It may be remembered that Mr. Burleson attempted to cry persecution by the newspapers and he said the cause of the criticism appearing in the press of the country was the increased postage he had exacted from the publishers. me increased postage, however, was the least of Mr. Burleson's sins. The News doesn't remember ever heara publisher kick on the increase, but there were numerous protests against the red tape accompanying it Says Forbes: "His relinquishment of the cables marks the beginning of the end. Mr. Burleson as a dictator and a monopolist has been weighed in the scales and found wanting. He still screeches that he believes in government ownership of the cables, the telegraphs and the telephones. His is now as a voice crying in the wilderness. To Mr. Burleson government ownership means Burleson ownership, Burleson control, Burleson domination. It is inconceivable that he voluntarily gave up the cables so soon after having grabbed them. It looks as if President Wilson finally rapped his too autocratic postmaster-general over the knuckles and forced him to let go. His hold of the telegiaphs and the tele phones is also about to cease. "President Wilson surrounded himself with not a few lightweights, but not even Secretary of Commerce Redfield has cut a more sorry figure than Bulldoz'em Burleson. He has been a misfiet of misfits. He has queered himself with his own colleagues. He has queered himself with business. He has queered himself with labor, which is now making Mr. Burleson's own wires hum with demands that he be dismissed from office. Clemenceau is credited with having declared that President Wilson is the most stubborn man he ever encountered; yet it is questionable if President Wilson will much longer persist in condoning the egregious blundering and gall-raising of his postmaster-general. When Mr. Burleson descends from his selfconstructed throne few there are who will bid him 'Au revoir*; the universal farewell will be, 'goodbye."" * The Record has never been impressed by the Burleson administration, and has regarded it as being fan' similar in snmp rosDects to "Kaiserism," the thing we were trying to rid the world off. While his meddling with the telegraph, telephone and cable lines has not affected us m the least we finally believe that had he let them alone and given more attention to the mail service of the country he would have been able to returnN to his Texas home at the end of his second term in greater favor with the millions of civilians and soldiers and ex-soldiers who for the past few years experienced the most inefficient service, perhaps since the days of stage coaches and holdups. o Hemingway School Closes The Hemingway Consolidated % \ a.
