the viewpoint Of the occidental bust
ness world Will seek common de
nominators by means Of round table
discussion, a principle sought TO be
applied to the settlement of many
world problems through the propos-
ed League Of Nations.
John III. Patterson's Views.
One Of Americas foremost and
far-sighted business men is just
home from an investigation of bust
ness conditions In France. England.
Belgium and Germany. He publicly
reports his impressions and among
other things he mphatically says:
II have just returned from a
trip to Europe. 1 went to
study business conditions. The
most important thing to do to
restore international business
is to quickly ratify the treaty of
peace and establish a League
OF Nations"
That business man is John H
Patterson. the president and general
manager of the National Cash Reg
lister company, which concern has
qualifications throughout the COM
mercial world. His viewpoint seems
TO be general among business men
everywhere.
The American business man
knows the senate ought TO ratify
the treaty at the earliest possible
moment and then get the congress
down to work on other pressing
problems He kn6ws that the mind
of individual senators Is decided
about what each is going TO finally
do when the vote on the treaty is
taken.
Why then, cannot American bust
ness, big and little. from Duluth TO
Mobile and from Santa Barbara TO
Wilmington, let the senate know
that what it needs and wants is
more light and less heat. more
speed and less procrastination on
capitol hill. washington. ID. c.
Concerted action on the part OF the
American public usually gets result,
for the peoples senators under
stand what that means.
Let the American business man
do some quick thinking and acting.
Also the American farmer, who col
lectively taken, is the biggest bust
ness man of all-he should speak
first and loudest.

POOR MAIL SERVICE.

There is considerable complaint on
the part of the business men and
|citizens Of this city regarding the IN
sufficient mail service between this
town and New Orleans. There are
only two mails from here to the lat
ter city, one via the T. & T. cannon
ball early in the morning and the
other via the eastbound train which
passes at rs p. m. The local train.
which goes down at 1920 a. m. does
not take mail at this place. All mail
intended for the cannon ball, must
be deposited in the local postoffice
before s p. m. on the previous day,
at which hour the said mail is made
up for the following morning. All
mail for New Orleans placed in the
postoffice after s o'clock p. M, must
lay over until the following after
noon at :25, when it is taken by
the train which goes by at that hour.
Thus, letters placed in the local post
office after o'clock at night, will
leave for the Crescent City at 4:25
o'clock the following afternoon,
reaching the said city too late for
delivery on that day, and being de-
Ilivered on the following morning.
This condition of affairs is intoler-
liable, and should net exist, Donald
sonvillc city Of sufficient size and
| importance to warrant better mail
service between it and the metropolis
Of the south The local train going
down at 20 a. nl.should carry mail
as it did prior to its discontinuance
over a year ago. This would great
tly improve the mail service between
the two points and make possible the
delivery Of some Of the mail to New
| Orleans in half the time required un
der present conditions.
| This matter should be brought tt
/ the attention of the postofice au
thorities and they should be petition
led to grant this very much needed
relief without undue delay.
