Oycrplayiny Their HIND

TT has become evident within the past few
i days that the interests which are demand
ing the official head Of Postmaster-General
Burleson are OVERRIDING the thing. They are
inviting defeat OF their purposes by the way
in which they are clamorng that he be cruel
fled. There are abundant reasons why Mr..
Burleson should be jettisoned. He has dis
organized and all but demoralized the postal
service. He has made Il wretched failure Oh
the wire services now under his control lie
has caused unnecessary friction with the
labor unions with which he has had to deal,
and he has antagonized business interests
from end to end of the country. These things
we'll known, and they constitute an in
dctment which under ordinary circumstances
would cut short the tenure of the official re-
sponsibe once the facts became known.
But the critics Of the Postmaster-Gene
are proceeding further than merely reciting
the bare facts. They engaging in bitter
personalities. They are forcing issues into
the forefront Of the controversy that have
little or no place in it at all. They are con-
spring TO have the Democratic National Com
mittce repudatc him and call upon the Pres
dent 10 dismiss him in shame and disgrace.
They arc organizing propaganda against
this official which has all the Objectionable
clements in it that appeared in similar cam
paigns against Secretary of the Navy Daniels
and Secretary of War Baker.
oUCn smuggling as tnlS VIII make no laNOT-
able impression upon Woodrow Wilson. On
the contrary, those who know his mental
processes realize that it Will prejudice him
in Mr. Burlesons behalf. He will appear to
Mr.. Wilson TO be victim OF the same sort
of hostility that assailed Mr.. Daniels and
Mr.. Baker, and will create determination in
his mind to stand by Mr.. Burleson. This is
exactly what happened in the Daniels case
and in the Baker case. The President felt
that these officials not only being
bounded, but he conceived the fixed idea that
their enemies were not interested i'll them,
and, as matter of fact, were hitting at him
through them. Once that notion became
planted in his mind, no influence on earth
could move him 10 sacrifice them There is
manifest danger that just this sort of thing
Will happen again
The President has an acute sense OF
loyalty to his appointees. He perhaps stands
by some OF them longer than is consistent
wife his duty to the administration, to his
party and to the country, and case has
arisen where he should weigh the facts with
out prejudice or personal considerations. But
he will not do it If the tactics now practiced
by some of his critics are not abandoned.
