THE HENDERSON GOLD LiEAF THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1906. Attempted Revival In Parcels Post Scheme. ' ,iv liorn Journal. The project for the establishment of a Parcels Post in tips country, w a-sain beitiff revived, with the attend ant 80 alled bem-fits which would tfo with it PKtnhlishrrieJit. There ih -r. .1 nrcHerit r-ost of expreHS matter carried by the Express Companies, and what it mitrht b with a Govern ment I'arcel-t Post. The Chicago Drs (Jood-i Reporter is the authority for the statement that a Parcels Post law has been pre pared,proposing that the government carry up to eleven pounds packages anywhere in the I'nited States for twenty-five cents. The present ex press charge is of course vastly great er than this. The suggestion that the govern ment go into the express business, under the guise of Parcels Post, naturally diverts public attention from the real promoters of the schema namely the great dry goods houf !!!! Vr r-i,!r JiMJm IM till ? T, ..iiir-, , i.-j ul 1 -i; 'i n :l " LlKr consumers in every part of the coun try whatever they might want at prices which could not be met by the retail dealers in the smaller cities, towns and in the country, and which would eventually lead to the elimina tion of all dealers except those in the big cities. The argument that the express companies are making a big per cent, on the present system, is not an argu ment favoring governmeut confis cation of their business, which a Par cels Post would mean. If the express companies charge in excess of the rightsof thfpublie thpy can be check ed hy the law as public carriers, but lft not the people be deceived into believing that the government needs the revenue, and so favor, a Parcels Post. It is the big department stores in the great cities of the North that seek tho establishment of a Parcels Post, and these would be the real beneficiaries under the establishment of n govern men t Parcels Post sys tem. Fool Talk on Both Sides. NtateHville Landmark. There are those who say the Dem ocratic adminstration is to blame for the homicides that have occurred in North Carolina. How ridiculous the charge is may be seen when it is remembered that possibly half of the creatures who have committed mur der hardly know whether a Demo cratic or a Republican adminstration is in the saddle. What does Bohannon know about State politics? What do the murderers of the Lyerlysknow of it? That an effort is made to show a connection between murders and the fact that the Democrats are running the State simply shows how short of real argument the foes of the Democractic party are. Greensboro liccord. This is correct, of course, but when we were trying to redeem the State from the fusionists in 1898 and 1900 Democratic speakers and newspapers charged that the prevalence of crime in the State was due to the fusion government, the criminal classes believing that they had friends at court, so to speak. The argument was a plausible one and was honest ly made by many people. But now, when there is an unusual preva lence of crime, Republican writers are paying us back in our own coin by turning the tables on us. This is the truth and we had just as well ad mit it.
