ADDING INJURY TO INSULT

Because postmen have scrupulously
kept out of politice in the past the
Government pays them about hall
what they earn.
When they and their friends point
out that their wages are pitifully in
adequate to their ability. and equally
inadequate to their needs, they are
given an advance Of few dollars o
year.
And now when the Presidential cam
paign is on. they are sternly forbidden
to take any part in politics whatever.
No more arrogant, no more un-
American order than this has ever
been issued by a department official.
Postmen. like Cabinet officers. are
citizens. and presumably have the
right Of citizens to vote according 10
their own interests.
The Postmaster General. from whose
office this impudent order was issued.
is the busiest politician in the Cabinet.
He has just returned from San
Francisco, where he worked eighteen
didate for the Democratic nomination
for the Presidency. His candidate
incidentally. was defeated.
he mas ptt0 since HIS AHCuilOttlCN
of his Office in politics constantly,
and unless he experiences an amazing
change of heart he will be In politics
through the entire campaig-.
Yet this gentleman. who IS as much
an employe OF the Post ONCE Depart
ment as amy letter carrier. brazenly
forbids any men under him to engage
IN politics. And every letter carrier
knows that q violation of this order
Is extremely iikeiv 10 cost him his ioh.
OF course. If the policy Of the ad-
and Of Congress toward
the postmen Is continued, most OF
them will quit their places anyway,
80 the order is not as much of hard
ship as II looks.
II Is nevertheless an unwsrTanted
neddiing with the rights Of acitizen,
who, unable to get justice from one
administration, naturally desires to do
III he can to put a more efficient ad-
in office.
We do not know to what extent il
will be nbeyed. but that is beside the |
point. The order itself is the sort OF
,rder that might we'll be issued by |
IN absolute monarchy. but which |
should not be tolerated in a republic. |
If postmen in the past had been as /
.ctive in politice as Cabinet officers .
hey would not now need to ask out |
iide help to get them living wages |
rom the Government.
