The Parcels Post Exhibit
One of the many interesting exhibits at the state
f;ur was the parcels post display, showing how' arti
cles for shipment by post should be pacKed, and
what kind of articles, of what bulk, weight and
character may be shipped. The exhibit will no
doubt result in the increased use of the parcels post
in this state. But the mere use of it, the mere in
crease of the volume of its business at the loss of
otiier carrying concerns, will do nobody any good.
The government's profits would not be increased, but
in many cases they would be diminished.
If, however, as a result of the exhibit, new bus
iness is developed, new markets are opened and
more producers and consumers are brought together,
good service will have been rendered by the exhibit.
We must bear in mind, though, that the parcels
post system is very far from being complete, and
that however democratic orators and newspapers
may refer to it as a party achievement, there is
much to be done before there is an equal distribu
tion of its benefits. Its operation is yet rather
crude.
It was reported the other day that a rural car
rier in Southern California, presumably with the
collusion of a postmaster, had been engaged, without
l-.T.T, ....V, . . .... , .... ....... .
a vioiauun oi wie taw or toe regulations, in cany
ins packages of bricks back and forth, making
money, at it. The Republican some time ago related
the story of the shipment ly parcels post in fifty
pound bags, of several thousand pounds of barley
from Mesa to an interior point in Navajo county,
the charges of the rural carrier, out of Holbrook,
amounting to something like 50 cents a hundred. It
turned out that he was a dealer in barley, which he
thus had delivered to his store at a ridiculously low
rate, and that the government's pay for its deliv
ery from Holbrook left him a handsome profit on
the transportation after the payment of the "post
age." Here the government was a loser and the
currier was enabled to establish a monopoly in his
community.
Tariff Revision by War '
"There can be no hope of tariff revision before
1!'1G," says an exchange, "for until that time the
democrats will be in control of congress." If that
is all, the country need not worry. As things have
turned out, there is now no need of tariff revision,
ar:d there will probably le no need before 1916, of
any. The European war has taken the place of the
protection which tbe democratic tariff legislation
removed.
It operates as a cheek on foreign importations
and prevents articles of foreign manufacture from
flooding our markets. The effect of the war on for
eign trade is shown very clearly in the case of Aus
tria. Statistics lately published place the exports
of that country for September at $12,200,000, hardly
one-fourth of the total for September of last year.
Exports from Germany have decreased at a still
more startling rate. '
Though the war might terminate in a year or
in six months, it would take the countries engaged
in it a year or more to resume a stage of produc
tion which would be a menacing competition to thd
producers of this country.
If the war could have been foreseen, there would
have been no urgent need of replacing the Payne
Aldrich law, bad as it was, for the war is doing for
the consumers of this country what that old law
was doing. There would have been no need of
upending months framing the Underwood law which
the war practically renders inoperative.
The democratic party has been the chief sufferer
from that law. It was left in operation Just long
enough to prove that it would not accomplish the
chief thing that the democratic party claimed it
would accomplish that It would reduce the cost of
living; it remained in operation just long enough to
prove that it could accomplish those things which
its opponents claimed it would accomplish the ruin
of certain local industries. The war then intervened
to prevent or delay the actual ruin pf. those indus
tries by the suspension of the law's operation. This
suspension may continue until opportunity comes
to repeal the law.
.: The only damage done by the Underwod law
was psychological. It halted the business of the
country long enough to cause a stagnation, and a
stagnation is the frequent cause of a depression.
The war came while the country was thus Buffering
from an improper circulation, and we vere not in a
condition, at once, to- throw off the effect of it.
For the moment, or' for fi, year or two. It is
immaterial whether the tariff is revised or not. We
are freed from the effect of the present tariff and
we are recovering from the effect of the war.
They are thinking in New York of extending the
term of governor from two to four years. The
Rochester Democrat-Chronicle offers a reasonable
objection that four years is too long a term for a
bad governor, while a good governor can always be,
re-elected after a term of two years. If the ex
tension should apply to all elective offices, we would
favor it, and we speak feelingly on this subject, less
than two weeks after our own campaign. But if
there are still to be biennial elections, mere could
be no good reason w(iy a governor should not be
elected every two years. "
If the German stories of the repulsing of the
allies, and the French stories of the repulsing f the
Germans are all true, the armies of both must be
in a state of constant recoil from the shocks.
In time we will know what happened to the
constitutional amendments and- the initiated and the
referred bills. There is a great day coming when
all things shall be made known when the earth,
the sea and the election returns shall be forced to
yield their secrets.
Reports from the east say business is rapidly
reviving. We are glad that the railroads have been
shortening the distance and annihilating time be
tween the Atlantic and the Pacific coasts.
With the campaign and the state fair in the
lap of history, we have "nothing to do till tomor
row" until the meeting ' of the American Mining
Congress and the legislature in January.
Thanksgiving day is only two weeks away.
Russia must hurry if it seetireB its Turkey.
AMERICA AND WORLD'S NEW MAP
.(Everybody's Magazine) .
America's opportunity to do a real world service
does not lie in the direction of ascertaining who
started the war or who is responsible fur it, or
whether one side has committed more atrocities than
the other side. Nor does America's opportunity lie
in the direction of securing most for herself out of
the misfortunes of her sister nations. America's
opportunity o do a real world service lies in the
direction of a clear-headed understanding of what
tnis terrible war in Europe means to all the world,
and clear-headed, disinterested, even generous, sug
gestions to her sister nations as to the right time
to talk peace and the right way to settle all dif
ficulties for the best interests of all the world.
It Is too much to expect cool, clear thinking
from men engaged in a (jitter life-and-death strug
gle. America must furnish the cool, clear thinking
in these terrible times.
Not only lor the best interests of the nations
involved,' but for her own as well, America must
definitely muke up" her mind as to the proper
method for a nation to keep herself prepared against
attack, without nursing the war spirit and without
bankrupting herself. This is not the end of arma
ment probably, nor more's the pity, it is likely to
be the end of war.
What plan can America suggest to her sister
nations for solving this problem?
How can such a situation be avoided fur the
future? ,
When a new map of Europe is made, what
should Europe do about Holland and Belgium and
Servia and Greece and the rest? America should
be ready with some cool, clear-headed suggestions
which, by their very common sense, must appeal to
the nations concerned. ' - .
Every great nation has its contribution to make
to the sum of human life. We need them all: the
. nation that makes its contribution to the arts, the
nation that makes its contribution to abstract think
ing, the nation that makes its contribution to de
veloping the waste places of the earth. When any
nation shows a special genius, her sister nations
should give her opportunity to develop that genius
to the full, for their own sakes. And she in turn
should give each of them opportunity. There should
be more give and take and there should be less jeal
ousy. And, above all, the commercial spirit should
not be allowed to work more than eight hours a day
anywhere.
Alas! we cannot live without the commercial
spirit. We must do business. We. must make
money. We must provide for our daily bread and
a little cake all around. But we overdo it. Amer
ica is commercial, and England, and France, and
Germnny. Russia is waking up. Japan is very
much awake. Commercial rivalry has not reached
a climax. It will grow keener with the years.
When America, is helping Europe to make a
new map, what is the matter with making a new
world map, giving every nation the room it deserves
in which to grow, commercially, intellectually, artis
tically, but especially commercially? Considering all
the undeveloped country in the world, it does seem
rather brainless that every nation should not have
all the room It needs for development. Not all the
room it wants; it may want more than it could use.
Isn't it about time that the nation? of the world
sat down together and decided world problems in
stead of waiting until some one nation driven to
desperation or gorged with conceit,' as you choosp,
upsets the established order of thing.- the lyorld
round nnd leads us back into barbarism, whether
we will or no?
. America should be thinking these things out.
How far would we be willing to go in meeting
the other nations in a universal understanding?
How much would we be willing to give up if we
have more than our share? There's the rub. What
is that big government of the future which will
bring the biggest worth while life to all mankind?
Should we have a United States of North America
end a United States of South Americana United
States of Europe, a United States of Asia, a United
Rtates of Africa, or should we have a larger num
ber of smaller federated groups?
TO HIS GREAT CREDIT
Whatever we may think about Mr. Rockefeller
and the ways In which he acquired his immense
wealth, there are few persons who will not Indorse
the use which he is making of a part of it in send
ing generous succor to the Belgians. It is easy to
say that he is only doing what he ought to do and
that he ought really to do a great deal more both at
home and abroad.
That may be very true; but how. many of his
critics do even a part of what they should do?
What concerns us Just now is that Mr. Rockefeller
is doing the right thing for once, anyhow, in feed
ing the hungry vand clothing the naked. Nobody
need worry about whether It is a "grand-stand play"
for public effect or the result of genuine sympathy
and a recognition of personal obligation.
Mr. Rockefeller's motive probably is no more
mixed than those of the rest of us when we per
form a good action; his "tainted" dollars will carry
nothing but healing to his beneficiaries; and the
Standard Oil as an angel of mercy will not be less
efficacious than one with whiter wings. Baltimore

'MED HERS" GREAT
WAR FILM AT IAMARA
A message from European nations,
"Sealed Orders' is the sensational
film drma which Manager John
Harncoid of the Lamara theater
beautiful declares will electrify Phoe
nix It is a German film which has
the added fascination of ancient for
tresses, moals and historic locations.
It was brought from Germany to th
Pacific coast, where it was sold out
light'to a motion picture magnate.
It was on the water between hero
and Europe when the conflict with
which it deals was commenced.
The film is new and original. Ev
ery Intest invention known to war
fare is shown. All nationalities or
prejudice in the film are carefully
hidden. The press information and
photographs of the characters have
been lost on the high seas, -having
been shipped since hostilities were
opened.
The story deals wilh the stirring
events of a very few days In a land
testing under the shadow of im
pending war. A titled spy is engaged
in transmitting information to the
threatening power. He uses the me
dium of carrier pigeons a bird sym
bolic of peace. The story Is fast
and exciting. It is in 7000 feet of
thrills. It is replete with strong
emotion love, hate, avarice and
treachery with an unexpected de
nouement that ends happily with a
distressed family reunited, a nation
saved and a spy caught in a death
trap of his own making.

CLASSY SWINE ATTRACT
ATTENTION Of VISITORS
Although the pens in which the ho2
exhibit at the state fair are always
set away from the center of attraction,
still the farmers of the state who visit
the state fair are always anxious to
see the various breeds on display and
in consequence the path to the pens is
a w ell beaten one all week. There was
a splendid exhibit of hogs from various
parts of the valley at the fair last week
and when the judges had completed
their work, the unanimous opinion was
that the Salt River Valley can raise
superior swine. The list of the win
ners follows:
