Once again the question of pay for the fransportation of mails and parcel post 18 beforq congress, and if Is one to which there is likely to be no end until the matter is fairly ad- justed. This week the presidents of the railroads have appeared before the senate postoffice committee in opposi- tion to the Moon bill which deals with railway pay for the carriage of mail according to what is termed the “space plan,” which would require the fixing of a minimum rate for car space and then permit maximum loading of the space without additional pay for the extra weight carried, or the additional service performed. Objection is made to it because it is eonsidered unfair, the contention be- ng that there should be pay for ‘he services performed, which would 6 possible through the weighing of ‘he mails once every year instead of nce every four years, Increased attention has been given o this subject because of the extra dolng by the parcel post, and by the jtatament of Congressman Moon to tho Mfect. that a saving of eight million lollars could be “made each year by ‘he postoffice department by getting ul the parcel post carried probably vithout any additional expense. This does not appear to be a fair vay of looking at the matter, any nore than it is jugt that such a bill thould be included as a rider to the rostoffice appropriation bill. It is only ust that the carriers should ask for \ fair compensation for the service: hey render, and that they should get s tull a consideration from the gov- snmept as any other employe.

It was back in 1908, according to the Springfield Union, that he sald before the Republican club of New York: “We are devoted to the [ W interests of peace, and we cherish no policy of aggression. The mainte- nance of our ideals is our surest pro- tectiony It is our constant aim to live in friendship with all nations, and to realize the aims of a free government, secure from the interruptions of strife and the waste of war. It is entirely consistent with these aims and it is our duty to make adequate provision for defense and to maintain the effi- ciency of our army and navy. And this I favor.” As to the tariff, he says in another speech made in the same year: “I be- lieve in a protective tariff. It is an established policy. Our opponents would not undertake to present to the voters of the country the issue of free trade. A protective tariff is essential to the interests of our wage earners, in that it makes possible the payment of wages on the scale to which we are accustomed in this country, and thus maintain our American standards of living. Hence the difference in the cost f production here and abroad is the fundamental consideration.” ‘There can be no question henceforth as to where he stands on these ques- tions. Nothing could be clearer or more to the point. SHOWS 2:30, 7, 8:40 L Mat. 10c; Eve. 10c and ™o MIDITORIUM Sk v CAPT, GEO.

After the meeting they crowded round her and asked her to become a member. She shook her head weari- ly, “I don’t know enough,” was all she could say. Then she tried to get away. But Mrs. Armitage trotted be- ide her, talking fast about Miss Shopldhd’s paper. They parted at the Armitage house, and Edith went to her own.

Its population is difficult to de- termine because of its great number of visitors and at the height of the pil- grimage season it Is usually much overcrowded. “To this holy city of Islam, Mecca, every good Moslem ehould make at least one pilgrimage during his life- time. He must arrange his affairs so that his family will be taken care of in his absence and the money he uses for his journey, it is stipulated.in his religion, must have been obtained by lawful means. “The more devout of Moslems us- ually transact no business either along the way or after arrival at Mec- ca, although the rules which prescribe conduct on this devout errand do not forbid such.a thing.

As in some other well known cases, the assertions which are being made in German newspapers .to the effect that it was a British submarine that sent the Dutch liner Tubantia to the bottom, indicate the desire to escape the responsibility in connection with such an attack, but it is much more difficult to direct suspicion against the submarines of any of the allies than it is against the German submersi- bles for the simple reason that they Aave not been engaged in any such kind of operations, while the offense has been repeated over and again by the kalser’s underwater boats. The act corresponded with the policy ‘which Germany has carried out despite its promises to the contrary; and it is but natural that when anything of the kind occurs that suspicion should be at once directed to a German sub- marine whether it happened to be seen or not. For the same reason it would not necessarily be a fair conclusion to at- tribute such an unjustified act to a British submarine even had one been Uncle Sam is not the only ‘neutral neighbor who has profited by the strife abroad, and that his prosperity Is neither a thing to be ashamed of or afraid of.
