| The express nororoly will net be
permitted to secretly hamstring the
parcel post. Hereaf .er, according to
Postmaster General Burleson, tie
struggle must lie carried on in the
open, where the people of the ma
tion may see and note every move.
In previous letter told how the
postoffice approl riation bill was
butchered during tie closing hours OF
the 63rd congress and why. The bill
contained provision compelling the
railroads to carry parcel post pack
ages for Uncle Sam for approximate
ly the same rate they charge the
express companies for similar ser.
vice.
That would have enabled this ad-
ministration to give the country a
genuine parcel post system and would
have driven the express monopoly
out of business.
The express companies cannot com.
pete with the parcel post unless
they are given the advantage of low
er railroad rates. With an "even
break" Uncle Sam has demonstrated
his ability to handle more business,
handle 1t more expeditiously and
handle 1t for less money than the
monopoly.
That is something of an achieve.
ment and 1t has proven a tremen-
dous boost for pubic ownership. II
Uncle Sam can run the express bus
iness SO efficiently and economical
ly. why not place him in charge of
the telegraph monopoly and the tele.
phone monopoly and maybe-the rail
road monopoly?
These are disconcerting questions
for the monoroliss affected, and
so they are endeavor,ng to discred-
1t the entire movement at its very
inception by alta cking and hamper
ing the parcel post.
Fighting Under Cover.
OF course, they do net dare come
out in the open and frankly avow
their purpose. The people would new
er stand for that. The parcel post
must be knitted in the dark and that
Is what the express monopoly and
It's allies. the railroads, have been
doing for two years. Up to date the
score Is In favor of the conspirators.
They have pigeonholed in the Sem

tion and as final evidence of their
power they have defeated the post.

GAME LAW APPROVED
BY THE GOVERNOR

A special from Tallahassee to the
Jacksonville Metropolis says:
The governor today signed the bill
abolishing the state game depart
ment.
With the stroke of the pen that
wrote his signature on the enrolled
act of the legislature, Governor
Trammell placed on the statute books
the Sornto bill, which places the en-
forcement of the game laws back in
the hands of the boards Of county
commissioners.
The abolition of the state game de-
partment, which was the very aim Of
the Gornto bill, became a fact on the
moment the governor affixed his sig
nature to the bill.
During the past few days the chief
executive has been besieged with pc
titions both for and against the meas
ure. Sportsmen and hunters from
nearly every section of the state Pc
titioned the governor against his ap-
proval of the measure. Likewise,
many who favored the placing of the
enforcement Of the game laws within
the boundary of the respective coun-
ties, sent in petitions favoring such
approval.
The governor waited until the very
last day left to him for action. Should
he not have either vetoed or approved
the bill today it would have become
a law without his signature. Had he
vetoed it the state game department
would have been given life for at least
another two years, or until the legis-
lature meets again in 1917.

In March and April, Britain seized

Denmark. Local financial concerns
discounted the drafts. These are due
soon. England has ordered the cot

FIERCE CHARGE
AGAINST FULLAM
Head of Naval Academy Accused of
Tampering With Evidence

Iamperlng With Evidence
Annapolis, June 15.-A virtual
charge of tampering with the evil
dence of witnesses before the court
of inquiry, which is investigating ir-
Irregularities in examination papers at
the naval academy has been made
against Admiral Fullam, superintend-
ent of the school by Congressman
Hay, counsel for the seven midship-
men defendants.
Hay said the evidence of the mid
shipmen was, that they had been TAX
en- to the superintendent office and
that either the superintendent or his
aide told them if they took a certain
position in this case what would hap
pen to them if indicted for tamper-
ing with the evidence of witnesses.
As a result of Hays statement the
president of the court wrote Fullam
requesting that the witnesses and
possible defendants summoned thru
the superintendent office he not in
structed as to the possible status in
which they would be placed by vir-
tue of any action they might take as
witnesses or defendants.
