Politics are taking on an interesting look from

people were saying that the Republican party was
dead Nobody says it is dead today! If the party
holds true to its colOrs; if it leaves Roosevelt and
his little group of ambitious subleaders to lay in

very good chance that there will be Republican

PARCEL POST DEMONSTRATION.

A number OF postmasters throughout
the country having asked the permission
Of Postmaster General Burleson 10 install
parcel post exhibits at county fairs. that
official has been favorably Impressed
with the idea
The Postmaster General not only has
granted permission TO all such applicants
but he has sent a circular letter 20 post
masters at all county seats. He suggests
the propriety Of such exhibits as a means
OF bringing parcel post facilities 20 the
attention Of postoffice patrons who may
attend the fairs. By exercising care and
ingenuity, he says, the exhibits may be
made both attractive and Instructive.
The PostOffice Department has spared
no efforts to make the public familiar
with the benefits OF the parcel post The
newspapers have ben generous in boost
ing the new facility. Rural residents
have been urged to use the parcel post
Tor the marketing Of produce. Some Of
them have followed the advice. while
many have not. Probably many Of these
latter have never taken the trouble to
look into the merits Of the system Dem
onstrations at county fairs should be %
some benefit in teaching the masses the
varied uses OF the parcel post
The whole country has much to learn
about the parcel cost. Country people
especially need to know more of il and
to make greater use Of II. and as cOun-
try people visit county fairs in large
numbers the postmasters have An oppor-
tunity to diffuse information in a pTac-
teal and impressive manner.

What About the Plaza Awards?

The Washington Herald this morning ventures
to address respectful inquiry to the Hon. Ben
johnson, of Kentucky, chairman of the House Com
mittee on the District of Columbia, on subject
which has frequently urged upon his attention dur
ing the past year more. The Herald would like
to inquire, Mr.. Chairman, when you intend to permit
the government to discharge its just debts to
of residents of Washington whose property it took
possession of nearly two years ago by condemnation
proceedings, who have been deprived of any use or
benefit of such property and who have appealed even
to the President of the United States that payment
of the sums agreed upon by the jury of eondemna-
ton and affirmed by the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia be made to them, to relieve their
distress
You are fully aware, Mr.. Chairman, of the priva-
tons which many persons are suffering as result
of the unwarranted delay in the payment of the
Plaza awards Persons to whom this great govern
ment is justly indebted by its own voluntary action
are actually suffering want because you have pre-
vented the government from discharging its debts
Is it excusable, is it fair, is it humane? Would not
your own protests be first and loudest should such
treatment be accorded your Kentucky constituents.
1t is well known that it is your contention that
the awards made to railroad company were ex-
ceSsive, though a great many fair-minded people
differ with you in that respect. But it is also we'll
known that way has been found to pay the smaller
creditors of the government, while deferring the
payment to the railway company until it shall be
readusted if that is deemed necessary by Congress
On last District day in the Hohse by previous
arrangement of your own, Mr.. Chairman, the plaza
awards were to have been disposed of after de-
bate limited to forty minutes and yet when the time
came you alone prevented action upon them. For
eighteen months you have obstructed the payment of
these just claims to helpless and defencsless people
whose property has been taken from them and who
long ago adopted the one course open to them and
appealed in person to the President of the United
States, who assured them of his sympathy and de-
sire for early adjustment and payment These
people are asking of you no charity, no favors no
discrimination only that which is theirs by law and
which you Withholding from them
There is talk now of an early adjournment of
Congress. In the interest of those who suffering
as result of your actions, Mr.. Chairman, The
Herald ventures to inquire whether you will permit
the close of the present session to come without pro-
vision being made for the payment of these claims,
or whether you will be fair enough to see that the
necessary resolution is passed; or stand aside and
present no obstacles while others do the work:

Useful Work of Tariff League.

The American Protective Tariff League has dis
covered useful field for its energies as result of
the war in Europe. 1t is sending requests to pro-
ducers throughout the country designate any article
raw material or finished product of use in agricu-
ture, mining, or manufacturing in the United States
for the supply OF which We dependent upon for
eign countries 1t is the purpose Of the league to
investigate the possibility of successful domestic
production of such articles and urge upon Ameri-
cans the desirabty of such changes in our existing
tariff system shall create new industries in every
line where we are now partly or wholly dependent
on foreign countries.
American industries, it has been demonstrated
recently, are absolutely dependent upon foreign
sources of supply, for many necessary articles in
spite of our boosted independence of the rest of the
world. The tariff league is to be commended for any
efforts it may make in the direction of achieving real
industrial independence

THE OPEN FORUM.
Writer Take, Gloomy View Of Racial
Deterioration.

To the Editor: The writer has taxed
great interest IN the letter OF DR.. Cora
Smith King. printed in The Herald %
August "A He deplores. as deeply as
DR.. King, the horrors and the waste Of
war; but. whatever theories one may in
dulge In. war has not caused r1en to
deteriorate. There never has been L
time when men were more able or more
willing TO undertake enterprises Of great
import to themselves and the race than
they are today. The physical. moral and
Intellectual forces which are now in
play on the European war prove the high
value nf the modern man. The danger
OF degeneration IN our nation and in
some others lies elsewhere. The men
mighty in the arts NJ war an9lOf peace
are not permitted to have successoTs.
The women OF Ike rank with these men.
the women well-to-do, accomplished and
highly educated. appear to be no longer
willing TO be the mothers Of adequate
families. They are seeking rather TO be
business women. lawyers, doctors, club
women, or women Of much leisure: and
in the practice OF their professions q
series Of babies is likely TO constitute
something OF hindrance. Hence, when
married, they seem TO console themselves
with one or two children. or quite as
often with none. As a result, the fam
lilies Of those men who have been our
leaders in war. politics. business. science
and literature are dying out or have
died out. and the refuse Of the earth
is being sucked in TO fll up the vacuum.
No: war. nor intemperance, nor disease,
working singly or altogether, car eff
feet such havoc IN our population as is
being produced by our present system for
the higher education Of women. The SIT
uation is in need Of serious consideration:
