Government the Postmaster General of the country
Mr. Burleson who is from Texas takes little stock in
inherited greatness and allowed the Postal Telegraph Com
pany through its lawyers and friendly newspapers to
abuse him and the Government for only reasonable
length of time.
Then he reached out from Washington picked up Mr.
Macay and Others lifted them out of their company and
dropped them the sidewalk with gentle thud If they
had weighed more the thud would have been louder.
The former management of the Postal Telegraph Com
pany tells Mr. Burleson that he is Bolshevist and Mr.
Bueson goes along calmly doesn't take the trouble
to say IF it's Bolshevsm to put the Government of the
United States ahead of gentlemen who accidentally in
hsrited poles and wires, make the most of it,
We congratulate Mr.. Burleson on his frmness and
promptness when patience ceased to be desirable
It is good thing to have man working for the
people who really believes that the people, their Govern

Such men as Burleson the Postmaster General and
Daniels Secretary of the Navy have served this country

Citizens should forget the service that these two
have rendered the service that Mr. Wilson rem

Letters continue to arrive on
this highly interesting subject, the
latest contribution being from
British soldier who repeats the
complaint of many of our own boys
that all girls are dancing mad.
Surely girls, worthy OF the
name, ought to be able to give up
dancing long enough to take turns
sitting out dances with soldiers
whose wounds make that form of
exercise impossible. Doubtless,
girls do not think, and this is a
plea to them to give this subject
a little more consideration. The
next time you go to a dance look
about you, and make it point to
sit out at least one or two dances
with some soldier boy who, by rea-
son of his bravery, is now reduced
to holding up the wall and watch
ing others dance, and persuade
