THE BURLESON FIASCO

TT WOULD not be surprising If
Postmaster General Burleson s
retirement from the Cabinet
would follow closely upon the heels
of the Governments REIMBURSEMENT
of the telegraph and telephone lines
and the cables. Burleson took over
the lines not as a war necessity, for
the war was at an end when he
assumed control, but in order to try
out his well-known Government
ownership ideas. He went into office
an ardent advocate of public owner
ship, and that he was determined
as late as a month ago to keep the
lines if it lay within his power is
shown by the announcement of his
grotesque plan of payment by which
the Government was to acquire the
properties without the initial outlay
of billions of dollars, which it was
generally recognized would be neces-
sary If the wires were to be pur-
chased from the controlling COM
panies. So, it may be assumed,
Burleson has decided to let go only
because he has been ordered to do
so, which means that he has gotten
word from President Wilson that he
has been making entirely too many
enemies for the administration
That would be u hint to quit that
any man might take without fear
of offending his superior.
But the order has come too late
10 save the administration from
bitter criticism, whether Burleson
goes or stays. The Texan has been
a gross failure in everything he has
undertaken. He has wrecked the
efficiency of the postal system,
driven honest publishers to the point
of distraction with outrageous
charges, added to the cost of mag
azines to readers, caused many of
the most efficient postal clerks to
leave the service and has aroused
the antagonism of organized labor
by his arbitrary methods and his
unnecessarily harsh treatment of
employees. He has cost the country
millions of dollars in added expense
In the operation of the telephones.
the telegraphs and the cables, and
his fool orders have resulted in SER
lous deterioration of a service that

Peace Of Righteousness

There can be no nobler cause for
which to work than the peace of
righteousness; and high honor is due
those serene and lofty souls who
with wisdom and courage, with high
idealism tempered by sane facing
of the actual facts of life. have
striven to bring nearer the day when
armed strife between nation and ma
ton, between class and class, be-
tween man and man, shall end
throughout the world. Because all
this is true. it is also true that there
are no men more ignoble or more
foolish, no men whose actions are
fraught with greater possibility of
mischief to their country and to
mankind, than those who exalt un-
righteous peace as better than
righteous war. The men who have
stood highest in our history, as in
the history of all countries are those
who scorned injustice. who were in
capable of depressing the weak, or of
permitting their country, with their
consent, to oppress the weak, but
who did not hesitate to draw the
sword when to leave 1t undrawn
means inability to arrest triumph
ant wrong.
All this is so Obvious that it ought
not TO be necessary to repeat it. Yet
every man in active affairs, who also
reads about the past, grows by bit
ter experience to realize that there
are plenty of men, not only among
those who mean i'll, but among those
who mean well, who are ready
enough to praise what was done in
the past, and yet are incapable OF
profiting by it when faced by the
needs of the present. During our
generation this seems to have been
peculiarly the case among the men
who have become obsessed with the
idea of obtaining universal peace by
some cheap patent panacea.-Colo-

in MEMORIAM.

In loving remembrance of my dear
cunt, Mrs. VIM Welsh, who depart
ed this life on Thursday, May 8, at
II O'Clock p. M:
We know not why, by her decree nor
why by wisdom's dispensation
Our love and happiness, so beautiful
and bright;
Our fondest hopes, our longing ex-
pectation
Should be crushed down by Death S
cold hand DER night.
When in the midst Of LIES unfold
ing beauty,
A wife, mother, daughter, withdrawn
from our united love.
In silence she suffered; with patience
she bore,
Until God called her home to suffer
no more.
And thus asundered ties of kindness
and of duty,
From hence the tearstained eye mus
look above.
O. Father, Thou hast given and has
taken,
And Thou alone canst understand the
sorrow Of our broken hearts.
Heaven retaineth her spirit, earth the
lonely casket keeps,
And the sunbeans love to linger
Where our sainted sister sleeps.
All is dark within our dwellings
Lonely are our hearts to-day,
For the one we love so dearly
Has forever passed away.
MRS. H. LEMONS.

The Vaudeville Junior High School
closed the first year of its existence
in a blaze of glory, before an over
flowing audience, on the night OF
Thursday, May %, when the pupils
rendered a program that was a
tribute to the intelligence and versa
tility of the children as also an evil
dence of painstaking care and thor
oughness of method of the teaching
corps.
Supt Lyon delivered an address
illustrated with charts. along the
lines of better sanitary and hygenic
care of the children, both at home
and school.
School Director H. H. Levy, whose
interest in this school is proverbial,
was an excellent master of cere-
monies.
Miss Eleanor w. Raynes work, eff
forts and ability are so markedly de-
fined as to receive the commentator
of pupils, parents and superiors,
more than which there are no great
er honorS.
Supt. Lyon, the quiet but earnest
worker, School Director Levy, the
indefatigable, that small but heroic
band of women, the School League,
| ever hopeful, hopefully persistent
and persistently optimistic in the face
of gigantic obstacles from the very
beginning of the new school crusade,
and a few others, have, in view OF

the back.

ed to the fullest extent, and in addl-
ton thereto !. III,

Voted unanimously.
1t was moved and seconded that
J. B. Howe be authorized to take
charge of the teams of the parish un-
til the Good Reads Committee wants
them, Mr.. Howe to take teams with
out any expense to the parish. The
teams consist of seven mules, with
the exception of one mule and cart
which Mr.. Theo. Dendinger is to take
charge of, which has been working
on the jacksonville road. The mule
was given to Mr.. Dendinger, under
the same conditions. This motion
was made and carried on account of
having no road funds at present.
The meeting then adjourned until

BIZ CLAUS SPRECKI4ES.

Claus Spreckles, the multi
sugar-millionaire, once said:
Savings banks are the only
things for me. They are
easily reacred, and in case
you must have money, there
they are. j like them, too,
because they do not cost
anything. If you have land
you must have an agent or
employ part of your time
upon it, and if you invest in
anything else the same is
true. But in savings banks
you have only to put in your
money, have it recorded in
your little book and there
you are"
Every man of independent
means will tell you that this
is true, and that the first
few hundred dollars are
harder to accumulate than
subsequent thousands.
Money makes money.
Make up your mind to
save, and do it.
