IT OUGHT TO BE IMPROVED.

J. c. Koons. the first assistant postmaster-general
has this newspaper copy Of letter which he has
broadcast inviting suggestions and constructive
criticisms which may end to the improvement Of the
service. The letter goes say:
The Postofhce Department desires 70 maintain the
postal service high standard of efficiency and make
the necessities and requirements OF the public
Notwithstanding the extraordinary conditions prevailing
during the Department attempted do that
which other country has undertaken. namely,

at the same time perform the additional du
ties and activities imposed upon It. not aware

With this end in view requesting that YOU ad

We would simply say that patron Of the post

service is the many newspapers

The Public's Mines

They are our mines and are not
to be permanently closed by any one.
They do not belong to their owners
in the sense that production can be
stopped to secure greater profits.
They are not under the control of
the miners and to be shut down to
compel higher wages.
The operators and the workers
have large liberty, but with re-
spect to the use of the mines
are limited-are but possessors of
licenses which lapse with deliberate
non-use.
Ponder these simple truths. The
strike will do great ultimate good if
it's lessons sink deeply-if there is
an end to the notion that what hap
pens to the mines is exclusively the
affair of operators and miners.
Henry ]. Allen, the intelligent and
progressive Governor of Kansas, has
come to grips with facts. Perceiving
that the miners, declining all arbi-
tration proposals, have quit to en-
force their selfish will, and that the
mine owners are unable to operate

The Real League

Mr.. Polk, head of the American
delegation at Paris, is reported as
joining the representatives. of the
other Allied and associated powers
in warning Germany not to persist
in refusing to fulfill her obligations
under the peace treaty.
When there is real business to be
done in the interest of permanent
peace it always develops that it
must be done by the concerted
action of the three great powers who
are the body as we'll as the heart
of the alliance against Germany.
Talk of the league proposed by
the covenant dies away and the real
league comes into view. If this real
league does not continue, if its will
and power do not energize any other
scheme or plan for peace, then the
latter becomes merely a piece Of
paper.
At the present juncture of the
worlds affairs there is but one pos
sible league of peace. 1t consists
of a firm union by Great Britain,
France and the United States. Other
things may be supplementary and
ancillary, but if there is no league
of three there will be no league Of
many
So The Tribune calls once more
for the consideration of the tri-
partite treaty. which neither the
President nor the majority Of the
Senate seems interested in. AS
long as this policy of inaction is
followed it cannot be truly said
that either side at Washington is
primarily concerned about establish
ing league of peace,
Senator Lodge is neglecting a
great opportunity and a great duty
by not bringing the tripartite treaty
to the forefront of discussion.
New-York tribune., 1919-12-05

says we have made brilliant show
ing in our handling Of the Mexican
situation. All men would know that
he was concealing the truth; all peo-
pie except babes in the cradles know
we have been weak, supine, negli-
gent, cowardly, in regard to our duty
in Mexico, and I, for one Senator,
will stand it no longer"
Yet it is hard to forsake an estab-
lished policy after pursuing it for
seven years. We have become hard
ened to the idea Of non-imitation Of
the more virile methods Of Great
Britain and Rome. We have almost
lost count of the long list Of Mexican
outrages. The Mexican authorities
have been encouraged to expect COM
placency on our part. The idea Of
intervention arouses no enthusiasm.
Why now, the public is disposed to
ask, if not before?
Makeshifts are still available. A
severance of diplomatic relations is
suggested. How that would benefit
the unfortunate Americans still in
Mexico, or with property there, is
far from clear. And we still have
an A B c mediation in reserve-the
kind we sought after tho break with
Huerta and again prior to the recog-
milton Of Carranza.
"Watchful waiting" has drugged
the country. That fact has to be ad-
mitted. Otherwise the statement Of
an Administration Senator that its
attitude toward Mexico has been
"weak, supine, negligent and cow
ardly" could not pass, as Mr.. Ash
urst's has passed, without exciting
either contradiction or passion. In
the Mexican maze we seem to have
lost all sense of reality, all normal
appreciation of international respon-
sibility, or of the ordinary relation
between cause and effect.

their property, he has summoned
members of the public to go to the
mines to get fuel to warm them
selves and their families.
When it Is known that the public
can and will protect itself much
foolishness will be driven from the
heads Of those who have been al
lowed power on the assumption that
as they enjoyed its blessings they
would respect it's obligations.
The public has another weapon.
The miners who arbitrarily quit as
sumo that they will continue to be
fed from the fruit of other mems
labor. They say to the Kansas
farmer: eve purpose to freeze you
until you torpidly consent to our de-
nands." The farmer can retort with
justice: "Your game is one two can
play at. If you freeze me I may
starve YOU"
The crisis has not reached a state
where thought Of such a remedy is
in many minds. But there is power
with the majority to coerce any mi
nority into recognizing the reciproc-
ity of human relations.

The Tired Telephone Girl
Why She Resigns as Soon as She
Has The Chance

10 the Editor Of The Tribune. =
Sir: l read the letter signed e. P. s.
in this mornings Tribune. 1t is very
good, but there are other ways, too, to
help improve the telephone service.
The big cure would be to shorten the
hours. How can girl give good SER
vice when her daily hours are from 9
to or from 8 to s? Then she is
supposed to have relief of fifteen min
utes in the morning, an hour for
luncheon and fifteen minutes relief in
the afternoon. But she does not get it.
In business Offices the hours are from
to S, and it is not the continual reach
ing and working at top speed all day
long that it is in the central Offices.
There you have to keep "on the job" and
keep your wits about you.
The work is intensely interesting
and l love it. I received a good busi-
ness training in the eighteen months I
was in the long distance office. But
when position came my way Offering
more money, shorter hours, Saturday
half-holidays all year round, as we'll as
all holidays off, and in addition to that
at the end of the day have plenty of
energy left to enjoy life, why, of course,
l took advantage of the opportunity.
Please tell DR.. Hubbard to get after
that end of the trouble Tired people
cannot do efficient work. M. M. NJ.

Oral Hygiene
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Now that the tuberculosis cam
paign is ON, I should like to call at
tention to an equally serious question
Of public health. Why not a campaign
to establish dental clinics in public
schools? The Board of Estimate has
turned down request Of the Health De-
partment to make appropriation for
eighteen dentists in the public schools
instead of the nine now employed. OF
course, even eighteen would be q
rldlculously small number to take care
of the million children in our schools
The dental department of Bellevue
Hospital has a staff of nine operators
in itself. How about this? The mat
ter of the health of its children rests
with the public, the voting and taxpay-
ing public. If only large enough
number would demand an appropriate
sum OF money for this most important
work no board Of estimate in Christen-
dom could prevent its being obtained.
We have great appropriations for in
dorslng pure food and water, but if
the oral cavity through which pure
products must pass be unclean what
good does it avail? Furthermore. how
effective can a tuberculosis cure be
without public knowledge and practice
Of oral hygiene?

Your Fight Against tuberculosis

The war against tuberculosis bears
one close resemblance to the great
war, the lessons of whose fighting
are still fresh in our minds. It is
essentially peoples war, in which
every man, woman and child must
play part if victory is to be
gained. A few experts can do little.
Net all our doctors, our fighting
line, can achieve much unless they
are supported by US all, by the
knowledge Of every one and the
financial aid of every one who can
lend q hand.
That is why the Red Cross stamp
is particularly suitable means of
informing each of us of what is
undertaken and Of assembling the
assistance Of the entire community.
The money-$6,5O0,000 is hoped for
this year-is an essential help. The
intelligent aid and support Of every
employer, of every landlord, of every
parent, of every individual, are
not less vital. Prevention is nine
tenths of the battle. Early diagno-
sis and instant treatment are the
other tenth. Down these paths lie
the real economies and the only ef-
fective salvage Of humans.
Tho notiCr hoe rou~
awakening Of it's duty toward this
silent plague in our midst. Our
states, our cities, our schools, are
doing more and more every year.
We are setting an example to the
world, an example which we are
bringing home with practical appli-
cation and assistance in the case of
war-torn France. Never was the ap-
peal to each of us more instant and
compelling than in this year 1919.

ters drift. Large numbers have
been led to forget that ideals are
OF little use unless linked to reali-
ties. There has been a timorous
running away from difficulties, and
impulsive and ill-considered action
has been followed by long periods of
torpor.
The Republican party had as It's
first great leader rail splitter, and
was composed Of toiling men and
women who were sneered at, as mud
stills. It is doomed to die if it be-
comes class party. Thus it must
solve the problems presented by the
new economic pressures. AS head
Of the Republican organization Mr..
Hays displays the most wholesome
appreciation of the fact that it is
indispensable to satisfy the wishes
of that great majority of persons
who work with their hands. He
would take up and advance the work
which engaged the heart and intel
lect Of Theodore Roosevelt when the
war summoned him to special field
Of duty.
Fortunate is the Republican party
in securing at this time the leader

A Fighter Who Fought

For excellent reasons the victory
Of Georges Carpenter in one of the
little wars of Europe will bring
three rousing cheers from every
sport worthy of the name. There
were fighters and fighters in the days
Of the great war. Some stayed at
home in necessary industries or
otherwise fought the great fight at
something more than arms length
Others went to it, among them Car
pentier, who volunteered in 1914
before his class was called and
fought for his France like any ordi-
nary poet or peasant.
There have been rumors of
damage wrought in the admirable
frame Of Frances great boxer by
trench life. They sounded all too
likely. Justice is not often poetic,
and it was hard to believe that a
man could go through four years
Of modern fighting and come out Of
the mud and wet and shell and
shock as good as ever. Yet, for
once, the story has ended as it
should. The fighter who went to
the front and risked everything for
his country has had his reward.
Not only in France will there be
due rejoicing. The victory is for
all the Allies. If Carpenter feels
young enough and fresh enough to
try his luck on this side of the ocean
he will be one Of the most popular
heroes that ever stepped into a ring.
New-York tribune., 1919-12-05
Chairman Hays

A salient feature Of the notable
address of Chairman Hays at the
dinner Of the Republican women was
his insistence that the Republican
party, much as it has been privi-
legged to do in the past, must not
sink into SNUG satisfaction over it's
achievements, but must justify its
existence by present and future ac-
ton. Mr. Hays would have the
party not only forward-looking, but
forward-stepping. He is progress
sive Republican Of militant type
and summons the other party to the
high competition Of which will do
the better for the masses of America.
Of his party's record in the World
War Mr.. Hays is. justly proud. In
spite of many aggravations it ral-
lied to the support of the President.
The membership of the Republican
party, while claiming no monopoly of
credit, furnished most of the men
and the money by which the war
was won. No taint of copperhead-
'sm attaches to it-no small source
Of satisfaction to Mr.. Hays.
The impulses were the same as
those which inspired the men Of '61
to keep step to the music Of the
Union. The bounds of freedom were
to be made broader yet and the i'm
mortal principles Of the Gettysburg
Address given world application, and
SO the wearers of the blue cheered
on the wearers of the brown.
Then in the negotiations the prin-
ciples of the Constitution were drawn
into doubt; the doctrine that one
man was to rule, the remainder obey.
secured formidable support; it was
proposed to weaken our national in
dependence on the theory that a
lively feeling for Americanism was
in some way incompatible with
willingness to be true to world obli-
cations. The Republican party had
no choice but to oppose the innova-
tion-not in antagonism to system
atized peace, but in full sympathy
therefor.
Now, patriotism demands a read
justment of life to the new economic
conditions. The old principles Of the
Republican party, which can be
summed up in the one phrase "social
justice" are as pertinent as before.

the Administration. sometimes Le-
