UNFIT TO HANDLE THEM

It Is said that Postmaster General
Burieson will be the Director Uen'
: eral OF the telegraph and telephone
lines. II they are taken over by the
government. That prospect. in II
self. should make the Senate hesitate
In agreeing to the haSty action OF the
House. It is something Burleson has
been scheming for some time past
In his testimony before the House
COMMITTEE on Interstate Commerce
the Postmaster General advocated
the taking over OF the telegraph
lines BY the government and Is
! quoted as giving as one reason that
'the' telegraph service is breaking
down as evidenced BY the sending OF
important messages. including those
q, the government, by train meSsen-
GER
This statement forces 10 public at
tentiou the question as to what y Is
that has really broken down. Il Is
asserted that telegraph company
received government messages in the
evening in New York for tranSmi~'
sion to Washington and IN Washing
ton for transmission 20 New York.
and instead OF sending these mes
sases by wire. sent them by mcsSen'
ger on train leaving about midnIsh;
and reaching the destination early
the next morning. when the messages
were delivered as though they hau
been transmitted by wire. ApPaT-
emily this was done so efficiently
that the government officials thought
the messages went BY wire. There
was, therefore. no apparent breaking
down in service. though the govern
ment was paying telegraph tolls when
it should have been paving postage.
Or nothing at all.
II the telegraph company could
take those messages and transmit
them by train. why couldn't the pos
tai service do the sameo Why was
the government sending by private
: wire messages which could hays
been. or should have been. transmit
ted just as quickly and effectively BY
it's own public postal service: Why
was the government further burden
ing a telegraph system already con-
{: gested, Mr. Burleson'S statement IL
in effect an admission that the postal
service has broken down. What tn.
postal service needs is manager
who will offer government service
that will successfully compete with
parallel service conducted by private
enterprise. And think what this man
would do to the telegraph and tele-
phone systems if he got hold of them

RESPECT FOR THE FLAG

Every once in awhile We read
complaints in The press Of other
communities about the failure OF by
ISLANDERS to take Of their hats when
the nag passes by in parade. Il is
not the universal practice. wc are
sorry to say. in Wheeling. but most.
il not all the offenders are innocent
Of intentional disrespect 10 Old
Glory" Observance OF this means
Of showing respect for Inc national
emblem is very largely matrer Of
local custom. In some communities
the people have become accustomed.
through tactful leadership. TO an
cover when the Star SpanGied Ban
ner'' is being played. or when tn"
flag is passing in parade. In other
communities no such custom has
been established. To fail TO uncover,
under the latter circumstances. is no
indication OF lack Of patriotism or re-
spect for the flag. II is no more nor
less than a failure TO recognize the
lifting OF the hat as neceSSar! eX-
preston OF patriotic feeling. In
some communities it is the almost
universal practice OF uren 70 take off
their hats when in the same elevator
with a woman. while in o:har com.
munities no such practic" prevails.
In the latter case the failure to re-
move the hat could NOT b. any means
be construed TO be an indication OF
lack OF respect for womanhood.
The practice Of uncovering and
standing at attention during the play.
ing Of the national anthem or during
the passing OF the flag in parade is
one that should be encouraged by
every proper means. 1t is practice
wary generally taught in the schools.

managers OF theatres. The tendency
of general observance OF the custom

mans real patriotism can be meas
ured by his outward manifestations.

BUREAUCRACY RUN AMUCK

No one is cavilinE over the leGlti-
mate expenses this war entails. but
many are wondering over some of the
reckless expenditures tn" admlnistra-
ton is indulging in. With it's original
estimate multiplied by ten The L. S.
Employment Bureau receives $780,
239 in the Sundry Civil Appropriation
bill, and an agency has been created
whose utility for war purposes is
Questionable. but whose political po'
tentialities are enormous. Thus is
another example given to the public
that politics is adjourned"
The Senate amended the purpose OF
the appropriation TO aid in The stan
darnization of all wages paid by the
Government Of the United States and
its agencies" with a provision that
no money now or. hereafter appro.
priated for the payment OF wages now
fixed by statute shall b. available 10
nav wages in excess of the standard
agreed upon by the War Labor Pol
icies Board. So. with the War Labor
Board. the commissioners on labor
mediation and Cancellation. and the
Wor Labor Policies Board on the job,
the only discoverable function for the
U. s. Employment Service, by which
it could account for its expenditure OF
1880, 900, would be 10 follow up the
action OF the War Labor Policies
Board in standardiZing wages by
traipsins over the country 10 see II
the boards decisions were being
properly carried out. And to do this
the Employment Service has pro-
vded for 9S directors 4, $500 each
annually: 49, directors al $4,000; 2oV
travelling examiners al $1,000: 3.03l
clerks al from $1.e2O 10 $l,IQ0: 500
jantorS. and So messenger boys.
This is bureaucracy gon" amuck, and
vet with method in its madness II
these trareled-paid nlinlons should
keep their fingers on the political
pulse of labor. pet,ing and coaxing
the refractory. and keeping Washing
ton informed by means Of L political
espionage without parallel since the
adoption Of the Bill of Rights.
This is ono example, and many are
occurring under this Administration.
If any legislator cries out against II III
Congress he is accused Of seeking TO
hinder the war program. and so well
have the goats been mixed with tn"
sheep that to hold up one item en-
tails the halting Of all the rest. Some
day the people Of this country will
awake TO what is going on. That will
be about the time We are scraping the
barrel. Little more can be said than
that such instances are cumulative
evidence of the necessity Of running
even a war for existence on Il bus
mess basis.
