BURLEsoN VS. sURLEsoN.
A Postmaster General Who 10 Rather
Difficult to Place.

Postmaster General Burleson may
not be two-faced. but we leave that
to your judgment after reading the
subjoined extracts from two written
statements he recently made:
In November he wrote thus about
postal employees:
Il feel II Is my duty as well as my
privilege. to extend to each and every
one Of the postal employees through
out the country my congratulations on
the excellent showing made by them
un the matter OF purchase OF second
Liberty loan bonds) At all times
patriotic, they have In the great crisis
through which we are passing. again
manifested their intense American
ism, Of which there Is no doubt.
Should another Liberty loan be ne
cessary, am confident that they viii
answer the call Of their countrys
need in as full q spirit Of loyalty and
patriotism as they have in the past"
In his annual report, made public
In December, he wrote thus:
AT rnIs rTIuraI perrvu m v',r-rrI-
tions history. II is regrettable to
state that the organized postal em-
ployes are making many selfish de-
mands and insisting that they shall
not be required or permitted to work
In excess OF the usual number "f
hours, also that the salaries be per-
manently increased. although they
are Justly compensated. receiving
more than three times as much a:
those fighting In the trenches.
Postal employees have become bold
because Of this afiiliation with labor
unions) and have within recent years
threatened TO strike. While
strikes In the postal service may be
ayerted for the time being, yet they
will inevitably come. and the public
will then be brought face to face with
a most serious. situation-one which
will be a menace to our government"
What more need be said? The
postal employees are among the hard
est worked and poorest paid OF gov
ernment employees. Their salaries
have not been raised in ten years
and today will hardly buy half as
much as they would have a decade
ago.-Greenville Piedmont.

naval men for their work in sinking
German submarines. First, the facts
or the award were made known. Lat
Aer the names of the men were pub

were not given out, you see. because
from those names the enemy might
possibly CLEAN some information as to
how the C-boats were being put
down. The navy. though, is a differ

FEDERAL GAME LAW.
Lacey Act Migratory Bird Law Being
Generally Observed.

Lacey Act Migratory Bird la" Being
Generally Observed.
Violations Of the Lacey act relating
to interstate shipments Of game, are
becoming fewer each season. there
being only As cases reported for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1917. The
majority of cases were for the inter-
state shipment Of wild birds. game
animals, and hides Of fur-bearing anil
mails illegally killed or shipped. Four
cases were for knowingly receiving
game illegally shipped in interstate
commerce. In one Of these cases
fine Of S4O0 and costs, the maximum
penalty Of 5000 on each Of two counts,
was imposed. Thirty-two cases were
disposed Of by the courts, resulting IN
20 convictions and the imposition OF
fines and court costs amounting to
1882, and In one q Jail sentence OF
80 days. Twenty-Five Of the cases re-
ported were for illegal shipment OF
quail from q number OF the middle
western states. Louisiana and South
Carolina are now the only states that
permit hunting for market.
That part Of the Lacey act covering
interstate commerce in game makes
It unlawful to ship or transport IN in
terstate~ commerce any wild animals
or birds killed or shipped In violation
of the state. territory, or district
laws. This includes the interstate
shipment of skins or pelts OF wild
animals illegally taken In any state.
Packages containing furs. when ship
ped in interstate commerce. must be
plainly marked SO that the name and
address Of the shipper and the nature
of the contents may be readily ascer-
tanned by inspection Of the outside OF
the package.
The federal mlgratory-bird law, un-
der which seasons for the adequate
protection Of migratory birds are pre-
scribed, Ia now generally observed.
Reports received from game and fsh
commissioners and others give evil
dence of a very marked increase In
the number of Wild waterfowl and
shore birds in most Of the states since
the law became effective, March 4.
1918, and that wild fowl have be-
come unusually tame in spring and
thousands are breeding in localities
where they have not nested for many
years. The consensus Of opinion at
tributes these greatly improved eondi-
tions to a general Observance Of the
federal regulations abolishing spring
shooting.

Motorears and Typhoid Fsvsr.-lt
would scarcely be possible to imagine
two things further apart or with less
apparent connection than typhoid fever
and the automobile. And yet the latter
is one Of typhoid's worst enemies
This remark applies particularly to
our cities, where the death rate from
typhoid has been notably reduced BY
the automobile.
The reason why Is simply that In
cities the motorcar has almost en-

than 80 per cent Of oil the house files

are so scarce that some people have

CONTROL OF COTTON PRICES
Mr.. HooveTs Representative Thinks
Price Fixing Shall be Universal.

Commerce and Finance, (N. Y)
The Philadelphia Public Ledger
publishes a dispatch from Washing
In part as follows:
ANY attempt to include cotton in
general price control will awaken the
forces which obtained its elimination
from the food control act at the last
session. Senators Smith Of South
Carolina, and Hoke Smith Of Georgia,
will lead fight against any effort to
control prices II they believe such ac-
ton would force prices down. In the
house there are score Of southern
members who would talk indefinitely
against such a course.
"Gcpferences among southern
0-afs already have disclosed their
4 afcc -:ctte.; IN . 1y-car,s 7. =
modify control bill. The faith OF the
cotton grower Is in the ability Of his
representative in congress to forestall
anything savoring control of cotton.
II general commodity develops cot
ton will be included. The southern
members will not be able to stand out
for their pet product against control
OF everything else entering into daily
human consumption.
1T is recalled that the southern
members were favorable to Inclusion
Of steel and iron. hides, wool, copper
and other commodities in the food
control bill, but when an amendment
was offered to include cotton. hurried
conferences were held and an agree
ment reached to confine the bill to
food, fuel and feeds"
In an interview published In the
World last Sunday. Mr. M. !. Requa'
Mr.. Hoover's personal representative,
and one of his chief lieutenants, is
quoted as follows:
I'm my opinion there must be uni-
versal price fixing power. You can
not take a segment Of a circle and
call 1t food and fix prices for that
alone. II you leave the farmer. for
instance, in a position to say. 1t Is all
right for you to fix the price OF food'
but what about the higher prices for
my farm machinery
Would you fix a retail price too 2"
whats the use of letting the re-
taller take all the proflts?" asked Mr..
Reuua. I'm my opinion we must fix
the prices of the basic commodities
and then we must fix a dinerentlal
in each trade operation down to the
ultimate consumer"
AS to the available supply Of neces-
saries, Mr.. Requa said:
1T cannot be made too clear that
there is a plentiful supply Of necessa-
ries for this country and for its allies.
There need be no question OF that.
Our difficulty is not with the supply.
A great many people are given to
saying that the matter OF prices
should be left to the law Of supply
and demand. think that is probab-
ly the most cruel, inhuman proposal
/ can well imagine, because 1t would
leave the poor where they could not
get what they actually need to live
and the rich could get anything they
want.
Furthermore, I have little patience
with the men who insist on saying
that the price Of food is merely an
economic question. I know perfectly
well there are lot Of people IN this
city who are not getting enough to
eat, although as I said before, we
have plenty In this country for our
own needs and for our allies"
