Gen- I@purleson is still paying more atten- tion to economy than he is to efficiency n the postal service. Instead of ecall- ng attention to a surplus for the past vear he points to a deficit of seventeen ind a quarter millions and directs at- téntion to the fact that this deficit ex- sts not because of his management but because congress authorized an increase the pay of the postal gmployes ac- cording to its own ideas rather than in accord with his plan. Had his sugges- tion been adopted there would be a dif- ferent finangist report to make. From al indications the postmaster general doesn't appreciate the situation to which the postal service has fallen under his guidance and the predicament that was threatened had his policy been carried out. In the first place the peo- ple pay for service and expect to get it. It isn't a department where a surplus s expected. Efficient service without waste and needless throwing away of money is what is desired, but while the people have been paying they have fail- ed to get the service. P 2 Regardless of the general dissatisfae- tion with the administration®ef the de- partment and an apparent disregard for efficiency in the service, these was a much worse situation threatened under the Burleson plan of pay increases for not only was it regarded unfavorably by those for whom it was intended but t would have resulted in such losses in employes as to have further impaired the department service. T effects of the Burlesonized mail service are to be noted in other wWays that the deficit shown in the report and strange 4s it may seem the postmaster general hasn't in all the years he has been retained' as the head of that de- partment grasped”the fact that a justi- fied deficit isn't kicked at by the people provided they are given the service they e and pay for. 1 AUTO LEGISLATION. When the secretary of the National Highway Protective speiely declares that the increase in the number of deaths in automobile accidents and the thefts of cars is due to law legislation, he says much to those legislatures which have mot given much attention to puotective measures, and he reminds others that there is wislom in keeping the laws abreast of the conditiems. There are states whith by their ef- forts to secure greater safety and se- curity set an excellent example to oth- ers. They have seen the necessity of dealing with bad conditions befors they Fot so bad as to be a national disgrace, while there are others which have fol- lowed a policy of negligence with the result that conditions are deplorable and the people are calling out for re- lief, When it is realized that there were 3808 people ingthis country killed by automobiles during the year 1919, it must be realized that it represents a large loss of life, and particularly so when had there been the exercise of adequate care a large percentage of that loss could have been avoided. Whatever part lax legislation contri- butes thereto, either through failure to restrict and punish reckiess driving or through failure to insure and maintain competent drivers by means of license dontrol, ought to be quickly remedied. Every state should be anxious to give its highways a degree of safety that will be to its credit and the mere dis- closure that such does not exist should be sufficient reason for action to secure it Legiclation that will give reasongble protection to highway users must be provided in keeping with the increase in motor vehicles, and after being pro- vided shollld be enforced, and while safety of life and limb is being sought it is only proper that means to protect antos from thieves should get careful attention, TUNDER MARTIAL LAW. It is a sorry tale that comes rrom Cork resarding the conditions which developed as the result of the establish- ment of martial law in that eity. In keeping with the attitude which las been previously manifested there was a determination to resist the new Brit- ish gplicy, even as the alternative of- fered was refused. Following directly upon the bombii from ambush of the military which re- sulted in death and 4njuries the fires which followed, resulting in losses which may total §15,000,000, indicate a prompt reprisal and a period of terrer which few citles coyld, hardly wish to experi- ence. Apparently the Attack came be- fore martial law had become firmly es- tablished, or else the new situation there doesn’t give promise of any bet- ter control and the ending of violence. As the result of what marked the putting inte effect of the mew policy in certain sections of Ireland, it must be evident, even to the strongest of the opponents that such cannet continue in- definitely. Cenditions whick have pre- vailed have been responsible for martial law. . In connection with the astablish- ment of peaceful conditions and orderly existence the initiation of martial law may prove to be an eye opener. With an adequate number for the enforge- ment of the military administration of the city's affairs it is to ufi;h‘-flq at Norwis, Coma, ar innocent vietims will not. be forced to bear the burdem in what must jn the end be a one-sided contest. . | Evidence is growing that there are fgrces working for the ending of the sections of Ireland a pile of ruins. That! fi'."“"”‘"" on both sides doekn’t ‘alter the apparent onesidedness of the struggle, and the apparent Brit- ish determination that the state of af- fairs® which has prevailed there for a number-of months must come to an end. DEER HUNTING. Massachugetts has just finished its limited period during which . it is possi- ble to hunt deer with a’shotgun and as the result something less than a thous- and deer have been killed and one man had lost his life from the charge of & hunter’s gun. S It is this way in which Massachusetts keeps down the number of deer. It is recognized that if they were protected against hunters the year round they would become in & very few years an {unbearable nuisance. As it is they are much bother and the means of much loss to the farmers and orchardists’ But the idea of giving them free range for almost the entire year and then sub- jecting them to slaughter during a few. days at this season, after they have be- come more or less domesticated doesn’t demonstrate any great skill on the part of the many amateur§ who go into the fields and woods after them. It doésn't provige very exciting sport for those who are rated as clever hunters sinced it isn't much different from going out and shooting down some cows. » That there is a danger connected with the oven week is shown by the killing of a farmer who was working in his woodland and so surrounded by hunters that it was impossible to tell who was responsible for the shooting, though it Was considered to be acciden- tal With recognition Qf the fact that deer cannot be wisely protected the veat round and that the plan of throwing the countrysidie wide open during one week in December is too dangerous in a State as thickly settled as Massachu- setts, it must be recognized that the idea of propagating the deer to run loose through such states as Massachu- setts and Connecticut is responsible for much waste of human life and an ex- pense and annoyance to those uponm whose crops the deer feed. If deer were not protected such conditions would not exist. It would not be long before they would be eliminated from these parts and we are not so sure but that is what it is eventually going to come to, wWhen the full and partially restricted seasods prove failures. —_—, SECURITIES AS PEESENTS, There have been years when the sug- gestion that those ~ buying - Christmas presents gzive consideration to the ap- Fropriatensss 6f saving securities of the United States government would have required less ‘urging. That was when the thoughts were being directed more frequently and widely to the importance of bringing evervone's mite to the front in order to aid the financial activ- ities of the government. Those strenuj cus campaigns are over, but government securities .are still for sale, and it can be appresiated that there is no better or safer security to be found and no better way to inspire thrift than throigh these very same government . promises to pay, For those who are determined to give sometning useful it is possible to in- vest in government secwiities rumming in price all the way from 25 cents to a thousand dollars, the receipt of which means that the government is going to have the use of such a sum for a defi- rite period during Which the holder will be piid, or have accumulated for him, a certain amount in addition to the face of the stamp or certificate. To those members of the society for the prevention of useless giving this form of a Christmas present must make a strong appeal. Likewise it will to a large number of others and the joy and happiness that would go with the start- ing. of .such an investmentior the in- creasing of investments already made would be here today and gone tomor- row. Many have already invested ‘largely in govermment securities of this kind. Many are doing go regularly and it can be appreciated that the number will increase. The security is one which appeals strongly and whether it is as a holiday gift, or a personal investment, it is to be realized that N means some- thing that will increase in value as the days pass. EDITORIAL NOTES. The man .on the eorner says: This 1s the season of the year when if you see what you want you should ask for it. With a break in the army and an oe- casional -warship going ever to D'An- nunzin, these are pawlous times in Italy, It is too early to judge the femainder of the winter. No one foresaws what last winter was going to develop in De- cember a year ago. Even if coal speculators lost on sales to England it is certain they made up for it by sales ‘at home, including those to the shipping board. President. Wilson gets the peace prize even if we haven't got peace, but from ‘@1l accounts what he will get will be only a piece of the prise. The revenue department needs more money to fight prohibition. It was quite evident that there wasn't any lack of opportunity to enforce the law that was keeping it idle. President Wilson has reported on what gught to be the boundary of Ar- menig but what are Turkey anl the Folsheviki going to say about it? Will Armenia even dare to accept the award? According to Seeretary Houston's idea the rich mah ought to pet some consideration bécause he can duck the| law, but a poor man should get seaked because he's in a corner and cannot get away. 8 : One writer wants to know, Why not havé a Golden Rule day?

C., Dec. Senator, Harding talked to the pr lery g« a few minutes after his address to the senate, he ed as_‘“one of the craft” on the ban of ‘making what he. sajd confidentials It i a pity the splendid talk he gave them and the spirit pf comradship and goodfellowship pressed with a quiet eloguence reached the heart of every man press ent, cannot even be outlined, for it showed in a way rarely equalled, the personal character of the man who will be the next president of ~ the United States. h “Put yourself in my = place, said he, * be quoted in what I want to say to yau, brier he ex-{- nd you will see why 1 can't|girl indignantly. lu. all about it ! ; “Well,” reflected the pretty girl, pattm & an orange have told you all about that dinner with. ut bethering' to ask!

It's enough to say thap when Mr, Harding becomes president he will have the confidence of every Washe ingten correspondent with whom he talks. They may differ with him; they may denounce some of his decisions, but they will never distrust him as a man. T fllft hour talk with the “boys” as he cal +d them, he showed them his true self great desire he has to administer the|. Y Eflu of the nation with justice and impartiality; his determination: to re. spect the rights of the executive; and he made plain that he has a full sense of the great responsibility which he will as- §umé when he enters the.White House, Mr. Harding sat at the head of -the long writing table in/the house gallery as he talked with a couple of hundred correspondents grouped around him. Toying with the stub of an old pencil, which some man had laid down with his “eopy” as he jumped to his feet to cheer the president-elect when he entered the press gallery, Mr. Harding told the mep 4 good deal about what he believed con~ stituted honorable journalism. He gaye many intimate personal experiences of his own as a newspaper man and edj- tor, he showed them the very cockles of his' heart—then put on, the ban of confidence and clamped down the lid. But its a preity safe guess-after he be- comes president, Warren G. Harding will see that every citizen of the United States_gets a square deal, so far as it is in his power to help obtain it, ré- gardless of class political faith. There was the usual crowd on the opening day of congress, but a thrill was lacking when it became known that Pres- ident Wilson would not be weil enough to appear before a joint session and read his address. No one really expected he would be able to do 50, but whispered in- timations that floated throughout Wash- ington to the effect that his health wouia after all permit; could not be entirely dis- counted by the general public, so the crowd gathered. So far as can be as- certdined the president is still a very sick man, altheugh he has gained somewhat In strength and the use of his paralyzed limbs. But his voice is still low and he Is said to speak with some hesitancy and indistinctness. Although he can walk a few steps by using a came, he uses tfe wheel chair most of the time. One of the pleasantest features of the Harding visit here was the infoermal call Mrs. Harding made on Mrs. Wilson, where the two women exchanged cordial courtesies and behaved just as two well brea American women of high social and pe- litical station should behave, and when they “looked over the White House" «to- gether, in a simple domestic fashion. Commenting on the possibility of the Wilson league of nations being again presented to congress, Senator Brande- gee today said: “If it is sent back by the president it will merely stay in the hands of the committee on foreign relations till this congress expires the 4th of March. It will not be considered or acted, on by the committee nor will it be presented to the senate for conmsideratior, M. Brandegee believes that unquestionably Mr. Harding will present a_suggestion for foreign co-operation that Will be satis- factory to this county and to the others countries, after he become. president and has the opportunity to confer with-rep- resentatives of foreign countries, and sa gain a clear insight into which will exist at that time. There ig apparently not the slightest basis for rumors that the so-called bitter enders will embarrass Mr. Harding. It is very evident tha the republicans are all work- ing in harmony to bring about a state of peace with Germany and frame nego- tiations which will continue peace with other countries, and go far towards pre- venting world wars, without taking away the independence of the United -States, It is all bosh to say that “the party is split.” The party may differ as to ad- vanee details but the November election shows 2 unininity of sengiment to- wards a peace that will not dishonor or compromige this country, and moreover that the country fully trusts Mr. Harding to bring about such peage. The “new committee on appropriations turns out to be the old committee en. larged jo 35 notwithstanding the efforts of the leaders to give the rule quite an- other interpretation. The effort to or- ganize an entirely new committee fell to the ground under a variety of inter- pretations, each of which seemed to ha some good ground to stand on. Morg- over much time will be saved by utiliz- ing the old committee, already familiar with methods of procedure, so the antics ipated heartburnings and jealousies have been suppressed, and ail is moving along in complete harmony in repubican ranks Such members of the committee as have been added from, other major commit- tees will pe returned to their present sta- tions, if they so desire at the end of tne short session, without losing rank. The house rule' prohibits a member from holding 2 position on more than one of the so-called major committees, of which the committees on appropriations is one. So whoever accepts the new honor, must temporarily relinquish fhe honor of rank- ing member, chairmzh or whatsoever he may now hold ‘on one of the others. The flat refusal of Floor Leader Mann to permit any use of :his name as an op- ponent of the re-election of Speaker Gil- lett or as floor leader in place of M. Mondell has had a secothing influence on agitators, and has done mw#h to sooth the path for the incoming congress. With the loss of Champ Clark and the serious illness frem which Claud Kitchen, rank. ing member of the ways and means has suffered, the democrats are pretty well torn up. Just who they will select to guide the little group of uefocrats which will show up in March on that side of the house,_ is net yet decided. But the losg of Champ Clark to congress is regarded here as a national calamity, regardless of his political faith. KEvery man in con: gress loves Him and trusts in nim, and his calm and wise judgment would have been a strength to the §7th. congress . When Captain Carroll Reece, the new- 1y elected member of congress from the First Tennessce district got to Wagh- | ington yesterday to learn the ropes and see the town, the first thind he did was to hunt up Congressman Tilson and talk over New Haven and the 402nd Infan- try. For It is a curious happenstance, as they say way down east, that Reece was not only a member of the Y. D., serving in Compzuy M, Cornecticut Infantry, but he cames from the native, home district of Tilson, who was born in Tennessee but a few miles from Reece's home. Now the two men will sit side by side in congress, and Reece has asked Tilson to act as his mentor in - learning the wavs of con- gress.. ‘Reeéce is said to be mighty proud v H EY TROUBLE.

Mr. Editor: This is the season of greetings and gifts. May I send to your readers greetings and ask them to send me gifts? A These greetings will, T hope. give real| pleasure. They conjey the gratitude of the soldiers blinded the war for the sympathy and help which has come to them from all parts of the world. They carry the mews that all we hoped fok frem the training given at St. Dunstan's is "being justifed by these blinded men in the very wonderful success that they are making of their lives. I do not think that anyene would say it gets easier to be bravely blind as the years go on. It becomes easier to do things in the dark, but the demand on the will to keep pace with normal life grows greater rather than lessens. Con- stant effort is extracrdinarily exaeting, apd it is really splendid how the men eet this demand on themselves, keep up their intérest in everything and main- tain their notable record as workers, some in offices, some practicing as mas- rs, some as poultry farmers, and oth- ers as expert craftsmen. "There are still more than five hundrea men learning to be blind in our class- rooms and workshops. Besides those actually blinded on the battlefisids, 23,000 men were discharged from the army with seriusly damaged #ight, and, unfortunately, many of these are finding it necessary to come to \St, Dustan's. We are dealing, too, with a number of men whosel health dees not enable them to make sueh quick pro- gress as others. _ ‘We have lso now to meet the expenses of moving our headquarters—the offices for the organization required to look aft- er nearly 2,000 men, and also the class- rooms and workshops. The blinded soldiers have ecreated 3 magnificent record ; the plans for helping them back to normal life have worked out better, I think, than anyone dream- ed would be possible. I think, o, that there is no one who realizes what the gift of sight means, and what blindness must mean, who would not wish to help on this work which St. Dustan’s has un- dertaken, I trust that any of your readers who are so generous as to' respond to this appeal’ will forward their contributions to me at 82 Dustan’s headauarters, Re- gent's Park, London, N.
