How Saloons Help Business.
There is a good harbor at Bremer
ton, Washington, on Puget Sound.
The government established a navy
yard at that place. The town coun
cil granted licenses wholesale to sa
loons along Front Street, the main
street leading to the navy yard.
Gambling hauses also flourished.
This soon had a demoralizing effect
upon the sailors, and the Secretary
of the Navy requested the city auth
orities to remove these places of
temptation This was not done, and
the yard was transfered to a more
healthful location The government
did not wish to have its sailors in
fluenced by such surroundings. Mass
meetings were held and protests
made by the citiz.ens, but the navy
department refused to alter, its d -ciston,
and thus Bremerton lost
business in six month. amounting to
a quarter ot a million dollars.

The ESvenlng Express, of Portland,

to say in this ounectioii that much
of the growth in matt-rial wealth

hte following extract
The people of this
boring under (he influence of sever
al fallacies in regard to the Parcels
Post question. Only one side has
ever been presented to the consum
ing public, owing to the fact that
the mall or -or publications are in
terested in getting the Iocal Parcels
Post bill through to build up the mall
order houses, as naturally the more
the farmers order by mail the more
the mail order interests feel Justi
fied in spending for advertising in
farm papers, and so the system grows
by what it feeds on.
The Idea has become prevalent,
that there is very little opposition to
the Parcels Post, and while to a cer
tain extent that is a fact, neverthe
less, there are more than a million
and a half mercantile concerns in
this country that are opposed to it.
The bill that Is now before Con
gress asks for a Local Rural Parcels
Post system. That is, the Govern
ment is being asked to transport
packages of about eleven pounds in
weight along the rural routes, but
this package must start . if Uncle
Sam is going to carry it. at the local
rural free delivery central station;
which, in short, is asking a subsidy
to help the retail mail order houses
of the country develop at the ex
pense or the small towns.
The census returns indicate that
(he large towns are increasing In
population while the small towns of
the country are barely holding their
own or decreasing, so that il is evi
dent that the drift of population is
toward the large cities. Population
always follows trade. Too much
centralization, either In government
or in cities, is a bad thing. Village
life and (he citizenship developed by
i( constitute the only hope for the
perpetuity of the free institutions of
this country. The most grave and
serious dangers that now menace
our future, result from the over
growth of (lie large Cities and the
consequent degeneration of the as
erage citizenship of the nation. In
the place of the plain people, w hose
country environment has made them
stable, steady-headed, sell-reliant
and independent in thought and char
aiter. we would have the volatile
city multitude a floating population
anchored to nothing, owning no real
satate or property, and blown about
by every breeze of popular prejudice
or passion ready for any rush ex
perinient, social or political.
If the Local Rural Parcels Post
bill wire passed ihe advantages to
the farmer would only be temporary,
because this bill would give a ino
nopoty of the trade to the one oi
two great retail mail order h Oil eel
that are equipped to handle it, and
it would not be long before Ibis mail
order trust had its hand at the con
Burner's throat, choking greater pro
fit from him, without any cornpen
