THE aELY.RY.NIGHTs.,

stvv%HE Fly-by-nights" is the subject OF very in
tercsting and inspiring editorial published by
the Portland oregon. Journal prominent Democratic
organ in the Pacific Northwest This expression is
used to describe a class of statesmen who appear at
local hotel and take orders for shoes other COM
modities and leave in few days for other commun-
ties The complaint OF the Journal is that these sales
men pay no taxes buy groceries. use no hardware,
patronze druggists and employ no labor.
The Journal THE home dealer is part OF Port
land He helps maintain Portland; he helps provide
jobs for Portland workers. he helps support Portland
workers he helps support Portland schools he helps
pay Portland hremen and Portland police; he spends
his earnings in Portland and among Portanders and
by his helpfulness to the community he deserves the
patronage Of the people Of the community"
The marvellous feature of this editorial by the Jour
nal is its entire disregard OF the application OF its ut
terances to the problem OF foreign importations The
"hy-by-night" at least pays hotel BILL and adver-
tses in the local papers AT the time that the
Journal is making plea for the purchase Of articles
from Portland dealers, it is advocating tariff policy
which encourages American people to buy from Euro
pean and Asatlc producers.
The European manufacturer pays very slight taxes
under a Democratic policy. he does not help build
up American enterprise and all his interests ad-
verse rather than favorable Every dollar we
nav him he uses to develop his industries hat he
can take more dollars away from us.
In its local affairs the Portland Journal recognizes
the fact that the home dealer is your neghbor your
townsman your co-worker and he ought to have your
patronage but in national policies the theory OF the
Journal and all other Democratic papers to be
that the producer of Europe and Asia is your neigh
Dor, your co.worker who ought to have your patron
age"
It is TO be hoped that those readers of the journal
who accept policy regarding the patronage Of Ely
by-nights Portland will extend their patriotism an,
loyalty to home interests by advocating nationa
policy which encourages compels the Amerncai
people 10 patronize the producers Of their eoun
try.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.

CGT NEVER knew such universal complaint with the
i postal service exists today" said Ohio
Congressman one day this week. almost every mem
Der have talked with back to Washington with
many petitions and remonstrances against curtail-
ments and changes that have taken place by the
ent administration. In both the populous and rural
sections the service has been affected. I told that
many Of the cities have had their mail deliveries cut
down and all the country many places that have
enjoyed two mails day, which situated
from the railroad have had their service cut to one
mail a day which has worked great hardship on
who in business. Complaint comes from
business in these towns that it is now impossible
to receive and letter the same day il is re-
ceived There has also been curtailment of many Of
the rural routes and the people all the country
are expressing general dissatisfaction with the
vice as it is conducted today. The question OF SER
vice and efficiency to have been entirely over
looked in the desire TO make a showing financially"
We resectfully submit the above to Democratic mail

CRIEST BILL TO extend
PERMIT POSTAGE SYSTEM

WASHINGTON, Jan. ia bill in
troduced in Congress by Representa-
tive w. w. Griest. OF Pennsylvania,
proposes the extension Of the so
called permit postage system to first
class mail matter when deposited at
a postofiice in quantities of not less
than 1000 pieces. This legislation has
been desired by commercial houses
as means Of saving labor IN the af-
fixing Of postage stamps.
Several years ago Congress author
lied the privilege of mailing third and
fourth class matter without stamps
affixed. and the proposition OF Con-
gressman Griest now includes the ex-
tension of the privilege to first class
and second class matter. and pro-
Vides for a reduction in the minimum
number of pieces Of third and fourth
class mail. which may be accepted at
the postofIice without stamps affixed,
the postage being collected in money.
