BURLESON'S THREE STRIKE

THE Democratic party seems to
have enough capacity to run the Post
Office Department. Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson has deposited check
for S5,2OO,OO0 with Secretary McAdoo,
being the profits of the fiscal year
Of 1916"
Sounds like Democratic campaign
orator. doesn't it?
But it isn't; it is the Philadelphia
Public Ledger, paper that is sup
porting Hughes, telling its host of
readers about merely one of the deeds
of the Wilson Administration.
Continues the Ledger:
"The Secretary of the Treasury re-
plies that his department has expert
enced the sensation of receiving a pos
tai surplus only three times, and
those three times have been under
the Administration of President
Wilson and MIR. BurIeson But we have
no hope that this will satisfy MIR.
Hughes. He will tell the next audi
ence he gets hold Of that the service
Is not nearly so good as it used to be
when Postmaster Generals were Re-
pubicans and there was a deficit every
year the amount being something over
$4,000 0O."

RALSTON URGES FREE PORT

Before the South Baltimore
Business Mems Association Tues
day night Jackson Fl. Ralston,
Democratic candidate for Con-
gress from the Fifth Congress
ional District, discussed a Free
Port of Baltimore. - He defined
a free port as including a restric-
ted area of land and water where
merchant vessels could load and
unload and cargoes stored, hand
led, packed, repacked and expor-
ted without being first entered
in the Custom-house.
Such ports, he said, existed and
had tremendously develop e d
commerce in Copenhagen, Ham
burg, Bremen, Singapore, and
Hongkong, and, in a modified
degree, in Trieste and Fiume,
and he pointed out that with Bal
timore made free port much of
the commerce now to be created
by the Panama Canal with Gen.
trail and South America could be
brought to US. Here products
of the Southern countries could
be landed, cargoes broken and
transhipped to Europe and
Africa. Oh the OF er hand,
ships now coming from Europe
in ballast or lightly loaded pur-
posing to obtain return cargoes
for Europe could bring cargoes
for reshipment to South America.
Bonded warehouses would still
continue to be useful, he said,
but they did not and could not
do the work of a free port. In
the latter no declaration of val
ues was required and no Custom
house inspection made until an
actual entry beyond the lines of

needs no additional storage ca

He is the one man who can talk
Intentionally for several hours

By profession he is Ia yer,

the brains for one of the biggest

this pursuit he is busy showing
some judge that labor is not a
commodity or can't be injuncted,
and he impresses the soundness
of his arguments with a vocabu-

syllables which cause the hearing
to come to an abrupt ending and
more time asked for by the court
in order to digest what has al
ready been enunciated, after
which the court generally con-

II Sounds Too Much Like u Hair Tonic.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SvN-Sh: It
Is k.nd iud.cd OF Belvidere Mac
lutyrc Of Muskokd. Canada. TO suggest
that the United states of America change
It's name To "~Unis,atia.' When Wash
iug;on. Hamilton, Franklin. Adams and
the other fathers planned the United
States Of America the naming business
was an entire novelty. Previously al.
the naming for our hemisphere was
done on the other side Of the Atlantic.
But they did the best they could accord
ing independence some time later. called
their nation the United States of Brazil.
The MeAicans. gaining their indepen-
dence still later. called their nation the
United Mexican States.
No other nation on this hemisphere
used the name America, because there
were older names which appealed to
them. We do not for a minute assume
that a citizen OF the Dominion of Canada
prefers to he called an American rather
than 4 Canadian. Much less do We as
sumo that the inventor of "rnistatia"
Is d~ispleased with being called a Mus
kokan." Between the two namrN Amerl-
can and Muskokan there is no cholcr.
but Muskokan has a more distinctive
perfume. IL We are TO change the name
of our country We must have a name
like Muskokan as "A driving power.
'Unistatia" Is what all the BARRIERS use.

NEW VOTE.
The Primary Ballotlng Gives the
Democrats No Comfort.

Results of the New Jersey primaries
last week. officially announced by the
Secretary of State, caused dependency
among the Democrats. They show
that 1S7.414 votes were cast at the
Republican primaries as against 49,
513 at the Democratic primaries. The
Democrats, 1t is plain. with only one
registry day remaining. are far behind
the Republicans.
Tho anvas reveals the fact that
the primary votes for the three Re-
publican candidates for Governor were
1891 In excess of the vote by which
Governor Fielder was elected in 1919
and only $50 less than President Will
sons vote in 1912.
On the Republican side ?,7S5 voters
failed to express a choice for Cow
ernor while 23,906 Democrats failed
to vote for Naval officer II. Otto Witt
penn. the Democratic G~ubernatorial
candidate. Taking the total Republic
can vote instead of the vote for Cow
M as a basis. the returns show
that the Republicans polled 1926
more votes than Governor Fielder re-
ceived and 9.S75 more than President
Wilson's vote.
The primary vote for the Republican
candidates for Governor was Sc, 706
less than the combined Taft and Roose-
welt vote in 1912 and 1891 less than
the combined vote Of Stokes and Colby.
Republican and Progressive candidates
for Governor. in 1913. On the other
hand the Wittpenn vote was 13S.63S
less than the Taft-Roosevelt vote and
S5.S23 less than the Stokes-Colby
vote. Taking the total Democratic
vote instead OF the Wittpcnn vote as
II basis it appears that the party
polled $685. fewer votes than Gov
ernor Fielder received in 1918 and
5s.I16 less than the Wilson vote in
1912.
Assuming. as appears TO be the case,
that a large percentage Of the Pro-
gressives will go to Mr.. Hughes. II is
difficult for Democrats to figure from
the returns where sufficient votes can
be mustered in November to overcome
the falling Off in the Democratic vote
indicated by the primaries. even al
lowing that the Democratic strength
was not reflected in tho primaries To
the same extent as the Republican
strength. The Republicans had more
contests OF statewide interest and
hence a greater incentive to 60 to the
polls than the Democrats had.
On the other hand the fact that the
Republicans polled at the primaries In
some counties a higher vote than
they have ever polled at a general
election Is accepted ~ indicative of
n Republican drift, ~hich is borne out
by the apathy Of the Democrats as
shown by their diminished vote. An.
alysis Of the official returns has gone
a long way toward supporting the
predictions hat the election in New
Jersey Will be "A Republican sweep.

A PLEA FOR THE JANITOR.

teacher complains that YOU dared "a
make a comparison OF the high and
mighty teacher with the lowly and hum
bic %janitor. She says Teaching is a
be classed as nothing more than I'M
skilled labor &c.
Does the teacher stop to think that
the janitor Is human" IL he classed In
human!ty's record or Is he To be placed
among the animals? The jani,or serves
many more hours than the teacher and
In work sometimes that IL more nerve
racking. Does the teacher ever stop to
consider the fact that the safety Of the
occupants Of a school building depends
more upon the %janitor than 1t does on
the teacher?
Does the teacher ever stop to think
that her work depends directly upon
tho work OF the 1anitor? Does the
teacher. who in nearly every case has
only herself dependent upon her efforts.
ever stop to think that the janitor In
nine cases out of ten has a family de-
pendent Dol him?
Does the teacher ever stop TO think
that the janitor in a great many cases
has a more direct influence upon the
pupil than the teacher? II comparisons
are TO be made 1t would appear to an
outsider that the %janitor Is surely moro
entitled to a pension than the teacher
ever dared to be.
