THROW OUT THE INCOMPETENTS
What chance has Governor Cox to
escape bearing the odium that at
taches to the Democratic party for the
failure of the Wilson administration?
That nationally-known correspondent
David Lawrence, himself a Democrat,
says that “the people are eager to
know how far this Democratic nomi
nee is obliged to maintain in office
incompetent Democrats;” that “a
large body of voters want a house
cleaning in Washington, and they
don’t care much who does it;” that
“this element as well as the people
who are Democrats anyway but sick
and tired of the Burlesons and the
Creels and not altogether happy over
Attorney General Palmer’s policies,
can be reached by Governor Cox if he
makes it very plain that he will do a
thorough job of housecleaning if
elected.”
The main indictment which the
people find against the Wilson ad
ministration is' that it utterly fails
to do the nation’s business promptly
and well, and does it badly, at ex
cessive cost. They trace its failure
to the type of men that Mr. Wil
son appoints and to his refusal to re
move them, no matter how incompe
tent they prove, provided they please
him personaly.
Mr. Wilson is not content to ap
point Democrats; he must have Dem
ocrats whose minds travel along with
his own, who are subservient, lack
ing in independence and initiative,
therefore dull, even stupid. It the
law requires an appointee to be of
some other than the Democratic
party, the president goes anywhere
than to the Republican party, which
is the only other great party.
Effects of this method of selection
became glaringly apparent during
the war. Men whom he put at the
head of departments failed miser
ably, for example, Raker, Daniels,
W. B. Wilson, and the real work
was done by men whom he called to
their aid temporarily from outside the
political field, like Baruch, Hoover,
Stettinius, Ryan and others. The
emergency no sooner ended than these
men retired, and they were quickly
followed by the most competent men
in the cabinet—McAdoo, Lane, Red
field. The only incubus of whom he
got rid of was Creel, whose style of
advertising the administration is con
trary to the ethics .of every ad club
in America. He clings tenaciously to
Burleson, who has outdone any pred
ecessor in incompetent and tyranni
cal mismanagement of the* postal
service. He put Glass at the head
of the treasury department just long
enough to force further inflation of
the currency at the precise time when
deflation should have begun. He
would not part with W. B. Wilson and
Post though they have constituted
themselves guardians of the rights of
aliens to plot revolution. He makes
no improvement in the war risk bu
reau, though it has had more than
twenty months to catch up with ar
rears of work.
Affiliation of Mr. Cox with Mur
phy, Nugent, Taggert and Brennan
is no ground for the belief that, if
he were to throw out the Wilson men,
he would fill their places with bet
ter ones. Men chosen through such
influences would probably be no less
incompetent but would be far more
rapacious. The thousands of useless
clerks would not be discharged;
their number would be increased in
order to find places for “the boys.”
The sorry remains of the civil service
law’ w'hich survive the maltreatment
of Burleson and McAdoo wrould be
swrept awfay, and we should have
the spoils system undisguised. A
Tammany administration might eas
ily cost as much as a firstclass war.
When even Democrats pine for de
liverance from a Democratic admin
istration, it is plain that the over
shadowing issue of the campaign is
the Wilson record. Failure to make
peace and to form a league such as
this nation wishes to join constitutes
but one among many evidences of
its utter incompetence.
THINGS WE THINK |
Things Others Think and What We
Think of the Things Others Think.
Some folks claim their bad habits
do them good.
There’s too much quicksilver in the
mirror trust.
It is impossible for anyone to be
happy all by himself.
The unwritten law is not alone for
the illiterate, it seems.
—*•—
Man wants but little here below, it
is said, and he usually gets it.
The man who overworks is a fool,
in many ways, but he still has a few
on the do-nothing.
If “absence makes the heart grow
fonder,” the sirloin steak ought to be
prized very highly.
When a man marries the “boss”
girl he mustn’t kick if he can’t have
his own way all the time.
The Republicans will put their foot
in it if they try to raise the duty
on women’s silk stockings.
Men who go so far as to get a girl
to take poison for a joke should have
their funny bones extracted.
Guide posts to glory are set out all
along our pathway, but is is necessary
to be looking up to reach them.
One trouble with this old world of
yours and mine is that there are so
many big people who are small.
It takes a good man to handle
other people’s money, and a better
one to get any of his own to handle.
When a silver-tongued orator de
mands his lecture fee in gold coin,
he’s carrying inconsistency to the
limit.
The man who imagines his wife has
no influence over him is about as bad
ly fooled as the settina hen warmina
up a china egg.
The woman who earns over the
washtub a living for a covey of chil
dren has earned her reward beyond
the pearly gates.
A Philadelphia professor will go to
Hawaii to spend four months studying
snails. For senselessness that seems
to be going some.

After all the fun men have made
of women for their inability to throw
things straight, the suffragists are
hitting the mark quite frequently.
Being an American citizen in Mex

is a disqualification for the presi
dency, and that’s some compensation.
A woman’s one great fault seems to
be in the hats she wears—but the
reason it appears that way may be' be
cause the hat hides all her other
faults.
The man who treats his family the
same when alone with them as when
company is present, is a model hus

such to pattern after.
An eastern professor says he has

AIRFLIGHT TO NOME WAS
GREAT ACHIEVEMENT
The army air service is showing
commendable initiative in arranging
fcr a flight by army planes from
New York to Nom6, Alaska. Over
to Nome, the machines will be blaz
ing a pioneer trail. The vast stretches
the greater part of the 8,970 miles
of the Canadian Rockies, and the wil
derness of the interior of Alaska,
have never been the field in a simi
lar test of the skill and daring of the
twentieth century airmen. The diffi
culties to be overcome in the New
York-Alaska flight are, in a real
sense, of the same brand that faced
the continent conquering frontiers
men of the eighteenth and early
nineteenth centuries. There are the
same perils that come co those who
venture imo r.r imperfectly known
wilderness. There are the same haz
ards of storms and the treachery of
the elements. The danger of Indian
ambush and attack alone has been
spared the army aviators, a fact
which is balanced in some degree, by
the mechanical perils of a science in
its infancy.
The New York-Nome flight will re
sult in bringing far-away Alaska
closer than ever before to the conti
netal United States. The success of
the army flight will demonstrate the
feasibility of direct and regular air
communication to Alaska.
It will make easier the establish
ment of commercial and postal air
routes, by which the inhabitants in
the remote fastnesses of Alaska will
be able to get news and mail from
the United States while both are
fresh. By present means of commun
ication, most points in Alaska are ap
proximately 30 days or more from the
United States. If established, com
munication by air would be possible
in but a fraction of this time, to the
great profit and joy of the American
citizens who live under the Stars and
Stripes in far-off Alaska.
In trying to prove the practibility
of air communication with Alaska,
the army air force is rendering a real
service to the nation. It is demon
strating in practical fashion, that the
army is not something apart from the
nation, unrelated to its daily life. On
the contrary, the army is revealed
as dedicated to the service of the
American people in peace no less than |
in war. Such flights as these give
promise of advancing materially the
well-being of the hundred million and
more persons who owe allegiance to
the American flag. At the same time
they help to keep up a high pitch of
professional fitness among men in the
air service of the army organization,
and maintain their preparedness to
theet the supreme test of war.—
