Perhaps one of the best ideas of the value of the parcel post is to be gained from the importance which lo- cal service attaches to it. That the government report for the first fif- teen days of October shows 10,182 packages handled by the local post- office is one of the best indications that the service is not only rapidly developing, but that it is serving the wants of the public. This showing at the end of ten months is a most en- couraging demonstration of the man- ner in which the parcel post is cater- ing to the quick and convenient hand- ling of packages. While much of this business was done under the old rate the change represents a saving to the public and the hearty response there- from in taking advantage of such op- portunities indicates the general ap- preciation. What is true in Norwich and the territory covered by its rural routes is true throughout the country. Parcel post has made an excellent be- ginning. All that has been promised has been fuifilled and additional ad- vantages granted. The service is still in its and what has been developed in its brief history is bound to show much greater results as time goes on and the public becomes better acquainted with its advantages. The growth is confined to no one section, but is gen- eral. That it means much additional work for the postoffice is made evident but it already portends magnificent financial returns from which the re- quiremerits for additional help can be met. Parcel post is vindicating all that was claimed for it ‘and it has but just been started. Its possibilities haven’t as yet been fully realized. infancy THE FIREARMS EMBARGO. The question of removing the em- bargo on the shipment of firearms to Mexico, which is being urged from certain quarters, is one which ;must be settled only after this country es- tablishes a fixed policy concerning that republic. Such a course is being urged on the grounds that the Mexicans should settle their difficulties them- selves and that-the granting of per- mission to buy ammunition and fire- arms here would be the quickest method of putting an end to the trou- ble. Justification of this is argued from the fact that it was the policy which was pursued by the nations of Burope concerning the Balkan states. Permitting the rebels, or all the Mexicans to buy here would stimulate & good business in that line and would result in more fighting than is oc- curring at present in Mexico, but it is certainly a move which cannot be con- sidered until it is definitely known Just what this country is going to do. It must be known first whether this country is limited to moral persuasion or whether it is prepared to inter- vene. If as the last resort it is ready to send troops into Mexico, which it is declared would be met by the union of the federal and constitutional forces as a resentment of any such action ‘we cannot afford to put firearms in the hands ot those who are going to offer resistance to any such attempt to set natters at rights in that country. We zertainly cannot afford to Iift an em- Hhargo when such an act in a short time ‘may prove a boomerang. Our program must be carefully and wisely prepared. “RITUAL MURDER” TRIAL. The world can well shudder at the possibilities 'which may result from t outcome of the “ritual murder” at Kiev, Russia. The Jews have not been accorded the most cordial reception in that country. There has long been resentment to their presence the refusal of passport privileges to a citizen of this country because he was a Jew resulted In, the abrogation of treaty relations which have never been readjusted. The anti-semitic sentiment in Russia has grownsthrough agita- tlon both before and since this #rial which 18 interesting the entire world. The two frequent massacres of the Jews have displayed the smouldering sentiment which requires little to fan it into the commitment of the most horrible atrocities, In the Beillss trial which has been hanging fire for two years the govern- ment is endeavoring to preve that the Yushchinsky boy was killed in con- formity with the custem of the Jews that they might have Christian blood for the making of their passever bread, It is belng heard by ignerant peasants and ne oppertunity is being lost in arousing sentiment against the Jews in Russia. In view of the hatred already exists this is ne difficult up- dertaking, and it is no surprise that appeals are geing out to many na- tiens seeking protests against © the charge and against what there is rea- son to believe will result in increased vielence agalnst the Jéw: CHANCE FOR DEVELOPMENT.. There are excellent chances for much good te result from the trip about New England which is being made by a delegation of Boston merchants and business men. The purpose of the visit is to get better acqualnted with the commerclal interests in the ambi- tlous undertaking of-developing both the city and the port of Boston. Such a trip is a recognition of the territory which must be drawn upon for that very development, and it calls atten- tion to the opportunity for coopera- tive action which ought not to be over- looked. If the business men of Bos- ton see a chance for a greater in- crease in trade through the emcour- agement of the. industrial' activities in New England, it is 'aumatter which no city can afford to overlook. There are many directions in which New England cities shguld grow, and there is likewise vast oppertunity for growth in the various branches. of agriculture, fruit and cattle raising. If getting acquainted businesswise is cal- culated to show a production and trade development to the advantage of all concerned, it should also open the avenue for the betterment of ms,rg(et— ing conditions, the lack of which at the present time is responsible for a large amount of fruit and farm pro- ducts going to waste. As is anticipated, there is good rea- son to believe that through the com- bined efforts of the commercial or- ganizations much profit is to be galn- ed for New England, and it remains for each community to strive for its full share, through making the most of what 1s offered it through the new as well as the old outlets, PERSONALITY IN POLITICS. Much satisfaction is being gained by the progressives in Massachusetts over the excellent run which was made by their candidate for governor, Charles 8, Bird. Yet it must be real- ized that his magnificent vote was se- cured upon the strength of his per- sonality rather than upon the prin- ciples which he represented. Mr. Bird got a handsome vote on his name. ‘What he stood for was disregarded the same as if" he had been elected and the ticket with him defeated. Had it been the issues which Mr. Bird and the progressives of Massachusetts stood for which drew the vote, the rest of his ticket which must have stood for the same thing would have received the same support instead of falling hopelessly behind. In this connection the Waterbury American well says: “It was Roose- velt who introduced personality into politics. He was the issue, not the things he stood for, or the platform he stood on. Through him and his kind of campaigning, personality has become a paramount issue. But per- sonality cannot last, this is the na- ture of things. During the Civil war, for example, and the period just fol- lowing it, it was a commonly accept- ed saying that a vote must be cast for an issue and not for a man. The trouble has been that there are no clearly defined issues before the vot- ers today. Everything is in the melt- ing pot. Probably in a year or two, when the tariff bill, the currency bill and other legislation have worked out their legitimate results, we shall get a new alignment in politics, an align- ment on important issues more than on personalities.” EDITORIAL NOTES.

Rollipg is a new health method. Some people need a “roll” to put on weight, but for those who laugh and grow fat it requires a roll to grow 1éan.

Some of the progressive leaders are manifesting much interest in Massa- chusetts, but there is a revelation in the Bridgeport election which ought not to be overlooked.

As agent for an Eastern land company he had stopped for a night at her father's ranch in Meontana. The girl had ap- peared shyly in the living room of the use and her father had caught her sun-crowned little hand and drawn her affectionately to him. “Come Bess, I want you to meet the man from New York who wants to build skyscrapers on the side.of Money Mountain.” Bess Delorme had laughed merrily and placed her hand for an instant in Churchill’s, with a few words of en- ‘couragement, concerning his venture. Bess had slipped away and, he had never seen her again. But her face haunted him always with'its charm of sweet expression and the pretty curve of cheek and chin. | The thick dark lashes that shades her soft black eyes, and the curling tendrils | of her jetty hair, were set in his mem- ory like a paigted picture. The next year he returmed to find her father dead and the motherless home broken up. Bess Delorme had gone further West, some one said to relatives in California. No one knew definitely. So_ Churchill nursed his secret love and looked always for the face of the girl he had seen but once. He be- came a travelling salesman and his ‘business took him over much Western territory. In every town or city he visited his first inquiry, was for some one by the name of Delorme, but so far he had never found trace of her. It was a cool, sweet night, such as California knows often, and Churchill lingered on the steps of his Los Angeles hotel wondering how to spend the evening hours before bedtime. He lighted a cigar and wandered down the street until he came to an open-air moving-picture theatre. He paused before the gay posters outside the. entrance, studying the pictures of the Western play, Miss Wildfire. Sud- denly he bought a ticket and went in- side. He sat patiently through several reels until finally there was flashed on the whfte screen the title of the next play, Miss Wildfire, a story of love and hate on the plains. Churchill settled back in his seat. It would be something to look on the fa- miliar “country where Bess Delorme lived. At the very first scene his interest was aroused. Surely there was the De- lorme Ranch house, and the giri dressed in corduroy skirt and flannel shirt, with broad-brimmed hat on her ! dark curls, was Bess Delorme herself. The play proceeded: cowboys rode madly hither and thither: rival lovers appeared for the hand of the rancher’s daughter; the rancher was a man who was strange to Churchill and Bess was the only familiar face among the char- acters. The characters came and went, made love, disagreed, hated each other, fought and died—and Frank Churchill saw only one face through it all. When the play was over he went dizzily around to the office of the man- ager and asked questions. “Miss Wildfire—why that part is tak- en bywLillian Delorme. one of the most popular players; let me see, that's a Goodenuf film. Miss Delorme is one of the Goodefluf players, you know. Sorry that’s all I know 'about it. Write to the film company in_ San Francisco, they’ll give you her address. : Churchill - thanked him and went away, only to return and view the Miss ‘Wildfire film again. ‘When the doors were closed for the night he went to his hotel and studied the telephone directory. The Goodenuf film company could not be expected to be doing business at mid-night, therefore his long-distance call to San Francisco was unanswered. He went to bed stirred by.a thousand hopes and fears. “It must be that I'm going to meet her again somewhere or I wouldn’t have chanced on that film tonight when 'my thoughts are full of her,” he told himself time ard again during the sleepless night. At 9 o'clock the next morning he got the Goodenuf Film Company by tele- phone and to his chagrin learned that Mias Delorme had left the company the week before and gone East. Her desti- nation? “Oh, New York, I suppose; they all go there,” sighed his inform- ant, as the interview was closed. “East” was indefinite—New : York | was a clew that Churchill clung to as i he finished his business in Los Angeles and prepared to leave for Chicago on his homeward trip. And everywhere he went he kept his eyes wide open for some, glimpse of his love and whenever he was in the vicin- ity of a moving picture show he I ynuf Fiim Company, | of players may I not impose upon your dropped in hoping to see Miss Wild- fire once more, and again he saw the play in different cities until he | knew it by heart. He grew intensely Jjealous of the big cowboy hero of the play who made such romantic love to the charming little Western girl, and he would have slain the villain single- handed every night if he had been flesh and blood. At last he reached New York and re- ported. to the sales manager. binson was very busy that morning and he sent word out to Churchill to wait a eouple of hours for him. “I'll borrow a stencgrapher then add dictate a few letters,"\ decided Churchill and he spoke to the chief clerk. Five minutes afterwards he was seated in a small office, his feet ele- vated to a table and his mind busy over the correspondence that had ac- cumulated during his absence. Some one opened the door behind him .and slipped into a chair. He turned his head slightly, saw a dark, curly head, the outline of a white-clad shoulder and arm and a slim brown hand, poising a pencil over a fresh notebook. Churchill’s feet came down from the table, and his hat flew into a corner. “Good-morning,” he said crisply. “Are vou ready? “Yes,” was the low-toned reply. “Please take this letter: ‘The Goode- San Francisco, Cal.: Gentlemen—Referring to my several inquiries concerning the where- abouts of Miss Lillian Delorme, until recently a member of your company | courtesy a little further and ask to institute some inquiry, in whatever di- rection you may deem advisable, con- cerning the destination of Miss De- lorme when she left San Francisco? I am very anxious to find her present ‘whereabouts and ——" “Oh, excuse me! ographer breathlessly. ‘Going too fast for you!” he asked kindly “No—but, please, Mr. Churchill!” He whirled around in his chair and stared with unbelieving eves into the blushing startled face of—'Miss Wild- fire’ herself. He sat there with parted lips for an absurdly long time, but it was rather disconcerting to search the West for a trace of Bess Delorme and come back to the East to find her prosaically established in his firm’s business office! It took Frank Churchill two hours to explain to Bessie Delorme why he wanted to see her and to hear from her lips that she had decided not to be an actress after all, and that she had taken her dying father’'s advice and gone East to seek work in New York; her only aid had been one of Churchill’s business cards found among her father’s effects. “Well, Churchill,” said his sales man- ager when at last he interviewed the travelling man. You can put a mourn- ing band on vor sleeve—I'm going to change your territory.’ Not New England?” asked Churchill delightedly. “Yes. 1 thought you'd kick a lot over it—you've been so keen for the West. “I was looking for something out there but I've found it now. I say Mr. Robinson, fix it up so I can have a month off in ‘October, will you?” “Not getting married?” asked the other. “Perhaps,” returned Chugchill guard- edly, but in his heart he knew that Miss Wildfire and he had not crossed the continent in search of each other in vain. “Then T'll see that you get a pass over the line to Niagara Falls,” grinned his chief.—St. Louis Globe Democrat.
