A few weeks ago we ali were busy
wondering why our Postmaster Gen
eral was so eager and hot in op-
posing prohibition before a commit
tee of the United States Senators
who were looking toward an in
creased output and greater eff
cheney in our ship yards. Indeed. we
could but wonder what business it
was Of the Postmaster General any
way. His department is in such a
vretchedly bad condition that one
would naturally think that he would
need to spend all OF his time in his
office straining the harness to i'm
prove the mail service OF the CoUn-
try and better conditions in our
army mail service over the big
water. He was the only man before
the committee who used language
that was, to say the least. in bad
taste. He spoke OF the prohibition
lists as fanatics. and declared that
we had no time to fool with them, or
words TO that effect. He displayed
great heat and zeal in defending
the brewers.
Now we have the key to the sit
uation and all is clear. In The
Washington Herald Of August IL
this news item appears: The
Postmaster General and Mrs. Burle-
son are occupying for the month OF
August the Commodious bungalow
Of Col. ana Mrs. Robert Grain. de-
lghtfully situated at Morgantown,

That old saying that birds O q,

Little is known of yesterdays re-

Losers. however. must accept the

to perform their most important
tasks. And the winners of today

tion. II they do not do their work
so II merits the full approval Of
the country.
So let us all, winners and losers
and those who voted for them, be
up and doing with a heart for the
new work. and the mammoth task
in which we are about to enter.
A defeat of Germany and a splen-
did victory for democracy is APP

and those returns mean more.
after all. than any returns here

much to the front and little to the
back.

ments OF yesterday should rest in

Where freedom lives though freemen die.

One hope, one promise, one desire,
And in our hands one silver blade
Flaming with an immortal fire.

Upon our holy battlefield
