THE BURLESON BLIGHT

Postmaster General BurlesOns attempt to defend the klnd OIL
postal service that the country has been receiving under ms regime Is
little short of insulting to an intelligent public.
The people, particularly the business men, know the condhuon
of the post Office department better than MIR. Burleson does.
They have personal experience every day.

o'clock Saturday night until 8 O'Clock Monday afternoon Tor a news
letter sent by the EVENING NEWS correspondent at Trenton to reach
this office only this week. Every man one meets has a similar experl-
ence almost daily.
MI. Burleson can talk himself blue in the face telling OF the good
services being rendered by his department., but he cannot force men 10
disbelieve actual experience.
One of the causes for such poor service is the defiant attitude OF
the postmaster general and his refusal to listen to anything contrary
10 his own views. -. =.
For instance, in attempting to answer the critics II his admins
tration of the Post Office Department he says, In reference TO the
rheumatic tubes in cities and the second class mail rate: :,

Of course it is useless to complain or attempt to argue with such
bullheadedness.
We understand that there is a movement on foot at Washington

One thing is certain, business can never resume its normal condf
ton as long as the Bureson blight is east over the mail service.

This was the slogan adopted by
the Suicide Squadron" which plant

rage which shared the deadly U-boats
in their dens and helped win the war.
The remarkable achievement OF
Igetting the mines ready for hurried
shipment was told in a previous Ma
tional Geographic Society bulletin by
ICapt. Reginald r. Belknap, u. s. N,
| who had charge Of the operations,
and in a second bulletin he describes
1.-THE hair-raising episodes and almost
unbelievable speed with which the
mines were planted.
On one Of the joint excursions OF
british and American ships, ten
american ships planted $500 mines,
the four British ships planting 1900,
making q total of $3.50 planted in
four hours. That was the record for

areas where it was necessary to
search for mines constantly, and we
would come frequently in the regular

No matter what way !. finally adopted to place the state IN a
position to go before the federal government and announce its readi-
ness to proceed with its part of the construction of the ship canal
across New Jersey, something ought to be done by the legislature be-
fore it adjourns.
The ship canal project has been hanging fire for several years.
10th political parties are on record in favor Of it; the people realize
its advantages. It only awaits someone to go ahead with the move
Nent.
The federal government waits for New Jersey TO complete its
part, and the state, apparently, waits for the federal government to
proceed before securing the right of way.
Assemblyman Young, of Monmouth county, backed by Assem-
blyman DeVoe, of Middesex, is making a determined effort to get New
Jersey to act without further delay. The project is also strongly adj
vocated by Assemblyman Warner, of Union county.
Every year the legislature seems to have money enough for
nearly everything else excepting this Improvement. Yet there is moth
ing that means more to the state as a whole in the way Of producing
revenue.
It is time to stop talking and actually do something that win
bring results.

DISGRACE TO THE STATE

The scandal growing out of the misuse of a railroad pass belong
ing to Assemblyman Simpson by Secretary Burdiek, of the State Box
ing Commission, only tends to emphasize the character of the men who
make up this state board. Not only did Secretary Burdick attempt
TO deceive the railroad company by representing himself to be an as
semblyman, but John S. Smith, the president of the board, deliberately
lied when he vouched for Burdick being an a~ssembyman whenthe lat
ter was questioned by the conductor.
Yet these two men have had the efrontery to carry on an active
lobby at Trenton during the present session of the legislature in an eff
fort to secure fat salaries for themselves. Smith wants $500 a
year and so did Burdick, while the other commissioners want $4,000
each.
This boxing commission has been a disgrace to the state ever since
it was established.
The latest scandal is the limit.
AS a result of the outrage Burdck has been ousted by the COM
mission under pressure from Governor Edge and State Comptroller
Bugbee-The entire commission should be retired. At least Smith,
who shared in Burdicks disgrace ought to go. If the state must
have a boxing commission let it be made up of decent, upright men.

But all the sounds re sweet -and smooth, and they unite to heal

hear the honest watchdog bark as he attempts to leave his mark
upon the agile cats; I hear the bearded farmer swear while currying
