KING OF THE MINsTRELsp

Throughout the whole length and breadth of the country there will be ex- pressions of sincere regret at the death of Al C.. Field so long and so promi- nentiy identified with the big minstrel players. Even though the minstrel show appears to be fast fading away, a form of entertainment associated with years that are gone, there are plenty who have found the keenest enjoyment in any eve ming of such amusement and even -up to withinfa few years a seasons programme was. not considered complete without a minstrel show. About the only remin- der now of; the old time minstreisa is the amateur performance which pleases even though it differs
 Al G. Fields was numbered among the leaders in his line Of entertainment That he should lay claim toF the title of king of the big minstrels" was only the natural result of his ability and con- ditions There was time when there was warm rivalry in the minstrel field and it was during that period that Field was at his best and won his stage lau- rels. His career brings to mind of course such familiar names as George Primrose blIlyt west, I1eiiTy dIQ Lew OOCh- stader with other celebrities whose ef forts have furnished more melody and humor to the square inch than any othel class of stage productions
 But times have changed, just the same as the minstrel shows changed. Effort! to outdo nrevious shows were constan when many minstrel troupes. were com peting but as rivalry, died out and tn number, decreased the return of the sam old show and in some cases some of tn same old jokes never failed to make al appeal to that large element. that insist
 ed upon, seeing, a minstrel show if the, never attended anything else.
 The passing of Al Field comes at
 time when the type of show in which h had made himself famous has all but dis
 appeared and many are the regrets a the passing of both.

FOR VETERANS, RELIEF,

Investigation concerning the condition h the veterans of the world war, par dcularly those who are disabled by sick ness or injury, was set in motion be- cause it was believed that there were conditions which needed to be relieved, because of the evidence that was pos sessed to the effect that improper atten- ton was being directed to such and a long standing realization that there were bureaus connected with the work that had not measured up to the efficient standard that should be expected as a government service.
 In naming the board to carry on this work President Harding called for a dili- gent inquiry and it was apparent that it vas to be pursued with view to getting sarly results as~well as with care, and thus the quick statement of conditions md the recommendations are gratifying and quite in contrast to some inquiries which have been made.
 In the report of the committee, headed by Charles G. Dawes the problems as revealed prompts the recommendation for he placing of all the bureaus now en- gagged in soldierS care under one head
 
 lirectly responsible to the president and not under any other department
 That the committee found cenfiictine laws which served to handicap the ser, Fice substantiates the claims that have seeH repeatedly made that the service Eas suffering from too much red taDe md no way apparently of overcoming The Inconsistencies. The removal of sucr $ highly desirable and the report comes It time when it should be possible tc rive the situation early attention durine The coming session of congress. That he president will have something to sax regarding 1t is to be expected.
 When the president is told that no cab met officer should be burdened with the susgested new service it is a reconmen datien that will probably get proper con sideration and should it be a fact tha director general outside the cabinet f decided upon it cannot help being fel that Chairman Dawes would be an excel lent man for that very place.

AMBASSADOR TO FRANCE.

It is not to be expected that this gov- ernment would undertake to send as ana- oassador to France a man who was not acceptable to that country Thus when word comes to the effect that Myron T. aerrick will be welcomed as our repre- tentative there Is of course no surprise. The post Is not new one for MT. Her -ck. He held 1t before and at the open- Ing of the great war and France well knows the man who is to be returned there.
 Few other names had been mentioned As possibilities for that post, and those were mentioned in much the same way that cabinet possibilities were. It was figured that their services would be sought by the government and it was fig pred that some such appointment might be expected. But MT. Herrfck has been Considered they very man that the coun- try needs at Paris. He has indicated that he will accept the appointment when 1t comes and he of course carries most valuable experience to the job.

BErTERING MAIL SERVICE.

Betterment of the postal service is one of the things for which the country has been clamering for years. Instead of getting better under the last adrninis- tration it was as the result of the poli- cies put into effect by MT. Burleson that the bulk of the criticism arose. Knowing the conditions that have existed and the demand for an improvement Postmaster General Hays has set about his task in 9 way that gives grounds for. believing that desired results will be obtained.
 He has called for the cooperation of the department employees and placed due stress upon that necessary relationship between employees and officials and now he is setting about the job of getting CO., operation from those who seek and ex- pect service. In calling upon the pub lie, and particularly the large users of tho mails, to mail their matter when ready at various times throughout the day instead of waiting until late in the afternoon and depositing it all at one time, he makes the same plea that his predecessor did. But there is this differ enee Instead of first asking the public to render this cooperation he has it put into effect by the various government de- partments and is able to show that as the result of the mailing of the large volume of letters, cards and other mat ter throughout the day instead of be, tween four and seven in the afternoon it has been possible to expedite the distri- button and despatch of the mails in Washington where more than three-auar- ters of it originates from government sources
 The result of this is to avoid the con- gestion caused by the pouring in of the days mail at one time when it wal pos- sible to deposit it at frequent intervals and the result is that the mail is on its way hours before 1t was previously 1 touched,
 Thus the government through the ef. forts of the postmaster general has se4 an example that cannot fail to make it. appeal to other users of the mail whe can get through personal cooperation | similar benefits, such being particularly true in the large offices where the habi appears to be to get the bulk of the mai
 matter to the postofices in the late af
 ternoon. Instead of going at it back
 ward as MT. Burleson did MT Hays get
 the government departments into actiol
 in manner that will inspire the countr, to similar effort

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
No AntI-TobacOO Campairn.

Mir, Editor: May I. through The Bal. letin, address the following to my sts- ters tn the W. c. T. uf
 While l deeply deplore the extsmt n which the eommands of God are being ignored and eur Sabbath desecTatsd. dc feel that the present Is net the tsms to make it an issue, while we are striving and struggling so faithfully and hard te get the upper hand of the rum traffic. We have not as yet accomplished that enormeus problem that we are bo1Rd to solve. It is still holding us n de- fiance, and we have yet a long, hard. bitter fight. before us. I do feel that We should bend our whole energy, and give our whole time In devotion to the prohibition capse.
 Tobacco does not make a man abuss his family; make a drunken fiend of him: does not cause him to squander his whole earnings on 1t, and we should de- vote our whole time in trying to con- quer this greatest of all evils. Until this is fully accomplished, am not in favor of campaign against the lesser of the three evils at this particular trying time, as I greatly fear that 1t viii be an hnpediment to the cause of prohi- bition.
 It would be next to impossible to i'm prove on either evil until we have an absolutely sober United States. and until we have mastered this vast achievement,
 l would advise to let the two less i'm portaht of the three evils exist and then
 take them up one at a time We. the women of Worcester. are op-
 posed to any such campaign as advocat-
 ed in Chicago, as we feel if the men mus;
 be deprived of ihlr glass. they may at
 least be allowed the freedom and csn-
 solation of their pipe undisturoed. | MRS. R. A. MoRoRTy. Worcester. Mass. April [, 1921.

There is g paragraph in one M Ba- cons Essays in which the famous Eng fish philosopher says that there ought to be something of beauty in the garden all the year round, writes Edward Irv- ing FarTington. And he was right. This applies to heEne grounds as well as to gardens of g formal character. It is pity te. have only bare branches without solor or ehssm from fall until spring. few of the hFaadleayed eveTEreens which keep then foliage the year around, and give a eoBfortable, inviting apReaTanee to the front yard or the garden plot in the depth ef winter as well as in mid summer, The broad -IeaYed evergreens ef which one thinks first are naturally the Ffgedodeadnons and few plants are more beautiful in any season, 0f course thelF pFinaipal show comes in the spring when they are covered with thsir im- mense hoYer heads, hut they never lack charm, and have the advantage of grow ing well in partly shaded places and thrive oftentimes even when planted around the base of . house, if the soil Is well dFained.
 To hs sure, one must choose carefully when selecting Fhedodendrpns if one hap pens to live in the northern part of the country, beeause many of the hyprids are not hardy.

A visit to congress in session at Wash -ington, D.

 From letters of John Adams and his wife we get almost our only glimpses of what was the daily life Iof these de- voted patriots during the 1st and 2d congresses, and of how they were af- fected by the events that took place | fo the deep anxiety with which the peo- pie waited for news of their delibera- tions.
