GO FAR as mails are concerned it is almost
- impossible to realize that the country is in
the grip Of great railroad strike. Hundreds of
letters each day received in The Washington
Herald Office. These come from all sections of the
United States. The Herald mail probably is repre-
sentative of that which goes to the average large
business house. Yet careful examination Of the
postmarks on all these letters mailed outside of
Washington fails to show any delay. The mail
is just regular as it was before the shopmen,s
strike was called.
This fact Is Of particular interfst when coupled
with the admission of the Postoffiee Department
that about 1000 mail trains have been annulled
since the strike started
The efficiency with which the service has been
maintained is complimentary indeed to the pres
ent administration of the department. There has
been little press agenting." Newspapers have not
been flooded with accounts of the marvellous skill
with which difficulties due to the strike have been
overcome. Postmaster General Work and his
assistants have spent their time in doing the job
before them to the best Of their ability-not in
smoking cigars with their feet on the desks and
debating fowery accounts of how good they are.
Yet the very accomplishment deserves unstint-
ing praise. 1t has not been easy Routine
arrangements have been broken up without notice
Quick thinking by cool heads has been necessary
The mails have been kept on schedule because
there were men in Washington and elsewhere who
had the capacity of remarkable generalship-the
ability to do the right thing at the right place at
the right time.
Perhaps it will not be possible to continue this
excellent service if the strike continues much
longer. The heads of the Postoffice Department
have nothing superhuman about them They can
not accomplish miracles But they deserve from
the country recognition of the fact that they have
functioned excelently under difficulties
A man does not deserve great deal of praise
for doing routine job we'll. As long as the
engines run smoothly the superintendent of the
factory can sit at his ease. The leader needed in
industry is the individual who can make good when
the machinery breaks down. Such men the Post
master General and his assistants have proved
themselves to be-
We may rest assured that the mail service will
continue to function even If conditions become
much worse than they now are The men in
charge are not the sort who throw up their hands
as soon as they get in rough waters They are
the sort of who will pull stronger at the oars

Without Question Both Mr..
Wilson's Foes and Friends
Have Gone Too Far.

To the Editor, The WashinGton Herald:
As a believer in the gospel of
Woodrow Wilson i ask you to end
the agony OF nsuseating mass Of
misinformation that has been writ
ten for and against him in the past
few weeks.
The vitriolic attack upon his in
tegrity. his loyalty Of purpose and
/ his judgment are no more obnoN-
ious than some OF the ill-advised
laudations Of those who protest
when IL is unnecessary. II. as one
writer put IL. the silent man who
sees the world 20 by from the win
dows of his street home" 10 con-
tent to rest on his past works and
not participate in the discussion of
present-day policies. IL should be-
hoove the detractors and support
ers Of his policies to leave him
alone.
Who started all this discussion
about Wilson? I'll venture that II
was some -country-store cracker
box statesman-that peculiarly
constituted type OF individual who
goes about rejecting his views upon
all who will give ear and who is
SO seldom equipped with facts TO
support his contentious. II makes
no difference to, him who is Presi-
dent or what constructive works
are being tvolved-he 10 always

Nowhere is this spirit more msni-
fest than here in this city of lis
tening posts" where people enjoy
displaying their intimacy with i'm
portant personages by telling you
what they know about their private
lives or where they made thi. or
that mistake. They make the grave
error OF viewing the world through
Washington eyes and have the con-
tempt born of familiarity. McKin-
ley. Roosevelt and Taft suffered
equally with Wilson the butt Of
their facetiousness and there is no
reason to believe Harding will e.

Sees Roundup of Vendors.

There seem TO be any number
of tricks played on the much per
secuted push cart vendors in this
city. Very recently, While waiting
for a car on Seventh and F streets,

attracted my attention. So watched
for Developments. There were three
street vendors selling their wares.
One on the F street side and two
on the Seventh street side OF the
Land once Building. At the time,
IL did not occur to me that the
hluecoat was playing hide-and-
seek with them.
However, my curiosity was soon
rewarded. After but a few min
utes' wait the policeman came trot-
ting out of the building and placed
the street vendors under arrest.
The outcome. of course. was a few
more hard earned dollars extracted
from the latter pockets. fine for

going at a terrific speed. had tried to

the turn and the left rear wheel
struck the curb on the opposite side
OF the street, demolishing 1t com

This had no effect upon the driver,
