The government has paid 100000
this year for "lost, strayed or stolen
parcels post packages carried under
the insurance plan. II a goodly por-
ton of this were spent in catching the
thieves who are the beneficiaries OF
this enormous graft the public would
be better served. The reimbursement
for lost packages hardly ever compen-
safes for the inconvenience from fail
ure to get the articles promptly. The
losses paid average only $12, so 1t Is
easy to calculate the number Of pack
ages 'lost." The First Assistant Post
master General very magnanimously
charges these half-a- million myster-
ious disappearing packages to care

ployees. We do not understand wheth'
er he offers this as an excuse. az
apology, or Justification.
The parcels post is almost equal Il
freight in volume and travels jus
about as fast. We telegraphed Chi.
cago on Tuesday for a package weigh
ing ten pounds. A letter was reoeivet
wednesday saying the package hat
been mailed under special delivery
hostage. It reached here Friday

1t is reported that w. c. Napier of

opposition to keeping John. in Congress

Ex- President Wilson has written
three letters to Missouri recently pro-

Senator Jim Reed~dhs liis, Jsmocrats.
He says Reed is incapable OF sus-
tanned alits lance to any cause" which
is about as strong an Indictment as
any man in public life could have re-
turned against him. He and LaFollette
are two birds that have befouled their
nests and disgraced their states. Along
with Lodge, who led the fight that
killed world peace and destroyed the
prosperity and world leadership of the
United States, they should be kicked
, off Of the stage.

SAYS PROCLAMATION
 ovERLOOKs FUNDAMENTALS

Washington, July 12.-The executive proclamation warning against interfer- ence with movement of interstate trans portation in connection with the railroad strike and particularly against inter ference with the United States mails, was declared tonight by Samuel Comp CTS, president of the American Fedora tion of Labor, to be calculated to make fetish of the transportation act and of the railroad labor board"
 Referring to the injunction against in terference, Mir. Gompers statement de- clared that railroad workers who with draw their services necessarily affect 'this movement of equipment
 The presidents proclamation. 7 the statement continued, implies that the workers have not proceeded in accord ance with the law and that in stopping work they have gone outside the law. The fact is that the law specifically gives to the workers the right to cease work in the event that they cannot accept the award of the railroad labor board The findings of the board are not deci- sions which must be obeyed They are awards which the board hopes both em- ployers and employees will accept, but which neither is bound ito accept.
 "The presidents proclamation overlooks fundamentals, It is an effort to sanctffy and crown with power the railroad labor board. It is denial of democratic methods. It is an effort to perpetuate the impossible The one way to operate tht railroads in safety is to revive joint ne gotistions, bring justice to the workerl and thus make possible a condition oi safety of railroad equipment"

Norheet Washington, alternate and operations officer The civilian team now at sea is made up. of H. E. Hunnewell, of St Louis and Thomas P. Wade of Chicago
 For Lieutenant Connolly the trip IS something more than journey sto an international race. He was married yes terday in New York to Miss Mary F O'Boyie, of Pittston, Pa, and is making . honeymoon trip of his voyage. Mrs Westover, Mrs. Reed and Mrs. Norfeet are also in the party.
