Sneaking Around the Law.

The Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General has more than one way to
destroy the efficiency Of the rural
mail service, In the last Post Office
appropriation bill certain New Eng
land Senators succeeded in inserting
provision that the carrier who
serves by boat route about 80 miles
long on a large New Hampshire lake
should receive a salary Of 81, 800, an
amount which he had been getting
for many years until the present ad-
ministration almost cut it in half.
The rate of salary being fixed by law
it could not be reduced by the Fourth
Assistant, but that official now an
nounces that the route has been abol-
ished and that bids will be received
for serving the people on the lake
shore in some other way.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1917-06-15
Post Election Candor.

Here is another striking illustra-
ton Of the manner in which this adj
ministration has subordinated facts
to partisan advantage. After the
outbreak of the war our exports to
Germany and Austria were cut off,
but shipments to Norway, Sweden,
Denmark, and Holland were many
times multiplied. Our war orders
brought prosperity, and the Republi-
cans so claimed, with absolute ac-
curacy and truthfulness. The ad-
ministration's publicity agents, how
ever, denied that restoration of pros
perity was due to the war, and point
ed out the large exports to Uncut
raj" countries, including those men
toned. Now that we are ourselves
at war with Germany, administration
officials are willing to admit Chat pre-
cautions should be taken to prevent
supplies being sent to Germany
through the mediumship of those
neutral powers. The administration
has been willing to twist the facts
any way to suit its partisan advan-
tage. The people of the country
should hereafter, place more conf.
dence in information from Republi.
can leaders.
