below the ideal figures set as measure for wages
yet 1t also stands well above the starvation point
Much pity will go out TO this young man. who
has shpwrecked his plans the reef that has been
the downfall of many. His mistake is serious
however much allowance is made for his weakness
His excuse is not good. because he did not have to
steal. Inability to withstand temptation may ex-
plain his conduct. But all around him are men
whose needs great whose pay is no greater
but whose strength of character is sufficient to
keep them on the side of honesty.
At the same time, the incident should serve to
center thought phase of the postal admins
tration When the debate on over the bill to
increase the pay of postoffce employees, quite a
little was said to the adequacy of the wages
When we get into the upper brackets, this is per-
haps true, although of them are overpaid But
the further fact is that large number of men in
the postal service do not get sufficient pay to sup
port family in decency.
Low wages is not reason for stealing. but
Uncle Sam should pay his help a basis that will
keep any from pleading that he could not live on

GOVERNMENT ONE DOWN.

Chief Justice Mccoy of the District of Columbia
has quashed the indictments against Albert Bacon
Fall Sinclair, Doheny and others On technical
ity. The judge finds that when the government
poyed special counsel to handle the governments
Dome and other leases it took the oil matters out
of the hands of the regular organization of the De-
partment of Justice. SO, when assistant attorney
general of the United States was present in the
grand jury at the time the indictments
being prepared, his presence vtiaed the whole pro-
ceedings. From this ruling the government an
rounces it will appeal.
Thus, the government is down in the first
round. How the game will end is far from certain.
No trick or quibble known to law will be overlooked
BY the defense in its efforts to throw the govern
ment's case off the track On the other hand it is
reasonable to conclude that effort will be spared
by the government to bring the accused to trial.
Public interest demands it, and the ends of justice
will not be served by less than final decision Of
the case on its merits.
SO far the public is concerned, the verdict
was brought in year ago Transactions between
Fdl and Doheny however innocent they may have
been, did not bear that semblance when brought to
light The coincidence of the signing of the leases,
surrounded by secrecy and the passage OF the mys-
terious black bag, containing $4,000 in currency
has an ugly look no matter how it may be regarded
by those who took part Fall may have served the
government WELL Doheny may have generously
sisted an old friend But the connection between the
lease and the loan is too close to dsarm suspicion
that all innocent.

writer. Vet To those of us who never
expect to reach the grade held by the
illustrious comma nder OF the Ameri-
can expeditlonary forces in France,
and that title OF general of the armies
of the United States. It brings TO mind
the many things that are said about
the military service OF the United
States which reflect in a derogatory
manner upon those who act as the
first line of defense of our nation.
1t leads us 10 believe that the news

pl lofession. knows great deal about
their own profession. but very little
about the other fellows"
| have noticed several times within
the last year that upon every ocea-
sion when some human derelict has
gotten into trouble, whether he was at
that time a member of the military
service or not. he was classed as a
soldier. T recall an article headlined
as Soldier From Fort Crook As
saults Traffic Policeman In Omaha.
This man was not soldier. had. never
been a soldier. although he had for
time drawn pay and had worn the
uniform prescribed for the defenders
of our country. He was a human
derelict who, for want OF food and
shelter. came into the army in order
to receive those requisites of life
food, clothing and shelter. No mat
ter what his former status had been
the might have worked in a bank, for
some big corporation, or been a civic
or state employel. these facts We're
not dscertained; but this man was
elassed as a member of the United
States army, from which he had been
dlshonorablv discharged before the ex.
piration of his term of service, which
placed him in the classification tina
he should have had before he came
into the army-a human derelict.
In writing mp all criminals. and all
persons between the ages of 27 and y |
wears who are able bodied males, why |
not class them all as soldiers, for, II |
they were able bodied they should |
have at one time worn the uniform |
of the army of their country.

a soldier without first giving his Off |
