to their regular salaries on account
of the excessive cost Of even a
modest living. the postofflce depart
ment is apparently endeavoring to
force out the men who have grown
old in the service and to reduce in
stead of increasing the compensation
of the men who remain. IA
And this is being done by govern
mental department which Is not con-
Quoted as prcft-gathering concern,
but for the good of the people.
Salaries OF mail clerks are being re-
duced and the men subjected to long
and expensive transfers from one
part OF the country to another in the
process Of reorganization on bust
ness basis" which the department
has undertaken. Slowly at first, but
with increasing rapidity. one after
another orders have followed until
under recent rules the clerk who
declines or objects to the order re
ducing his pay or changing his resi-
dence at enormous expense for NOV
ing his household, lays himself liable
to Inconvenience which can hardly
have other effect than to force him
out of the service.
There is neither right nor justice
in this procedure. Not a. few OF
these men have given the best years
of their lives to earnest and .conscien-
tious effort In the mail servioe; AMI
their thanks In these, their later
years. is to be made pawns in politi-
cal game by men whose tenure OF
Office is dependent upon the time
their administration" holds the reins
OF government.
And there is another feature: The
reduction of force in the railway
xiail, with incidental increase of work
on the men remaining; the change
which reduces the working force on
mail cars and takes mail off the
trains to be worked in terminals and
dispatched on later trains instead of
supplying crews sufficient to dis
tribute the mail while 1t Is in transit,
is hurting the efficiency of the SER
vice. 1t is reacting to the disadvan-
tage of every patron Of the mail SER
vice, and there is no competing cor
poratiOn to which to turn for relief,
for the government has monopoly
IF this service
The postoffice administration may,
and probably will, be able after it has
finished its Reorganization" scheme
to show surplus instead OF a deficit
in the annual audit sheet. But 1t will
be small surplus and gained at ex-
|uense of decreased efficiency in the
service and rankest injustice to the
men who do the work.

ToDAY,s BIT OF VERSE
THE UNKNOWN WAY.

THE UNKNOWN WAY.
burning sky is Ger me,
The sands beneath me glow,
AS onward. onward YEARLY,
In the sultry noon go.
From the dusty path there opens
Eastward, unknown way;
Above its wndings, pleasantly
The woodland branches play.
syery brook comes stealing
From the shadow of it's trees,
Where slender herbs of the forest stoop
Before the entering breeze.
Along those pleasant windings
would my journey lay,
Where the shade is cool and the dew of night
Is not yet dried away.
Path of the flowery woodland:
q Oh, whittier dost thou lead,
Wandering by grassy orchards
Or by the open mead?
Goest thou by nesting cottage?
Goest thou by stately hall
Where the broad elm droops leafy dome.
And woodbines flaunt on the wall?
BY sleeps where children gather
q. Flowers of the yet fresh year?
BY lonely walks where lovers stray
Till the tender stars appear?
Or haply dost thou linger
On barren plains and bare.
Or Chamber the bald mountainsde
- Into the thinner air?
Where they who journey upward
Walk in weary track,
And oft upon the shady vale
81 With longing eyes look back?
/ hear solemn murmur,
And listening to the sound.
know the voice of the mighty sea,
Beating its pebbly bound
Dost thou, path of the woodland
End where those waters roar,
Like human life, on trackless beach,
With boundless sea before?

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Sioux City Journal: 1here IS a
time for all things-including fill
clustering. Senator Kenyon made
perhaps the biggest hit Of his public
career when he helped to filibuster
some $25, O0O. 900 worth of pork out OF
a rivers and harbors bill. That was
a well timed filibuster.
Burlington Hawk-Eye: After see.
ing three robins sporting about ones
yard and then coming down town
and seeing train from the north pull
in three hours late and topped with
snow and ice, his opinion about the
coming of spring must wabble some
what.
Cedar Rapids Gazette: The col
umns devoted to interviews with
Cummins and Kenyon do not alter
the situation one iota. 1t makes no
difference il the Iowans sat In the
senate mum as the mummest oysters
as the filibuster proceeded-they sat
on the wrong side OF the fence ana

minute of the session, knowing full
well just what their sitting there

In this regard.

BRING HOME OUR FIGHTING MEN.

One of the greatest military assets OF the
United States-greater than the million men"
who would .'spring to arms over night" la
BRYAN, greater than all the shell factories in
Christendom-is in Europe. We must get 1t
and bring it home
That great asset is the American brain and
Drawn fighting today in the armies OF Europe.
Every element in warfare as practced prior
to 1914 is old-fashioned now-strategy tactics,
weapons, all are on the scrap heap.
The new aviation is science beyond Arneri-
can knowledge and practice We have neither
the machines nor the men to tackle it.
The new artillery relegates our scanty ord
nance to the junk pile of the mound builders
The new infantry-the trench fighting, the
concentration plans, the dr1ll-makes our army
a group of innocent Elizabethan knights.
And how to make good-how to give the
American spirit a chance to wear the new ac-
coutrements of war; Bring back our fighting
men from Europe and let them teach us. They
have what we can't get from hundred West
IPoints-they have practical training In such
war as never was fought, never was dreamed
before.
In the armies of England, France and Italy
there are thousands of Americans (some place
the estimate as high as fifty thousand) trained
lin the newest tactics and skilled with the new
est weapons of warfare. They could be the
strongest force in building and leading an
American fighting machine We need them by
the thousands, and we cannot depend upon the
thin stream of them that would trlckle back
home for orr war-we must ask for their re-
lease from Europe's armies.
Bring back our fighting men from Europe
and let them teach us.
A movement is on in Chicago to establish
community Fairgrounds for children in the
back wards which are to be thrown together
for the purpose Just now the major effort is
being put upon raising money for equipment OF
the playground spaces with play machinery.
It would be interesting to try the experiment
of giving a normal group of children play
space and allowing them to devise their own
play equipment. An older generation asked
only time and space to enable it to play to It's
hearts content; there was initiative enough and
to spare in the devising of means and methods
of play In some ways aur superintendent is
growing over-anxious. In greater measure
than we think the helplessness OF our young
people in finding intelligent amusement with
out excessive expense is due to lack OF oppor-
tunity and training in good, old-fashioned, IN
structive play.

cry Loan Proves Conspiracy
NOn-Existant,

ST. LOUIS, oct. 26.-Champ Clark,
speaker of the house of representa-
tives, today withdrew his charge that
''ring of New York men" had been
hampering the sale of the bonds of
the second Liberty loan In order to
force higher rate OF interest on the
next issue Of bonds.
when made that statement" said
the speaker. "the papers were full of
stories telling of the fact that the sal ,
OF Liberty bonds was tagging all over
the country.
'When the first Liberty bonds were
issued some fellows in New York tried
tc beat the price down below par IN
view Of that fact | said q ring of New
York men were hampering TIE sale OF
the second loan bonds.
However, In view of what New
York has done i'm the sale of the bonds
in the last three days / withdraw my
criticism
The speaker said his charge as
quoted in the newspapers, was sub
stantially correct. He was not sure
whether he said "a ring OF New York
men" or ring Of New York finan-
cicrs' were hamperlng the sale OF
bonds.
Mr.. Clark said he had not received
the telegram reported to have been
sent by Chairman Strong Of the fed
eral reserve board Of New York asking
II he had been correctly reported.
which was forerunner of demand
that he prove the charge.

RElCHSTAG LEADERS STILL

Socialists Most Dctcrmincd; Kaiser
Rcbuffs All Attempts to
Force Removal.

COPENHAGEN. Oct. 26.-The lead
ers of the majority parties in the

erations, according to Berlin advices
and are reasserting unanimity of be-
lief that Chancellor Michaelis must
go. but are feeling decidedly helpless
i'm the face of the rebuffs administered
by Emperor william to representa-
tons in regard to action on various
proposals.
One of the suggestions was that the
president of the reichstag be requested
to convoke the ways and means com
mittee for parliamentary consldera-
ton of the political situation. 1t is
doubtful, however. in view of the dis
inclination of at least two of the ma
jority parties to infringe I'm any way
upon the prerogative OF the crown in
appointing ministers whether any de-
cisive action is to be expected, either
from the conference or the committee
IL II were summoned.
The only party which apparently has
no doubt what should be done is The
Socialist, which has announced flat
footedly that It's policy is war II the
chancellor remains. Those who are
advising the emperor to disregard the
wishes Of the reichstag and retain the
chancellor for the time being are
perhaps counting on this, believing
that with the Socialists voting TO re-
fuse war credits. II may be possible
to break up the present majority and
form another embracing the non-So-
cialist parties. with the watchword:
THE first duty Is defense of the
fatherland." establishing working re-
lations between chancellor and such
a coalition.
