THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER ?, 1918.
THE NEW SECOND ASSISTANT POST.
MASTER GENERAL.

Another Texan is honored with an i'm
portant appointment at Washington, and,
as in the other appointments of Texans I'M
der President Wilson, no mistake has been
made. Otto P-aeger has shown his big
calibre by accepting a position at a lower
salary than that which he already held.
He has undertaken one of the most diff
6cult and arduous of all the Jobs within
the gift of the postmaster general. The
railway mail service is so complex, and of
such vast Importance. as TO require the
very best quality of gray matter to con
duet il successfully. We believe that Otto
Praeger will be equal to this task. He not
only is a man of the keehest intelligence,
but also is endowed with superior judg-
ment and the all important quality of
endurance. He would not have undertaken
this work had he not felt equal to it, and
The Herald will wager its all that Otto will
not rest until he goes to the very bottom of
the system. Second Assistant Postmaster
General Praeger will make good.

many acres of land within The corporate

boosting. but it is certain congress will
not comply; in fact. it is none Of the
congress business what styles the WON

The philanthropie people of the United
States have spent no less than $37 900 900
in caring for the sufferers from the wal in
Europe, chief among the beneficiaries hav-
ing been the destitute Belgians. That is
a considerable sum of money, and might
have done many things of a beneficial ma
ture in our own country, but no one be-
grudges it to those unhappy victims of a
war that was not of their making. And it
is certainly better to spend it thus, than
to spend it in making war and desolation
