The Patriotism OF Actors.

Leading managers are already sign
ing up theatrical men who have been
discharged from the service. This
profession has contributed literally to
the winning of the war, both by CIV
ing it's men to the army and navy, and
by volunteering it's professional serv-
ices to keep the morale of our men in
a thoroughly sound condition. When
soldiers had to be amused, the gov
eminent didn't need to hire actors.
Actors jumped at the chance to offer
their services Producers, too, gave
their time and their plants freely.
theatrical producers were among
The first to heed the call of the War
department to take back their serv-
ice meg. They signed up their former
employees as soon as they landed. The
publicity these men have obtained
during the war has enhanced their
value to their employers.
1t will not be long before Colonel
Arthur Woods, assistant to the secre-
tary of war, will be able to boast that
all discharged ~actor-soldiers are at
their civilian jobs.
Some of the actors. of the first and
second constellation. have gained
fame, medals and honorary titles for
their great work. No need to men
ton names, they are legion. They
were the first to go ove there and are
the last to leave. When they are ali
back, the American theater will be
able to sun its pre-war b~rilliancy,
Investigate a we'll established law
carefully before condemning It.

CHAPTER XVII.

The next morning quite early the
phone called Gordon to the onlcs
The chiefs secretary said the matter
was urgent.
He hurried away leaving Ceiia
somewhat anxious lest heir plans 1or
going to New York that day could no,
be carried out, but she made up heI
mind not to fret even If the trip nao
to be put off q little. and solaced her-
self with a short visit with her moth
eli e the telephone.
Gordon entered his chiefs ONCE d
trife anxiously, for he felt that IN JUS
time to his wife he ought to take her
right back to New York and get mat
tiers there adjusted; but he feared that
there would be business to hold him
at home until the Holman matter was
settled.
The chief greeted him affably and
babe him sit down.
Il am sorry to have called you up
SO early" he said, but we needed you.
The fact is, they've arrested Holman
and five other men. and you are in I'M
mediate demand to identify them.
Would it be asking too much of an al
ready overworked mar to e n you
back to New York today?"
Gordon almost spranG from his seat
in pleasure.
TT just exactly fits in with my plans,
or, rather my Wishes" he said, Nsmll..
ing. There are several matters OF
my own that I would like to attend TO
in New York and for which of course
did not have time"
He paused and looked at his CHER.
half h%esitating, m%arvelling that the
way had so miraculously opened for
him to keep silence a little longer on
the subject of his marriage. Perhaps
the chief need never be told that the
marriage ceremony took place on the
day Of the Holman dinner.
THAT is good" said the chief, smil-
ing. "You certainly have earned the
right to attend to your w affairs.
Then we need not feel so bad at hav-
ing to send you back. Can you go on
the afternoon train? Good! Then let
us hear your account of your trip
briefly, to see if there are any points
we didn't notice yesterday. But first
just step here a moment. l have
something to show you"
He flung open the door to the next
office.
You knew that Ferry had left the
department on account of his ill
health? I have taken the liberty Of
having your things moved in here.
This will hereafter be your headquar-
ters. and you will be mex to me in the
department"

REFORMING OUR NEIGHBORS

1t is quite in keeping with the tendencies of a certain
prohibition element in this country that a delegation Of
workers should have been sent to England to strengthen
true that the delegation, or commission, is welcomed in
England by a certain group of local workers in the same
cause. But there are indications that the results to be
attained by the mission will not be wholly satisfactory.
On the contrary, there have been numerous expressions
Of resentment on the other side by men and women who
have for many years been active and effective workers
in the cause of temperance, and who regard the visit of
foreigners, and their insistence on a foreign-made plan as
a piece of meddlesome impertinence.
While no serious consequences are to be anticipated,
it is a little unfortunate that an impression has been Gre
ated in England that the American prohibition mission
was sent by the American government. The British min
istry was asked on the floor of the house Of commons
the other day to state for the reinsurance of the public
connection with the American government. A cabinet
member dismissed the subject with the statement that he
considered such an assurance scarcely. necessary, and
there the matter rests, SO far as the government is con-
cerned. s"
This incident, however, and a number of others, in
dicates a more or less popular belief that the prohibition
mission is the official representative of the American gov
eminent. Entertaining that belief, the attitude Of the
British public, not merely to the subject of the commits
sion's end endeavors. but toward a foreign government
which would undertake. to NEEDLE in it's domestic af-
fairs can better be imagined than described.

PROTECTING THE MAILS

In commenting on the development in the Chicago
riots, an official of the postofice department declared
that under no circumstances would interference with the
handling of the mails be tolerated, and that if such a
thing were attempted the federal government would GER
tainly take a hand.
That attitude is, entirely proper, but why? There
has grown up a tradition that the mails are sacred. They
are, and should be. But what magic surrounds them to
make them SO, Merely. the fact that the carrying of the
mails is the governments business, and no government
that is worthy of the name can or will tolerate interior
ence with the performance of its work.
There are certain features of the mail service which
distinguish it in a measure from other activities. By
common consent the transmission of intelligence has been
given a place of first Importance and it has been because
of this estimate, and the distinction which has been made
the government undertook to perform this work itself,
and has continued to perform it, invariably at a financial
loss.
But the difference between the mail service and a
good many other things is, after all, merely one of de-
gree. The government will not permit Interference with
the mails. Why should it permit interference with the
shipment of a carload Of wheat or groceries, the move
nnent of which is also under government control and is
of the highest importance to those who are Immediately
Interested?
The protection of local trade and local activities gen.
orally is within the jurisdiction of the state rather than
the nation, and. while the state may not directly peddle
milk or manufacture shoes, it is nevertheless the states
duty to see that those who are engaged in these and other
lawful occupations are given complete protection from
all who would interfere with them.
So long as peaceful people anywhere are debarred
by force or intimidation from the performance of ,thier
work and the transaction Of their own business. the gov
eminent within whose jurisdiction they are is falling short
Of the performance Of its duty.

NO RACE TROUBLES THERE

In view of the distressing features of the race riots
in Chicago In which disorderly elements of two races are
pitted against each other, it is gratifying to learn that in
the same city there are cases where white men and black
men work together on terms Of friendship and mutual
respect An illustration of this has just been brought to
the attention of The Herald Men of both colors are en-
ployed as carriers in the local postal service. Some months
ago it was reported that a colored carrier was about to
be removed through some reorganization Of the force. 1t
appeared that according to the rules of seniority this man
should have retained his position and If a vacancy were
to be created. one Of the white carriers who had not been
SO long in the service should have been displaced. The
report that this public servant was to be subjected to an
injustice aroused the ire of his white fellow servants, and
the feeling among them was almost unanimous that if the
authorities persisted in the course which they were report
ed to have planned. they themselves would strike. AS a
result of expressions of this kind the black carrier was re-
tanned, and is now on Uncle Sans payroll earning his
money and respected by his fellow workers.

A story from Tulsa, Okla, has it that War Savings
Stamps are tremendously popular among the Indians who
have gotten rich; quick from oil wells discovered on their
properties. "Stick-'em-on"' competitions are popular
among the Indian Rockefelers who buy the $500 stamps
in sheets, arrange their cards neatly and start licking and
sticking at a pre-arranged signal. After all the stamps
had been stuck on during a recent contest the Indians
capped the field meet" by lining up and racing to the
postoffice to get the stamps registered. Alice smell-No-
Meat won the race and had his stamps registered first.
He pasted on $4s5 worth Of War Savings Stamps in six
minutes and fourteen seconds. His time to the postoffice
was sc seconds flat.
