They do not claim that this should be done because of the war but on account of the parcels Post In other words they think the late should be increased because the I business has become much brtter than formerly. It is said that there were M'0.000.000 parcels post pack apes carried during the last year and this convinces most all the railroad serving newspapers that the rate hould be increased. Tet the govern ment's business is less bulky than it was bvcause in former days all mail matter consisted of newspapers or letters whereas merchandise is now commonly sent through the mail and merchandise is generally heavier in proportion to space occupied, than newspapers or letters. Therefore the transportation of mail should be more profitable for the railroads than for merly. If they can get their rates advanced on account of the parcels post there will be some hope for that old story about the moon being made of (rreen cheese.

The action grew, of course, out of the energy displayed by the war ves sels of European nations in Latin American waters during the past few weeks. The countries to the south of Ps have been sorely embarrassed and perplexed by the. problems presented of preserving their neutrality and at the same time not offending power 4 jwlth the ability to exact drastic repris als.

When we advance this idea e are met sometimes with astonishment or indifference on the part of our friends whose girls are growing up. A few reasons may be given for this manner of meeting our remark. It may not have dawned on these friends that their Kiris are reading much that comes within reach, and that girls have the right to be protected from harmful or trashy books and to have good literature provided for them. It may be that we are told that a girl does not understand the evil In a cer tain novel, or It may be that the ex cuse is put forth that girls read every thing in these days and It cannot be helped. That excuse seems the most futile that can be offered. We must stop to consider that a young girl has the right to be helped In her choice of books. It has been wisely said that "the rights of no class of beings are defended until it has Its wrongs." There Is no doubt that a girl s rights In regard to what she should read are not fully understood or appreciated. It Is a positive wrong to let her spend her time on evanes cent literature and to be unfamiliar with that which is lasting and worth while. Between the ages of sixteen and eighteen her tastes are being formed. Those who know the world and life should guard her from Injuri ous novels as they would from harm ful friends. Novels which give false impressions of life will never help her to learn the true dignity, grace and charm of a pure, strong womanhood. It would not be wise to thwart her in her reading or to veto some of the novel3 of the present day. Some of these may give an insight Into motives characters and vital subjects which may be of value. A novel may help which shows temptation, sin, folly and their consequences in such a way that a girl will hate wickeJness, bare ness and folly and will te attracted to all that is noble and good. But j the point is how to choose a work of that sort. EX I93J SAVE AT THE mm Hurry and Get Jours? 1.75 and 1.50 Osborne Sample (TO R P.ln WHILETHEY nor Tin ir ehTy make ideal presents.

Mr. Herrick of Ohio Is being much discussed all over the county as tim ber for the republican Our IIeroe nomination for presl Of TarU. dent, the boom being based on his "heroic work" as late ambassador to France. It Is possible Mr. Herrick may be of presidential calibre. That he la man of some capacity Is indicated by the fact he is very' rich, was governor of Ohio and became ambassador to France. But why his service In France hould b so exalted is beyond understanding The chief thing he did was to aid American tourists cash checks or in some other manner se cure C'.ln with whith to return home ward. It was useful work but in volved no great valor that could be noticed. Paris was never under at tack while Herrick was there. In fact he was relieved by the newly ap-I-ointed democratic ambassador before the ar had really gotten warmed up nd all he had to do was come home The democrat is still on the Job and he may even have to brush his own overcoat and his wife may have to cook the flap Jacks because house hold help Is scarce In Paris these days. If it is a heroic thing to be ambassador to France at $17,500 per annum and come home on a steam boat why overlook the new ambasna- dor whatever his name may be?

Previous history has laid down the precedent that the neutral ha'd few rights deserving recognition unless the neutral were capable of enforcing them. And today the Latin-American republics find themselves in the po sition of having their trade relation semi-paralyzed and their immediate future made uncertain, for the very simple reason that they are unable to command observance of their re quests from the belligerents. The United States, so far as that la concerned, has known and now knows what it is to suffer financial loss through Europe's disregard of its rights as a neutral. The question ot getting commerce out of the country, either to Europe or to South Amer ica, and of arranging the terms of ex change, have been complicated by the assumption on the part of the powers at war that their troubles took right of way and the Interests of neutral powers, even of the United States. came a bad second. It would be a salutary chapter if this present war would establish that the neutral had some enforceable rights, that the nations minded to tend their knitting and keep the peace should be disturbed to the minimum by the nations with the desire to smash In each other's heads. In times like these, however, when old standards are being shaken to their foundations. It is doubtful if we shall be able to achieve anything so pro saic as a sharp definition of the rlghti of neutrals. Atlanta Constitution . sensational novels, not necessarily of a vicious nature; but they destroy the taste for good literature. Novels; which encourage falfe emotions, false j sentiments, are sure to blunt the Im-; agination. Problem novels, dealing . with all sorts of deplorable conditions of life, are most unJersirable. An Intelligent girl, who is wishing to cul tivate the best things In lifo, will not care for trash. A girl with fine in stincts and a wholesome mind will not be interested In morbid books. Hut she needs to find the way out from confusion. Parents themselves may not have a taste fur reading, nor any discrimina tion. They may have good principles, average Intellect and ordinary educ tion, but a limited acquaintance of Kooa literature, iney read the new novels with no other reason than be cause they may be the "best sellers' or just to be able to say they have read them. Often they leave novels about which had best not come into the house, and then they are surprised to find their youns daughters reading them. Then they say, helplessly, that girls read all sorts of things now, and it is use less to try to direct their reading. When we are met by this attitude of irresponsibility It Is Indeed a desper ate task to reply; but the responsi bility rests with parents when they let girls drift along aimlessly In nove' reading. With a little care, or the ad vice of someone known to have ex perience, cultivation and Judgment, a girl can be started In the right way.
