department has steadily gone behind.
It has been attempting too much for
the compensation received and in or
der to get on its feet again, so to
speak, the people will hae to face
additional taxes. There may be ad
vantages to the people in the parcel
post; this is especially true with
those who feel it necessary to pat
ronize the mail order House in pref--,.o
r, tho lnral merchant, but
for our part we are yet unable to see
wherein it is a good policy to be pur
sued. The vast amount of merchan
dise that the city store is able to ship
to the rural communities by parcel
post puts them in direct competition
with the merchant or the smaller
town and takes from him the very
cream of his business. In consequence
of this the local merchant is deprived
the privilege of improving and ex
tending his line of endeavor; he can
not build new stores and must ne
satisfied to live in the out-of-date
home; he must curtail expenses along
all lines for he is unable to add any
thing of beauty or utility to ms
community. As time goes on, the
big mail order house increases its
power and finally, the merchant of
the small town is forced to the wall,
the rural communities go down and
a few large cities about the country
oro hum un and become about all
that is ever heard of. We say that
is the tendency and the people of the
rural communities, who now think
they are greatly benefitted by this
scheme of the mail order kings, back
ed by the big interests of the coun
try, will be the worst sufferers. They

vice and an important branch of the
government is being put in financial
straits with no prospect of getting
t until these same "common peo
ple" are called upon to make up the
deficit in the form of taxes. Further
more, the disturbance of the star
route and rural mail service of tho
country, almost to the point of an
nihilation, is not the least of the
evils. Should the department put
this branch of the service back to its
former efficiency the additional cost
required will sink the post office de
partment that much deeper into the
slough of despond. Mighty is the
parcel post, but it is a poor revenue
getter for the government.
