lower Yellowstone
project, ruling in favor of the govern
ment.
The court holds that the United
States can take possession of the
land needed without prepayment OF
compensation and damages before the
final termination of the action. The
decision is of great Importance as il
permits those in charge of the irri
cation project to go ahead unhind
cred and save the time necessary tt
get the money from Washington tt
pay for the land needed.
I In his opinion, Judge Bourquin said;
although the state statute prescrib
es payment of damages into court be
fore the court can award possession
to the condemnation, it is usually helt
that like statutes have no application
to the state, if it has provided ;
method by which compensation il

Cannot Change Bank Districts

Washington, May 5. Senators
Hitchcock and Norris of Nebraska,
Warren of Wyoming, and members of
the house delegation from these
states conferred today with Secretary
McAdoo of the treasury concerning
the transfer of the regional bank
business of those two states from
Kansas City to Chicago. 1t was rep
resented to Mr.. McAdoo that a Chica'
go connection with those states would
be much more convenient both to the
bankers and to the house than the
Kansas City connection. Mr.. McAdoo
explained it would be impossible fol-
the eserv organization committee
to make any change either in the 10
cation OF eserve banks or in the geo
graphical districts.

Would Send Roosevelt to America

Washington, May 4.-There have
been some amusing features to en-
tighten the serious aspects of the med
iation proceedings. The mediators
have been receiving letters approving
their course and offering advice. One
letter urged that Theodore Roosevelt
was the man to set up a provisional
government in Mexico, headed by
North, South and Central America.
and that the Spanish republics should
induce him to undertake the prOvi-
sional direction of affairs at Mexico
City.
Another contribution has been in
the form of Mexican sombreros Of

The donor attached a card stating that
the sombreros were for the "illustri.

CHARGES CONSPIRACY
Railroad Interests Seeking To lnfIu.
ence Interstate Commission

Washington, May 5.-Senator La
Toilette laid before the senate today
what he said was evidence of a wide
spread conspiracy to i%ntimidate, CO.
cree and control the interstate COM
MERGE commission to grant eastern
railroads the 5 per cent increase in
freight rates for which application is
pending.
The senator spoke on his bill to
make it a criminal Offense to seek to
influence decisions of the commission.
He produced a mass of newspaper
clippings, copies of letters, and tele-
grams which found their way to the
commission, in which the authors
urged favorable action on the railroad
plea. He asserted "the conspiracy"
had been in the use of newspaper ar
ticles, editorials and advertising; that
manufacturers and bankers had assail-
ed the commission with communica-
lions favoring an increase, and that
the propaganda had been in evidence
for months before the railroads made
their application.

evidence and testimony taken by it.
and not on the arguments advanced
through such a campaign.
In the course of his speech, the sen.
ator declared that In Washington
newspapers President Wilson had
frequently been to appear in favor of
the rate increase. He said he could
not believe that the president sought
to influence the commission, but ex-
pressed surprise that these published
reports of his attitude had never been
, denied.
When Senator Stone pointed out
! later that there had been denials
, from the president, Senator LaFol.
! lette said he was glad to hear this
statement, and hoped that the denia,
would appear in the Congressional
Record. The senator warned his col.
leagues that there is a growing sus-
licion in the minds of the people that
! the courts are more inclined to look
kindly on property interests than up
, on the right of the individual.

Clock Made Of Glass

A clock constructed throughout of
glass is the result of six years work
on the part of a Barvarian glass pol
Usher. The plates and pillars which
form the frame work are of glass and
are bolted together with glass screws.
The dial plate, hands, shafts, and
cogwheels are of glass and glass
wedges and pins are used for fasten-
ing the various parts of the running
gear together. Like the clock itself,
the key by which it is wound is of
glass. The construction of the re.
markable timepiece was a matter of
infinite pains. Some of the parts had
to be made as many as forty times be-
fore a clock that would go could be

POLITICS AND BUSINESS

Eastern people who ONE west in
variably convey the information that
times are not as good as they would
the country. If these persons happen
to be politically opposed to President
Wilson, they will add to their first
statement that the present admins
tration is responsible for sick bust
ness, says the Butte Miner.
In spite of the fact that new leg
islation, no matter how needed it may
be, is bound to necessitate some re-
adjustment, the Miner doubts very
much, indeed, If the slight depression
of conditions in the east can be cor
rectly charged up to President Wilson.
With all the grumbling some of our
eastern citizens are doing, this news
paper would like someone to show it
u more prosperous country than the
United States is today.
Canada, which it was claimed would
greatly benefit by the opening of our
markets to many of its products, is
going through a most serious era of
financial depression, and within the
last lew days it has been stated in the
press dispatches from up there that
the present ministry is confronted
with the question of whether to let
n of it's transcontinental railroads,
now III course of construction, go into
bankruptcy and through the process
C reorganization, or whether the gov
eminent shall assume additional fl
nancal responsibility and come to its
rescue.
Other reports indicate that there
are far more men out of work across
the line in proportion to population

that conditions r. SO bad in Canada
that they may result in forcing the
present ministry from power.
The countries in Europe do not APP.

Making Hay BY Steam

Each year finds the farmer more of
a mechanic, as machine after machine
appears to take the place of the de.
creasing supply of manual labor. The
up-to.date farm now has it's machine
shop and farmer machinist. The
farmer complains that for five years
past he has been obliged constantly
to purchase new labor-saving ma
chinery. On the other hand, had it
not been for these new inventions,
many would have been obliged to go
out OF business.
According to a writer in Popular
Mechanics, the latest thing is steam
cured hay, which makes the farmer
independent of cloudy or rainy wealth

FIGHTING HOG CHOLERA

Large as was the task OF the de
partment of agriculture a few years
ago to eradicate the cattle tick in the
south. it is not to be compared with
the work which will be entailed III
the effort of the same department to
eradicate hog cholera. Congress has
llade LIBERAL appropriations for the
worl, aud the campaign against hog
cholera to be carried on this spring
in the middle west and south will lie
on q more extensive scale than was
ever before attempted.
Aitel more than a decade of pains
taking research, the department OF az
riculture developed an effective hog
cnGlera serum. This was a serum
that could be injected into a healthy
hog 20 protect the animal against con-
tracing hog cholera, even when ex-
posed to the contagion. 1t was found
after extensive use that the serum
was not only a preventative, but when
taken in early enough stages of the
disease was a curative as we'll.
Use was made of the serum by var
ious states for several seasons after 1t
was developed. In 1913 the depart.
ment of agriculture started an anti
cholera campaign, including the states
of Indiana, Missouri, Iowa and Kan
sas. One county was selected in each
state and the quarantine regulations
we're strictly enforced by the states
agricultural commission. 1t was not
until August /. 1913, that it vas pos
sible to give the work a satisfactory
start, but taken even this late the re
suits were considered remarkable.
The loss from hog cholera from the
states mentioned two years prior tt
the experiment, had been almost l:
per cent. The losses the previOu:
year had amounted to over 25 pei
cent. Started out late as the anti
cholera campaign was, the total los:
last year was reduced to IA per cent
OF the hogs i~noculated very few were
lost at all, and in the cases where the!
did die there vas some particular
cause for the deaths, such as havin,

had gained too much of a start.

THEY DISLIKE AMERICANS

Americans should not forget, in
considering the present unhappy com
plications in Mexico, that throughout
all the Latin republics south of the
Rio Grande there is an abiding hatred
OF them. This animosity is not al.
ways openly expressed, especially
when Americans possess visible
means of resentment. But it always
exists. The character of the Mexican
is complex and strange. He is an ad.
mixture of odd races and he is influ.
enced by many atavic characteristics,
But there is one unchanging and uni.
form quality common to all and that
is distrust, fear and dislike of Amer.
leans.
1nsurrection is a chronic condition
among Mexicans. That is their some
what strenuous method of playing
politics." They do not take their in
transitional differences nearly as SER
iously as we suppose. Their political
battles are fought with rifles, it is
true, but their sentiments are highly
volatile and are subject to quick
change. If, therefore, we in America
witness the somewhat pleasing spec
tacle of our W people laying aside
at a moments notice their political
differences and all getting behind our
president in a common cause, we
must consider that to a very great ex-
tent the Mexicans will take the same
kind of action.
Already reports come from various
points in rebel territory that the Mex
leans are ready to stop fighting
among themselves and welcome an
"gringoes." This is natural and log.
ical. Their disposition to fight must
have some outlet. Under ordinary
circumstances they are content to
fight each other, but they would throw
themselves into conflict with a ma
tional enemy with surprising zest.
They are intensely patriotic-or think
ances against each other. They fight
among themselves for power. for mon
ey, for spells and for the pure enjoy
ment of the spectacular battle Incl
dent. Turn this disposition against a
foreign foe hated for generations, and
the Mexican people will be a serious
antagonist to cope with.
And finally, it should be kept in
mind that the dense ignorance of the
Mexican masses has distorted their
ideas of geography and history. Prob
ably not one in a hundred of them be
lieves that the United States coulG
whip Mexico. They are common
braggarts. They have no conception
OF this %country's vast resources. it
amazing development and its militar
and naval power. Their fear of II
is not based so much on our militar
prowess as upon that mysterious re
spect which the ignorant mind ha
for commercial and industrial ST
premacy. All over Mexico American
have been pushing into mountain fas'
nesses, opening gigantic mines, col
structing great warehouses and co
Quoting marvellous business enterpri:
es. These things constitute a perm;
nent affront to Mexican pride. So IL
