Washington, Aug. 1.-THE situation
in regard to the striking railroad em
ployes became so serious today that
President Wilson took personal
charge of the negotiations and, after
long conference with Director Gen.
eral of Railroads Hines. wrote a
communication to the latter, in which
he authorized Mr. Hines to proceed
with the question of wage ADJUST
ments. through the authorized nation
al representatives of the employees
but only in the event that the en-
ployes now ON strike returned to
their work
The Presidents communication was
sent at once to B. NJ. Jewell. Acting
President Of the Railway Employees
Department of the American Fedora
tiion of Labor, along with letter in
which Mr.. Hines urged upon Mr. Jew.
ell the necessity for immediate ac-
ton on the lines suggested by Presi-
dent Hilson. Upon the receipt of these
statements Mr.. Jewell called together
a number of the officers of the rail-
way employees organizations and draf-
ted an announcement, including the
Presidents communication and the
message from Mr. Hines, which was
sent out to the local organizations in
all parts of the nation.
Action on the part of the President

There was considerable delay in
authorizing the Farms for Sale
book, to be issued by the commits
sioner of agriculture according to
No Is of the Acts of 1919, the board
believing that such publication
should not parallel or duplicate the
farm publication issued by the pub
licity department of the office of sec
retary of state. This will probably
delay the publication of the book a
little beyond August 1st, the time
fixed by the legislature for the pub
lication of this book.

Burleson National Liability.


Taking the record of the last six years, the Burleson appoint
ment, on the whole, has proved the most unfortunate that the Presi-
dent ever made-unfortunate for Mr.. Wilson himself, unfortunate for
his administration, unfortunate for the democratic party and unfor-
tunatc for the country. Mr.. Bryan wa a sorry mis6t as secretary of
state, but Mr.. Bryans selection was inevitable, and in naming him
Mr.. Wilson followed the political traditions of the country. More
over, Mr. Bryan's opportunities for mischief were narrowly circum-
scrbed, because Mr.. Wilson, in reality, was his own secretary of state
and decided all questions Of policy. There have been no such re.
straints upon MI. Burleson. He has roamed at large, been allowed to
administer. his office in his own amazing way, and the consequences
are appalling.
Instead of being q link between the, President and congress, he
has been a source Of continuing contention Disliked and. dstrusted
at the capitol, he has made the Presidents relations with congress
more difficult. As a political adviser to the President he has been a
democratic tragedy. If there has been any instance in which Mr..
Wilson has. not involved himself in trouble by taking counsel of AL
bert Sidney Bureson, we should like to know when it happened.
These are minor matters, however. It is with Mr.. Burleson az
postmaster general that the country is chiefly concerned, and as post
master general Mr.. Burleson is a national liability. The postofice de.
partment was bad enough when he took hold; under his management
it has steadily deteriorated. The war gave the telegraph and tee-
phone service into his hands, and the blight of Burlesonism has now
fallen upon all the agencies of communication. We doubt if there is
a single business, a single industry, q single activity, that is not a
victim of the Burleson system of administration.
Had the postmaster general set out deliberately to discredit gov
eminent ownership and operation of public utilities he could not have
been more successful in his undertaking.
But in the meantime the American people have to pay for all
this laundering Incompetence, and the longer that President Wilson
keeps Mr.. BuresOn in office. the more difficult he makes his own
great task. Probably t~wothirds Of the popular opposition to the
President, disregarding that which is the conventional antagonist Of
blind, unreas0nng partisanship, is the direct product of Burlesonism,
and Mr.. Wilson could render no greater service to himself than to
get rid of his postmaster general.

Do You Know?
From Better Farming.

While some of us are whining about the dolorous fates which
beset us; whining about the lawful fall down. of our vast govern
mental enterprises; whining abut the terrific depletion of human life
without end, etc while you hear this ding dong
DO YOU know that there has never been a time in the worlds
history when there was so much genuine religion expressed in terms
OF goodness and generosity and self sacrifice as there is today?
do YOU know that i'll the expenditure. of about $2O,000O00O00
IN the last two years there has thus far been proved not one single
instance of deliberate collusive dishonesty in any branch OF the gov
ernmcnt nor in army or navy, nor any colossal blunder of administra-
tive o L military or navy officers?
DO YOU know that America S net increase in wealth since the
world war started is nearly three times what the war will cost us?
DO YOU know that we have approximately $lOOOOOO0O00 Of
foreign credit due us which w e will collect about S500O00O00 a
year interest?
DO YOU know that our national gold reserve is above $2,0 0OOO0-
600, almost four times that of either Britain, France or Germany, and
about equal to the combined gold reserve of the six big nations of the
world!
DO YOU know that in the last eight months American exports
have doubled and that America now has ships, her very own, to carry
these exports to the seven scasi
Do YOU know that the influenza epidemic in six months took
more human lives in these United States than the war took in IL,
even counting those seriously woundedi
Do YOU know that it is disgraceful, unpatriotic and wicked to
bellyache and whine in these inspirational hours of historyi
We have made a great investment in human welfare. 1t has cost
money and blood. The blood was precious and dear. The money
was cheap. We will recover it a hundredfold. We have in fact re-
covered it already in bigger trade and better prices.
Nevertheless, before the next Liberty loan is gathered-the last
loan, the Victory loan-we will hear the voice of the growler. His
will be a muflcd voice. however. He will scarcely dare speak aloud
his rebellion. The blood of the BATTLEFIELD will rcbuke him.
