Parcels Post An Accomplished
Fact.
"The Man Who Did It,"
Hon. Louis Philippe Pelletier, B. A.,
LL D., was born at Trois PIatolee,
Quebec, in 1857. He studied law at
Laval Uaivereity, graduating in 188J.
winning the Marquis of Lorne gold
medal. Called to the bar the awe
year, he began practice in Quebec,
where he has ever since practiced. He
was a member of the Legislative
Assembly in 1891 and up to the year
1004.
H was elected to the House of
Commons for Quebec Ooun' y in the
}t general election of 1011. He was
sworn of the Privy C runcd and ap-
pointed Postmaster -General on Oct.
107h, 1011,
Parcels Post was simply inaugurat-
ed this week, and the new system is
now an accomplished fret Tir ^' it •s

i. ,
is . l.o.. n ;;v the way s it alreadyi. t:
used to ship farm produce. It has
ready brought the producer and con-
sumer. closet. together.
This was one of the aims Hon. L. P.
Pelletier had in view in launching the
system, and particular care ie being
shown by the postal authorities in
handling farm produce. The regula-
tions, which have been healed, to the
postma..ters of C tnada, and the public.
contain particular directions for the
handling of pr• tinetaof the farm.
On the gra-,tion of shipping eggs
there are the following instructions :-
"As the safe transit of eggs is a
matter of setae difficulty, shippers are
advised to adopt the following method
of paacktn1 : Use a wooden, papier
utarhe, or other box of rigid material
with a well fitting, tightly adjusted lid,
wrap each egg separately in newspaper
oe other protecting material, place the
eggs on end and fill up the vacant
spaces in the bpx with newspaper or
other packing material, so as to pre-
vent the eggs from striking together
or against the sides, top or bottoms of
the box ; mark the parcel eggs."
The establishment of Parcels Post is
one of the'great, if not the greatest
accomplishments of the Borden Gov-
ernment. It is a big forward, progres-
sive move, which is an epoch in advanc-
ed legislation in Canada. As for Mr.
Pelletier, the father of the systetr,
who baa been working unceasingly on
the project for the past year, ha will
go down in Canadianbietory as one of
Canada's greatest refornrere..
The launching of the system was
without ostentation or trumpet -blow-
ing. That is Mr. Pelletier's way of
doing big things: The Postmaster -
General has .already made free rural
mail a real and practical service, and
not merely an election cry ; he has re-
duced cable rates, he has raised the
pay of postal carriers throughout Can-
ada, and now, as a crowning achieve-
ment, he has established Parcels Post.
The new system is very simple, and
there bas been none of the confusion
over rates which marked r he inangura
tion of Parcels Post in the United
States. There is first a local zone rate,
with five cents for the first pound and
one cent for each additional pound or
fraction thereof up to four pounds,
'and two cents for each su'•oequent
pound up to eleven pound.
SCHEDULE OF It VT ES

FiveFivepounds 10.oey

And in the same ratio up to eleven

For the first three months the limit
of weight which will be received is six'
pounds, and then eleven, so that the
eyttern will not he awemped at fleet
This WAS the name plan which was fol•
lowed in the U. 8, This local rate, it
is expiated, will give the harmer a de -
awed advantage in marketing eggs
and other perishahle goods, and will
also give the )oral merchant an ad-
vantage over the city departmental
stores..
The second rate is for the province
in which the article is posted. Tbe,
firerr pnund is ten cents, and for each
additional pound four cents The cost
of handling a one -pound article h the
same as for a tw,, or three -pound
article, SO that it was f .end necessary
to fix a minimum rate for the first
pound considerably higher than the
average rate the additional pounds in.
eluded in the weight of tr, parcel.
For an adjacent province the mint:
mum rate of ten cents applies, hut for
each additional pound there will be an
extra charge of six cent". Beyond the
province. adjoining the one in which a
parcel is trailed, an additional two
cents a pound will be imposed for eeeh
additional province that has to be
crossed to the destination of the par.
oel up to a maximum charge of twelve
Bente per pound.

but the power of the interests. opposed
to the scheme were always euflielent
to prevent the Liberate ever making
any rnnve in Ow direction, It seas
not until Hon, L. P, Peletier stemma

The Brea test difficulty Mr. Pelletier had
to meet versa the problem of eonapeiisa-
tion to the railways. For years the rails
ways have claimed they were not be.
ing properly remunerated for carrying
the mail They have been getting ap-
proximately two million dollars; they
as ;ed for four million more, and a
epee's) ngrHrineut for parcels post,
Af ,-r long negotiations, Mr. Palietier
stewed a great triumph when he made
a new atrangemenc, whereby the rail-
-.vava, will get under 8800,000 addition-
al for the carrying of both the mails
and Parcel Post.
All About Ourselves.

...sly in last Autumn,
41 ... „ asters were in bloom,
i �• i1•; It School Beard of Wingham
Opetu•d another room.
Tiler) said our thrifty aldermen,
"Some things are very nice,
We like these fancy flxinte,
But haven't got the price.
These High School mutts are spend-
thrifts,
We'll check them up a bit,
A 'Board of Education -
Will surely make a hit."
Just how the scheme was boosted,
I altnpst have forgotten,
But think 'twas moved by Mills and
Boyce,
And carried by George Spotton.
Then there was .wrath and tumult,
With wigs upon the green, •
When members of two School Boards
Confronted the machine..
Said they, "Shall we be driven
Like oxen from r he stall ?
Swatted without compunction,
Like flees upon rhe wall?
Turned tan like thriftless tenants,
Who will not pay their rent?
Beheaded like spring chickens, ,.
Without one own consent?
Nor on your latest tin type !
Though Spotton is some spry,
We'll bust bis combination,
Or know the reason why.
They waited ori .the alderm• n,
Who gave their kind regards,
And said, "We'll think it over,
But -we hold the winning cards."
TOP School Boards took'a tumble,
Received the gentle jolt, .
For, from the firer, the council
Had got the underholt,
When Irwin met Buchanan
They took a drink of -milk,
And formed a plan of campaign,
A scheme as fine as silk.
Said they, "the man we're after,
Will novbe in the race,
He doesn't do theru`nning,
Although he sets the pace ;
But thet b'd another fellow.
The second in the -game,
EIe wants to fill the mayor's chair,
- Iia is the chap, to tame.
li Irwin for a leader -
We'll get the Scott Act vote ;
With 13111 and Fred to help tie,
Poor Mills will be the goat."
And so the tteals. started
In contest fast and keen,
And when he votes were counted,
Doc, won by seventeen.
We now thought we were settled,
SVu h 0 .until fully manned,
And Ilea d of Etucation,
The finr•.t in the land ;
U .111 gen ,l lawyer Morton
Ger started on the job,
And, nulling down a law book,
Ptnrerded to raise hob.
Said he, "there's an amendment,
That all of you have missed,
•Tia plain as Esperanto,
Or botany, or whist,
No council has the power
To grapple by the throat,
And strangle any school board,
Without the people'e vote.
And more than that, Dot'. Irwin
Is not a Iegal mayor,
Because he hadn't horse sense
To leave the trustee's chair.
The men who made this. miX up
Deserve no word of praise,
And, if a chance is offered,
I'll give them thirty days.
We must begin all over,
And be more wisely led,
Or matters will be tied up
As tight as Barney's bleed."
These are the truthful reasons
The only anew ; why we
Had been :,ince New Years' morning
Most hopelessly at sea
Uutil last Monday evening,
Most pleased we are to tell,
The good ship came to port again
With everybody well.
So let us get together,
Forget our little scrap,
And make the town of Wingham,
The finest on the map.

tion," text Geneeis, 4.19, "What hast
thou done?'' A large congregation
gathered in the evening when the Ser•

from the subject, "The unpatdonabie

expressed their desire to live 'Christian
lives,
Sitting on the Stile.
(Sir Wilfrid Laurier has deolared he
ie in favour of lowering the Tariff in
order that the people might share in
the surplus of fifty millions.)
I'm sitting on the stile, Borden,
Where I spent many an hour,
Before the days of ninety-six,,
And blessed reign of power;
It's just the same old stile, Borden,
(So useful in a pinch)
The dear old fashioned tariff stile,
I budded, inch by inch. '
Do you remember ninety-three ?
(Ah no, before your time)
When we declared for trade, all free,
(Then I wag in my prime)
Right in the fight through thick and
thin
My Cobden medal shone,
(But just as soon as we got in
We kept the duties on.)
I gloried in a seeplus then
For years I kept it up,
let the trusts and middlemen
Drink front the tarriff cup ;
"The People" seldom crossed my mind,
(I'm sorry forthat now,)
They never had a chance to find
Or milk my fiscal cow.
So I'm sitting on the stile, Borden,
I'm sure you'll understand,
I'm in a quandary again,
I don't know where to land;
But now of power and prestige shorn,
I'll raise my voice on high,
A Oohdenite, Sirs, I was born,
A Oobdenite I'll die.
