HOW LONG WILL THEY STAND IT?

The government controls about everything now except the air we breathe and if Mr. McAdoo or Mr. Burleson could see their way clear they would probably put the air under government control. No longer, we are informed, are night letters that are sent by telegraph, to be delivered by telegraph messengers in the morning as has been the custom. Instead, they are placed in mail bags and added to the burden of the post office, already heavily overburdened, and there take their chance of being delivered some time the day following that on wnlch they Are sent. But we may become used to these things in time, just like ope could become accustomed to having his legs cut off, no doubt, if he had enough legs. But, if we mistake not, says the Muncie Press, the public temper, there will come a time of reckoning some day, and in that time of reckoning we shall allotf* thd. people who understand how to run me telegraph business to run it and those who understand how to run the. railroads to run them, and in that happy day we’ll get service instead of salve and the communications we need instead of political literature.
