Bl RLESON'S RECORD There are no more shining: marks in this country than Cabinet officers. for they * peculiarly represent the party that is in power and anything the opposition can prove against them is a reflection upon the administration. This is why charges against Cabinet officers should generally be calmly heard and carefully sifted. Many times, as in the case of Daniels and in that of Baker, they are found to be groundless. Recently the cry against Postmaster General Burleson has risen out of the general dissatisfaction with the handling of the telegraph and telephone situation. From the beginning there were evidences of a determination on Mr. Burleson's part to gain control of the wire system of the country and since he has come into this control he has done many things that have caused criticism The raising of the wire ratec after promising: to lower them and the dismissal of the head of the Postal Company from his position were the climax of these proceedings and are what brought on the hue and cry that now assail the Postmaster General from all quarters of the compass. The fact is, however, that the public appears to have against Burleson a much greater grievance than his conduct of the country's wire system. If half the charges that have been brought against hin by sober-minded men are true, he has seriously damaged one of the most important instrumentalities of the nation, iis postal system. Mr. Burleson is accused of having weakened the once splendid morale of the postal forces of the country by ill treatment of employes, especially of carriers, by rewarding long service in the postoffices with rein salarv and dismissals. and by influencing Congress against increasing the pay of the postal em\ ployes when the pav they were receiving was plainly inadequate to the expense of living. It is charged that he has let the sen-ice rundown in a score of different ways. He is accused on many other scores of being a "sweat-shopper" and a service wrecker. Mr. Burleson took over the postal administration from a man who, though he was a nartisan politician of a rather low type and did many J discreditable things in the field ofl politics, yet gave the nation a postal service of which it was proud. He built up a fine morale, besides building up a splendid machine. Indeed, the reason there is not more general and voluble criticism of Burleson today is probably because the excellent morale of the postoffices m many places, as in Charleston, has been maintained through the efforts of good local administration and a desire on the part of local officials to serve the public in the face of all handicaps. If Mr. Burleson has done one half the things that he is accused of having done, his resignation should be rem.ocfoH Tf has not done them. UVOIVV. AA ?.v the public is entitled to hear his denial. If he is merely being baited, as Daniel was baited, the people will be with him. but if he is really wrecking their postal service, they must be rid of him and speedily.?

EVENTS IN GREAT CONFLICT SHOWING WHAT BONDS PAY FOR Son ets of the war recorded by the motion picture camera and only now released by the censors are revealed in "The Price of Peace", an official film issued m behalf of the Victory Liberty Loan, and to be shown at ; Kingstree Tuesday, May 6. j "The Price of Peace" is the only ; official picture ever assembled which purports to cover the war from the day it was declared down 1 to date. The purpose of the picture as announced by the Department of the Treasury through Frank K. Wilson, director of publicity, is to put before the public a graphic accounting and to make clear why there is now a Victory Liberty Loan. I The picture opens with a scene in ^ - - - - ?T- .... A ~ rresiaem vviison s uuice iii;n a | orence to that momentous April 6. jwhen war was declared. It concludes with i remarkable view of the Sta tue of Liberty, in New York harbor, j and the homecoming of our army. ; Hut there is a vast deal between, including the embarkation of troops, ; their landing in France, final train; ing over there, then the desperate . realities of the front line trenches, gas attacks, army railroading under fire, the great attack from Soissons 1 to Chateau Thierry. infantry and : artillery under heavy bombardment, I a battle between aeroplanes and the | downing of an enemy airman, the j observation balloons under fire, then ; the battle dead, the prisoners, capItured guns, our troops marching j over the Rhine into Germany. Gen-, jeral Pershing and his men in Prussia, Christmas with the Army' of j Occupation in Germany, and the j homecoming. j Probably the greatest thrill of the | picture is in the scenes where our J troops arc seen going: "over the top" land into the wheatfields at 4:35 | o'clock on that famous July 18,1919. I There is a dim. misty light, faith| fully portrayed by the photographer that gives these scenes a peculiar and fascinating intensity. ^Other scenes of desperate fighting show an American battery under heavy fire from encmv guns in the Argonne. In yet other scenes American soldiers are shown bravely advancing under shrapnel fire across an open glade. Two are shot down near the camera. The activities of the American navy furnish another important chapter of the picture. A number of impressive scenes show the German fleet steaming in to surrender. Near the conclusion of the film former Secretary McAdoo is shown in his ofTice at the Department of the Treasury welcoming in Secretary Carter Glass, who forthwith sits down to his desk and writes a message to the American people. o I Judging from what the newspa- j pers say about Postmaster General; Burleson and his domineering, au-, tocratic tactics in handling his cabinet job, it is indeed fortunate for Mr. Wilson that he is already serving his second and last term.
