WHERE RESPONSIBILITY LIES
Although the republican filibuster
during the closing days of the Sixty
fifth Congress defeated several ap
propriation measures that were of
vast importance in the administra
tion's reconstruction plans, the gov
ernment departments are going ahe".
with their work in such a way as to
merit and receive the commendation
of the country.. Though handicapped
by lack of sufficient funds, by re
doubling efforts the departments are
accomplishing a great deal that is
helping to stabilize conditions and
get the country back into its normal
swing.
Particularly is this true of the
United States Employment Service,
Labor officials, have charged that the
defeat of the appropriation for this
service, which had made extensive
plans to get hundreds of thousands
of discharged soldiers and sailors and
released war workers back into peace.
time employment, wa s inspired by
certain interests seeking to impair
the efficiency of the department of
labor. Despite the failure of the ap
propriation, labor department offic
ials have through state and private
aid obtained sufficient funds to not
merely keep the service going, but to
open scores of new employment of
fices and thousands upon thousands
of released fighters and war workers
are being placed in good paying jobs
in essential industries.
Nevertheless, we have the spec
tacle of seeking private aid in order
to discharge a duty the federal gov
ernment owes to the men who heeded
the call to the colors when the nation
al emergency arose, and the Ameri
can people, remembering the G. 0. P.
filibuster, will know where to place
the responsibility.
POSTMASTER GENERAL REPLIES
TO CRITICS
In answer to the critics of his ad
ministration of the post office depart
ment, Postmaster General Burleson
has issued a statement that, of all
the postal establishments of bellig
erent countries, "America's and hers
alone is the one that did hot break
down to a certain extent. We organ
ized an efficient force in,. France," he
also declared. " ' '
In regard to the enforcement of
the Espionage Act, he said:
"To exclude from the mails treason
able and seditious matter it became
necessary for postmasters to read not
only the English papers, but to ac
quaint themselves with the contents
of newspapers regardless of whether
the contents were printed in Hungar
ian, Polish, Italian, French, Yiddish,
or wnat not. That was the most un
. desirable task ever imposod upon the
postal establishment. But we got
away with it! Notwithstanding the
postmaster general was denounced
from one end of the country to the
other as an autocrat, a tyrant, and a
person who was constantly practic
ing arbitrary acts, we enforced that
law with moderation, with justice,
and with fairness."
The matter of the readjustment of
parcel post, and space basis for mail
was also reviewed by the postmaster
general. Alluding to the latter
change in practice, he said:
"Immediately the sluice gates of
criticism and denunciation, not to use
stronger terms, were opened and di
rected against the head of the postal
department, as being a man lacking
in vision and business qualifications.
That seems to be the chord on which
they delight to play, that I am lack
ing in business qualifications. So suc
cessful were they in resisting what
the government was contending for,
that they strangled the great appro
priation bills for the postal estab
lishment that year, and for the first
time in its history the department
was operated under a continuing res
olution." .
With reference to his abandonment
of the use of pneumatic tubes and in
crease in second class mail rates, he
said:
"It is just and fair, and I stand for
it, and it will not be repealed because
of any action on my part, regardless
of how widespread the criticism may
be or how denunciatory its terms."

HOW THE DOUGHNUT WAS
MADE FOR OUR YANKEE BOYS
It was the doughnut which led the
Salvation Army into fame with the
doughboys of France, although, of
course their deeds of mercy main
tained the fond friendship which the
famous crullers first made.
And it was "Pa" and "Ma" Bur-
dick, the doughnut king and queen of
the Salvation Army, who served
overseas for two years, who intro
duced the doughnuts to the dough
boys. Incidentally they are back now
aiding in the campaign to secure suf
ficient funds for the Salvation Army
to conduct its work in the United
States for one year. Oregon has
been asked to make its contribution
June 22 to 30 and a state-wide or
ganization of business men, promt
nent women and Jive-wire iilks are
preparing to handle the campaign.
But for the ladies here is "Ma"
Burdick's recipe for doughnuts (this
is a batch of 600 cut portions accord
ing to the number you desire.)
SALVATION DOUGHNUTS
Twelve quarts of flour.
Six quarts sugar.
Twienty-four tablespoonfuls baking
powder.
Three teaspoonfuls salt.
Three quarts milk.
Fry in deep fat.
"The secret's in the mixing," said
Ma."
"Ma" Burdick's Shrapnel cake was
another favorite with the boys. Here
is the recipe:
SHRAPNEL CAKE
(36- pieces)
Two large cups sugar.
One cup molasses.
Two cups milk.
One cup strong black coffee.
Three heaping teaspoonfuls cinna
mon. '
One heaping teaspoonful cloves.
One teaspoonful salt.
One teaspoonful baking soda.
Four teaspoonfuls baking powder.
Two large cups raisins (the shrap
nel).
Flour to make a stiff batter.

farming is hard work, and that in
his advancing years is compelled tn

family, however, primarily to give
his children better educational ad
