ADDING INJURY TO INSULT

Because postmen have scrupulously
kept out of politics in the past the
Government pays them about half
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 a
year.
And now, when Presidential cam
paign is on, they are sternly forbidden
to take any part in politics whatever.
No more arrogant, no more UNI
American order than this has ever
been issued by department official.
Postmen, like Cabinet officers, are
citizens, and presumably have the
right of citizens to vote according to
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
hours day in the interests of can
didate for the Democratic nomination
for the Presidency. His candidate,
incidentally, was defeated.
He has been, since his incumbency
of his office, in politics constantly,
and unless he experiences an amaz-
ing change of heart he will be in pol
itics through the entire campaign.
Yet this gentleman, who is as much
an employee of the Post Office Depart
ment as any letter carrier, brazenly
forbids any men under him to engage
in politics. And every letter carrier
knows that a violation of this order
is extremely likely to cost him his job.
Of course, if the policy of the ad-
ministration and of Congress toward
the postmen is continued, most of
them will quit their places anyway,
so the order is not as much of hard
ship as it looks.
It is nevertheless an unwarranted
meddling with the rights of citizen,
who, unable to get justice from one
administration, naturally desires to do
all he can to put more efficient ad-
ministration in office.
We do not know to what extent it
will be obeyed. But that is beside the
point. The order itself is the sort Of
order that might well be issued by an
absolute monarchy, but which should
not be tolerated in a republic.
II postmen in the past had been as
active in politics as Cabinet officers
they would not now need to ask out
side help to get them living wages
from the Government.

HARDING FILLS BILL
New York Der Amerikaner)

Senator Harding is a man with a
clear head and moderate views, liberal
and genial in his intercourse with
people and enjoys the full confidence
of all those who come in contact with
him. His experience in Washington
as law-maker places him in the same
rank with two of his predecessor
both of whom were also Ohioans-
Benjamin Harrison and William Nc
Kinley, who had less difficulty with
Congress than any of the other Presi-
dents of recent times. A man who
has himself spent years in Congress
knows how to get along with the
Legislative Branch and to respect it's
rights and prerogatives. A presi-
dent like Mr.. Harding would have
acted at the end of the World War
as President Mckinley acted after the
Spanish War; he would have had a
few prominent Senators as members
of the Peace Commission and treaty
which they would bring back, would
have been ratified by the Senate with
in few weeks.
The country has had enough of the
infexibility or the obstinacy which
President Wilson has shown in his
relations with the Senate, and has, on
the other hand, had more than enough
of the weakness which he has shown
when he came to Europe to take the
teeth out of his fourteen points. The
whole world is tired out and starved
and needs nothing so much as peace,
quiet and confidence in internal as
we'll as external matters; she needs
to recuperate through the only means
possible to save her - work and
credit. Order must be restored in the
United States.
If the report of the conference be-
tween Cox and Wilson is correct, it
makes clear the fact that Cox would
have been a good cabinet man for
Wilson. He was entirely submissive
to executive suggestion.-Council
Bluffs Qowa) Nonpareil.
Tammany must not, cannot, will
not be allowed to control the next ad-
ministration. The work to be done
in the next four years is Tar TOO I'M
portant to be trusted to any man or
any set of men who hold to such the:
cries of government. The Tammany
Tiger will never get to the White
House, nor will Cox, the man the
Tiger Observation-Disclosures Ameri-
can.
Before he ever dreamed of being
the standard-bearer of his party, Can
didate Harding said Tin a speech be-
fore the Ohio Society, New York City,
January 6, 1920: Safeguard Am
erica first; stabilize America first;
prosper America first; think of Am
erica first; exalt America first; live
for and revere America first" Now
you understand why the party of
Protection nominated Warren G.
Harding for President.
