Mr. Burléson appéars o .havé countéd his chickens béfore théy Weré hatchéd. It was not so long agé that he was kicking up considerable dust because of the claifn that thé post- office départment ‘dufing the past seven years under his management had Beéeh carried on s6 éfficiently that it showed a surplus of over $35,000,000 and this he pointed out to” be in marked contrast to the déficits éf pre- vibus years. | Mr. Burleson didn’t undertake to jay any part of this t6 the failtire to keep the postal servicé up to the standard .of previous days or up to the requirements of the public who pays the bills, and he didn't také into consideration the claims of the rail- roads for proper compensation under the space basis of cartying the mails. By the decision which has been rendered by the intérstate commerce commissinn o= the appeal of the rail- roads only is the surplus that he 50 boastingly refers to wined out but it means that the department is in the hole about $80,000,000 which is as much it not largér than the deficit hé réferfed to during the seven years previdus to his taking command. Thé commission finds that the rail- roads are entitled to increased cem- pensation over and above what théy have béén paid by the postoffice de- partfent to the extent of $95,000,000 for a period since November 1916. Thus with Mr. Burléséf’'s depaftment showing a deficit for the seven years as great as the previous seven years it is plainly disclésed that he has-ac- complished no more financially thap those hefore him, while everyone knows that he has failed miserably in giving the country the postal service that it should have had and that it has steadily been clamoring for, while the postal organization has suffered instead of heing helped. Mr. Burle- son would have saved himself some|; criticism had he fefrained from,mak- ing the eomparison he did until aftér the rafirbad compensation matter had been determined. BRYAN'S OFFER. Regardléss of the experierices he has been through as the standard bearer of his party, William Jenni Bryan is still ready to take off his coat and try to reach the whita| house §f the democrats will but say the word. That cannet be regarded | othegwt~ - real self sacrifice. It hows What he is Wwilling to' endure for the sake of the democratic party. Mr. Bryan has ideas which do not jibe with the present chief executive. That wae demonstrated during his cabinet days and it has come to the surface again in connection with the treaty. Mr. Bryan has stepped intof politicdl matters again with the idea of giving a roseate hué to the de-| sponfient outlook of the party as the result of the demoralizing effects thé present administration has had. Thers are those who are content to let Mr. Bryan talk and then go ahead and do as they pléase, but there are, strange as it may seém, not a few about the country who are willing to get into the ranks and follow wherever Mr. Dryan may lead. In other words they have such unbound- ed confidence in his guidance and his statesmanship that théy are immune to all other maznates, As.a wWorker and a campaignér there is nene to excal him. Nhe fact that he had lead his party to defeat three times would be sufficient fer most men, but not &0 with him, He was a force in the Baltimore eonvention and there is no doubt but what as an old politicall war horse he will if he goes to the convention next une get a serious hearing. He still has faith in Bryan and the demecratic party but that was always characteristic of his leadership. In spite of his recent pro- claimed willingness to acéept a nom- ination, the democrats might take him and then not make as hiz a mistake as they would in the selection of an- other, EDITORIAL NOTES, With no places to move to it looks like light business for the moving gangs this spring.

It is understood that Chairman Fordney and & majority of the com- mittée are leaning strongly towdrds a twenty year bond that will have writ- ten into it the name, of the individual service man, and possibly his war record. It is not impossible the borids will be made non-negotiable for 4 per- iod of séveral years i order to dis- couragé and prevent getting thém in thé hands of sealpérs or sold for whatever they might bring at quick sale. The committeée hopes to work out 4 plan wheteby thé bond will be.held as a nations testimonial to be preserv- ed as a family treasure, and that after the coupons have all beén clipped, the bond itself will be cancelled but ailow- ed to remain with former sérvice men as a permanent certificate of honor, t0 be handed down through genera- tions as evidence of the service render- éd the country .in the hour of the world crisis. M?. Fordney has assurances from many members of congress that such a bond issue would be acceptable to them. While a number of bills introduced for a bonus call for home sites and farm grants, ahd floor leader Mondell is especially anxious the honus take that form, there is a growing indica- tion né land proposition will be report- ed out by the committee. 1t is too éarly to maké predictions on the amount of bonus that will be recommended if the special bohd plat ia adoptéd, but there is reason tb be- lieve a bond will be issued to ecach soldier, sailor and marine for 6ne (ol- lar for every day from the date of en- listment to the date\of discharge. In computing the amotnt a dedication may be made of the $80 already paid as ‘a bonus, although theére seems to be a strong feeling that the new bLonus ould be made without such deduc- tion. The war department has fui nished congress with an estifiats ihat the one doliar a day plan, deducting the $50 already paid, would amount to $1,420,000,000.

I do not see why we have not the courage either to ratify it or to decline to ratify it. How will men unpredjudiced by party pass- ion and having in -their hearts only the unsullied career of their country and their flag look on this piece of legerdemain? It is a mere device and the good faith in which it is offeréd is simply an effort to get four more votes on the ground that it has not changed the principle. That good faith consists of the utter bewilder- ment of those three or four senators who by the camouflage and maze of words are to be fooled into voting for it. God forefend that this nation should ever write such a misérable subter- fuge into a great international guar- anty of good faith. * * * & * *it is a pitable exhibition for senators to spend days in an effort to contrive a set {0f ‘weasel words’ so acjusted that they may slip through the senate and get a fety more votes, for the purposé of meaning one thing to this section of senators, and another thing to an- other section of senators and a -third thing to the presidént and a fourth thing to our partners in thé league. Is that thé talk of hénest men? It is publicly avowed heré that there s no change but simply a new form of words designed to cdtch a few more votes under an interpretation place on it” Mr. Brandegee flayed un- sparingly the men who had brought about this condition and said it was the duty of the irreconcilables to see that only forceful reservations were adopted, to lessen the danger to the United States in case the treaty should at least be ratified. And it looks as if Mr. Brandegee's warning would be heeded. It is diffieult for those who have a near view of-the situation to under- stand_how reports are circulated to the effect that the President is soon to resume his daily pastime of golf. He is not vet out of his wheel chair, has been able to take but a few short auto- mobile rides, has not yet recefved the long list of waiting “diplomates and 50 far as can be asscertained, is still subject to the routine of the sick reom and under the care of specialists, There have been many rumors in c culation that he would cause a sensa- tion by suddenly appearing on the floor of the senate and personally speak his mind on the league of na- tions but thus far there is nothing to substantiate the rumor and but few persons here believe he would - be physically able to do so. A bill wkich is of direct interest to every citizen of Connecticut was pass- ed in the house of répresentatives on Friday. This bill is known as the Nelan bill and has also been known as the patent office life saving bill. 1t provides for an increase in the force of the Patent Office. and also for in- ¢reased salaries so that skilled ex- aminers may be retained in the office and thus improve the quality of the service. Congressman Merritt made a speech during consideration of the bill, point- ing out that it was an unusual bill in that the increase of salaries was not demanded primarily by thé employes themselves, but was demanded by the manufacturers and inventors of the whole country who wanted better ser- vice and were willing to pay fer it through patent fees. The inventors of the country have already paid into the treasury of the United States more than eight millions of dollars in ex- cess of the amount which the office has cost the government, and this bill, by a slight increase of ten dollars on each patent fée, will more than pay the increased appropriation for the service, Mrs. George Maynard Minor of Waterford is the only candidate whose name will be presefited for President General of the National D.
