quickly reverse gears and retreat
from the immediate proximity OF his
intended victim. The editor who has
the nerve to print things az they are
generally has a reserve supply of the
same stuff sufficient to drive away
the fear of physical injury. Even in
rare instances, where successfully ac-
complished, the administering of cor

employs a threat to lick the editor, is

to congress for ON such legislation.
Eminent physicians throughout the
country will be asked to testify as to
the unwholesomeness of veal as food,
and their testimony will be submitted
to congress when the crusade is
launched. Argentina it is pointed out,
has a law which prohibits the killing
of a male beef animal until it is three
years old, and a female until it has
reached six years. Leaders in the
movement contend that the slaughter
of calves in the United States has not
only raised the price of meats, but is
threatening it's standing as a meat
producing country.
There is a growing feeling that the
work in the interior department is be-
ing conducted in such a way that the
great reclamation interests of the west
which have so long suffered, will Sc
cure aid from the government that
will bring relief to settlers who are de-
pendent upon the plans which the
government announced years ago..
1t will be remembered that on Feb
ruary 2Sth, exactly four days before
he went out of office, Postmaster Gen.
eral Frank N. Hitchcock issued an
order that all mail wagons, automo-
reduced through the enactment of a
law prohibiting the slaughtering Of
biles and other vehicles in the depart
ment should be painted bright red.
Recently the new postmaster general
rescinded this order and now the paint
men with their brushes are daubing
the wagons with a dark green hue.
This is only n minor instance of the
differences in the way Postmaster
General Burleson has of viewing
things in variance with the ways Of his
predecessor. There are real differ
ences, however, in the methods of the
two generals Of this apartment. For
instance General Burleson disputes
the claim of General Hitchcock that
the postofice department has been
placed upon a paying basis. General
Hitchcock, fresh from the remote
parts Of the southwest, resented the
so-called attack of his successor, and
declared that General Burleson and
his new appointees would not have
questioned his great work in the post
office department, had they been in
service long enough to know what
they were talking about. The per-
sonal pride in the department exhibit
ed by General Hitchcock is indeed
p~ardonable, as no man could remain
for four years at the head of the great
est business institution of the world,
without becoming attached to the SER
vice. Unquestionably though, there is
plenty of sympathy throughout the
country in the expressed determin-
