Parcel Post Service.

The parcel post, which has proved
10 be such a popular feature of the
mail service. is TO be made still more
available to patrons, Postmaster Cen
eral Burleson having just issued an
order TO allow larger packages to be
included under the parcel post rates,
says Editor Howard Reynolds in the
Quarryville pa Sun. The new order
will permit the sending of standard
sized fruit and berry crates.
No objection is found to this latest
ruling, but why does the department
continue to unfairly discriminate
against the products Of the printing
press?
True, there are certain kinds of print
ed matter, including blank forms, that
enjoy the parcel post rate. but circu-
lars, sale bills, festival bills and posters
of any kind. sale cards, business
cards, circular letters and the like are
not yet permitted 10 be sent at The
parcel post rates unless the packages
weigh more than four pounds. Weigh
ing less than that il must be paid for
at the rate of a. cent for each two
ounces. A package Of the above
weighing say three and half pounds.
will cost 2S cents to send While the
sender pays the postage at the start,
yet IL is charged up TO the customer,
therefore the enforcement of this pro-
vision of the postal law affects large
number Of people who are engaged in
various occupations. II is not for the
printer alone that a change in the
present law is desired, as the foregoing
will convince.
II you desire To ship piece Of iron.
bricks, farm or factory products, you
are permitted to send them at the par
eel post rate, which allows a three
pound package to be shipped $50 miles
for seven cents.
No protest was made against the
discrimination when the parcel post
was establ shed. in order that the new
plan should not be embarrassed. as
many things had 20 be considered by
the department officials. Zones have
been heightened and rates have been
reduced since that time, but still this
unfairness toward printers and users
of printed matter is allowed to con-
tinue.
There is a time coming when patti
ence ceases 10 be virtue There is
no good reason for the continuance Of
this unfairness IL is a rank injustice
that should be corrected.

The New Primary Law.

The whole people Of Maryland were
in favor of new Primary law, one
that would do away with the old con-
vention system and allow the voters TO
select their own ticket. After many
efforts law was passed providing for
a primary and allowing any man who
was SO disposed TO become a candidate.
That was supposed to be the effect of
the law. but a provision in this law.
known as the envelope system, was
Incorporated in the law which practi-
cally nullifes all its good features.
Any man may announce himself as a
candidate. pay his money and have his
name on the ticket but the politicians
are wiser than the law and have in
vented scheme 10 cheat the people
out Of any choice in the selection Of
the ticket.
As an example Of how it is WORKED,
we call attention to the report in the
papers Of a meeting held by the organ
ization and its friends in Prince
Georges county. They met and Sc
lected ticket. nominating their friends
in every instance. Their names will
be'printed on the official ballot for
election. SO far il is all right. but
the practical part of il is TO follow.
The organization will buy as many
tickets as il thinks necessary and will
have them marked before the election
and distributed to the faithful. Every
voter who is known TO favor the or
ganiztion side will be given a marked
ticket when he goes to vote. H. will
also be given ticket BY the judges of
election. He goes into the booth. votes
thespreviously marked ticket and puts
the official ballot in his pocket. If be
is a purchasable voter he takes his
official ballot TO the manage and gets
his price for casting his vote.
This method of doing business is
worse than the old convention system
and is unfair TO every candidate ex-

cept those selected by the organization.
Are the voters of this county going
to. stand for this way Of doing busi-
ness or not? 1t is up to them. The
ticket has been selected and the
voters are expected TO ratify the
choice of the politicians.
The primary law, in go far as its in
tention to meet the demand Of the peo-
pie is farce and Eve men instead Il
one hundred, as under the convention
system. make the ticket to be voted.
