PAHCEI.S POST OI'I'OII'H'MTV. THE parcel post which Is now in operation offers to all classes, merchant, producer and consum er tho greatest opportunity for their mutual profit of any governmental act In generations. Tho extent to which they benefit by it will depend upon the extent and Intelligence with which they use It. Tho parcel post lias been opposed by some on the ground that It would enrich the large mall order hoimes at the expense of the small merchants. Quite the con trary result should follow, t all de pends upon the merchant himself. If he avails himself of the parcels post be will find that it will prosper bis business at tho expense of tin; mail order bouse, and that ho will reduce rapidly and substantially tho exces sive trade which the latter now enjoys with bis natural customers. The advantages of tho parcel post aro all on tho side of tho local mer chant In every city and town, large or small. Ho enjoys special and lower rates within tho limits of bis zone, which, In the caso of practically every small merchant, covers his entire trado and protects It from outside competition. Ho gets quicker and better Bervleo than distant competi tors, and can hnndlo business through the parcelB poBt which they cannot care for. Ho Is vastly better off than under tho present, system of express service and rates, which serve the spe cial needs of the great mull order houses. In brief, tho parcel post gives Ihe local merchant the precise facility be needs for building up his business. It Is an opportunity brought right to his door to get new trade in large and constantly Increasing volume, and the extent to which his trudo grows will depend almoHt entirely upon tho enter prise with which he goes after It via parcel post. It cannot possibly Injure him If he Is awake and alert to Its ad vantages. To tho consumer nml producer It fills a long felt want. It will from (he very Btnrt Invite a closer relationship, and In time, aa tho service comes to bo understood and appreciated, it should bo the agency of a tremend ous volume of dealing between them, out of which the producer will draw greater returns for what he has to sell and tho consumer a material reduction In the coBt of living, with the added luxury of supplying tho tnblo fresh from the farm. Tho parcels post Is a constructive national step of the first magnitude. It Is In line with progress similar to that involved in the substi tution of tho railroad for the stage coach; tho sleauiHlilp for tho sHiuon-' or; the automobile for the horse; elec tricity for steam; machinery for band labor and with liltlinate devi'liipnicnt Its economic' benefits will be almost beyond cnmputiillon. truth of what we have said about the bankers doubling the grass crop, lie testified that In tho four years since 19(18 this bunk paid dividends of 2:'C per cent, or fiG per cent a year. Evorytone knows that the average banks, tho real banks of the country, are honestly conducted, and cam only a fair rale of Interest on their money. How then can this one bank "earn" such vast sums. Clearly not by the legitimate banking business, nor in any other lines than speculation or robbery. I,ot us hopo the investiga tion will dlscloso the methods. THE 11 A 11.110 A US' DEATH TOM A II A M Eli'S ST AT EM EXT. Mlt. CKOIKIK T. 1 1 A K 10 It. chair man of tin' board of directors of the I'lrsl National Hank of New York, told a very luleii'sllng story to tile house committee Inves tigating the Mi v Trust yesterday. and Mr. ltiiker, ho Is In the .1. I'. Morgan class, knows what he Is talk ing about. Itemlliig bis torn Iniony, one can more easily understand how such vast fortunes as his, Morgan's and others of thai Ilk have been ac cumulated. I'm- Instance, he shows how f "1011.0(10 bus grown in ;tl yours, from 1ST;1 to MI2, to $!in.00il,floo. In olher words, the original capllal bus Increased In IU years ISO (lines. Now allowing this sum to compound at 10 per cent, which Is surely good Inter est, It would have doubled, In round numbers, every seven ;vnrs, or not tUlte six times, Hut call It six, just to make It count easy, and even at this generous Interest compounded yearly, the total sum lit (he end of the IL' years would have been $:tH,no.(ino, nr at Hie end of .HI .vein s aluuit one.. Olid, ho II will bo seen Hint the Inter est must have been much lnruer to produce four times Unit much. Hut It Is known (bill In (be earlier ;irt nf Ihls period, the money n , h I H "Vanillin" capacity, or rut her Hie bunk eis had not become perfected In the n rl of growing two blades of grass where only one grew Pefore. Hut here romes the real startling part of Mr. Itakor'i story, but which shows the HE report of tho Interstate Com merce Commission for the tvo years 1!)11 and 1912, each ending on June SO, giving detailed figures of persons killed and wounded on rail roads In the United States shows that I 'i 1!H2 the killed numbered 10,585 and the wounded 1(10,5.18. In Hill tho killed were ln.SflG and the wounded 150,159. This astonish ing casually and morlallty showing being comparably only to those killed In somo of tho grent wars. Few mod ern wars have equaled in a year the record of the railroads. Of this number 400 railway em ployes killed nml 92,2(1.1 injured were reported under the head of ' Industrial accidents." Tills class Includes nccl- detns to railway employes In and iround shops, on boats and wharves, at stations, freight houses, engine houses, coaling stations, water sta tions, on construction, repair, or paint ing of buildings and such other acci dents as d: not occur In connection with the tnovemet of locomotives cl ears on rails. An analysis or the figures for the year 1912 under review bIiows that of the number killed (115 were employes, .118 passengers and (lfi12 other persons, trespassing nnd not trespassing, show ing nn Increase of 3:1 in tho total number of employes killed, a decror.Be of ,18 In tho total number of pnssen gers killed nnd an Increase of 194 In total number or persons killed other than employes nnd pnssengers. Of the persons Injured 1 13,112 were employes, 1(1,18(1 passengers and 10,710 persons olher than employes nnd passengerB. Theso figures bIiow nn Increase of 1(1, 101 In the number of employes, 2953 in the number of passengerB, nnd 2.1 in the number of other persons Injured when cnnipnrlson is made with the re turns for tho year Kill. It Is not staled how many passen gers were carried n cither yenr, but on the 210.0(10 miles of rail in the I'lilted Slates the number must have iiinoiiiiled to many millions. The denth ami Injury rates are possibly not extraordinary considering the number of persons carried, but the figures are very shocking, as they stand. Albert N. Jlinton, who has just op ened a law olllce In the Sleeves build ing being associated with William H. Trindlo, has been engaged for olllce work at the Y. M. C. A. during the ev ening hours.

He expects to accept a position In Port land In tho near future. Mr, MInton is a graduate of the col lego of liberal nrts and the law col lege of Willamette university.
