For United States Senator— 
Hon. Curtis Guild. 
The retirement of Senator Crane 
from the United States Senate to 
take effect in 1913 came as a sur- 
prise to the citizens of Massachu- 
setts. The papers containing the 
announcement of the senator’s re- 
tirement also contained the an- 
nouncement that the mayor of Bos- 
ton was a candidate. The serious 
question is before the people of the 
Commonwealth to decide as to who 
shall sueceed Senator Crane. Various 
eandidates have been suggested, but 
who is the man of the ability, of 
scholarly attainments, with the good 
will ef the people and the native 
ability to organize and maintain 
the campaign that will co-ordinate 
‘‘eliques, factions and parties’’ in 
the Repubhean party? 
One man looms above all others 
and that man is ex-Governor Curtis 
Guild, United States ambassador to 
tussia. The dignity with which he 
receives the call stands out in 
marked contrast to the aspirations 
of the mayor of Boston. 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
As governor, Curtis Guild advo- 
eated and secured many _ effective 
bills. He secured laws preventing 
campaign contributions from cor- 
porations, a law making it possible 
for farmers and wage-earners to 
serve on unpaid commissions, laws 
enforcing medical inspection § of 
schools and factories, a statute pre- 
venting the tampering with juries, 
a statute adopting the eight-hour 
system, a statute prohibiting night 
work for women and minors, a stat- 
ute restricting money lenders from 
securing unlimited jassignments of 
wages, a statute providing free em- 
ployment bureaus and other valu- 
able legislation which expresses his 
broad interests, humane judgement 
and political power. 
Since 1883 Mr. Guild rendered 
able service to the Republican par- 
ty, seeking office only when nomin- 
ated for Lieutenant-Governor in 
1902 without a contest and without 
a campaign. He served as Lieuten- 
ant-Governor three years and as 
Governor three years. In 1905 the 
Democratic plurality for Governor 
of 36,000 was changed to a Republi- 
can plurality of 22,000,—a change 
of 58,000 votes. 
Governor Guild has always stood 
for a just revision of the tariff; he 
has always been interested in the 
restriction of child labor; he has 
fought hard for national forest re- 
serves; he has always stood for 
elean polities. Every wind that 
blows reveals clearly that Guild is 
the man of the hour. 
Curtis Guild in the minds of thou- 
sands of Massachusetts citizens is 
the ideal man for the United States 
Senate.

The Parcels Post 
It is possible that during the pres- 
ent session of Congress a parcels 
post will be provided for throughout 
the United States and its posses- 
sions except in the Philippine Is- 
lands. Every effort is now being 
made to pass the Bourne Bill. The 
public has been clamoring for a 
generation for a parcels post and 
for the relief which it may bring 
the outlaying districts and this con- 
venience is now all but assured. 
The cities are not interested in the 
project for the facilities of trade 
are at their doors. Powerful  in- 
fluences have been brought to bear 
in opposition to the bill from the 
organized express companies and 
their allied interests, for the succes- 
sive passage of the bill would of. 
necessity cause a diminution of their 
carrying traffic in small packages 
and present a serious competitor 
even for the larger packages. For 
the trade will follow the lines of 
least resistance and the present ten- 
dency to bulk all packages in one 
large piece for transportation will 
be followed by a new policy of mak- 
ing small packages and using the 
mail in preference to the express. 
The new bill if passed will 
render great service to the public 
providing an efficient economy to 
every line of trade using the small 
package. There are, however, many 
problems besides that of adjusting 
a schedule of parcels post, for the 
question of equitable charges pre- 
sents a serious problem, requir- 
ing time-eating calculations. In ad- 
dition to the varied intricacies of 
the schedule is the possible in- 
justice that may result by the en- 
actment of the bill, throwing an un- 
expected burden upon the post of- 
fices of the country. In many cases 
the offices are insufficiently manned 
to successfully cope with the added 
burdens that must result from a 
small express business being added 
to the regular mail service. In oth- 
er cases burdens will be thrown up- 
on under-paid and _ possibly over- 
worked office help. 
To present a parcels post to the 
country inchoate and immature in 
its details would result in wide- 
spread injustices and react against 
the efficiency and desirability of the 
new arrangements. Post Master 
Tlitcheock is committed to the bill 
and when it is presented in as scien- 
tific a form as eare, fore-thought 
and justice as the human mind can 
formulate, it will be altogether de- 
sirable and will be welcomed by all. 
But this most desirable legislation 
ought not to be obtained until care- 
ful provision has been made against 
wide-spread injustice to the present 
postoffice equipment. The success- 
ful inauguration of such a_ policy
