LETTERING THE SERVICE.

Tn connection with the other policies which have been put forth by the post master general there can be no surprise over the announcement to the effect that former Postmaster Morgan of New York has beer renamed for that post and that there has been a suspension of the rules In order to give the metropolis the bene- ht of the long experience of one who was regarded as being one of it's greatest poStmasters.
 Since the dropping of Postmaster sfcrgan, New York has had many reas- ons for feeling that it's postal service was on the down grade. In the four years since he was eliminated the postal business has grown but instead of get ting the benefit from the facilities that prevailed they have been so altered as b disregard the speedy handling of the n'ails and the institution of a service which while inferior also served to con. tribute to the already overcongeste( gtreets

THE DAWES APPOINTMENT.

In view of his experience and the manner in which he recently conducted an Investigation of the federal agencies dealing with sick and disabled soldiers and presented recommendations for the elimination of the difficulties connected herewith there are reasons to believe that the country will welcome the ap- pointment of General Charles C. Dawes as controller of the budget. It is a big job to which he has been appointed, but he is a big man and President Harding made hts selection with that very fact In mind.
 General Dawes believes in getting re- sulte. He hasn't any use for the great bundle of red tape that is to be encoun- tered in many government activities and the methods that he has used and advo- cated for the cutting of it has given him the confidence of the people
 In the budget system it is desired tc put an end to the waste which has SC long taken place in connection with the has long been a cry to get this import ant duty down to a business basis tha the garment might be cut according tC Inc cloth. No one claims that the bud get system will accomplish the impossi ble. The possibility that it is not perfec is excellent but with determination evi denced in legislation to get away iron old methods an excellent choice has beer made in the man to head that work
 Hitherto efforts in behalf of economy have been of various kinds The new system should furnish the means fol cutting wastes, keeping appropriations t requirements and prevent the piling LII Of deficits. His experience as comptrol Ter of the currency, many years in tn, banking business and his work for tn government during the war makes tn appointee admirably fitted for the job He can be relied upon to look well afte the country's interests.

A TIMELY EXAMPLE.

That one at least has been impressed by the stand which was taken 8 few days ago by Judge Maltbie of the su- perior court when he advised those con- cerned with the violation of the dry law to adjust thf!r cases in the lower courts instead oF seeking relief in the higher court from fines and sentences imposed below, is indicated by the statement which has been made by Judge Creedon of the Hartford city court to the effect that those who violate the prohibition law can expect to get the limit of the law hereafter
 In both instances it is plainly evident that the statements by the judges have been called for by the idea which seems to prevail among a certain number that the dry law is ineffective, that it can be violated almost with iInpunity and that all that is necessary is to pay the fine which amounts to little more than a i. cense and go back to the business.
 The stand taken by the judges Is that the prohibition law exists and as long as it does it is a crime to violate il just the same as it is to break any other law and that there is no reason to ex pect that the courts should take tol erant view regarding those who ar, manifestly doing their best to make ant sell liquor in violation of the law.
 There is no more important factor ii the upholding and enforcing of the lav than the courts. If there is a disposi tion to wink at violations and to over look the repeated appearance of laV breakers for the same offense deplor | able situation is bound to develop. That it is time to have it understoo that such conditions cannot be locke | for in their counts is plainly indicate | by the announcements which have bee made by the two judges. They have nc only taken the proper view but they hay set an example that might well be emu
 lated by others sitting in similar place.

THE LnsT sHIPs.

The government has had it's hands full conducting Investigations of one kind or another but in the mystery that sur rounds the disappearance of several vessels off the Carolina coast there is a puzzle to unravel that promises to take time and patience
 Ships have previously been lost about which nothing has ever been learned. Even our own Cyclops dropped out as if the ocean had opened and swallowed it and there has been nothing to indicate just where or how 1t happened.
 It is five months since the schooner Carroll A. Deering went ashore on the North Carolina coast with all sails set but no one aboard and since that time a bottle containing a message has been found in which it was asserted the crew was forced to leave the ship and condi- tions thereon corresponded closely to the report in the bottle
 Three other vessels have dropped out of sight at the same point and with nothing in the way of wreckage or other evidence to indicate what the trouble was. The cases have not been allowed to go without investigation but search as they would those it has been inpos- sible ti find any clue.
 As is invariably the case under suc?l conditions there are those who have advanced the idea that agents of the soviet government in Russia have been at work on the high seas and having captured the ships sent them to Russian ports for the handsome prices that could be obtained. One guess is perhaps as good as another, but that apparently wasn't the purpose in taking the crew of the Deering. That it indicated fou l play is apparent and 1t seems eviden | that the steel steamer that passed th' | lightship after the Deering and refusef to stop to take a message must knoV something about it's troubles.
 Whether it has been case of fou play. revival of buccaneers or just al unusual run of seamen's luck, the gov ernment is justified in taking all possi 1 ble steps in an effort to learn what can concerning the vessels and thei crews Certain features certainly mak | the cases unusual

CTS the cross country transportation charges can be greatly curtailed by shifting the vessels and putting the ves- sells that use oil and coal in the waters nearest to their supply of fuel.
 When 1t is realized that something like nine dollars a ton in the cost of fuel for the warships will be saved it can be appreciated. that there is an eco- homie benefit attached to the distribu- tion that is bound to amount to hand some sum in the long run.
