A WRECKED SERVICE.
The Post ONCE Appeals in Vain for
Recruits for It's Work.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sr: In
connection with your editorial article on
the Postmaster-Genera Mr.. Burleson
in his speech ignored the employees in
the postal service.
BY his harsh and niggardly policy he
has about wrecked the personnel OF the
post office. He has failed to recognize
the straitened circumstances In which
the war and high cost Of living have
placed them. Mr. Burleson has not asked
Congress for relief in their behalf. On
the other hand he has consistently op-
posed bills introduced in Congress for
their relief. He has carried this policy
to such an extent that the condition of
the postal employees Is such II IL now a
hard matter to obtain men.

II, just like corn at $40 to 81 a
bushel instead of so cents, wheat at
1929 Instead Of 90 cents, and labor at
an average Of "a a day instead Of So.
But by very reason OF these circum-
stances 1t Is one thing to talk about
cutting down all Government ex-
penses; It is quite another to do any
thing but talk about 1t.
The Governments dollar isn't worth
any more than anybody elses dollar.
With Its deprecated dollar the Gov.
ernment goes to market to buy what
It needs In the same predicament as
any Tom, Dick or Harry. The Gov
ernment has to pay twice as much for
its coal as 1t paid before. The Gov
ernment has to pay twice as much for
It's steel as It paid before. The Gov
ernment has to pay twice as much for
the uniforms OF Its Army and Navy
as It paid before, twice as much for
the provisions II feeds to Its soldiers
and sailors, twice as much for all Its
equipment and supplies.
II the Government can no longer
buy anything on the basis of a whole
dollar with 100 cents Of. purchasing
power, Just as the Governments EN-.
ployees can no longer buy their neces.
saries-the Cabinet member and the
military officer, the diplomat and the
bureau chief. the clerk and the letter
carrier all crying out that what they
receive from the Treasury will not
now pay the butcher. the baker and
the candlestick maker the way tho
salaries expressed in the old dollar
did-lf the Government can no longer
count Its dollar rs 100 cents old style,
then many of Its expenses will not 60
down; the taxes to cover them will
stay up.
Meanwhile the agitation goes on for
more and more wages but less and
less production. But there Is only
one way to get down the living cost
alike Of the Government and of the
public. It is to stay on a Job instead
of striking. 1t is to work instead Of
idllng. It is to increase production
instead Of decreasing production.
The Government can cut of waste,
the Government can get rid Of use
less officeholders, the Government can
pare even essential expenditures to
the bone; but the Government hasn't
a chance on earth to haul down its or
dinary expenses until the general cost
Of living comes down.. And the gen.
eral cost Of living hasn't chance on
earth to come down as long as it is
inflated, reinflated and superinfated
by a declining production for which
the producers In a very mania Of self
impoverishment 60 on demanding an
ascending pay and 60 on getting 1t.
If the American people cannot see
this fundamental truth, and II they
do not act on It, they are going to pitch
themselves headlong over an eco
nomic precipice.

by all who know me as q practical
farmer, one who knows how to grow
crops and knows their quality after hav-

perlance OF a city farmer.
Within the last two weeks I have
shipped on commission TO New York city
about 400 hampers Of lettuce, good let

quotation as high as 80 q hamper. Mine
sold for 2b cents hamper, the empty
hampers costing me 20 cents each by car
lots. It easily cost me 90 cents hamper
to grow this lettuce.
I have shipped onions in 100 pound
bags to New York city on commission In
the month OF September which sold for
81 bag and never over s2.25, netting
in the 81 Instance about 43 cents

pense Is as follows: Express. 25 cents

Potatoes tell practically the same
story. The best we can get in the mar
kets is $40. and fully 60 per cent are
retting in the ground, bringing the price
down to about 70 cents.
Now the fact is the farmers have not
received any more, and in many cases
much less, for their produce than before
the war. and fertilizer Is $40 and much
poorer than when we paid sac for It,

The farmers are willing to look at this
issue of lower prices squarely and work
long hours, but warn the public that
unless conditions change some OF the
high priced factory workers will be hunt

and il they are forced to produce their

Senator Williams Has . Great His
tor ical Task.

We trust that the speech delivered
In the Senate on Thursday by JOHN
SHARP WILLIAMS was only the flrsi
of a series by the Mlsslssippian on the
civil war, the North and Ireland. Sen
ator WILLIAMS made plain in his ora
ton only few salient facts:
1. That the South, having failed to
get for itself what he calls self-de.
termination (for the white to own
the black, for instance), must be con.
sistently against the self-determina-
ton of other peoples, no matter what
inspires their ambition.
2. That the civil war was won by
the men Of "Iowa, Wisconsin. Michi-
gan, Illinois, Ohio and Indiana" This
disposes Of the popular superstition,
shared in by records Of the war, that
another group of States, composed of
New England, New York and Penn
sblvania, sent to the front more men
than were provided in the magnificent
contribution Of a million soldiers by
the six States which Mr.. WILLIAMS
names.
3. That the Irish as fighters have
been a myth except Of course when
they were fighting for the South, when
they were among the "noblest, brav-
est and best soldiers Senator WILL
IAMs ever knew.
In speeches to come Mr.. WILLIAMS
should clarity history by making evl.
dent the following:
1. That the South supported the
continuation Of slavery only to save
the negro from the notorious perils
Of education and prosperity.
2. That MEAaHEn's Brigade was
made up entirely Of Jugo-Slavs and
Esthonians; that SHERIDAN came Of
the purest Hungarian blood and that
CoRcoRAN was Swede.
8. That st. PATRICK spent his whole
life in Madagascar, converted its in.
habitants to paganism and introduced
snakes into the island.

HITCHCOCK frequently appealed to him

SubcOnscl0us Frrors.

Capturing the realms Of psychol-
ogy Is one of the new enterprises
that the peace negotiations have
opened up to rival statesmen. Among
intellectual exports from Germany
was the philosophy Of the subcon-
scious. but just what the subconscious
mind is was not made clear. Now
the appearance of a book on psyche
analysis by Miss NJ. X. bradley OF
Cambridge, England, opens up curl
GUS and fascinating system of self.
examination which every one may set
about without worrying himself as to
the state Of his nerves. Its revelations
are as unexpected as they are often
amusing in the disclosure Of the un-
conscious motives by which we are in
fluenced in important as we'll as in
trivial actions.
This new branch of mental science
is another means of understanding
mistakes which men make In such
simple matters as adding up figures
or in the wording Of letter or In
sending out an unsigned dictation. A
study of these subconscious errors
will be found to throw light upon hui
man motives In general and especially
to elucidate obscure and puzzling
chapters in the psychology of indi-
yiduals. Thus "in speech from the
unconscious" writes Miss BRADBY,
zone may produce words and phrases
and even a whole discourse without
knowing what one is saying" And
again: Speech Of this kind proceed
ing from levels of the mind which re-
main unconscious is uttered by peo-
pie when intoxicated with emotion, in
short, when the speaker Is beside him.
self, beyond or beneath himself"
But what Is the subconscious mind
Though some have doubted it's exist
ence, the phenomena of dreams and of
hypnotism seem to establish its re !
ity, and Its workings have been expert
mentally demonstrated by the late Sir
WILLIAM CRooKEs and historically
and critically by ANDREW LANG In his
mysteries of History" AS these ana
lytical studies are intended to super
sede hypnotism 1t may be we'll to
explain that the principle of hypnotic
analysis Is to suggest to the patient
some idea antagonistic to the morbid
idea which Is In possession. But the
new method Of analysis of the sub
conscious does not, like hypnotism
seek to antagonize the morbid Idea
but to discover 1t and to disclose it to
the patient. The explanation is the
cure itself. 1t is as If wise mediator
removed the estrangement of two
friends by accounting for their mis-.
understanding. Another mover feature
is that there is always some uncon-
scious repressive motive which hinders
normal action and gives rise to NOR.
bid activities.
Political hysteria, for example,
which covers the greater number of
unconscious disorders, this method
explains as the oblique or indirect
manifestation Of a thwarted desire.
