Wilson And Burleson

Last November when the Republicans
took one grand fall out of the Demo
Gratis, IL was generally known that the
letter of President Wilson to the pee-
pie, asking that only Democrats be
elected, had great deal to do with It.
To be sure the Democratic congress
was sure to go, anyway, but the Re-
publican majority in that body was
doubtless greatly increased beeause of
the Wilson appeal to the people.
Suspected even at that time, it has
lately come out that Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson' the politician of the
Wilson cabinet" was the advisor of the
President in the writing OF this appeal.
The Texan told Ms. Wilson that was
the way to get votes and for once, Mr..
Wilson took the advise Of som cone be-
sides himself. The result everyone
knows, for the Wilson administration
was turned down in a landslide away
from autocratic-Democracy.
The head OF the postoffice depart
ment is thorn in the side of the De-
mocratic party, but ne one has yet fig
ured out what Wilson is to do with him.
He sticks tie the place like lsech and
the President seems too proud to ask
him to step down and out. The chances
are that, with ell Of the inefficieney of
the Burleson administration of the
postoffice department. and Of the wire
lines of the country, he may be pried
loose from his present place by giving
him some other job. It may be the only
way Wilson can save big row in his
party.
It is time to keep an eye on the post
Office department. for the next few
months. Either Burleson will have TO
go OF there will be the dickens TO paw
in the ranks of the Democrats. Burle-
son doesn't want to go either, unless
he is handed something just as good as
the present position, OF really better
than the postofice Hutchinson
News.

The Lima-Lisht Of War

The war has shown US the complete
moral rottenness Of two great Europe
an empires. 1t has shown US men of
culture, statesmen diplomats, lying
and plotting murder. 1t has shown US
ambassadors, apparently polished gen
tlemen, turned out by the best tailors,
advis ing their governments to sink the
ships of friendly countries to which
they were accredited, without leaving
traces of the human beings aboard those
ships. There is not crime which the
devils might be supposed to whisper in
the darkest regions of hell that these
represent atlves of civilization have not
embraced as a virtue We have be-
come SO familiar with it that we have
ceased to realize its utter horror. The
Peace Conference is becoming more
and more political in its nature, more
and more concerned with technical de-
tails. Something more than this is alb
solutely necessary if we are to make
the world safe not only for dem oeracy
but for the human Souls aturday

Practically Unclaimed

We quote the following from the
Hollidaysburg (Penna) Register.
The league of nations after having
undergone futher revision, shows no
change worthy of the name. None of
the faults uncovered by the patriotic
critics of the original constitution have
been eliminated IN the document now be-
fore Us. Like its predecessor the new
constitution makes automatic the declar
alton of war. 1t disregards the man
dates of the American Constitution by
denying to Congress the right to raise
armies and navies, to declare war to
regulate foreign commerce, to provide
for the common defense, and to regu-
late immigration. 1t takes from the
Senate the Constitutional power now
possessed by that body to pass finally
on eur treaties. In spite of the fact
that the words. Monroe Doctrine" ap-
pear in the document, that famous
principal is abandoned so far as any
protection given it by the league is con-
cerned. Uuder the new draft our SOW
erignity is surrendered quite as thor
oughly as under the original text. In
short, while there have been some
minor changes in the verbiage, all OF
the objectional features of the first
document appear in the articles as thev
have been redFawn.
