POSTAL SERVICE AND THE WIRES.

The outlook for efficient telegraph and tele-
phone service under government operation
would be better if Mr. Burleson, now In full con-
troll of the wires, had been successful in his
management of the postoffice department
There have been many complaints of inefficiency
and frequent protests against exasperating and
apparently needless delay in sending mail mat
ter to its destinations Individual judgment con-
corning the merits of the questions raised by
compliments might be unfair and it certainly
would not be convincing. But statements by a
responsible body composed of Influential men
command attention. and this one, made by the
New York City Merchants association, is
worth noting: "We have proved tn" democrat
lied condition of the postal service a whole. =
That is pretty sweeping statement, but it is
based on the results of investigation and IN
quiry If it is not true Mr.. Burleson should
be able to prove it false, and if it is true no
time should be lost in improving the service.
In any case, it is unfortunate that other serv-
ices in which all the people are interested
should be in the hands of an official whose
work in the postofice department has wen but
small measure of public approval.

ExPLAikINGTHE SALUTE.

Major General Hugh L. Scott: Per-
Ihaps the most misunderstood custom
in the army is the salute.
Most people not acquainted with
soldier life, who have young friends
or relatives in this great new army
of ours, and who come to visit them,
do not understand why st is necessary
for their boys to salute them when
they meet an officer.
The American military salute is a
vital part of the American army
discipline, and it is as. -nece ssary for
"a soldier to learn how : to salute
correctly, and when and where to give
the salute, as 1t is for him to learn
how to handle his rifle.
1t is one of the signs Of the strong.
sturdy, outstanding American soldier,
and when he can look his officer in
the eye, salute smartly with snap,
he will receive in return a salute
which is the soldier sign that both
officer and man belong to the great
brotherhood of fighting men, and as
such, respect each other
Like many other customs Of the
army, the salute comes to us from the
past 1t probably dates from the time
when our ancestors in Europe held
slaves.
The slave could not own property,
he could not be soldier, and he
could not testify in a court of law, nor
take an oath. He was frequently
branded with a hot iron, in the palm
of his right hand, his masters mark
or sign.
So, in time, it became the custom
for every man, before taking an oath,
to raise the right hand, and show the
clean palm of the free man, who, be-
cause he was a free man, and not
branded, could be a soldier. So the
raising of his arm signified dignity.
When knights were bold, and all
men wore swords and daggers,
knight or soldier meeting his friends.
held up his bare right hand to show
there was no dagger in 1t. So the
raising of his bare right hand showed
friendship.
And there is yet a third old-worId
custom that comes down to us from
the past, when the knight wore a
steel helmet, which he raised when
in the presence of ladies, or his
elders, or superiors, to show that he
needed no. protection, and that he
came bareheaded in token Of his re-
gard and respect for them. So the
raising of his hand to his helmet, to
remove it, signified courtesy
The first story tells us that the
salute signifies dignity and freedom,
the second tells of the friendship and
trust, and the third of the courtesy
and respect that are shown in the
salute.
Now, these three things, dignity,
friendship and courtesy-really under
lie any honest, true life, and are most
necessary rules to have in the army
for if ever there was calling that
was dignified and free, ii is the call
ing of the soldier. And If that is

TOO MUCH ABOUT KNOWN FACTS.

PROFESSIONALLY some of the publicity matter
the government is sending out is becoming de-
pressing. Facts about the high prices Of many
necessary articles are told In detail; phophecies
that economy must be practiced or prices will
be higher; detailed accounts of labor shortage
and of its steady growth-all these are con-
tinued themes of government explanation. We
know high prices; we are quite apprehensive
enough of their rise; we know, too some of the
causes What we want is suggestion of any
helpful way of meeting the situation. Econ
omy is becoming necessity. Advice about it
is, of course, timely and has done good, but
economy is being practiced widely. Why are
prices for wheat substitutes so high9 Why
does shovel, a hoe a corset, anything that has
a little steel in it, or is supposed to- cost two or
three times what it did9 We heard about a
possible steel shortage and Immediately the
prices Of whole list of articles leaped in fright
to heights of peoples willingness to pay. Why
not little government publicity about this
phase of the business7 Even if it brought no re-
suits, it would make interesting reading

LARGELY RIGHT.

When T. P. O'Connor, the eminent Irish ma
tionalist, came to America over year ago he
found evidence which surprised and panied him
that there was division of opinion as to the wis
dom of our intervention in the war. But dur
ing the months that he has passed here, touring
the land from coast to coast and meeting all
sorts of people everywhere, he has found very
different sentiment growing up. He is now
convinced that no nation engaged in this war
is more passionately determined to wage it to a
conclusive victory and uncompromising
peace; and he goes SO far as to say that if any
one or all of the entente allies should in war
WEAKNESS show signs of accepting patched up
lpeace, America would fight on even if she stood
Ialone.
There is truth in this. Americans are intel
Iligent enough to see the issues clearly and to
know that they must be fought to finish some
time-now or later on. America is conscious
of her lmitless powers, the relative security
her geographical position gives her and her
ability to destroy an invading army and to more
than hold her own with Germany in running
fight for fifteen years or fifty, the seas.
America has walked up. She is stripped to the
buff She sees the thing that has got to be
done, and now that the job has been forced up
on her she is going to do it before she quits and
smash the German murder machine beyond re-
pair.
