Burleson's Tyrannical Censorship.

Albert Sidney Burleson is having lot of
trouble in regulating the transmission of public
intelligence, but he is doing the best he can to
see that nothing gets out but what he wants
to go. His worst break came on Sunday night,
when the New York World sought by wire to
offer for simultaneous publication in news
papers outside of New York an article review
ing the Burleson regime. kilograms proffering
this article to other papers were refused trans
mission by both the Western Union and Postal
Telegraph companies. It is explained that the
managers of these companies acted on their
own initiative, and they set up as defense that
the matter involved was libelous and they were
justified in suppressing it as far as possible.
Control of means of public communication can
not be carried farther. Mr.. Burleson has now
absolute sway over the mails, the telegraphs
and the telephones, and is not bashful or diff
ident about asserting it. He excludes from the
mails or forbids transmission over the wires at
his own pleasure and is answerable to no one
save the president, who twice named him as
postmaster general. His censorship is complete
and absolute and tyrannical as well. If other
members of the cabinet were to follow his ex-
ample, we would soon have to appeal to some
body to make America safe for Americans.

Natures Invitation.

IT ever Nature holds forth invitation to man,
it is now, in these early spring days, when
budding tree and shrub the grass wet from
last nights rain, the soft breeze the whistle of
the lark, the buoyant lit of the robins melody,
and every aspect of the great outdoors is an
inspiration and promise. Across the sky of
April float the great clouds, argosies of rain,
sent up from the southland to refresh the north
ern fields. Between shines a sky of such blue
as painter never put on canvas, and the warm
sun wakes to life the things that have slumbered
all the weary months of winter through.
Rivulets trickle along the little gullies, and
brooks broil madly to join the creeks, now
swollen far beyond their normal food. Rivers
are at freshet stage, and everything gives evil
dence of the great creative forces sprung into
vital action again, starting new round of the
cycle of existence, birth, growth, decay and
death. A walk in the park, a stroll along the
street, or better still, ride into the country,
will give the weary city man the relief he can
not find in his office. Nature asks you out of
DOORS these April days. She is donning her
new garb and would like to have you watch as
she decks herself in fnery that soon will shame
the utmost pretense of man. 1t is spring. and
the world is full of the impulse of life. Let its
influence enfold you, and you will be a CHEEKY
optimist no matter how you feel before you
start outdoors.

Substitutes for the Saloons

The Episcopal church seems quite ready to
accept the challenge which has been thrown out
that il is the business of the churches to find
substitute for the saloon. That denomination,
its clergymen as they became incapacitated, pro-
poses to raise during the next three years a
fund of $20,000000 for domestic and foreign
missions, of which some $18,000,0O0 is to be
used for several forms of church work here at
home.
There are various phases of this domestic
mission work, including work among the I'M
migrants the support of weak rural churches
and the like. but the plan which will arouse the
most interest is that which the committee in
charge states in this way:
Has the church no message or act of SYM
pathy and helpfulness for the millions in our
land who after July will be deprived of the
only social center provided for them? The saloon
has served a community need. Cannot the
church provide better? You cannot take
something away from man without giving him
something in return
This problem is new, being forced upon the
country by the wartime prohibition order and
the passage of the prohibition amendment-to
the constitution. The Episcopal church. among
Others has contributed to the voting strength
1t is only fair that the churches. having closed
the saloons, should provide something which
will replace them as social centers. The danger
is that the church, with its plan of ample hnan-
cial backing tor the new undertaking, may be
too late. The need will begin on July | and it
will become acute next January when the con-
stitutiona amendment will become operative
Commercial agencies of one sort or another will
seek to meet this need as soon as it appears
Some of these may be an improvement on the
saloon. but some Of them almost certainly will
not and they will have won their following be-
fore the church campaign is ready to start, I'M
less the church makes haste. Many expert
ments are likely to be made before anything is
found which has the social pull of the saloon
without the intoxication which it offers. The
church experiment will be the most interesting
of them all, and with the support which will
enable If to wait for its business to grow it
ought to succeed.-Brooklyn Eagle

Ballot In the South.

Omaha, April 23.-To the Editor
Of The Bee: When Hon. Carter
Glass, secretary of the treasury of
the United States, speaks here next
Friday why would it not be a good
plan for him to explain some things
to the people of Nebraska, where
every citizen can cast vote freely
and have it counted as cast?
Mr.. Glass ought to explain the
reason for keeping 100000 citizens
of the state of Virginia from casting
their votes, 100000 of the 100000
being white men, while little bunch
of autocrats run that state. Mr.. Glass
being one Of them, for he helped
frame the present constitution of his
state by which the greater part Of
the citizens of his state are without
the right of suffrage, under that
constitution so skilfully drawn. If
the several hundred thousands of
young men were good enough to go
to France to fight for what Wilson,
Glass and others call democracy,
why are they not good enough to
cast their ballots in the state Of
Virginia? Mr. Carter Glass would
not be secretary of the treasury to-
day had it not been for the crooked
work done by the so-called demo-
cratic party in every southern state
in cutting down the right of suf-
frage, not only to black men but to
several millions of white men as
well.
AS I have said before, I hope that
the republican national convention in
1920 will come lout boldly and de-
nounce the methods Of the southern
democracy in suppressing the vote
of millions of men, while at the
same time preaching democracy to
the whole world.
The southern democrats shed
crockodile tears over the expressions
the races of the whole earth have
been under, no difference what the
race or color, except in our own
land where both white and black are
compelled to submit to their dicta-
tons by the millions without any re-
dress.

there when a huge elk bounded into

must have escaped from the ZOO"

TEST OF STRENGTH AT PARIS.

Matters at Paris have reached point where
a genuine test of strength must be taken. Italy
resolutely declines to recede from its demand
for the port of Fiume. President Wilson
definitely asserts that Italy can not have this
port How this deadlock will be solved must
await the decision Of the other powers.
On this side of the water some wonder is
excited as to the propriety of our president
engaging to this extent in the adjustment of
purely European matters. 1t becomes him as
the great and good friend of all to assist to his
utmost in bringing about any adjustment neces-
sary to the preservation of peace there and
elsewhere. In this attitude he has the unques-
tioning support of all. But does this justify
him in taking dictatorial stand such as he has?
He argues with some adroitness that the
issue of the war has altered conditions that
might have supported the Italian claim. This
scarcely amounts to warrant for his request
that the treaty of London, under which Italy
went into the war, be now revised. Italy had
definite and we'll understood object in view
and is not in mood to abandon any part of
that quest now, because the president of the
United States feels it incumbent on him to
favor certain new states that have appeared
Moreover, surface evidence at least shows
that the citizens of Fiume, the port in question,
desire annexation to Italy and not to Jugo-
slavia
Lloyd George and Clemenceau have said they
would stand by the treaty of London.
We should know in little while now
whether the United States of America has risen
to the state of arbter of the worlds fate,
whether it be for democracy or not. 1t will
also concern US greatly as to what course Mr..
Wilson will take in the not impossible event of
the decision being against his announced de-
termination to award Fiume to the Jugo-Slavs.
Also we may get an early notion of the road
along which the League of Nations is leading.

CHAPTER ~.
The Warrior of Many Swords.
"HE unicorn was astonished when
the Mysterious knight landed
on his back. He reared up and
tried to shake the knight off Then
he almost stood on his head trying
to pitch the knight forward. But
the knight rode him like a cowboy
and couldn't be budged. The uni
corn swung his horn wildly around
leg.
Don't let him touch you with his
poisoned sword" screamed Peggy to
the knight. But the knight didn't
heed her. He reached out and
caught the unicorn by the horn.
The unicorn jerked and perked.
struggling hard to get his head free.
Then of a sudden something queer
happened-the Mysterious Knight
pulled so hard that he pulled the
horn right out Of the uniforms head.
At least that is the way it looked to
Peggy and the Birds, who put up a
great shout of joy, for, with the
exception of King Bird and his
crowd, they were all on the side of
the Mysterious knight.
The unicorn snorted in alarm
when he felt his horn go, and he
snorted again when Billy swung the
horn like a whip, bringing 1t down
smartly on the uniforms flank. That
started the unicorn on mad gallop,
around and around the arena. with
Billy urging him to faster and
faster pace by spanking him with
his own horn.
