OLD BURLEY CRAWLs DOWN.

After receiving a severe drubbing at the
hands Of the press and the public, Postmaster
General Burleson has announced that he has
Recommended to President Wilson that all tele-
phone and telegraph lines be returned to their
private owners as soon as Congress can enact legis-
latiOn necessary"
So inch by inch the old tycoon of withered
plumage is climbing down from his pedestal, slow
ly but surely.
He was lambasted so much that he could not
that the government return the cable lines to their
respective owners, giving as his reasons that the
congestion resulting from war conditions no
longer exist, and that the uses of the cable in con-
nection with the peace conference have been
greatly diminished"
The Postmaster General, perhaps, heard of
the recent decision of the Mississippi Supreme
Court, in which he was routed horse, foot and
lragoon on his Cumberland Telephone and Tele-
graph case, with other cases pending in several
States. He may have heard of Ross Collins, and
his passion to enjoin corporations for running
rough shod over the people, and having a suspi-
cion that he had set the other Attorney Generals
a bad example, which they might be silly enough
to undertake to follow. $.
The old pugnacious Postmaster General has
climbed down two flights; he recommends the re-
turn to their owners of telegraph and telephone
lines, and will recommend to the President that
the cables should also be returned to their respec-
tive owners.
He was lambasted so niue hthat he could not
decline to do less. Now he has two other things
yet to do, to recommend just treatmen to pub
fishers by the government and then resign.
Old Burley is moving, but hardly fast
enough; still he is going, and once you get a
fellow sliding down the hill he cannot stop till he
reaches the bottom. The P. M. G. is donnmed, and
unless he is as blind as a bat he should be able to
see the handwriting on the wall.-Jackson Clar-
ion-Ledger.

FRIERsoN FOR LIEUT.. GOVERNOR.

hon. John frlerson has announced as a can
didate for the office Of 1t. Governor of Missis-
sippi. In entering the race Mr.. Frierson has de-
liberated well before making the final decision.
Expressions of confidence have come to him from
all parts of the State and loyal friends who have
known him for years have proffered their tender
OF support. That he will at once become a strong
factor in the race all who know the personality
of the man do not doubt.
Mr.. Frierson is one of the States strongest
ablest and best legislators, with a statewide ac-
qualntance, with a large experience in lawmakinp
and with an adequate knowledge of parliamentary
law and legislative usage absolutely essential to
successfully fill the position to which he aspires.
All of his legal and political career has been clean
and honorable and useful. He has pursued the
ideal of conscientious duty, even though it carried
him into unpopular paths and alienated him from
a majority of his fellow men. Through it all no
man has ever questioned his honesty or sincerity
or the courage or conscientiousness of his course.
He has fought for his convictions long enough to
see some OF the standards he has advocated tri-
umph and he has the satisfaction of knowing his
efforts have brought about these wholesome re-
suits. 1t is this fact which makes him a popular
and promising figure in the political thought of
the State at the present time and it is because of
his record that he will be so loyalty supported for
the honorable office he seeks.
Mr.. Erierson can be counted an asset to the
cltlzenshlp OF any community. He is foremost in
all CIVIC and patriotic moves. His voice and ener-
gies have been generously expended in behalf of
his country during the crisis through which it has
gone. He has proven a wise leader, a safe coun-
selor, a trusted friend. His record has been all
that the times have demanded of men, and his
fellow citizens. feel a large sense Of appreciation
for what he has done.
Columbus presents him to the people of the
State as worthy of the honor he seeks, as worthy
OF the city and section he represents, as rejecting
all that is best and noblest and truest in a man.
The Dispatch hoists aloft his name at our mast
head with every tender of our support and every
wish for his Dispatch.

KIPLING.
A new collection al

A new collection of poems by. Rudyard Kipling
is no small event wherever English speech lives in
the mouths of men. Perhaps it is hard to be cool
in assessment of any book from Mr. kipling's
hand, for behind the printed page We see the vivid
face and spirit of the man, the fire and force of
that amazing personality that took the world by
storm thirty years ago and has held us in thrall
ever since. A virtue goes out of him, a terse,
hard-ipped power that makes every word his own,
stamped with his image. But even to the most
dispassioned eye Mr.. Kipling's new Volume, THE
Years Between shows him still the supreme
spokesman of his race. His subtle gift of voicing
racial instincts and ideals shows itself in acid
simplicity. And it is curiously vivid testimony
to the lasting character of his work that several
poems, now first put into a book, have already
become flesh of our common human speech. One
has only to mention, for instance, THE Sons of
Martha" and "The Female Of the Species" To
our way of thinking he has never done a finer
thing than "A Recantation,' a nobly restrained trib-
ute to a London music-ha1l star. Kipling's son,
lost in the war, loved her audacious minstrelsy,
and his heart-searching ode tells how, when the
news reached her that her own boy had gone also,
she set grief aside to face the footlights with a
jest. This consummate little poem, phrased in
simplicity, breathes the very accent of
old Rome in every syllable. It is the living flame
of genius: no other man writing English could
have done it.-Collier's National Weekly.
