OhiO's Congressman will "get busy" If they

Now there is chance to spend some of this
money where it is really needed and where it
will do good. The new order of politics teaches
us that humanity's needs are to be first, and
that the common man is to be kept above the
special interest. If there is substance to the
professions of the new administration at WASH
ington there will be little hesitancy about maxi
ing a change in the method of appropriating
for river improvements, Every dictate Of
right ard justice demands that this change be
made, and every dictate of common sense de-
mands that Ohio's needs in this direction, since
they are obviously the most pressing, should be
recognized at once.
The individual citizens of the state have big
part to play however, if anything is to be
accomplished. Our delegation in Congress
