Postmaster General Burleson and
the Parcel Post Service.

AS reported from Washington,
concerted opposition has arisen IN
Congress to Postmaster General
Burleson's order in reducing the
parcel post rates and increasing the
size of the parcels to be handled in
the service.
This opposition is not surprising
and is suggested seemingly through
the same all-powerful influence
which fortunately failed in their in
tent to defeat the parcel post ser
vice system which is being enjoyed
by all classes Of the people.
So great and satisfactory has been
the success of the parcel post SER
vice, beyond the most sanguine OF
anticipations, that Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson is encouraged in in
.creasing the parcel post facilities in
which would be embraced larger
size packages than are now carried
by post, of which the express COM
panies have a monopoly.
If Postmaster General Burleson
can increase the parcel post service
facilities, as programmed by him.
he will confer a service on the peo-
pie of inestimable value, and there
fore it becomes the duty of every
citizen to advise their representa-
tives in Congress to not thwart but
to stand unflinchingly in their ap-
proval of the betterment Of the
parcel post service, which is being
fully appreciated throughout tho
United States.

to law because she did not decline
the money rendered her. Gould any
proposition be more ridiculous?
This prosecution smacks Of the
Puritanical period when a man dare
not kiss his wife or court his sweet
heart on Sunday, and when women
were burned at the stake Or ducked
in pond or river, for no other rea-
son than that they failed to sub
scribe strictly to the sternest edIcts
of their times.
1t is no, the purpose OF the Cau-
Caslan to discuss Christian Science.
but if cures are possible through
this medium Of prayer, instead OF
blue mass and castor oil, or sugar
pills, or plain water, or massage or
any mode of treatment, the practl-
cal sensible man should certainly
not object to prayer which is the
great source of comfort and hope to
mortals in tribulation.
To say the least, this prosecution
of Mrs. Henson, a woman Of culture
and refinement, for no other reason
that that she is Christian Scientist
and effects cures through prayers,
is not only reflection of discredit
on the State of Texas, but is no less
barbarism because it is sanctioned
under the guise of law. -
The prosecution based it's action
on whether the treatment, by pray
er for physical or mental disorder
required a license, as the State ass
serted, or whether it was funda-7
mental part Of the Christian Science
faith as claimed by. the defense" On
being called to trial, Mrs. Henson
was acquitted.

And In the Land Of the Free and
the Brave
There has been announced from
Canyon City, Texas, the arrest OF
Mrs. v. Edna Henson, Christian
Science reader, who is charged with
practicing medicine without a
license.
The charge is remarkable and ex-
traordinary in that Mrs. Henson adj
ministers no medicine. but her
treatment is effected through
prayer.
The principal witness for the
prosecution, W. H. Lehman, has adj
mitted that his brother has been
cured Of paralysis by Mrs. Henson
without the use Of drugs or any
physical treatment, but her Offend
ing is that she has accepted five dol
lars per week which he offered her.
From this statement the logical
conclusion is that she is amenable

w. c. LANING GUILTY.
He Is Convicted on One Charge OF
EmbeZZlement..

y
rendered verdict which is sur
prising to many Of the citizens OF
Shreveport who had anticipated al
acqulttal or mlstrlal.
The jury,s verdict is that Lanlns
is guilty as to his embezzIenent OF
$500 he obtained from Mrs. Lena
Whitman of Leesville, and justlt1-
able on the charge of. as alleged, OF
embezzlement of check for Si,0lo
drawn by Frank Maricelli of Camp
ii, and one for $500 drawn by w. L.
Taylor Of Arcadia.
In many of its features this case
is remarkable and in some instances
past understanding.
AS president Of the Pelican Fire
Insurance Company Lanlng exer-
cised full and complete control in
the management Of the affairs OF
the company. 1t was developed dur
ing the trial that lie had used the
money Of thee company indiscrlmi-
nately, but on the presumed author
ity that whatever were his short
comings he was free to act as he
deemed best and his accountlngs
would be squared from the prem
iums and commissions that were
to be placed to his credit.
In the case of Mrs. Whitman it
was evidenced that he had failed to
account for the money obtained. 1t
was a clear case of embezzlement,
from which he could not be extri-
Gated. In the other cases, which are
strong in similarity if not as direct
in proof, the jury viewed Laning as
innocent, Or probably not sufficient
ly proven, or apparently as a COM
promise,
AS stated the verdict Of guilty IS
surprising, at least to the citizens
who were heard in their discussion
of the case to declare that Laning
should not be convicted because the
directory of the company had been
more or less negligent of their duty
in not supervising more directly
and strictly the affairs of the COM
pany as related Ito the actions OF
Laning. "
It is unfortunately from this view
misguided and inconsistent with the
principles Of law and justice, that
many criminals secure their escape
from justice. As a fact the COM
pany and its directors had placed
implicit confidence in Laning, their
president, and relied on his pre-
sumed integrity. He had manifested
great interest in the affairs Of the
company, was an active and sue
cessful solicitor. This trust was mis-
placed as was the reliance Of 9TH
ers in his honesty.
The case should be as warning
in the future to those having 1eme
means for profitable investment,Tbut
this wanring, as others, may have
been forgotten when some individual
of prepossessing appearance, OF
genial manner, glib of tongue, will
persuade the susceptible to take
stock or to subscribe their hard
earned Saving into some geNrlch
scheme.
If full statement Of the many
innocent victims, women, among
them wage earners, who have been
victimized by sWindlers, was giver
publicity, it would be startling IN
deed. Therefore, whenever a SWIM
dler is entrapped he should be held
to the fullest Of account regardless
of hair-splitting teehnicalities.
In this case the State was repre-
sented by District Attorney Mabry
assisted by Attorneys Davis and ]
M. Foster. Laning was ably defend
ed by Attorney =. G. Butler. The
case is to be appealed to the Su-
preme Court Of the State.
