, and wire administration are mem
bers of congress who actively sup
ported the zone system.
The general breakdown of the
postal service was first taken up by
an association of New York mer-
chants, large users OF the mails and
vitality affected by inefficient serv
ice. This association gathered data
proving the breakdown and giving
many of the reasons for the failure
in the metropolis. Other cities found
similar conditions. Mr.. Burleson has
put in force an unbalanced method
of demerit marks that has brought
encouragement and decentralization
to the postal employees. His auto
cratic policy has closed the usual
avenues for complaint and correction
of abuses. His method of stationary
distribution of the mails has resulted
in hardness of delivery, indefinitely
increased by the missing of connec-
tinos. His adherence to the space
instead of the weight method OF pay
ing the railways has brought other
delays. He has eliminated the time
saving tube service in the larger
cities, although congress voted for
its retention. He has been urging
that rural free delivery routes be let
out to private contractors His de-
feat of the purposes of the merit
system is practically confessed.
The turmoil that has characterized
his relations with postal employees
has appeared under his administra-
ton Of the telegraph, telephone and
cable systems. Service has deterior-
atad and rates have gone I'D and Mr..
Burleson has continual friction with
owners, employees and patrons. His
numerous statements as to the wire
situation form mass of contradic-
lions 1t has been impossible to
reconcile with the theory of his
frankness. If ever public servant
has been tried and found wanting, 1t
is Albert Sydney Burleson.

reasons. The general charge is
demonstrably false. In the first

VICTORY GARDENS.

The back yard garden is the promoter of
good health and better living than that which
comes out Of tin cans and distant truck fields.
Amateurs say that even if the garden fails to
yield profits from dollar and-cents standpoint,
the satisfaction of planting things and seeing
them grow is worth all the labor and financial
outlay involved in its making. 1t provides the
city family with fresh vegetables and small
fruits. In the aggregate the kitchen gardens
added immensely to the sum total OF vegetable
production last year and the year before. And
there are a number of pertinent reasons why it
will be just as necessary to plant the back yards
and vacant lots this year as it was to increase
the garden planting last year.
The latest reports indicate that the farmers
are going to cut down their acreage of both po-
production and higher prices for these veget-
ables. There may also be reduction in the
bean and onion crops While the quantity of
these vegetables produced on a small lot is in
significant, on thousands of these lots it amounts
to many thousands of bushels.
Our house lot gardeners have learned, in many
instances by costly experience, that it does not
do to hurry the work Of planting; that the
ground should be in proper physical condition
when being worked, and that through prepar-
alton and Late planting give better results than
hasty planting in cold, wet, sour soil. With the
knowledge and experience obtained in the last
two campaigns industriously and diligently APP
piled to garden making, this springs planting

BE JUST TO ITALY.

If would appear that Italy had laid before
+ba conference the irreducble minimum OF her
claims It was a temperate statement OF her
inst demands to be allowed to bring under her
flag Italian populations and the territory they
occupy; yet it was ultimatum IN the sense
that if her right to do this was denied at Parls,
she would appeal from the conference decision
to the nations which made the so-calted pact
in London with her early in the war. Ihls was
a treaty between England, France and Italy
and an understanding as to the settlement Oh
territorial and other questions growing out OF
the conflict. 1t was an agreement made while
.Jugo-Slavia still a part OF Austrla-Hun-
gary. 1t was the understanding on which Italy
broke with the triple alliance and joined the al
lies: and it was hardly conceivable that France
and England would repudiate their treaty. Ap-
parently the inconceivable has happened and
new italy threatens to forcibly seize Fiume and
other disputed territory and may conclude
separate peace with Germany.
The greatest opposition to Italy's recovery
of her unredeemed provinces came from the
American peace commissioners Yet any con
tention which would give F'iume, city over
whemingly Italian which has just by plebis
cite demanded union with the motherland, t.
a state which was not in existence when the war
began is illogical and extraordinary, being IN
absolute contravention of the principle Of self
determination of which so much is made IN the
a. sidents fourteen points. If this principle is
not applicable to Fiume, to what territory can
ii properly be applied? 1t certainly seems IN
consistent that our commissioners should stand
so stoutly for the doctrine wherever German
populations are concerned and repudiate it
where Italian interests are involved. In fact it
lis surprising, nexphcable and almost unbeliev-
able that commissioners at Paris should
antagonize Italy, our ally, on a matter which
does not concern America in the least and as

there is nothing particularly to rec
ommend him to public favor except
the fact that he is the son OF his
father. His name Is suggestive, but
that does not assure him the distinc-
ton that came to his illustrious
father. He has not yet attained the
sublime altitude occupied by eminent
statesmen of the day; nor do we
know that he ever will. He has a
way to travel not as smooth as the
road to mill He will have obstacles
to overcome. dangers to avert, de-
feats to recover from, and may per-
haps fail utterly as others have done
before him.

THE FOUR YEAR NOTES.

The Victory loan notes with their tax ex-
emptions and satisfactory rate OF interest are
good investment They are absolutely safe,
and as they are redeemable SO soon the chances
are they will always be marketable at par by
holders who would convert them into cash.
This is said to be the last loan that our govern
ment will float and is the most attractive
proposition it has put forth. The only critl-
cisn of it is that it's excellence as an investment
will work to the disadvantage of other Amerl-
can securities and general business may be Grip.
pied to some extent by the diversion of funds
to the notes. But this is reason why the
people should not take this issue. The govern
ment needs the money and if they do not lend
it the people will have to pay it in taxes, which
never come back with interest as this invest
ment will. Everything indicates that the issue
will be readily absorbed. The administration
has evidently aimed to offer loan which would
be popular and be taken eagerly and speedily,
and has apparently succeeded in its aim.

Instant Essence.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
1t is evident the pact" has moth
ing to do really, for both disputants
admit the division affects only ma
tions yet in the formative stage,
which we view as essentially none
of our business. Besides, no new
society can logically be retroactive
and our usual course is against the
ex-post facts, and SO the pact is not
affected by any new demands.
Besides, it is clear both admit the
non-existence of the one nation that
may have listened to the points"
and it is clear they show much in
consistency as to time. 1t is clear
disruption is logical in view of per-
mitted anarchy. Ii is sure the way
was open for Italy regardless of the
so-called self-determinaiton. 1t Is
historically clear that as basis
for honorable settlement Italy can
not be lightly disregarded and some
idea of general welfare can come out
of Italy.
In fact, 1t seems clear the ques-
tions of boundaries are of minor i'm
portance anyway and in no way in
order in council dealing only with
old empire is a displeasing specter.
Really. there is no new diplomacy
at least affecting the nations that yet
ARE to be-" There Is really no
right nor Justice in insisting on a
league law when there is no league.
The world is yet free. 1t ought to
be practical enough to act in the
living present. not in theoretical
future and all can and should be
given credit for knowing the way to
form a league is yet TO be worked
out, not assumed.
1t is .fortuSate that peace and
league have different meanings and
times and self-determination are not
instanter unless under color of treaty
right, as in Panama.
