ONE RESULT OF MEDDLING.

There are those who consider Mr.. Wilson s
Ipronouncement on Italy's claim to Fiume as the
IL greatest document that ever e1nanated from
the mind of man. That is an outside view OF
i large matter, as would seem to students OF
world affairs. Italy may object to the DISPOSE
ton of territory for the return Of which she
primarily entered the world war, but if vote
| as to .'self determination were taken In the
Fiume territory it may be safely wagered that
t the majority would be on the side OF Italy s
contention and against the position taken by
Mr. Wilson in his tultimatum' to Rome.
As one result of our presidents meddllng,

NAMES AND HEROES.

Milwaukee Journal: Humor is
often cutting. It is fun for the peo-
pie to whom is is presented, and the
reverse to the person who 1t MADE

oddly, humor and pathos, the ridicu-
lens and the sublime join hands in
such manner as to make either
treatment difficult. Nowhere Is
this better exemplified than In the

Ships Names May Cause Trouble.

New York Herald: When Mrs.
Wilson got the brilliant 60 idea OF
giving number of the shipping
boards vessels Indian names she did
not think, of course, of the trouble
she was laying up for shippers. This
is well expressed, according to the
Exporters Review, in the monthly
letter of the Farmers and Merchants
National bank of Los Angeles, which
says: "Quistconk, Wahkiakum, Wa
kulla, West Gotumska, Chiquimula.
Zumbrota, Sagadahoc Ozaukee, Lo-
hocia, Hauppauge, Absarokt, Batta-
hatchee. Why make trouble for bank
ers, shipping clerks and telegraph
operators for years to come? A Fiji
islander with harelip could not pro-
nounce correctly any of these names
in three separate trials. -" 1t is
the intention of the government
sooner or later to sell these vessels.
1t is to be hoped that no legislation
will be enacted to prevent those
acquiring them from giving them
more appropriate names"
We sincerely hope that none OF
these vessels engage in Latin-kmeri-
can commerce under their given
names. as the slightest misspelling
of vessels name in the consular
invoices required by some South and
Central American countries results
In heavy fines.

st. Louis Globe Democrat: The
public Is generally familiar with
many OF the faults OF Postmaster
General Burleson, manifested not
only in his high-handed treatment OF
employees. his obsession against
pneumatic tubes, his insistence on
letting rural free delivery routes out
under private contract, his hostility
to periodicals and his sweeping
changes in the telegraph and tele-
phone rates and rules that have
added to the expense while deteri-
Grating the character of servico--to
say nothing OF his contemptuous
treatment of the rights of owners.
The delays in mails are also a mat
ter of common knowledge. but little
is generally known as to specific
causes. The first explanation was
the war, which was excuse for a
multitude OF abnormalities In private
and public affairs. Then the railways
were blamed. The sins OF the rail
way administration are numberless
as the sands of the seashore, but this
is not one of them, according to Will
liam Hard, who has made an exhaus-
tive study of Burlesonism and is re-
porting his findings serially in the
New Republic.
Mr.. Burleson is trying to make 4
book showing of economy. He found
it cheaper to hire spaces in buildings

THE p. NJ. G.

darlington Hawk-Eye: OF all the
officials who have brought the al
ministration into disrepute, there Is
no other like Burleson. In the post
.off,ce department he is the cause OF
endless dissatisfaction on the part
of the employees, as well as the gen
ero1 nublic. He certainly played
havoc with the telephone and tele
granh lines. which he took under
control without any apparent excuse
or provocation, and seemingly 1or nc
other purpose than to show MS
power, and to devise new ways aho
means Of annoying public, thal was
truly weary Of the man anu his
antics.
II is not that this opposition &c
Burleson is confined to an opposf
ton party. Many democrats are
among those who protest mos
strenuously against this American
.czar and his methods. a snort TINS
ago. a new labor party was organizes
in Illinois, and one OF Its proniineh'
demands was the scalp OF the uh
speakable Burleson.
Neither the threats OF the opposi
tion nor the warnings OF MS OWL
narty seem to have any erect on
president Wilson. Word came IRON
paris recently, that he would stand
nv Burleson to the end.
The state of Texas seems to nave
a mortgage on the rest OF the United
states. Between Colonel House, the
man behind the throne, and POST
master General Burleson, the Lone
star state seems to weigh more ~
the esteem OF Wilson than all the
wide world combined.

LABOR COST AND LIVING COST.

Minneapolis Journal: 1t must be
granted that in the present high cost
cf living there is a considerable ele-
ment of surplus profit-not on every
Item, perhaps, but on too many. The
cd scale OF prices having been upset
by the war, everybody with something
to sell had free hand to make up a
new scale. And until we know some
thing more than we can now forsee
as to tomorrow's cost of producing
goods. the tendency is to hold up the
prices OF today. This uncertainty
about the cost Of new goods sustains
the prices of old ones and holsters up
the cost of living.
In many lines OF labor before the
war the working day had come to the
cight-hour basis. All industry may
come to this basis, in the reconstruc-
ton period. If so, the cost of living
will be sustained to that extent. for
On the average ten hours labor ia
likely to produce more than eight.
In time the, new eight-hour day can
be made equal productivity to the
longer day, but only when the work.
man has learned to put more solid,
honest labor into an hour, and when
ways of speeding up men and ma
chimes without added physical strain
to either are studied out.
Labor is the largest item In produc-
ing practically everything that enters
into the cost Of living. From go to
SO per cent. OF the cost of everything
that comes from the soil Is charge
axle to labor. AS the greater part OF
the products vital to existence comes
from the soil. it makes an appreciable
difference in the feed bill whether the
average plowman forgets his monkey
wrench when he gets to the field and
has to let his team stand idle when
he goes back for it.
The cost of wheat to the consumer
is not fixed by the man with trac-
ton engine pulling six harvesters, but
by the man who let's three horses
stand half the forenoon. while he tink-
ers at the broken pitman which he
should have fixed last winter. Only in
comparatively few show spots is
farming at the point of high efficiency
Our costly food is full of costly blund-
crs made in the field and around the
barn.
Every hour the ditcher uselessly
leans on his spade, every aimless or
rurposely slow movement made by an
unwilling wage Garner in factory. mine
or field. helps keep up the price of
bread and butter, sugar and shoes.
The price of living will never match

What is Delaying Our Mails

for the sorting. of mail than to pay
for space in moving cars. The fact
that mail sorted in moving cars is
travelling toward its destination, be-
ing switched at crossings and there
by gaining from twelve to twenty
four hours over mail that does not
start on it's jurney or is interrupted
in its transit to be sorted, Is mere
trifle under the Burleson system OF
efficiency. All periodicals except
daily papers are said to be subjected
to such delay. Mr.. Hard also says
that the new system of paying the
railways on a space instead Of .
weight basis is responsible for many
delays. A train on which no space
is rented often passes truckloads Of
mail, which must wait for another
train many hours later. again miss.

delays. This is true not only OF

often means days delay in bust
ness. for II mail does not arrive until
business closes It might as well not
arrive until next morning. Mr.. Hard
gives concrete examples where mail

quential delays. extending into sew

TODAY's BiT OF VERSE
The MAN AFTER YOU.

Here's a toast that you should drink, my friend:
TO the man you'll never know
To the fellow who's going to take your place
When it's time for you to 60
You've wondered what kind of man he'll De,
And you'd like to take his hand,
Just whisper. Il wish you well, old man,
In a way that he'd understand
You'd like to give him the cheering word
That you've longed at times to hear:
You'd like to give him the warm handeasp
That you've missed when times We're orear-
You've earned your knowledge by sheer hard WORK,
And you wish that he might know
That you're hoping his path won't be SO rough
When it's time for YOU to go.
Will he see all the sad mistakes you made
And learn of the battles lost?
Will he guess at your weaknesses
Or the heartaches that they cost?
Will he gaze through the mist Of fruitless toll
To the underlying plan
And catch glimpse of the real intent
And the heart of the vanquished man!
You dare to hope as he tolls some day
He may guess as you have wrought
And gain some strength for his weary taah
From the battles you have fought
But you've only the task itself to leave
With the cares for him TO face;
And never a cheering word to speak
To the fellow who'll take your place!
Then here's TO his health! Drink deep, dear friend
To the buddy who's after you;
Who will have to carry your work along
In the way that you tried to DO
You've dreamed your dreams and OF victories
Which were, often not, defeats,
And YOU trust that those same may assist MIN some
From the depth of your heart-beats.
And your prayer today is that all your dreams
May be realized by him,
Though none may praise that you paved the way
Ere you bowed to the Reaper grim
But you'll meet day in the great unknown
Out there in the realm of space;
You'll know his clasp as he takes your hana
And peers deep in your tired race
Then drink to his health, Nhoer he be,
This man you may never know
Who will have TO harrow where you nave ploushea
