The New Treason

On his appearance as witness before the
house postofice committee at Washington it
developed that Edward Reynolds, formerly gem
eral manager of the Postal Telegraph company,
had been dismissed by Postmaster General
Burleson for refusing to comply with orders
issued after the telegraphs and telephones had
been taken over.
Having made this fact matter of record,
Chairman Moon proceeded on line of ques-
tions indicating his belief that Mr.. Reynolds
had been guilty Of high crimes and misdemean-
ors "You were dismissed because you were
treasonable?" and you were disloyal to Mr..
Burleson?' he asked, to which the witness in
dignantly responded in the negative.
We used to suppose that treason against the
United States consisted only in levyng war
against them or in adherng to their enemies,
giving them aid and comfort" but the authors
of that clause in the constitution did not know
Albert Sidney Burleson of Texas If they had
even suspected that he would one. day come
upon the scene and be in charge of all means
OF communication, they would have prescribed
the death penalty for any hirelng who ven
tured to question the Burlesonian authority.
In view of Mr.. Burleson's great popularity
in congress, why does not Chairman Moon pro-
pose a constitutional amendment defining his
new theory of treason, just to see what may
happen?-New York World.

So far as the pernicious practice of filling

no defense to be offered. In this great and
glorious country of ours, there is no job that
some one else can not FIJI if necessary and no

quired to draw public salary. The pretense
that in some sparsely settled western counties
the county Offices can not be manned satsfac-

Tlme for courageous Action.

If the democrats had had their way in 1900
we could not now cite the world to a splendid
example of the practical application of the al
truistic doctrine the president is preaching in
Europe. Mr.. Bryan made anti-imperialism the
paramount issue OF 1900, demanding that we
withdraw from the Philippines and leave the
islands and their inhabitants to the fate that
lowered so close in the shape of Germany and
Japan. The Boston tea drinkers" for months
belabored the president and his coadjutors be-
cause of enforcing slavery" on the islanders.
These have since been silenced, and the policy
they deplored has become the central thought
of world-peace.
At the moment a similar association of
equally devoted and as completely misguided
Missionaries are engaged in a crusade against
any outside attempt to restore order in Russia.
1t is admitted that our policy towards Russia
has been vacillating and uncertain. The present
administration lacks the courage of Mckinley
and his associates and has not faced any of
the great issues of the war with the intrepid
determination that made such short work of the
Cuban and Philippine questions. But it is
also true that any of the little group of adj
vanced editors who are pleading the cause of
the bolshevh in America would encounter
short shrift were he to fall under the benefcence
of Lenine ..e ~. 20
These thinkers" have so immersed them
selves in speculative consideration of abstrac-
tons that for them the concrete things of life
have dissolved. Human experience has taught
them very little They defend the upside down
state Of affairs in Russia as an achievement for
democracy, rejecting all evidence to the con-
trary. Our own country will escape the scourge
eventually because its safety is In the hands of
people who earn their own living and do their
own thinking, but it is not pleasant to watch
a group of so-called "intellectuals" flirting
with the dangerous elements of anarchy Pru-
dent men step very softly when passing
through a powder magazine.

Let the soldiers Have rheir cigarets.


Why should the retiring soldiers who have
risked their lives to win the war for US be put
in the guise Of law-breakers in Nebraska every
time they buy package of cigarets?
Why should the good women of the Red
Cross or the Service League, the Y. M. C. A.
and K. of c. workers have to violate the law
of this state every time they give cigaret to a
crippled veteran or put up box of goodies
for the far-away lads overseas2
These questions are suggested by the state
ment of Representative Mcleod in explana-
ton of the scope and purpose of his bill to
license the vending of cgarets under strict
penalty for their sale to boys and minors. The
proposed measure would stop the farcical con-
dition now existing in this state, which gives
us an prohibitory cigaret law, constantly disre-
garded and fouted, and makes it no more of an
offense to put cigarets into the mouths of chill
dren than to sell to a mature man.
A workable law restricting the sale to re-
sponsbe licensed dealers would be such an
obvious improvement on the existing situation
that II should have the unanimous support of
all the lawmakers in step with this enlightened
age

Getting Too Much Help.


One very apparent trouble in America at
present is that everybody can take his or her
troubles to Washington, with advance assurance
of sympathy and assistance. Uncle Sam has
undertaken the pleasant job of making all his
nephews and nieces happy and wealthy. In
the far away pre-war period those who ventured
on business enterprise did so in full realization
that certain hazards attended the effort They
knew that industry and thrift must be the foun-
dation of success, and that they must enjoy
confidence to attract patronage on which their
continuance in business depended. Now that
has all been changed. If profits shrink and
calamity mpends, trip to Washington, an in
terview with cabinet officer or bureau chief,
a bill in congress, and the trick is done Risk
no longer attends American commerce or in
dustry Prosperity is assured by the govern
ment, and all would be well, were il not for
the fact that somebody has to foot ethe bills
In undertaking to assure profits whereon taxes
might be levied and from which wages might
be paid, the government has found that the
vicious circle can not be changed to the benef-
cent by legislative thaumaturgy. How to re-
verse the process and get down to safe basis is
now the question, the answer to which will GER
tainly be referred to the next congress. The
democrats have muddled things by helping too
much, and the republicans will be forced to take
up the big job of Strengthening out business in
America.

Brokes--Or Breok?

Government railroad control is now coming
into the limelight more and more. Our Mr..
McAdoo stood from under when he realized he
had bitten off more than he could chew. From
dividend-paying private enterprises the rail-
roads are becoming a liability of the country.
The latest figures available on the deficit since
the great railroad system of the United States
was placed under the control of Mr.. McAdoo is
SSl5O00O00. Where the end will be nobody
knows. Peoria is getting taste of what it
means.
For instance, the Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific used to work p engines in the local
yards. Now there are six, The Toledo, Peoria
& Western shops since 1870 have been in oper-
alton. They are to be closed, and of the 200 men
EMPLOYED there the expert mechanics, younger
IN age, are to be given jobs in other shops.
Presumably they will crowd out older men. At
any rate their going is forced upon them, and
the city will lose an almighty fine lot of citizens.
That they own their homes here, for the most
part and that it means forced sales and re-
moval Of families, or else the breaking up OF
homes. IS immaterial for the college profess
sors running things now figure the machinery
of the shops is obsolete, and in the interest OF
economy and efficiency the work is to be trans
ferred 10 West Burlington, la. And the older
men and iaborers are left jobless. The econ
omy and efficiency that thus increases the
army of idle men in the country is rotten.
And the extraordinary fact of trying to con-
vert the railroad system into a vast political
machine-for that is what it means-is only
eoualed BY the significance of the fact that
while wages have been advanced there is more
dissatisfaction with wage conditions than ever
before. The telegraph operator may be receiv-
~ twice what he did before the war, but he is
dissatisfied because the car "knocker about
the station, at rougher work and OF a lower
Grade. IS getting more than he. The car in
seeetor Is dissatisfied because the brakeman
Fefs bigger pay check, and the trainmen are
unhappy because, if the government hadn't
faken control, they might, through their power
mi unions, be getting even more than they do

and Lightning sped in the opposite
direction.
Down from the Arctic raced the
reindeer into the thickly settled
regions. And as they sped over the
cities, the jangling of the bells
brought many a curious youngster
rushing to the window. And to each
youngster Peggy shouted a message.
you are appointed an assistant
of Santa Claus. Help him fill his
pack for those who have less than

And as the reindeer galloped on,
Peggy saw that the message was re-
ceived with eagerness and with glad
ness. There were thousands upon
thousands of children who saw a
new Christmas joy coming to them,
the Joy that Santa Claus feels him
self, the joy of making others
happy. The big-hearted bachelors,
too, and the loving hearted unmar-
ried ladies, all set to work preparing
toys and gifts for Santa Claus's
pack.
After long time Peggy found that
her message and that of Billy Bel
GUM had gone far and wide. Tens
of thousands of willing helpers were
doing Santa Claus work.
Satisfied that she had done all she
could Peggy turned the reindeer to-
ward home. But even as she did so
there came great roaring protest

waiting for the toys she saw long
lines Of empty stockings. There
were not near enough toys to go

Peggy felt a touch of despair, but,
bravely set to work to make up the
shortage.
Right beside her she saw the
beautiful mansion of a rich man.
The rich man was at the window,
frowning sadly and bitterly at the
