[ Universal Service announce# that
? the fund to make General Wood
President amount# thus far to ,
two millions. Mr. Procter, head
of the Wood political organisation,
Bays ingenuously, "The men that
contribute large sums do not like
to have their names known." ?
/ Why not? Is it not a virtuous
thing to spend your money, your
half million or your quarter of a
million, to transform a general of
transcendent political genius into
a President?
Why are they ashamed of their
i effort to make General Wood
President? What promises were
made when the large checks were
drawn? Were those promises of
a kind that the check-givers would
not like to have published?
And how much chance do you
think General Wood has of being
nominated for the Presidency of
the United States, now that the
people know that while he was
only just "warming up," it seemed
worth while to the "right people"
to scrape together two millions to
start him?
The people arc fools, or the men
that supplied the two millions?
and the rest of the pile?have
wasted their money.
"It hath not yet been shown
what we shall be." If you doubt
it, ask William Jennings Byran.
We thought we were fairly pure,
what with the Mann Act, highly
beneficial to morals, and to black
mailers, and what with prohibition
act, but from Mr. Byran you learn
that we have only started. There
is to be a "single standard for
both sexes" law.
Whoever tries any double stand
ard experiment will be dragged to
the police station as though he
were nothing better than an im
moral woman.
Not only that, says Mr. Byran,
"it is to be written into our Con
stitution."
Before they finish that will be
a fat Constitution.
You may live to see your Con
stitution ft sort of a literary areop
agus with Bryan or some other
super-virtuous one chief areop
agite. You may even see the 1920
areopagite putting his son in
jail for dancing the wrong kind
of a "jazz," as the ancient areop
agite put his son to death for
plucking out the eyes of u sparrow.
Read part of a cable from Paris
to the New York Times. It tells
how anxious Europe is that the
United States should accept the
mandate for Armenia and con
tinues: "To have American
troops put Mustaoha Kemal out of
what President Wilson regards as
the property of Armenia would <lo
much to discrwi't the Nationalist
leader who thveatens to make so
much trouble for the British and
French as well as Italian and
Greek interests in enforcing the
treaty."
Wouldn't you like to hav* your
son conscripted to be sent abroad
to put Mustapha Kemal out of
what President Wilson regards as
the property of Armfcnia?
Isn't it your heart's desire that
young men here be conscripted to
"save British, French, as well as
Italian and Greek," from trouble
in enforcing their treaty?
Could you imagine any man,
partly sane, demanding that young
men of this country be sent to
contract disease and be shot, to
dispose of Mr. Mustapha Kemal.
Let us first put our own Mus
tapha Kemal, whose other name is
Profiteering, out of our territory.
France, England, Italy, and Greece
may do their own worrying about
Armenia. ,
If you want a war with Russia,
you can get it, with an Armenian
or Turkish mandate. Europe
knows it. Read a little more of the
Times dispatch:
"To have an American military
harrier against the entrance of the
Bolsheviki into Turkey is a thin*
much to be desired by the Allies,
and to have American ability and
money make a stable state out of
the unstable structure the Allies
have erected would be not only to
the interest of Armenia, but to all
the nations interested in Turkey."
) . What do you think of "Repub
lican leaders," names not given,
' who tell the New York Times that
disclosures about the campaign
fund of two millions for Wood,
etc., "endanger Hiram Johnson's
chances?"
Why should those revelations in
jure Hiram Johnson? The answer
is simple. Senator Borah, friend
of Hiram, both radicals, and rep
resentatives of the people, is the
man that started the investigation
of campaign funds.
The "Republican leaders" say
the revelations will hurt the Re
publican party, and the Republican
party, if you please, will get
even by rejecting Johnson.
In other words, because Johnson
has a friend who brings out the
truth about efforts to buy the
Presidency, Johnson will be de
feated for the nomination.
That may be the idea of some
"Republican leaders" belonging to
the gang that think what is worth
1 having is worth buying. But it
r floes not apply to twenty million
voters in tnis country that would
vote for Johnson if they had a
chance.

G. O. P. Must Accept
Blame For Delay In
Raising Postal Pay
When a situation of great injustice
arises and is prolonged by the fail
ure of the people's representatives
to act, it is always desirable to fix
the responsibility.
Kor nearly fifteen months the
Congress permitted workers in the
postal service to suffer under an
average of pay little more than half
the cost of normal living.
This long delay was not neccssary.
I f the joint Postal Commission need- ?
cd more than fourteen months to dis
cover that prices had risen and that
the meager pay schedules of pre
war times, with only a slight war
time bonus added, were utterly in
sufficient to meet them, the Congress
pending a final revision, might easily
have authorized an adequate emerg
ency increase. Instead, it voted
only one bonus of $150 a year and
limited that to men receiving less
than $2,500.
Employes on Verge of Despair.
We recognize that the readjust
ment of an intricate wage schedule
is not the work of a moment. There
is probably warrant for the detailed
investigation which the Postal Com
mision has made.
It has performed a useful and
necessary work in going directly to
the postal workers in the principal
cities for first-hand information as
to working conditions. It has laid
the foundation for many desirable
readjustments.
But it did not need more than
fourteen months to do this. And if
it did, why should there not have
been an ample ad interim allowance.
No well conducted private busi
ness would have driven its faithful
workers to the verge of despair
while awaiting the findings of a
leisurely board of adjusters.
It would have met the wage crisis
as It arose by a sufficient general
grant and left the readjustment to a
more convenient season.
Men Have Been Starved Out.
The consequence of this long de
lay by the Congress is that thou
sands of competent men have been
starved out of the postal service and
their places taken, at advanced pay,
by inferior substitutes. The service
itself has become demoralized. And
there has been no real economy; in
OF GAME USE
Director of Geological Survey
Declares Priority Rule Ap
pears Inevitable.
Restrictions on gasoline consump
tion must come soon, George Otis
Smith, director of the United States
Geological Survey. declared before
the American Iron and Steel Institute
here.
"The ever increasing demand for
gasoline and fuel oil are the out- j
standing oil needs so that the ques
tion of priority must soon arise,' Mr.
Smith said. "Fuel oil in locomotives
and stationary steam plants must
give way to the demand for this fuel
by the Navy and the merchant ma
rine, which alone this year require
one-third of the output of fuel oil."
The last ten years, he continued,
might be called an "oil decade."
Gushers and oil booms, he said, have
doubled domestic production while do
mestic consumption has more than
doubled. There has been a transition
from an oversupply to an over-ue
mand. Smith stated.
With an estimate of 7,000.000,000
barrels of oil In the ground, and the
19-0 consumption close to half a nil
lion barrels, he warned, this pace
cannot long be continued.
"Regard for the future forces us
both to plan to use less and to import
more oil," ha continued. He said
pioneering for oil in foreign fields by
American capital will help, and point
ed out also that Mexican oil has be
come an absolutely necessary part of
our supply."
HOUSEWILL CALL UP
VETO OF PRESIDENT
Tresldent Wilson's veto of the Knox
resolution will be called up In the
House this aftsrnoon by Chairman

question of overriding It. the House

Ulead, injustice has been &upple
raented by waste.
Good men with efficiency records
of long standing who remain out of
loyalty have to work alongside
emergency employes without experi
ence for less pay per hour than is
required to secure this inferior
emergency labor.
It does not require a profound
knowledge of human nature to un
derstand that such an unjust con
dition is destructive of good feeling.
Our postal service has become dis
tinctly bad, but the marvel is that
it has not broken down. Nothing
but the amazing loyalty of the re
maining veterans in our postal army
has kept it from going wholly to
pieces. Throughout all these weary
mouths of harrowing deprivations,
of exhaustion of savings, of going
into debt, they have clung to the be
lief that when the public understood
it would insist upon fair treatment.
Public Now Understands.
The public at last is beginning to
understand.
Congressmen are being deluged
with telegrams and letters urging
them to pay these patient and faith
ful workers a living wage.
In place of long-maintained si
lence, Congressmen are at last be
ginning to show signs of interest.
Not a day now passes without some
member volunteering an explanation,
apology or promise.
The leisurely Postal Commission
has "completed its hearings," is
"formulating its report," its mem
bers are "unanimous," something
will "surely be done."
But, according to present plans,
the Congress intends to adjourn,
either in recess or finally, before the
Chicago convention. In its final
hours its calendar is always jam
med. The steering committees of
the two Houses have made no pro
vision to list the postal pay bill
among the measures to receive pref
erential consideration.
Indications of Delay.
On the contrary, there are some
indications of an intent among the
Republican leaders to postpone action
until December.

The Senate, in executive session, this after
noon rejected the nomination of John Van
Schaick, jr., as District Commissioner, without
taking a record vote.
The rejection came after forty minutes of de

government.
Speeches against the confirmation of Van
Schaick were made by Senators Myers, Sherman,
and King. Senator Morris Sheppard of Texas
spoke in favor of it.
Government Is Urged to
Keep and Run Ships
By CONGRESSMAN EUFUS HARDY, OF TEXAS.
THERE seemf to be & concerted power at work to dis
* pose of our ships at a great financial loss. There was
never greater haste in any legislation than in a mad desire
to get rid of our late acquisition of a merchant marine.
While I am very much in favor of seeing private capi
tal embark in the business of operating these ships under
the American flag, I am bitterly opposed to selling the
ships at slaughter sale prices, either to big capital or to
little capital.
Government ownership may be necessary for some
years in order to demonstrate that American ships can
sail the seas as profitably as the ships of any other nation.
When this has been demonstrated, American capital
and private enterprise will take up navigation and tranft
portation overseas and put Ameirca in the forefront of
the carrying nations of the world.
We now have the commerce and we have the ships
and nothing but a blind or short-sighted policy will reduce
us to our pre-war condition of being a great country
without a merchant marine.
Under the name of Americanism this bill carries a
provision requiring our coastwise ships' companies.to
have 100 per cent of their oapital owned by American
citizens and 75 of their overseas shipping interest must
likewise be American citizens.
This pretends to appeal to Americanism, but it really
is in the interest of the big money interests of the United
States, and would prevent small concerns from financing
a shipping enterprise.
By CONGRESSMAN RANDALL, OF CALIFORNIA
I was one of the eight members of the House who
voted against the Shipping bill when it passed the House
in November.
My chief reason for opposing the measure was my
firm conviction that if the United States is going to have
an adequate and successful merchant marine, the Gov
ernment has got to run it.
Private interests have demonstrated beyond all doubt
their absolute inability to maintain the American mer
chant flag in the place to which it is entitled and where
the interests of the nation demand that it must be. It
was under private operation of American ships that this
country fell from its dominating position on the seas to
a state of virtually no power whatever in the carrying
trade of the world.
The Hearst newspapers are making a wonderful fight
to save the ships. They have shown up the situation in
its real light, and the result will be a determined fight
against adopting the conference report when it comes up.
