Pennsylvania Court
Overrules BurleSon

Washington, April 1S-Members OF
Congress who have been steadily op-
posing what they term the high
handed and autocratic policy OF
Postmaster General Burleson are
much interested in the victory Of the
state of Pennsylvania in the courts in
preventing him from increasing tele-
phone rates on his own fiat and with
out the slightest authority of law.
Judge kunkel of Harrisburg, who
rendered the decision, holds that
neither the President nor the
Postmaster General was acting Of
ficially in changing the rates and
tolls. and they acted beyond the scope
of their powers" Though he does
not deny the right of the President
to operate the telegraph for war pur-
poses. Judge kunkel says: when
the President attempts to use the de-
PENDANTS lines and it does not appear
that it is for war purposes. but on
the contrary appears to be for a pur-
pose having no apparent or direct re-
lation to the prosecution of the war,
1t must be shown. we take 1t, that he
Is using 1t for a lawful and constitu-
tional end. The necessity out Of
which his power arises does not ap-
pear in the present case"

the West Point men and the others
In the service, he declared that the
Regular Army men were narrow.
West Point il a narrow college. for it
breeds men in," and makes the Of
ficers feel that they are better than
anyone else. Perhaps this is no
more than natural. for previous to
this war the enlisted men in the
Regular Army were chiefly men who
could not hold any other kind Of job.
The war changed this. but apparently
it could not change the officers, said
Mr.. Sibley.
Speaking of some Of the mistakes
made. Mr.. Sibley said that practical
ly all the boys felt unfriendly toward
the American high command. When
asked II Gen. Pershing himself was
responsible for many Of the mis-
takes. he replied that probably the
General could not be held personally
responsible. for the leader Of such a
movement cannot be expected to
know much Of detail. However. if
Gen. Pershing should run for Presi-
dent. the speaker felt that this spirit
Of bitterness would be clearly shown.
The case of Gen. Edwards, ne said,
was largely a question of personal
feeling. In his earlier days. Gen.
Edwards had been hoped over sew
eral other officers and they had never
forgiven him. Moreover. Gen. Ed
wards was entirely opposed to the
policy of the Army, for he was
against breaking up divisions; he
fa vOred promotino enlisted men from
the ranks: and he favored sending
requirements back to their own di-
visions.
The record of the 26th Division.
said the speaker. has been written
on the ground of France, in ground
gained. in prisoners taken, in Ger
man statements, in length of service.
in the shape in which the men came
through and in the way they came
home.

Marrow Minds.

Frank Sibley Of the Boston Globe
passed many months with the
American army in France and so ac-
curate was the information sen out
by him and SO valiant the service
rendered as a newspaper man, that
he has been decorated by the French.
Hence, when he speaks, as he did
Monday evening in Boston before the
Massachusetts, Press Association. we
may feel absolutely certain that Sib-
ley is stating facts. as he saw and
knew them. regarding the recent CEN
sorship and the treatment of certain
Officers dear to New England hearts.
Note what he said, as told by the
Globe:
He paid high tribute to his news
paper colleagues. who did the hard
work at local camps and ports of de-
b~arkation. Il never have realized
what these fellows did until now" he
said. and then continues: "A man
who could not write good stories
from a world was could not fall off a
slanting roof while 1t was wet"
Referring to the censorship. he
styled it SILLY and fatuous and the
laughing stock of other Nations. The
system prevented honest correspon-
dents from sending legitimate news,
while not preventing the dishonest
one from sending about what they
pleased. 1T was conducted" said he,
by men who were not gentlemen
and who did not know gentlemen"
Mr.. Stbley said that the experiences
through which the boys have gone
have sunk in deeper than appears on
the surface. and that the boys as they
come home have a more serious view
Of life.

stated that G1.000 invested in 1908 in
shares. then quoted at par. of a GER
tain company would have earned
dividends equal to about $500 and
would 10Y be salable. at $500.
In the case Of another company he
said that "for the ten years ended in
1918 the dividends paid were equiva-
lent to about 243 percent of the in
creased capital. or over 800 percent
on the actual capital"
The witness said that in most cases
the extent of profits in coal had been
obscured by the capitalization Of re-
serves or other readjustments of capi-
tal."
BY these methods and by divi-
dends." he testified. the most sue
cessful companies are able to return
to their shareholders every few years
the whole Of the share capital origi-

new life. Out of the darkness of the
long, sad hours of anxiety comes the
thrill of knowing that all is not lost.
We see the confirmation of our hopes
and we renew our courage and meet
the next task, however hard, with
heads up and hearts brave. There is
n something. a spark of divinity in US
that keeps us steady in spite of seem
ingly insurmountable obstacles. 1t is
the Easter spirit. the sense Of a God
that makes us refuse to believe in
such a thing as a blank wall beyond
which there is nothing.
At Easter, 1918. the great German
drive which had started March q on
a fifty mile front in Picardy had
swept on for en- days in an appar-
entity irresistible tide. 1t was esti-
mated that a million and a quarter of
troops were engaged on both sides.
In the first three days. of battle the
casualties totaled $500 600, nearly as
for the war. The valiant British
were outnumbered three to one on
parts of the line. In nine days 1000
square miles of territory, which had
been wrested from the enemy at ire
rnndana NAof in 1919 0nA 1917 f4l1
into German hands. The mysterious
long range gun was bombarding
Paris and on Good Friday IS PEG. e
were killed while worshiping in a
city church. 1t was the darkest mo-
ment of the war. Paris and the COW
eted channel ports seemed within
reach of Hindenburg at last, and if he
o those the rest must be easy.
Yet nobody despaired. nobody
thought the war was lost. nobody
thought it would be lost. Philip
Gibbs, a a &C correspondent who was
with the British army at the time,
repeatedly says that The Tommies
were even over confident. They new
er remotely considered the possibility
of the Hun as the winner. They had
to be told again and again of the real
seriousness of the situation before
they got down to business for all
there was in them. On March 90
General Ferdinand Ftoch was made
generalissimo of the Allied forces.
His own modest account o. his serv-
ices is summed up in his words: "All
l did was not to lose faith" 1t was
just that faith which won the war.
At Easter, 1919. the war has been
won, but peace has not. We have
been passing through some dark
hours in these recent weeks. in which
we have been told that peace cannot
be made. that revolution and anarchy
are about to make the war pale into
insigni1cance, that the whole fabric
of civilization is in danger of worse
perils than even the Huns.
After all, we do not really believe
1t. We believe that somehow. some
time. soon this nightmare of nearly
five years will end and we shall re-
sumo our normal, peaceful ways Of
life. We may doubt the wisdom of
statesmen and of councils. but we
v doubt the future. Disasters
have befallen the world many times
in the past, but still it rolls on, keep
ing its place in the universe, greater
than n mind of mar can conceive.
Let US. then. at this Easter season
take fresh courage n renew our
hopes and faith in the future under
the guidance of Almighty God.
