A CAMPAINGN FOR
BETTER SERVICE
EXPRESS COMPANY CONDUCT
ING A DRIVE TO IMPRESS GER
TAIN THINGS ON PATRONS.

Plans of a most comprehensive ma
ture to bring about conditions which
will make possible marked improve
ment in the express service through
out the country were announced
last night by S. P Davis, local repre-
sentative of the American Railway
Express Company. A Better Service
Campaign" has been undertaken by
the 135, 000 men and women employ
ed In the express business, for the
purpose of raising the standards of
packing, wrapping and marking ex-
press shipments.
The drive started on yesterday,
February 10th, in every city and
town in the country. 1t comprises
a campaign of education and appeal
among express employees simultane-
ously with a widespread effort to Sc
cure the cooperation of the shipping
public along the same lines. No new
packing or marking rules have been
adopted for the campaign, but ex-
press drivers and receiving clerks
have been instructed hereafter to in
sist, firmly but courteously, that the
rules already in force be strictly ad-
hered to.
The chief purpose of the Better
Service Campaign" is to check, once
and for all, the waste of time, effort
and money that result from lost or
damaged shipments. 1t is a source of
dissatisfaction and annoyance to both
shippers and the carrier and tends to
impair the express service 1t is ex-
pected that all who ship by express,
and 300,000,000 shipments are an
nually travelling that way, will be
keenly interested in the drive, be-
cause it so intimately concerns the
transportation end of many of which
depend almost exclusively upon the
express service.
The Better Packing Better Mark
ing" campaign is being conducted at
period of the year when the express
movement is usually the lightest and
just before the heavy commodity bus
mess starts to move in March. Not
all of the fault is laid at the door of
the shipper. The express company
officials are free to admit their own
shortcomings and do not evade re-
sponsibility for them. During the
campaign there will be an energetic
endeavor to prevent rough handling,
mis-routing or other deviations from
correct express methods in offices
and terminals, and closer supervision
Of the work of employees is expected
to improve internal operating condi-
lions.
A determined effort will be made
during the campaign to eradicate
what is known as the "No Mark"
evil. From July l to November 3OI
of last year 127,859 shipments, an
average of about $4,000 a month,
were turned over to the "No Mark"
bureaus maintained by the company,
because all means of Identification of

either shippers or consignees had
been lost, and their delivery, except
in few cases, made impossible. Per-
sonal baggage, hardware and auto
mobile tires comprise the largest pro-
portion of the ''No Mark" shipments,
which are attributed largely to the
failure of shippers to mark clearly
and to pack their goods substantially
With the help of the shippers and
through the influence of the cam
paign the express company hopes to
solve this problem.
Another cause of damage to or
loss of shipments in transit is the use
of poor quality of wrapping paper
and Irvine, or an insufficient quanti-
ty of good paper. Old or second hand
cartons and other containers, which
do not stand up or carry several old
marks, are found to be responsible
for many shipments being damaged,
wrongly delivered or going astray.
Old marks on baggage have sent
many trunks and suit cases to the
wrong destination.
The Better Service Campaign
is being conducted for the purpose of
bringing about a betterment of the

senator shcrman's Terror

n OF many days ago the Senate of the United
States listened in appalled, silence to the
warning that the monarchs of the world would
assume control of the league OF nations. and
by that token the weak and unsuspecting de-
mocracies would perish from the earth. a
little later the country was stunned by the
averment in the body that the yellow
races would rise up. under the league Of ma
tons, and dominate the Caucasian peoples OF
two continents. Later still the frightened
Senator Reed gave notice that the league
would be made the means whereby the black
man would rise to overwhelming power and
reduce the whites to slavery. But 1t has
remained for Senator Sherman, Of Illinois,
to nail the league to the cross. 1t has re-
manned for him to discover that, once formed,
the international union would fall under the
power Of the Pope In Rome. yield to eccle-
siastica influence and be the means of once
more uniting the church and the state in
compact rigid as that which existed a
thousand years ago.
This amazing appeal to religious prejudice
came without any notice whatever. The Sena-
tor from whom it issued stated frankly that
it was the result of no conference between
him and his party associates. He absolved
his Republican friends from any response
bility whatever for the remarkable declara-
ton Moreover, he let it be known that it
did not proceed from any Professionalism that
that he was a member of no church and
therefore, the spokesman of no creed or de-
nomination. He went step further. He
relieved his constituency out in Illinois of all
odium by saying that he already had made
up his mind not to be candidate for re-
election.
But Lawrence y. Sherman is member OF
the United States Senate. He represents in
part the great State OF Illinois, and he is
Republican through and through. None of
this can be disclaimed. He cannot raise
religious issue OF this sort from his seat in
that chamber and maintain at the same time
that it is merely personal notion of his or
an OK parte hallucination. What he SAYS in
that body on any question he SAYS as the
senior Senator from Illinois and as mem
her OF the Republican majority. No amount
of cant alters that fact
Few men with sound reason here or else
where will take this speech seriously Few
will see in it anything but bigotry and bun
combe. But there are some people who do
not reason. There are some who will be in
fiuenced by any religious appeal, and because
OF that, the datribe Of the Illinois Senator
has in it unfortunate possibilities. This is
the truer for the reason that few members of
the Senate will feel any inclination to ebate
so distasteful question with Mr. Sherman
