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.?

The reason so many people fail to
get on in this world is because
they're not headed for any p'ace in
particular.
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.
