Fair weather for Easter! It is due a cordial welcome. Again at the Democratic Con vention it was a case of Eliza beth City first. Now all that speculation about whether the State Con vention would endorse Jose phus Daniels for President is so much labor lost. If these investigations are getting to be as dull and prosy as the news dispatches indicate them to be, why go on with them? If Bailey should get the Dem ocratic Gubernatorial nomina tion, wonder if he would be as keen for this joint debate busi ness in the pre-election cam paign as he is before the pri mary.

At the same time, The Advance does not wish to convey the impression that Dr. White is an old man.

To cap the climax of two weeks of arduous strain, a lit tle part broke on our linotype last night that put the machine completely out of commission until the broken part could be replaced from the factory.

All Want Help Postman None Want Pay Freight Congress Having Difficulty Devising Some Way to Raise Postman's Pay Without Incurring the Opposi sition of Some Special Interest By DAVID LAWRENCE ICwWl 1124, Sir T?. Am?II Washington, April 17.?Everybody is for the postman, yet nobody wants to pay the increase in his salary. . This sums ud the situation I ? that has arisen with reference to the $150,000,000 appropria tion proposed in the Edge-Kelly bill and the $43,000,000 appro priation iUggOTted as a substi tute by Postmastei' General Harry S. New. Chambers of commerce In many parts of the country have petitioned Congress to help the postman. Farmers' organizations express a friendly Interest In the welfare of the postman. But all these organi sations are opposing the levy of Ad ditional postage out of which the in creases In pay are to come. The American Farm Bureau Fed eration calls the Edge-Kelly bill, with its $150,000,000 appropriation simply "political pap" designed to build up the Republican administra tion's instrumentalities for vote get ting next election, for despite the strict rules with respect to the par ticipation of Federal employes in politics, the fact that postmen go from house to house and have a number of friends on their routes Is counted as a political asset nf no small value. The position of the farm bureau, however, is that the Increases in pay should not be taken out of the parcel post rates. Mr. New has al ready announced that his plan in cludes a $43,000,000 expenditure for salary increases out of which the parcel post shall pay $30,000,000 In increased rates. The remainder is to be raised by Increases in second, third and fourth class postage. Ther*? is no intention of raising the first class postage rates. The announcement that second,' third and fourth class rates are to be tampered with has aroused the] various publishers' organizations who have begun to fight the meas ure. The farm bureau- points out that $500,000 was appropriated recently to investigate the whole question of i. scientific adjustment of postal rates and that to legislate in ad vance of scientific findings is simply to confess a waste of a half million dollars. But the inquiry probably would not be concluded In time to make the pontal salaries higher this year and this Is the time when the politicians want It to apply. There teems to be a general opin ion that parcel post rates need some adjustment but tht exact method of applying the increases will depend to a large extent on competitive con ditions, for to oiake the rates too burdensome simply switches much of the business to the express compan ies. Indeed, some of the farmer repres^ptative charge th*t tbe whole thing Is a scheme to ruin the parcel post and that such a result would not be displeasing to the express companies. Some of the big publishing houses with large circulation from one end of the country to the other have found It cheaper to ship their maga zines by freight and express. This i has done away to a large extent J with the argument that the Govern i menf is carrying at a low rate some of the national periodicals. The pro ihibltive rate has operated to drive I that particular kind of business I away from the postal system alto j gether. So In making rates the Govern ment Is obliged to proceed carefully lest the whole parcel post structure be damaged. Truck loads of data have been obtained on the subject from all parts of the country. The Postmaster General is represented as having been desirous of analyzing j this data before making final recom j mendatlons but the pressure for the passage of the Edge-Kelly bill forced his hand. His recommendations will I never-the-less be fought by the farm ?interests on the ground that three | fourths of the new expense is to be I borne by the parcel post which. In 'turn, It is contended "preys upon ithe farmer," Thus has the age-old question of postal rates which be came acute in the Taft administra tion, come back again to plague the Coolidge administration. pnom,KMs of (JOVDUcrr By ProfpMop Dick Olklna SIMPLY WbMM wrong tieru?
