THE PARCEL POST AND THE
 RAILROADS
from Manufacturers Record)

From Manufacturers Record) pOstmaster- General Burleson an- Dunces that the parcel post is paying t profit. While that is merely his wnion. given in the absence of any l |&fnite facts upon which a safe con Iusion could be based, it furnishes a ppver occasion to remark that the htmaster- General placed an addi- hmal burden upon the railroads with out giving them additional pay when he required them to transport as par elpOst matter money which had pre- Ilsy been carried by the railroads G express matter. In various other ! ways he increased the amount of par NpOSt matter transported without hGeaSng the pay of the railroads. Perhaps litigation or an investigation VII some time show the extent of this sItional service required without wespOnding compensation, but until ai is shown 1t will not be possible
 Ranyone to say whether the par apoSt pays a profit above all right
 d charges against it. It is good
 kt that it doesn't under the Burleson
 aas and weights.-Tulsa (Okla.)

 lii well worth asking if it is quite
 tMest for the National Government
 demand of the railroads conditions
 'hch if granted to individuals or cor
 l'ratons would subject them and the
 nadS alike to heavy fines. If the Gov
 ennent requircs that railroads and

 sanary honesty demand that the

PURE BRED SIRES

Arkansas, in 1910 had just about one million cattle while Missouri had over two and one-half million head The Arkansas cattle were worth onIv about $l6.0O per head while the Miss ourl cattle were worth almost S29 O0 per head. Why the difference? AL most entirely a matter. of breeding In Missouri the cattle are almost all high grade and registered Shorthorn or Hereford of the beef type, or Jer- sey or Holstein or Guernsey of the dairy type. The scrub bull is practi- cally unknown in Missouri. The Fx- tension Division of the College of Ao- riculture and the U. s. Dept of Agri- culture is ready to help farmers in the tick free counties get pure bred bulls from Missouri, Kansas, or Illinois. and from Texas for the Soutl 2rn counties. There should be pure bred sire clubs oganlzed Tn up-to-date townships and the Extension Division will tell farm CTS where to go to get the animals. Organize this month and get the bulls before January. If there is a good bull in the county don't let him go to the block but move him into another neighborhood.

gian partisans of the Allies declare
she is actually employed by Germany
to promote the desire for peace. The
fact that she herself is a subject OF
Hungary is naturally not forgotten
by her critics.
Too Much Attention Paid har,
The plain truth is that Nine.
Schwimmer has been so "bossy,' so
exclusive and lofty in her tone that
her presence has gone far to render
hopeless an expedition that was hope
less enough already. sssf
Probably Mr.. Ford himself now
realizes that he and all the other
delegates paid too much attention TO
her promises about the great infiu'
ence of the Scandinavian countries
and the great desire of those nations
and other neutrals for peace.
In a news story the Aftenpost de.
clares that Nine. Schwimmer spent
thousands of dollars of Mr.. Ford's
money cabling and wirelessing mes
sages to innumerable committees
here, many of which are non.existent.
Privately, some of the delegates
feel that she fooled the party, prom.
ising that she had important connec-
tions here and Important documents
to the government, etc, none of
which she possesses. ..
.Mr. L0chner, on the other hand,
has made good impression by his
earnestness and sincerity. Tonign:
he publicly declared that the party's
greatest asset is the ForC; personal
ity. . i. .s.s3s =.
City Eager to See Ford.
The city Is eager to see Mr.. Ford,
who has, like Nine. Schwimmer, pos
sibly from disappointment at the at.
'titude of the Norwegian people and
press, kept himself secluded in his
room. He is, however, really indis-
posed.
He says, however, that he will re.
main here month, if necessary, in
order to crafty the popular demand
for his public appearance. AL ieea
of leaving on Wednesday has, accord.
ingly, been definitely given up.
There was a great rush for the pa
pers this morning to scan the news
and editorial comment on the first
days proceedings. There was great
disappointment among the leaders
when they saw the views were al
most unfavorable except on Mr. Ford
himself, VINO is highly praised. An
expurgated report of the papers was
read to the delegates by their lead
ers.

Times), the foremost Christiania
Bismarck daily tribune., 1915-12-25
ROOT is RIGHT.


Elihu Root is willing to accept, the
Republican presidential nomination,
but he is not going to line up WITH
the various political factions in the
presidential primary states to achieve
this end. o,,
His action in refusing to allow the
Minnesota Republicans to propose his
name is a wise one. No one wants
to submit to the abuse Of the present
primary system. The presidential
primary forces the Republicans into
a fight whether they want one or
not.
Root does not intend to be the tar
get of every demagogue. The presi.
dental primary is not going to de-
eide the choice Of the next national
convention. Mr.. Root knows this.
Despite the fact that 500 delegates to
the convention will be selected in
primaries, candidate may be nomi-
mated whose name was never on any
of the state ballots.
The primary, instead of simplifying
matters, is going to hamper the ac-
ton of the next Republican national
convention. Every state is operating
under a different law and some mod
US operandi must be adopted by the
convention in order that a choice
may be made.
