HINDERING Seekers after the in
GOOD WORK siduous lobbyist might
do we'-l to probe the opposition now
in evidence against the proposed ex
pansion of the parcel post service
planned by Postmaster-General Bur
leson. Mr. Burleson's betterments
will probably curtail the business of
the express companies to a still fur
t'aer extent, and this fact might fur
nish a clue as to the best place to
seek tue malign influence.
Congress seems to be endeavoring
to assume a pose of rightous indigna
tion at the attempt of the postmaster
general to run his own department
witnout assistance from the solons,
and wnenever congress gets "on its
ear" over a little thing like courtesy,
it is an almost sure sign that power
ful interest who don't care n. cooper's
damn about courtesy are at the bot
tom of things. By doing away with
the bothersome special parcel post
stamps, and by increasing the weight
of packages that may be transported
by the new system through the mails
in the first two zones, the postmaster
general is plainly aiding the people
and making the parcel post more use
ful to the general public.
In attempting to do this, he is
merely doing his duty as director of
a very useful branch of the postal
r service, and congress has no legiti
" mate reason to stand in his way. The
only people who may be injured by
the changes are the express and trans'
Dortation companies, and congress is
. showing bad grace if not something
worse in appearing to champion
them against the people. The United
States is sufficiently behind the rest
of the civilized world now in the mat
Farmers Have More Com
forts Than Many People
In the Cities -:- -:-
By GEORGE ADE, Author and Humorist
WHY SHOULD ANYBODY WANT TO LEAVE A FARM? WHAT IS
THERE BETTER THAN FARM LIFE AT ITS BEST? THE
FARMER AND HIS WIFE THESE DAYS MAY HAVE EVERY ADVAN
TAGE ENJOYED BY THEIR CITY COUSINS AND MAY SUCCEED IN
MISSING ALL THE DISADVANTAGES OF LIFE IN A TOWN. ADD
THAT FARM DWELLERS HAVE A LOT OF COMFORTS AND PLEAS
URES UNOBTAINABLE IN A CITY AND YOU BEGIN TO SEE . WHY
ITS THE HEIGHT OF FOLLY FOR THE YOUNG FOLKS ON THE
FARM TO THINK THEY CAN BETTER THEMSELVES ELSEWHERE.
S
They've already begun to learn their little lesson. All through the
west the sons of the farmers are themselves taking over the farms. The
MOVEMENT. BACK TO THE LAND HAS BEEN GROWING for
'fifteen years. There's nothing really sudden about it.
A farm is a fine place for developing PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND
MORAL HEALTH. You get up and go to bed early, and you stay out
doors and eat wholesome, 'simple food. Then a successful farmer is
bound to feel that he is somebody.
He raises corn and oats and beans and potatoes and pigs and poultry
and cattle, and be can't help taking an interest in them and being proud,
of them and of himself. His close contact with the plain, homely, genu
ine things of life has an EFFECT ON HIS CHARACTER. He's fond
of his home and wife and children, and he doesn't want to leave them.'
Of course there's no place equal tp a farm for , BRINGING UP
CHILDREN. From the start they have the great natural advantages of
pure air, pure water and plenty of room to play.

ter of parcel post, and in trying to
bring it up-to-date Mr. Burleson is do
ing, something for which he shou'd be
praised, instead of hindered.
Additional suggestion of the pe
culiar influences that are probably at
work to hamper Mr. Burleson is to
be found in an article published in a
recent number of The Oregonian. This
dispatch, coming from one of the pro
fessional news-mongers of the nation
al capital, says that Ex-Senator
Bourne is behind the attack upon the
postmaster-general. As Mr. Bourne
has always been a friend of parcel
post, and as he was one of the prime
movers in making the adoption of the
system possible, it can hardly be be
lieved that he is now industriously
trying to hamper the progress of the
work which he helped get underway.
More likely is it that The Oregonian.
which has no present love for Bourne,
is trying to cast discredit upon him
in his own state. Associated Press
dispatches, which are quite reliable,
make no mention of the "business" of
M(r. Bourne as recounted- in The Ore
gonian's special news item.
Mr. Burleson should have the sup
port of Congress and the people in
whatever attempt he may make to
advance the usefulness of the parcel
post system. He is doing a public
work for the public good; and all who
cast hindrances in his path cannot be
classed as unselfish citizens seeking
the best for the. common weal.
SEQUENCE The election of Howard
OF EVENTS Elliott to the presi
dency of the New York, New Haven
& Hartford, and the proposal to make
him absolute dictator of its policies
and management is a matter of inter
est to the Northwest, as well as to
New England. Mr. Elliott, who has
attained no small fame as an execu
tive under the Hill interests, takes
the place of Mr. Mellen, another form
er Hill man, but of a totally different
stamp. Mr. Mellen has always been
an organizer, a builder, and a can
querer if need be. When ha was plac
ed in charge of the destinies of the
New Haven road that, line was in a
somewhat chaotic state, and was
threatened on all sides by rivals that
were fast gaining strength and power.
Mr. Mellen was put in office to
place the New Haven Una on its feet
and to crush threatening rivals. He
aucumpnsnea nis purpose, even
though his methods were perhaps not
altogether praiseworthy. He not only
ouBuox crrr.oaiiaoy. satceday,- jdly as, im
made over the New Haven line to a
modern railroad, but he tacked on to
it the Boston & Maine and other inde
pendent lines, and built up a railroad
system in New England that is as
firmly entrenched today in its terri
tory as are the Hill roads in the
Northwest. This being done, Mr.
Mellen and his headstrong methods
became a burden to the system, and
served only to embroil it with the
states through with it passed.
Therefor the master hand behind it
all saw that it was time to remove
the "Napoleon" and to place in his
stead a man of more diplomatic
though no less complete energy. The
choice of Howard Elliott is excellent
when viewed in this light, for Mr. El
liott is one of the best little peace
makers that the Hill roads have de
veloped. He can smooth down more
trouble, say less and Iceep more
friends than any man who has come
out of the Empire Builder's crucible.
While the Northwest will be sorry to
lose Mr. Elliott, it will watch with in
terest his work in New Englandr and
will giggle quietly to itself as it reads
of his progress with the several Nev
England railroad commissions.
There are places in development
work for all kinds of men, and ucne
knows this better than James J. Iliil.
Becauss he has developed men of the
stamp needed, his roads have furnish
ed perhaps more executives for other
lines than any other system. Mellen,
the fighter, will probably find work
for his peculiar talents elsewhere,
and his successor will probably b?
able to successfully smooth down the
furrows that Mellen has plowed in the
very soul of Puritan land. . And view
ed historically, the careers of both
will reflect credit -upon Western train
ing in the great railroad school so
ably presided over by James J. Hill,
the silent wonder of the Northwest
who, though he has "retired" is still
a power to be reckoned with in rail
road circles' from the Atlantic to the
Pacific.

MUCH LAND WAITS
PUBLIC IN WEST
6.000,000 acres of withdrawn public
lands were restored to entry during
the months of May and June upon ap
proval by the Secretary of the Inter
ior of the recommendations - of the
United States Geological Survey. This
action was the resu'.t of examination
and classification of the lands by the
survey, those restored either having
been found not to be valuable for
power sites, reservoirs, coalv phos
phate, "or potash deposits, or having
been definitely valued as coal lands,
and rendered available for purchase
under the coal-land law.
In Idaho 1,100,000 acres of coal and
phosphate withdrawals were classified
and restored and for water-power sites
approximately 10,000 acres were with
drawn and about the same acreage
restored.
In Montana 150,000 acres were re
stored as being noncoal-bearing and
about 1,000 acres as not valuable for
water-power sites.
In Oregon approximately 75,000
acres were restored as non-oil-bearing
lands ind, about 12,000 acres were
withdrawn for water-power or reser
voir sites.
In Wyoming over 47,000 acres of
coal withdrawals were reopened, to en
try and purchase.
Miss Ella Krummel, a we'l known
young woman-., of Bolton, and ' Morris

The Kind Word.
Some of. the older boys and girls
doubtless studied cancellation In
school last winter. But there is anoth
er kind of cancellation that can be
used by boys and girls of all ages, says
Apples of Gold. For example, two
(toys were speaking- of another boy.
"He Is slow in games." said one.
"Yes." replied the other, "but he al;
ways plays fair."
"He Is so stupid in Rchool." said the
lirst boy. ' .
"But he always studies hard," an
swered the second.
Thus, you see. every unkind word
spoken by the first boy was canceled
by a kind word from the second.
Hard to Find.
"Don't get down in the mouth, old
man." said the optimist "Look on the
bright side of things."
"That's all very well." mournfully
replied the sufferer, "but what tell me,
is the bright side of a gumboil?'
