SUBSCRIPTION RATES

perhaps been dictatorial and a
blunderer. He is widely criti-
cised and possibly he should
be removed. a
On the other hand large
amount of the Burleson criti-
cism comes from those on
whoes toes the postmaster
general has stepped in the just
performance of his duty. For
instance, he is censored by ma
gazines and some newspapers
for the zone system of charg-
ing for second class mail mat
ter. But the zone system is
right; it is the fair and busi-
nesslike way to fix such
charges. Complaints to the
contrary come from publishers
who object to playing fair with
the government or from parties
who do not understand the
facts.
Again Burleson is criticised
in some quarters with having
been the man who put over ma
tional prohibition. 1t is signi-
ficant that one of the New
York papers most angered
over the dry amendment is
most violent in assailing Burle-
son. The fact raises a question
as to the motives of those max
ing such attacks.
Charges of incompetent SER
vice laid at the door of Burle-
son may or may not be just.
Almost every line of business
or industry faced more or less
disruption during the war.
Whether the postal department
has be en- unnecessarily
bad-you are as able to judge
as anyone else.
Burleson may be incompe-
tent but the fact he is harshly
criticised does not prove the
point. Sometimes the best Of
ficial will be the most assailed.

THE LEAGUE COVENANT

m F there rs encouragement
III because of the trouble
with Italy it is more than
offset by the adoption of the
League of Nations covenant by
the peace conference yester-
day. The action assures that
the League of Nations will be a
part of the peace treaty and
the final ratification of that
treaty by the requisite number
of nations is a foregoing con-
clusion.
We are to have a machine
that will prevent wars and as
sure justice among the nations.
With the League of Nations
working a country will not
have to go armed to the teeth.
There will be a higher power
to enforce respect for its rights.
Whether intended as such
or not the adoption of the
League of Nations covenant is
the best answer possible to
Italy's display of temper.

EXCUSING is ACCUSING

I'm France, battle-ground for
world freedom, there is a
~ maxim that should be
learned by every American citi-
zen. 1t should be memorized
in French or in English Each
American citizen should re-
peat it before meals and at bed
time until the close of the Vic
tory Liberty Loan.
In French this maxim is:
"Qui s'excuse s'accuse."
In English:
"Who excuses himself ac-
cuses himself"
Perhaps the maxim is no
better expressed in French
than in English. But the
French people, who have fur
nished the world a great eX-
ample in patriotism, give more
weight to this sentiment than
do we Americans.
Americans are a free people
Especially are they prone tc
be free with excuses. We have
been a very Independent peo,
pie in thinking and in acting
thanks to the democratic form
of our government.
But if ever there was a time
when excuses should be laio
aside it is during the Victory

ThesInvisible Conflict

Frem the moment of birth
and before-until the hour of
dcath, there is going on within
the body q constant conflict,
unseen and usually unfelt, be-
tween forces that seek to de-
fend, and Others that strive to
destroy. WAX
Germs that enter from without
are attacked and destroyed by
the living guardisss in the
blood, the white blood cells or
;,haeocytes. Poisons generated
within seek entrance into the
blood and are removed or de-
stroyed by the functions of the
intestines, liver and kidneys.
Food waste allowed to staenate
and remain in the intestines,
unevacuated, poisons the blood
and destroys its power to de-
fend against outside or inside
enemies. Such self-poisoning
causes over 909o of human
illness. sasS Sxsss ss~aass'
Constipation turns the tide of
the invisible conflict against
the body, in favor of the in
vaders. Nor does the taking
of castor oil, pills, salts, min
