Ask for the Cireulation Pepart oe Merchants and Parcels Post of congress receives bushels of protests | against the parcels post. They are signed almost exclusively by | merchants of small country towns, A town of 3,000 people is) generally represented by five to ten opponents of the parcels post, who fear their business will be injured Most congressmén are embarrassed by these protests aud write in an apologetic or non-committal way. Not so Repre sentative William Kent of*California, who says right out, “I'm for the parcels post,” and adds “I do not believe that a parcels post system would enable distant supply houses to compete with those local merchants who are qualified to sell goods, who have adequate capital, who} understand their business, know their customers and can give! credit. It might eliminate those who, by reason of inadequate capital or unfitness for mercantile pursuits, are now in position to charge up their own inefficiency to their customers.” Kent is one of the reckless public men who does his own thinking and says what he thinks. Every once in a while the funny man, having run out of} ideas, asks, “Where do all the pins go?” Now he can say, “Where do all the textbooks go?” For Dr. John D. Wolcott, librarian of the U. S. Bureau of Education, tells us that at least} &@ million textbooks, all different, have been printed in this} country. Many of them have been lost, and now that he has started to-build up a library full of them, he finds that he can never hope to have all. Just think of not having preserved for posterity all the old joggerfies and ‘rithmetics and spellers, to say nothing of those instruments of torture, the algebras and geometries and grammars! But they've gone the v way of the pins Sab Rosa Statecraft ‘The United States senate, in secret session, considered for several days the nomination of Mahlon Pitney for supreme} judge. The dispatches tell us that many senators opposed Pit } Rey's nomination on the ground that his decisions as a New Jersey judge showed him to be unfair to labor, to have views More suited to the feudal age than to the present day Why should these matters be discussed in secret session? It is public business. Senators are, or ought to be, public serv- ants. The people are entitled to know both what they say and how they vote.
