Robbinr the Dead.

4 man was. arrested in New York
yesterday charged with having stolen
wrist watch and cash from the per.
son Of one. of the victims OF the knick-
erbocker disaster last January while
helping to extricate the people from
The wreckage. The charge is,, Of
course. not yet proved. but it is:
founded upon substantial evidence, and,
when the case is tried. which it should
be with as little delay as.possible, the
facts will be fully demonstrated.
It is. difficult to, conceive q crime OF
this kind. In a catastrophe like that
Of the Knickerbockef's collapse the
first impulse Of every able person is to
help, to do the utmost to save life and
to relieve suffering. Nobody. thinks of
self at suchsa tipe., There are no
slackers. The main sdificulty is to-
restrain volunteers, from exposing
themselves to danger needlessly and Inn.

A NUMBER OF youngsters the other

thing in marble shooting and were
bemoaning the fact that there was no
store near the Capitol where they
could buy taws. agates or other of
the little round things that are used
in the game. 1t remained for one of
the youthful employees of the Senate
to surmount the difficulty, which he
did in the following manner. On the
cashiers desk near the cigar stand is
a large urn filed with chewing gum
shaped like marbles. The youngster
by spending Is cents secured enough
counterfeit marbles to make the

The Saloon in the Campaign.

The Massachusetts democrats, while
favoring, "the legal use of beer and
light wines," oppose the return Of the
saloon.
More and more as discussion ad-
vances this question challenges: How
can beer and light wines be vended
without the saloon? They must have
habitation. There must be a place
in every neighborhood where people
with a thirst can resort to slake 1t.
Authorize the thirst and you authorize
the saloon.
The drys laugh at this pronounce
ment of the Bay state vets. To them
it shows the embarrassment. under
which the vets are laboring.
The saloon today has no confessed
friends. Nobody Is openly champion
ing it. Whenever there is a formal
expression on the subject it gets a
slam. Every announcement in favor
Of the return of beer and light wines
is accompanied by a pronouncement
against the return Of the saloon.
The saloon does not mind this de-
traction. 1t knows its business, and
that if beer and light wines return 1t
will return. They could not get along
without it.
1t may have to change its name
to travel under an alias. In time it
has had to bear some opprobrious
titles. "Deadfall," rum hole" and
"doggery' are samples.
But the saloon under. any name
would soon draw down on its head,
the drys assert. all Of the old naledic-
tons. It would attract the man Of
small means with no means to spare,
separate him from his scant coin; and
send him home with empty pockets.
And in time-in no great time-old
John Barleycorn would show up with
his bite and complete tho outfit.

Double Danger in the Near East.

Despite an announced agreement by
Kemal Pasha that his forces will re-
spect the neutrality Of the Dardanelles,
they are continuing to press into the
neutral zone on the Asiatic side, men,
ecing the British troops. Kemal de-
clares that he does not recognize a
neutral zone in Asia and demands the
Greeks who still remain in some num-
bers pending their evacuation. The
situation is rather difficult. because
kenlal protests the use of the straits
ry the Greek ships engaged in taking
the remnants of the army back To
Europe and yet insists that the Greeks
must get out. 1t Is doubtless on this
account that the opinion is expressed
in London that the situation is more
grave now even than before the pro-
visional agreement of the allies to the
Turkish demands.
It Is expected that the formal pro-
posals Of the allied powers will be
placed in the hands of KemaI Pasha
then go to Angora to lay them before
the national council Of his govern
ment. But there is no assurance that
they will be approved by the council.
There is great impatience among the
nationalists at any restraint whatever
OF the imposition Of any conditions or
delays. Meanwhile the Greek revolu-
ton is increasingly factor of danger,
for the overthrow Of Constantine is
coupled with demand for a vigorous
military campaign in Thrace. which of
course the Turks are thoughtfully-
noting.
Affairs in Greece are still in great
confusion. The kings abdication in
favor of Prince George appears to have
been forced under threats Of physical
violence to the monarch. 1t is re-
ported without confirmation that Pre-
mier Triantafillakos has been killed
and that Constantine is a prisoner. 1t
matters little, however. what happens
to the personnel of the old govern
ment, but it matters much whether the
revolutionaries force the organization
of ministry pledged to war in Thrace.
II they do that it will become the
business Of the allied governments to
intervene. And in that event other
Balkan states may be involved and
there is no telling where the trouble
will end. For already there are re-
ports Of serious strains in Jugoslavia,
Bulgaria and Rumania. where radical
elements are seeking to gain control.
Thus the scene Of the conflict may
suddenly shift from the eastern to the
western side of tho Dardanelles, and
perhaps the possibility Of such an out
break in the Balkans is why pessimism
regarding the general near eastern sit
uation now prevails at London.

Postmasters and the People.

Postmaster General Work in his ad-
dress to the National Association Of
First and Second Class Postmasters
now in session here stressed the fact
that the postmaster is the most neces-
Sary business man in his community,
and that he should know something
about more things than any other
business man Of his community ;,
Mail service has come by such
steady degrees to be vital feature of
American life that is hardly appreciat-
ed today for its efficiency. The post
master is in most cities somewhat re-
mote from the people, an unseen di.
recting authority, usually behind a
grill or closed doors. whose assistants
Of varying degrees furnish the contact
points with the public. The system
goes on with remarkably high aver
age Of speed and accuracy. Mail is de-
1ivered daily, often several times day.
Letters dropped into boxes or slots are
carried swiftly and sorted and dis
tributed with a phenomena1ly small
percentage of mistakes, and the public
takes it all for granted. The great ma
chine works unseen. j.
In the large cities the letter. carrier
is the man whom the people know
but when the mail boxes are installed
they will come to know him even, less
than formerly. Still the postmaster
must know the city, and this is the
point that the Postmaster General i'm
presses. The administrative head of
each ofilce must be fully acquainted
with his community. its tendency Of
growth. it's business Organization, and
actually with its personnel. 1t is i'm
possible to be an efficient postmaster
without, Mr.. Works says, knowing
something about more things than any
other business man in his community.

CITIZENS TO MEET AND
CLEAN UP THE CEMETERY

The enterprising citizens of the
Roberts Gonzalez and surrounding
communities have arranged the meet
at the Roberts cemetery next Saturday
morning, May 1S. for the purpose of
giving the cemetery grounds their
semi-annual cleanup.
The civic pride that prevails in this
community is to be commended, for the
living should not FORGET the dead nor
should their last resting place be aban-
doned or forgotten.
All interested parties are requested
to come and assist in the work--if they
cannot come. send someone to help.
If you cannot do either send a dollar
bill 10 J. d. Mackey or T. ]. Davidson
at Roberts, Fla, and it will be used
for the purpose indicated. If you
have a lot or grave of some loved
one there and desire that it be looked
after, write them when sending the
dollar and your wishes will have their
personal attention. This IS an un-
selfish work of these people and it is
hoped that as many as can will be on
hand to help, as many. hands will make
light work.
