THE SrIRrr OF SEW JAPAN.
Th* Eusso-Japanese war is abun-

chivalrous instincts of men, notwith-
standing the ferocity with which the
combatants assail each other in the
open field. In every war some men
exhibit brutal and inhuman tenden-
cies, but that is more of an individual
fault than otherwise. So far, both
Russian and Japanese soldiers have
exhibited great courage in battle and
humanity in the treatment of prison-
ers who have fallen into each other's
hands. What excesses we have been
told about were committed by the
Russians, but no doubt the Russian
officers have punished soldiers guilty
of brutal treatment is helpless prison-
ers of war.
The kindness, courtesy and self-
containment of the Japanese have at-
tracted the attention of the world.

Muskogee, I. T., May 15.—(Special)—
The inian agent has received an opla-
isn relative to the construction that
must be placed on the words in the
Indian aj proprialton bill "unrestricted
alienation of land of all citizens of the
five tribes not of Indian blood.” The at-
torney general holds that the words of
the law are too plain for construction
and that they mean just what they say
and not that this legislation shall apply
to all who are on the freedmen roll of
the Dawes commission, as Judge Ittle,
father of the bill, advised was the in-
tent of congress.
The opinion states that the removal
of restrictions applies to alienation only
and does not affect homesteads and
neither does it affect leases and that
aa alienation" is taken to mean a sale.
The restrictions are not removed from
minors Who are not of Indian blood.
The question that has been bothering
lawyers and land buyers is how to de-
termine legally who has and who has
mot Indian blood. It was the accepted
theory that those who obtained their
land by virtu* of being a freedman and
were on the freedmen rolls would be
considered not of Indian blood, but the

The sentence of the fifteen prominent
business men of Holdenville, who were
sent to the Fort Smith jail for 144 day s
on a charge of selling liquor, will ex-
pire within a few days and the citizens
of the town are preparing to celebrate
in honor of their -homecoming. The
reception to be given them when they
return will in a measure remove the
sting of disgrace felt by the men who
had occupied a position in good society
and were highly respected in their
town. Anvils will be fired, the band
will be out and the entire population
of the town will be at the depot to
meet the returning citizens and it will
be the most unusual spectacle ever seen
in Indian Territory when the town
turn* out to welcome men returning
from a prison cell.
PARCELS POST.
The parcels post bills failed in the
last congress, and that so-called "re-
form” is a long way off. Careful in-
vestigation convinces The Record that
the American postal service is not
prepared for this innovation. if, in-
deed, it will ever be ready in the wis-
dom and fitness of things.
In the first place, tt is a question-
able stretch of the governmental func-
tion.
The establishment of a postal de-
partment in the meaning *f the con-
stitution never contemplated the hand-
ling of freight and express. "Mail”
certainly does not mean merchandise.
It is.not a sound argument to say that
small parcels are now carried by mail
and that the proposed parcels post
is only* an expansion of the present
e sytesm. for the system is already ex-
panded beyond the original contem-
plation. If it is allowable to transport
packages of 11 pounds, it is allowable
to transport packages of 22 or 44 or
•8 or 2,000 pounds. Size is not meas-
ured in avoirdupois. On the contrary,
the expansion of the postal system,
as advocated under the parcels pro-
posal, is simply and logically the con-
version of the postal department into
* a freight carrier, and that ultimately
must expand into government absorp-
tion of the whole carrying business.
But the parcels post is objectionable
for more concrete reasons, viz., it's
expense to the government and the
inevitable injury to local commerce.
What is proposed by bills before the
late congress is that the limit of
weight on packages of merchandise
carried through the mails be raised
from four pounds, as at present, to
eleven pounds or more, and the rate
of postage on such packages fixed
at 6 cents for the first pound and 2
cents for each additional pound, in-
stead of 18 cents per pound, the pres-
ent rate. Under this proposed sched-
ul, eleven pounds would cost 28 cents
from ewYork to San Francisco or
Manila, while the four-pound pack-
age. the present maximum, now costs
5 4 cents.
At the rate now paid to the railways
for handling mails, transportation
costs the government 7.9 cents a
pound. Therefore, unless the con-
tract rate is greatly reduced the loss
to the government would be more than
5 cents a pound—a discrepancy so
startling as to reveal the utter im-
possibility of the scheme or to sug-
gest that the parcels would have to
be carried at commodity freight rates
and consequently on commodity
freight schedules, and this, of coarse,
is to eliminate dispatch und reduce
the whole affair to a government reg-
ulation of freight rates, which is an-
other story.
The effect upon local commerce
would be tremendously injurious. A
parcels post would tend to concen-
trate the retail trade of the country
into the great mail order houses of
the cities. Perhaps that is not a con-
sideration which should weigh against
the general welfare. But at least it
should be considered as to its effect
upon the general welfare. The pres-
ent tendency to the commercial ab-
sorption and concentration is alarm-
ing enough without this encourage-
ment. A mail-order-house trust
would be the ultimate result beyond
doubt. Certainly it is not to the gen-
eral interest to invite so stupendous
a monopoly.
