Postmaster Burleson has called upon Theodore Roose-
welt to present facts to sustain his attacks on the depart
ment or shut up. The colonel will, of course, do neither,
because he is and always has been a big windy buffer.
Simply that and nothing more.

And now they say that Colonel Roosevelt will carry his
fight against Postmaster General Bulescn into the sen
ate. Quite likely-~the doughty colonel fights only with
his mouth and the senate is a splendid arena for such a
battle. Furthermore, Our George will be there to cham
pion his cause and lead his cohorts of wind-jammers so
their desperate onslaught against the government.

Only four more working days before the primaries,
that is for those who are not candidates. For the candi-

mayhap a visit out in the country just to try out the auto

few minutes with old acquaintance

roasts, in redhot phrases, the gent who lives next door;
because said gent is quiet, and doth all fuss abhor, and
can't believe that riot will help to win the war. Our
president serenely a good example sets to every voter
|queenly who paws around and frets. His grievous load
he carries, and does not pause to swear, while frantic
Dicks and Harrys are clawing at the air. He springs no
language bitter and yet all nations know that Woodrow
is no gutter, and does not fear the foe. We cannot whip
the Teuton, or chill his large splay feet, with language
highfalutin, with curses and repeat.

EXPECT TO END
u. S. AND CANADA
FISHING DISPUTE

justment OF long standing fishery dis
putes between the United States and
Canada is foreseen by officials who
will represent this country in confer
ences to begin here Jan. 15. Con-
gressional action will be necessary tc
settle finally some Of the problems
but the paramount interests OF the
two countries in winning the war and
the need Of food supplies are expect
ed to promote a spirit of accommo-
dalton on both sides that will smooth
out all the rough places.
Canadian officials again are seeking
to obtain the privilege for Canadian
boats to market their catches in
American ports. The law forbidding
foreign vessels from plying between
American ports has been construed to
include vessels carrying fish from the
banks to New England cities. Legisla-
ton to modify the law probably will
be asked of congress after the ques-
ton Of protecting American fisher
men has been threshed in conference
with the Canadian delegates and as
suranee obtained that equal privileges
will be given to American boats in
Canadian waters.
Protection of fish life also will en-
ter prominently the discussions and
American officials admit that this
country has much to do to equal the
wise conservation of lake and sea
foods already instituted by the Do
minioH, Dual control of fishing
waters by the federal government ant
the states is believed to have retard-
ed conservation measures here.
