w- Friday r.:orjcr:a august 23, ino. .-V. .mp nmnnre IULLILVLO iflLOUI 1.11 II 1 BURLESON ' Campaign For Official Head of 7 Postmaster. General Sadly ' ; Overplayed Game - .' Washington. Cerieeaoadeae C'.Balti- 1 .-. f, mot Sua. " It it bow reasonably certain 1hat the , eampaJfa for the official head of Post- Master-General Albert 8., Burleaoa wu sadly overplayed (ame, and that in satiate eampeifntn, by tbeU - laek el ' moderation and ordinary good tease, tare defeated their own purpose. They --nave driven President Wilson bodily - into the Burleson tamp. ' There will be no early ebange ia the ! load of the P,otoffic Department. Some time in the distant future Mr. Burleson may ask to be relieved, or the President may intfcinte that his resignation would be aeetpted, if offered, but there is not the slightest likelihood of any swift de tlaive action in that direction. The preseat Postmaster-General will cot be ' disturbed for some tine, if at all. The answer is very simple. President ; Wilson baa set himself against what he "' regards aa more clamor in the Burleson - ease. Be has gone over the facts and Circumstances of the Burleson perform' ances of the last vear or -mare, end while Jhcre hare been some obvious shortcomings and some ... pronounced failures, there docs not seem to have been any mal-admlnistration or any pecifie transactions which bring M ' Burleson's integrity, fidelity or patriot yisnt into question. The President can . forgive a great deal in a subordinate who is honest, faithful and patriotic. Had Mach To Forgive. - And in the Burleson case there is a - geod deal to forgive. Of this 'there is net the slightest doubt. He has been . unfortunate ia his dealings with or L ; gamsed labor and has alienated many 'nek workers from the Domocrane , party! His handling of the wire serv ices waa a distinct disappointment from almost every point of view, although he may Lavo done as good a job in that '. direction as anyone elao could have : done. The break-down of the mail ser vice overseas caused more dissatisfac tion among the Amcricau soldiers than - any other one thing. ' These, and other shortcomings must be charged against the Burleson admia- iatration, but thry Involve no official ' crimes. They do not dama the postal head. They do not exactly make him oat a wrecker or a marplot. He hue -'been pigheaded, a fact which he has often confessed, but his view ef that is that he has merely been courageous in '. tba face of his baiters. Ho baa been a fighter and has never failed to give .blow for blow, but the ma a who does not light when he is assailed command! 'very little respect from friends or enemies. Whatever his faults, Albert Burleson has been faithful to the Wilson adminis tration. He has blundered along in many situations perhaps, but he has Uried first and last to servo Woodrew 4 Wilson and the Zfemeeratie party. If he had thought aa tnoeh of tha txrontry as ho hai of his chief and kia party, ho probably wottld have had happier time as Postmacter-Ooneral. Ho would have bed fewer eritle. and aiadt fewer ene mies. ' " . . Btaads Br Loyal Aid. President Wilson has a warm spot ia hit heart for th kind of loyalty that Mr. Barleson has demonstrated and th kind of service which that official hat sought to render. Moreover, th Press- dent hat never allowed himself to b stampeded into aa at tit ado ef disfavor toward a Mbordiaato ia whom he bun' self believes. This is particularly true if Mr. Wilsoa ia led by any cirrum ttanc to suspect that the real assault it aimed at the man higher up and net at the subordinate at all. ' It-is only necessary to recall the Panicle, th Baker and the John Bkel- ton Williams eases to be assured Of that The President firmly believed ia the ca pacity of Joscphut Daniels -during all the long neriod'wben the latter waa be ing abused from end to end of. the coun try and he stood Iff th Secretary of th Navy throughout th whole of that un pleasant ordeaL Wore Tocently, Newton D. Baker waa the object of th opposition assaults. Ht was hammered evea mors tavsgely than Mr. Daniels and th fight upon him had a far more serious aspect than upon Mr, Daniels, since it earns in the midst of war, when the President needed the un failing support of the whole country, But Mr. Wilson' conceived the idea that the fight to drive Mr. Baker into retire ment was in reality a fight upon th President 'himself; that men dared to attack the Secretary of War who dared not attack th head of th government. and that in facing th Baker detractors' he was, in fact, facing his own enemies. Baker Held In Cabinet. In such circumstances the President could not repudiate Mr. Baker without repudiating hit own policies and it it now morally certain that tber never was a time when the Secretary of War wu in tbo slightest danger of dismrmaL It is known that ho offered to withdraw if that act would relieve tbo President of embarrassment, but that offer was summarily rejected. It ia'even believed that Mr. Burleson acted in tho'aom generous fashion and that his offer like wise was turned down. AVIATOR ALIGHTS ON HOOT IN NEWARK, THEN FLIES OFF. Former ' Army Ltcntcnsnt's Sadden Whim Caases Him lo Perform New Feat In .vlatlon. New York World. Edwin E. Ballough, who runs a de livery airplane for L. Bamberger Co.'s Newark department store, estab lished a new stunt record ia this coun try yesterday afternoon by alighting with hit machine, with a pasaeuger aboard, on the roof of a building ia Newark, aad taking off again from th roof. t The only previon occasion on which sn airplant hat landed voluntarily a roof was when Jules Vedrines alight ed" on th roof of th Oallerie Lafay ette t Pari last January. Paris police regulations prevented him from trying to make a getaway from the roof. Vedrines, a daring exhibition and army pilot, waa killed a tow weeks later while trying to fly from Paris to Al giers. He wn $5,000 for landing on the toof aal was t'aod S3 franc for dropping down within th wall f the sity. A ' ;' J , Ballough neither won a prit nor pall I Ana. Hit feat A attributed to and' den impulse. Hit passenger was Chris M. Wagner, a photographer, wh treat ap to get ptaorami pictaret of tht Pert Newark shipyards aad Quartet master depot, froea which army food stuff art being shipped to New York. It was th rof of a ef the Army Quartermaster's Btoret Building Bal lough picked for hi landing. Describ ing tha adventure, h said: At first he flew a few thousand feet shove Port Newark, bnt th hat ob scured our vision of th yards, so w cam down a bit. Then w hat om fan for seversl minutes in seeing how close we could com to ships, dsrrieks and other upright without touching them. Th plan was ia good trim, aad all other eonditiont were splendid at th height w assumed. At timet. at w banked and swooped around w could almost reach out and touch tht objects w skimmed. . " . , Finally I took her np to whet tba Quartermaster's warehouse art sit uated, T and flew vary low. ; All ef t sudden th idea to try a laading flashed across my mind. Until then I hsd avr thought of th ttutt. 8o I de cided to take a chance, and picked out one of the building! nearly 1,000 feet long and about 80 feet wide. "The plaao landed beautifully, easily, bnt I had to watch out, for th build ing had a peaked roof, tapering to both side.' I straddled the peak aad t runt ed to luck, for one the wheels make a landing, I have very little ontrl ver th steering apparatus, and thai was always the fear that th plaa would torn a little to one side, which would cad as iever th side f th building. That would mean a mraeh. Tor a minute I thought, tea, that the plane would not stop in time, but HAIR HINTS taint Advice far Car of a air - Wmrthy Um Attention of -Every, em Who Weald Avoid Daadrwf, Itching Scalp, Gray Hair aad Baldness.
