examinations for Presidential postmas-
ter under the Executive order of
March 81, 1917.
"A very recent example of Mr.. Burle-
sons conduct is furnished by his pro-
posed amendment to this order, which
now awaits the signature Of the Presi-
dent. The existing order provides that
the eligible candidate with the highest
standing shall be nominated. A large
number Of nominations have been held
up, many % them for q long time, evil

ment, which will enable Mr. Burleson,
in many cases, to deprive those stand

the nominations to which they already
are entitled. Among the postoff1ces af-
fected by the amendment are those in
Boston, Mass, and Newark, N. J.

man who had made the investigation
and brought out the evidence which Sc
cured the conviction.
"In my judgment, that is serious
proposition. In my judgment, the Post
master General had but one duty to
perform under this order, and that was
to carry it out in good faith, and if
he did not so carry it out, if he re-
sorted to various methods in secret to
crcumvent it while the public was
given to understand that it was being
carried out, he ought, at least, to be
removed. Men in Office have been i'm
peached for offences not as great as
the one to which have just called at
tenton. He not only kept the culprit
in Office and promoted him, but asked
that the man who was instrumental in
disclosing the truth, and bringing out
the evidence that brought about the
conviction, should himself be removed
from office.

various other ways the Postmaster
General has tried to interfere with the
work of the commission. l have no

vanqulshed the elements that threat
ened him. Emerging unscathed
from a Controversy with the Civil
Service Commission, he has found
a haven in the Presidential demand
for the resignation Of Charles M.
Galloway, Democratic member from
South Carolina Of the Civil Service
Commission.
This has led to a demand on the
part Of Senator Norris, Of Nebraska,
that the Committee on Civil Service
and Retrenchments investigate and
report to the Senate whether the
Postmaster General has used the
power of his Office to control the ac-
ton or the civil Service Commission.
A dispatch to "The New York
Times" explains that
"for months there has been constant
friction between Mr.. Burleson and Mr..
Galloway, due TO what the Civil Service
Commissioner has said In private were

II understand that in one case the
Civil Service Commission, performing
what I believe to be its sworn duty
under the law, made an investigation
where charge was made of political
activity on the part Of one of the en-
ployes Of the Postoffice Department.
The charge was made that he had vio-
lated the law. do not believe it will
be necessary for me to cite the statute

For the past three years NJ. Santos

OF South America studying the pros
poets Of aerial navigation within their
realms. An important report, based
upon these studies, will soon be made
public. This report may offer the op-
portunity for American manufacturers
OF airplanes to tide them over the
period OF reconstruction that is inter
venlng between the close Of the war
and the establishment Of commercial
aviation in this country.

fully developed. Everything now de-

the alrplane is now in the same con-

"The airplane occasionally has en-

of the pilot. sBut the time will come
very shortly now when the airplane
engine will be fully as dependable and
reliable as the motor of the auto

be on sound, everyday basis.
The design and construction Of air
planes have reached a point where
they are scientifically correct. Very
little further improvement can be
added to them. 1t possibly may be
that metal will be substituted for
fabric in wing construction, and in
place of veneer in body construction,

Airplanes are now strong, safe and
reliable in design and construction.

will be in the engines.
