9osomaster General Burleson would
NOT AaW 0he slightest objection to
having orace question raised concern
Ing his action in segregating the white

Office department SO far as 1t affected
aim personals Perhaps he would not
care % Nave the administration in
volved in a race issue such as Is i'm
piled In the resolution introduced by
Congressman Rogers OF Massachusetts,
calling for the facts regarding the seq
regation. It is doubtful whether con-
gress will pass the resolution. Con-
gress and che country are chiefly in
terested In good postal service. and II
the segregation Of the races does not
interfere with good mail service the
people will not care
Acted oAoa Defo& :.
When Burleson was a member df the
committee on appropriations Of the
house he worked into an appropria tion
bill provision which had the effect
OF segregating races or az least tax
ing women from the suEnrvision Of
colored chhf Of division 1t was sub
jecy to point Of order. and Burleson
learned that one northern Republican
intended to raise It. He went to see
the member and in cold, measured
words said:
Il 90 not threaten any man, but you
will have to take che consequences II
you interfere where the Republican
membership OF the committee has
agreed to this legislation"
The point Of order was not raiseN
WAst About Other MsdQ
Minority Leader Mann told che house

member of the house for sixteen years.

house when the bill passed: he had
read the explanation oYth measure b
Congressman Hula its author, and yet
did not understand 1t. How ere the

Aevsr Has Doubts.
- have begun to have doubts wheth-
er anything is being lefe Of state lines, =
remarked Congressman Lever Of South
Carolina. who 10 chairman OF the agri-
cultural committee. He cAmo here
as pronounced ; state rights man A.
South Carolina could produce, but he
has found situation which showed
that unless some Of the old ideas were
modified it would be impossible for the
federal government to do much for the
people.
Lever Is anxious to have roads I'm
proved by the federal government, and
be sees little opportunity to do - II
the old southern idea Of state rights
are to prevail IF we are going to do
anything for the agricultural uplfft, =
remarked Lever. 1T should be in the
direction Of making II possible to get
to and from the farms In the easiest
way possible
Cutting on "psrqs."
There was time when newspaper
man could run his paper and hold
down a postof1ce job on the side. BY
recent regulations no man h allowed to
hold good paying postofhce and have
any other business. Gradually they
are making It impossible for 1 news
paper man to secure any ..perQuisites.
Quite q number have been appointed
to foreign jobs. but they mean great
er expenditure than the salary.
