The note sets aside as irrelevant all
the contentious OF the German reply,

Milwaukee journal.

Postmaster General Burleson is Civ
ing the American people some facts in
very clear terms about the oft-repeated
charge that the railroads are being
cheated in the transportation of par
eel post matter Mr. BurIeson says;
although the railroads contend that
they are undorpaid FOR carrying the
mails, the facts are that they are over
paid. and that they are receiving from
the government amounts which for
hauls Of any considerable length, eX-
coed by about two &c one the amounts
they receive from express companies
for like and similar service.
And Mr.. Burleson backs up his words
with the figures:
Upon the two principal mail routes
from New York to Chicago, over
which is carried the largest daily
weight of mail transported anywhere
in the world by rail- aggregating about
3l9 tons daily railway mail pay
amounts 20 S. So per 100 pounds. while
the railroads proportion of the first
class express rate between those
cites is approximately $1.20 per 100
pounds.
No man does a greater service in the
interest Of the public and Of business
than shedding light. The American
people are not disposed to treat the
railroads unjustly Why should they
be? Their prosperity is interlnked
with that Of their industries. But
they do like TO know that they are be-
ing treated fairly in turn. Mr.. Bur
Lesson puts his point clearly; he gives
his figures to back it up. If an an

PATRIOTISM.
OK Gov Hoard

A multitude of definitions have been
given to this great controlling senti-
ment, II has been placed on the very
pinnacle Of honor and renown, the
salvation of governments and of ma
tons. To the other extreme it has
been characterized az "the last resort
of scoundrels" who would evoke it for
the sake of robbing the people of their
Liberties and their substance
Patriotism is the very center and
heart of inspiration. made evident by
all nations in that symbol 'The flag
of our country And yet there is
something extremely confusing about
it. How can it be so diverse in pur-
pose, so contradictory of what is cen
trally right and just as between ma
tons? How can its fires be lighted
on opposing battle fields and still the
light thus shed be true and honest
enc?
We are forced to admit that the
final meaning of patriotism in most
cases when aroused by war is com
posed of but two emotions; love Of
our own side, and hatred of the OPP
posing side. 1t is impossible to justi-
fly patriotism by devotion. The ''last
full measure of devotion" the sacri-
fee of life is given just as cheerfuly
on one side as the other. Nothing is
proved by that Is there not then a
broader, better meaning to patriotism
than willingness to die with a musket
in hand? That definition is satisfied in
these few words, "a noble life is more
patriotic than q heroic death. But
the noble life is lived in the main, in
deeds of silent goodness, in unheralded
sacrifice tor the welfare Of others. 1t
lacks the dramatic quality of death
and does not appeal to the passions Of
men. Oft-times it is "unwept, un-
honored, and unsung, with no eye but
that OF Gods to measure its beauty.
it, goodness. its greatness. How lame
and impotept are the records Of history
in such revealment. They deal princi-
pally with war and strife. The heroes
and heroines Of years Of sacrifcial
living are not found there. And yet
who can deny that a noble life is just
as patriotic AS q heroic death? This
broader and more benehcient patriotism
is seen all about us. 1t is truly the
SAVING power Of human society.
