son the money with which to estah-
lish an airplane mail service between
the principal cities. It voted him 200
machines, but it decided that his
scheme for civilian operation of the
service would not do; the report of
the army air service officer who 1e-
Gently resigned as director of air
plane mail service was convincing
that Burleson had put lot of inco1n-
petent men in charge, and that he
would probably waste the money. So
the house voted to compel Burleson
to employ army aviators to operate
the machines for the coming year.
How President Wilson has been
fooled by Burleson for so long, and
why the Texas landlord has not been
thrown bodily out of the position, he
holds, is mystery to three-fourths
of the Democrats in the national cap
ital. Certainly Burleson is the big
gest black eye ever handed to the
cause of public ownership in the
United States.
