Bemidji, - - - Minn. ; INVESTIGATE THE POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT (Washington, D. C. Herald) Under the law, the most- powerful official in this country, next to-the, commander-in-chief of its army and navy, is the postmaster general. - The officla]l who can throttle or exterminate a free press is, finally, pretty near the dictator of democracy and arbiter of all rights, to say nothing | of his influence upon ordinary business and domestic affairs. It is common knowledge that the Postoffice Department is badly “ghot to pleces.” It may be because Postmaster General Burleson has leared too much towards making a profit. It may be because he has be- come decidedly unpopular with his underpaid employes. It ‘may be be- cause of his attitude toward labor and his suppression of papers with anti-administration or pro-German tendencles. However this may be, the sum total is unsatisfactory and bad.condition. : It is highly important to speedily and: thoroughly eure such a condi- tion in a time of war, when team work is a prime essential: For lnaunoe{ The: people: are asked: to help conserve transportation, through reduc- tion in passenger train service. Business men are asked to use the mails instead of “sending a man,” and they have a right to demand that gov- ernment do its part by providing first-class mail service. The Postoftice | Department has a record of over $5,000,000 profit, in one year, but, if business. concerns do conserve transportation as they ought, -a poor mail service may mean a loss of ten times that sum.

Many causes have worked to produce this result. Part of these lay with the operators and part with the men. In some mines labor disputes interrupted operations; in others. there seemed to be no-ambition to show a large output, but rather the reverse. pOuUNds fOr ....c.oicuviniernimenislodituiitasanuinions : scription” is-the ‘only medicine put up PHOTOGRAPHER without alcohol—ingredients on wrap- er.
