Hitchcock,s Crime.

Even granting Postmaster General
BurIeson's charges against former
Postmaster General Hitchcock, the
present postmaster general fails to
show that Mr.. Hitchcock did not wipe
out defscit in the department of ap-
proximately $17,500,0OO. Mr.. Burle-
sons only contention about this actual
achievement appears to be that the
saving was a comparatively small
sum under $17,50O,Oo0 instead of a
little over that round sum. When it
gets down to such bubbles as that it
is evident that the Hitchcock record
is giving the Democrats deep pain.
The pain must be particularly Sc
we're, too, in view of the fact that the
Democrats are now facing big de-
felt In the department, which has be-
come so demoralized since they took
charge that Congress has had to come
to its rescue with special appropria-
lions. If Hitchcock and other de-
partmental officials juggled figures as
much as is now charged, it seems
funny that it was not detected until
after Democratic administration had
begun to realize that the department
was being legislated and directed to
smash. Who knows but what the fig
ures are now being juggled In an
effort to Offset some of the Democratic
maladministration?

Some personsln authority in the mar
tional postofice department has re-
covered his senses, or has unwound
a lot of red tape somewhere, and has
ordered that red be abandoned as a
color of mail boxes. AS fire alarm
and other safety devices are usually
painted red, the question naturally
arises, Why did anybody want to paint
the letter boxes red?

said that as you read an invf-

monty imputed to them.
Another friend considered a small turtle
who shared the hospitality of her glass
globe one of the most valued members of her
family Still another mad a little lizard or
chameleon which lived in her bedroom cur
tains. and which she credited with much
understanding. In fact. have known sew
eral friends who kept lizards or salamsn-
ders as pets and found them cleanly and
agreeable If not remarkable for mental de-
velopmentl
But canarles are easily first when It
comes to household companions who do
not suffer from confinement and give no
trouble beyond the care taken in looking
after them. Born and raised in cages, with
long pedigree behind them of ancestors
with the same history, they know nothing
of the free outdoors. and would perish if
they were given liberty to rove as they
please They have an intelligence beyond
that of the fish or the lizard, they learn to
know and love their owners, they may be
taught a number OF accomplishments, and
have various pretty little tricks of their own
which make them interesting even to the
casual observer and much more so to those
who love them and study them.

Lesson for Child.

The possession of pet OF any sort 10
waste of energy unless utilized as a means
OF leading a child to recognize that certain
duties devolve upon him for which he. and
he alone, is answerable. If your child is
old enough to take care of the bird make
1t his peculiar care. Let him feel that the
bird depends upon its master for food, for
water for cleanliness and accustom him
to bestowing all these upon 1t with the same
regularity which marks his own meals and
bath.
IL he doesn't care enough for the bird to
take the trouble to give 1t Its food and its
bath and to clean its cage he is not mt 10
have a pet and would neglect any he might
own. He should not be permitted to shift
Tho charge OF 1t to some one else. but be
made to recognize that every gift or priVi-
lege brings a duty with It.
This Is a lesson more easily taught when
n bird Is In question than when one is con-
cerned with a. dog or cat which can pick
nm it's living for itself. Give your child the
hird or the goldfish now and persuade him
of the cruelty of combining dog or cat

limited range of the roof or the city streets.
IL we begin to impiant this faith in the
children there is a chance that future
generation may develop enough common
sense to keep most pets where they belong

where they need not live wholly artificial
and unwholesome life.
