PROTECT THE COUNT3T STOSE.
HE Department of Agriculture is taking a
paternal interest in the prosperity of the
farmer. It is teaching him to have better
crops , better machinery and better build
ings. Xow comes Postmaster , General Yon
Meyer with an intimation that the Post
Oflice Department also wants to take a pa
ternal Interest in the fanners. It wants to give rural
residents the parcels post. "This , " according to Mr. Yon
Meyer in a Philadelphia speech , "will be a great boon
to the farmers on the rural routes , because when they
are able to order their goods by telephone or postal card
it will relieve them of the inconvenience of going to town
to obtain the nece.ssaries of life. ' '
The Postmaster General admits that country store-
keer rs strongjy object to this form of benevolence to
the farmers. But'"he say's he will quiet their objections
by giving farmers a lower parcels post rate on their local
delivery routes than from the outside. Does Mr. Yon
Meyer imagine that even th- concession will protect
country stores from the aggressive city mail order
houses ?
The fatal flaw in Mr. Yon Meyer's reasoning , as
quoted above , is the supposition that the farmer needs
to be pampered until his conditions of living are as arti
ficial as those of the average city resident. lie is to have
the trolley car at his door , the telephone in his house ,
his daily mail delivery , which will include all hi.s gro
ceries and store supplies. Xeither the farmer , nor his
wife , nor his children , .ire to feel the need of "going to
town. " One may well doubt whether the average rural
resident jipprcciatvS or needs quite so much attention on
the government's part.
The country storekeeper needs as much protection as
the farmer. The farmer should be encouraged to deal in
the nearest town or village. The parcels post is an enemy
to this rural community li'e. ; It will increase the arti
ficial markets in the cities and curtail the natural home

BASEBALL.
T'RING the past summer baseball has gained
renewed credit The two great professional
leagues played clean baseball , and just as
they were closing an interesting series one
of the most distinguished of American
schoolmasters made a vigorous defense of
the gamp. That baseball needed defense of
course shows that it is not above reproach. Professional
baseball has to answer for rowdyism on the field and In
the spectators' seats , for Sunday games , and for the
creation of nn amazing dialect , of which the slang meta
phors have invaded American speech. Perhaps also em
ployers charge it with mendacious excuses for absence
from afternoon labors. Baseball as engaged In by schools
and colleges must bear Its share of blame for the of
fenses against sanity and good breeding , from which In
tercollegiate sports suffer.
But the game Is essentially wholesome. Its open
nature plainly teats the skill of the player , and reveals
rather than hides breaches of rule. No baseball manager
can fool the "bleachers. " The professional game can
still be watched with pleasure by decent persons who
enjoy athletic dexterity. Although as an amateur sport
it shares certain disgraces which mar college athletics ,
its rules need not be tinkered in order to prevent violence
lence and discourtesy.
One reason that baseball has remained comparatively
good is that it belongs to the nation. Every male Ameri
can over five and a half knows the game , and it is diffi
cult for the few to play tricks with what Is understood
and liked by the many. Youth's Companion.

bility of standing still. Rivalry among ourselves should
not obscure the fact that this improvement is one means
of keeping for ourselves the trade within our "sphere"
which otherwise is offered for competition to Europe

it has a fair case for asking the development of its river-

Out from the beach , at East Seventy-

The momentary inability of the di

the weight of $50,000 in gold coin was
an ajnusing incident at the closing of
the Ford bribery trial recently , says a
San Francisco dispatch to the Kansas
City Times. Fragile Loach , recently
promoted from the superintendence of
the San Francisco branch mint to the
directorship of the mint in Washing

Moore , who asked :
"Mr. Loach , what would be the
wcifrht of $50,000 In gold coin. "
"About ninety potmds , " ' was tha
prompt answer.
The attorneys on both sides smiled.
"Are you quite sure of that ? " Moore
persisted.
"Well , " said the mint director , fish
ing out his eyeglasses , pencil and a bit
of paper , "that was a quick mental cal
culation. I can tell to you exactly In
a moment , " and he fell to figuring.
"Yes , that's right , about ninety
pounds. "

"Why , said Moore ,
fied in the former trial of General Ford
that it would be from 1GO to 175
pounds. I wonder why this difference
of opinion ? "
"Well , " answered Mr. Leach , "you
see a $5,000 sack of gold weighs a
fraction over eighteen pounds , so $50-
000 would weight approximately - "
"One hundred and eighty pounds , "
prompted Francis J. Heuoy with one
of his famous grins.
"Xo , " corrected the expert , "approx
imately ninety pounds. "
"But , " said Moore , " $50,000 is ten
times $5,000 and ten times eighteen
pounds is ISO pounds. Is it not so ? "

his face and he gave in.

the best exhibit in four weeks , and there
is also a gratifying decline in ro.umi'relal

year so near , it is not to be expected that
improvement in new demands will develop
to any notable extent , but the conditions
are more encouraging , and it is clear that
the process of readjustment in finances

Liquidation is yet in evidence in various
