PARTY FAVORITISM IN THE
POSTAL SERVICE

Now that the partizan issue has
been raised by the president, there
is no longer any excuse for failing
to draw attention to the gross abus-
es of party power that have charac-
terized the present administration.
The exaltation of the deserving
democrat" did not stop when the
country was put on a war basis,
hut has continued undiminished to
the present day.
In no department of the govern
ment has the faint of the spoils sys-
tenn been more marked than in the
postal service, which under the di-
rection of that excellent politician
but mediocre administrator, A. 5.
Burleson, has suffered scandalous
decline in efficiency.
The Burleson system has been to
disregard civil srvice regulations
and the merit system" whenever 1t
was possible. in appointing all sorts
CT employees. from rural carriers to
high-class postmasters. The annual
report of the civil service commits
sioin for the year ended June 80,
1917, is full Of outspoken criticism
OF this state of affairs, and instan-
ces are given in great number &c
show that the political support OF
the democratic administration has
counted for more than merit in get
ting postal jobs.
Then the civil service commission
found many cases Of political actfv-
jty by postal employees. in direct
violation of the law. OF these the
most notorious was the case of the
postmaster at Salinas, Cal, who was
indicted by grand jury and fineG
5000 for having extorted campaign
fund contributions from postofict
workers. In spite of this conviction
this postmaster still holds his place
the postmaster general having re
fused to take action.
There have been some interesting
contrasts in the attitude of Mr.
Burlesons department towards charg
es of political activity. A rural car
rier in Texas. charged with having
taken part in a campaign was
reprimanded and warned. He wa.
a democrat. Carriers in Illinois and
Indiana. under similar charges were
sufhmarily dismissed from the ser
vice. They were republicans.
A reading of the civil service com
missions report. can leave no dpubi
that much of the deterioration o.
the mail service in the last year OIL
50 has been due to the progressive
decline in morale as a result of the
political favoritism that has now
come to permeate the whole de-
partment.- Review.

SERIES
OF CARD GAMES
IS COMMENCED
Large Number of Gard Players
Respond to Invitation of
Patriotic Ladies.

The new series of card games in
augurated by the Red Cross ladies
of Nenana in aid of the yarn fund,
was commenced yesterday and was
an unqualified success. The ladies
who had worked hard for some time
past to perfect the arrangements for
play being rewarded with a large
and appreciative attendance of card
players.
The gate receipts Melted s105.50,
and the sum of s2525 was added
as a result of the sale of refresh
ments.
Mrs. J. C. Kellum had charge of
the series and was ably assisted by
various committees, headed by Mes
danes ]. r. Bowen, R. G. Southworth,
T. Brake, NJ. ]. Cooney, James
LAWN; Misses Queenie Russell and
Jane Anderson and Messrs. Brake
and Pommeroy.
The games of Pan, Auction Bridge,
Solo and Hearts were in full blast,
several tables being 'evoted to each
of these classes of games, the popu-
larity of each class of game being
attested to by the number of its
votaries.
The ladies plan on running extra
Pan and Solo tables next Wednesday
evening, when the games will be re-
sumed, there will also be tables for
the game of five hundred.
That the games were popular on
the opening day was a self-evident
fact and it is hoped that even larger
crowds will attend the succeeding
games of the series and help the
Red Cross yarn fund.
The next game of the series will
be held at the Adams building or
A street on Wednesday, June 18th
followed by games on Monday, July
first and Wednesday, July tenth
when the series viii lbe concluded

across the Atlantic. If the Allies are
compelled to go to these countries 1t
will require an extra amount of ship
ping, which is needed for trans
portation of American soldiers and
supplies to England and France.
Russia's exports practically ceased
in 1914, and she is now reported as
somewhat short of sugar. Italy's crop
decreased last year, and her imports
have increased largel since the war
began. Italy's normal consumption,
however, is small and her deficit is
not serious.

SHORTAGE OF SUGAR

If any man has failed to see the
resan why he should cut his plenti-
full apportionment of two spoonfuls
of sugar to one of war time, he can
find it in a recent publication of the
Department of Agriculture explain
ing the worldwide shortage-espe-
cially the shortage among the allies
in the supply of sweets.
Not only has the supply of sugar
in some parts of the United States
been short, but there has been an
actual shortage of more than 2,000,-
tons annually in the world since the
war began, and the shortage is likely
to continue, the publication says,
primarily because of the destruction
of a large number of sugar mills
and the devastation of considerable
area of sugar-producing lands in
Europe.
Prior to the war practically all the
belligerent countries, with the ex-
ception of the United Kingdom and
Italy, exported sugar, the total J.
mount being upwards of 100000
tons. War, however, has changed
the ugar-production may and at the
same time has shifted the channels
of trade. In 1918 it is estimated
that the allies must import mini
mum of 100000 tons of sugar.
Formerly the United Kingdom and
France depended to considerable
extent upon Germany, Austro-Hun-
gary, Belgium and Russia for sugar,
These sources were shut off by the
war. The United Kingdom alone
thus lost the source of more than
half of her normal supply of sugar,
and has turned to new as we'll as
other sources for her supply The
changes thus brought about have
been largely a diversion of the prod
uct of Mauritius to the United King
dom instead of to India, and an ex-
pansion of the imports. Of unrefined
sugar from Cuba, the Philippines
and Peru. For refined sugar she
drew upon the United States and
Java.
However, the Allies can not turn
to such exporting countries as Java
and Mauritius without being forced
to go much longer distance anc
over more perilous route thar

thing, the loyalty and sacrifice of the
