THE PARCELS POST.
The Capital Journal believes that a limited parcels post would
add io the conveniences of the peopie iivinjr in the country.
It also believes that merchants in cities like Salem and other
smaller cities would increase their business materially.
The parcels post confined to the free rural mail routes and
country stapre lines would not open the door to abuses.
The big; Eastern mail order houses would have to ship their
stuff out by freight, and then remail it on the routes.
The granges and fanners' organizations all over the country
are asking for the establishment of the parcels post.
Merchants and business men who have examined into Ihe
matter are not opposing the parcels post in limited form.
The bill provides: "That on each and all rural mail delivery
routes of the United States, until June 30, 1914, the postmaster
at the starting point of such route shall .receive and deliver to
the carrier or carriers of said routes all articles, parcels or
packages, not prohibited to the mails by law, and falling under
the definition of fourth-class matter, and not weghing in excess
of 11 pounds, for transportation and delivery on said routes
only: and the carrier shall receive at intermediate points on all
rural routes such mail matter of the fourth-class for delivery
on their respective routes only.
"Postage shall be paid on all articles, parcels or packages
entitled to transportation under the provisions of this act as
matter of the fourth-class on rural mail delivery routes only
at the following rates: One cent for each two ounces or less; 2
cents for more than two ounces, but not more than four ounces ;
3 cents for more than four ounces, but not more than 12 ounces ;
6 cent for more than 12 ounces but not more than a pound; 2
cents per pound for each additional pound or fraction thereof up
to and including a total of 11 pounds." This would make the
maximum charges for a parcel over the rural post 25 cents.

"The milk served in this hotel is skimmed milk," Is printed on
many bills of fare in Oregon hotels.
When we were a boy people were vaccinated once for smallpox
and that did for life.
Then it was changed to once in seven years.
Now they are asking that people bo vaccinated every few
years.
There is so much regulation of the dairy industry no one will
go into the business, and many are going out.
"Skimmed milk" on hotel menu cards makes Oregon the laugh
ing stock of the world.
There is no inspection of adulterated whiskey, cigars stuffed
with gutter pickings, false hair worn by women, padded forms
or canned salmon.
According to the State Dairy Commission, milk is the only
deadly drink.
According to the State Board of Health, the only cup that is
loaded with death is the public drinking cup.
Some of these same officials sit down to public banquets and
start in with the race-destroying cocktail, and wind up with delirium-producing
champagne, but the people must be saved from
milk and water.

VIRTUE
IS ITS own
Hon. W. 0. Darts, of the Frank
fort bar, in responding to the toast,
The Court of Appeals," made a
very witty speech, which Is printed
in the West Publishing Co.'a Docket,
a lawyer's Journal. In concluding,
be said.
'In conclusion, if it would not be
Cvuoiuefnl preaurapiious, 1 would
say to the court of appeals: Grind
on, and though like the mills of the
gods, you grind exceedingly small,
yet grind with exactness for all, with
the serene consciousness of duty
done, and of that assurance, which
comes as the result of the experience
of the ages, that "virtue is its own
reward." Though I regret that I
cannot promise that reward as full
and speedy as the small boy gave to
his hero. The teacher offered a re
ward of $1 in gold to the pupil who
would write the best story of 100
words on the subject "Virtue Is Its
own reward," to be written without
assistance, and read without revision.
Here is the story that knocked the
persimmon:
"'Virtue Is IU Own Reward.
"'A poor young man fell in love
with the daughter of a rich lady who
kept a candy shop. The poor young
man could not marry the rich candy
lady's daughter, because be had not
money to buy furniture. A wicked
man offered to give the young man
J2 If he would become a drunkard.
The young man wanted the money
very much, so he couid marry the
rich candy-lady's daughter, but when
he got to the saloon, he turned to
the wicked man and said: 'I will not
become a drunkard, een for great
riches. Get thee behind me, Satan.'
And as he turned around to go home,
he saw lying on the sidewalk a pock
etbook containing a million dollars
In gold. Then the young lady con
sented to marry him. They had a
beautiful wedding and the next day
had twins. Thus you see that 'Vir
tue Is Its own reward."'.

A VARIEGATED
ASSORTMENT
OF RODENTS
Seattle, March 13. If Seattle citi
zens fall to see brilliantly-colored
rats scampering over the bills, It
will not be because such unusual
specimens do not exist, for the health
department yesterday liberated In
different parts of the city 25 dyed
rodents for purposes of identification.
There are red rats, green rata, yel
low rats and blue rata and each rat
has a price of f 2 on lu head, wheth
er captured alive or dead. The pur
pose of the health department la to
trace the drift of the rodent popula
tion as It migrates from one section
of the city to another.
"At this time of the year, rats
leave the waterfront, where the" ro
dents stay during the winter months,
and make their way to the hills and
residence portions of the city," said
Health Commissioner Crlchton.
"Another purpose In turning these'
varl-colored rodenta adrift is to find
out to what extent the different spec-1
lea Intermingle," he said. "Seattle
probably has fewer rata than any
other city of its size in the world.
This Is very fortunate, for govern
ment statistics show the rat to be
more destructive than ail other spec
imens of the rodent family com
bined." Reul Eiilute Transactions.
