The Cost of Incompetence

Municipal grafters the heroic scale of
Tammany bosses will fitch millions from the city
treasury. Bold, brave stealing is the hallmark
of the Jesse James type of city politician. But
the incompetent administrator of city affairs is
known by careless of public funds He per-
nits little leaks here and there and runs city
business in the style of backwoods store-keep-
er. A dollar here and another there slip need
lessly from his fingers with an aggregate of
thousands lost. Little leaks will sink big ship.
State accountants in connection with local
bureau of research have unearthed in Dayton
losses to the amount of $18,41495. This sum
would pay the wages of 300 men working at
$500 day for one year. And yet this big sum
represents not malfeasence but incompetence,
end lack of ordinary business knowledge. With
the clumsy old federal plan at work in so large a
town politics drifted into the hands of couple
of machines and faithful henchmen received
the jobs.
It was learned that 500 had been paid out for
Sunday newspapers wherewith mayor, solicitor,
safety directors and election board members

could while away the tedious hours. For two
beautiful gold badges $40 adopted Certain
officers felt an itch for embossed stationery and
held up the treasury for it. Others charged in
bills for services never rendered while still other
city dads forced small contractors to spit fees"
BY paying out few thousand dollars Dayton is
making thorough overhauling of affairs and in
stalling stristly first-class expert administra-
ton. few thousands will be SPENT many
thousands will be saved. And the one plea of the
old machines in opposing the reconstruction was
that commission government would be too ex-
pensive and would raise the tax rate!'
There is no need to adorn this tale with a
moral or suggest who might profit by it.

1--WE Suffer From the Bad
Citizenship of Good Men. -
Josiah Strong
Another Holiday

There may be question as to the future
of our corn, CATTLE or baby crop, but there can
be no question as to the future of our holiday
crop. The United States congress is taking care
that we suffer no shortage that
while ago Mothers Day. and McKinley's
Day, and Peace Day, and other various and sun
dry days inaugurated by the sovereign peo-
pie of the land. Then Discovery Day and
now there has been introduced to the House
new bill to make Fathers Day legal occasion
By the time grandmother and grandfather and
our good maiden aunts have been formally re-
cognized, the popular hope that every day may
cation.
But after all we haven't too many of them
at least, not yet. 1t that we are rather be-
hind in the procession of the nations on this one
score and don't unbend often enough. When our
torefathers set up institutions, hunting, fish
ing and similar games the rule very few
spent their time in the rigid, military organi-
cation of the shop factory which tightens up
the tensions of life. Existence was more free
and easy and there was little need for relaxation
But now things different. We live fast and
hard and need unbending and then.
Therefore welcome, DISCOVERIES Day. May
it soon come that saloons, schools and banks will
not be the only ones to enjoy it. And while we
have Columbus in mind it will be a good thing
to re-read Joaquin Miller's verses on the great
explorer. Ebert Hubbard calls the poem "the
greatest ever written by an American" Per-
haps that's so; they're good, anyhow

COLUM BUS

Behind him lay the gray Azores
Behind the Gates of Hercules;
Before him not the ghost of shores;
Before him only shoreess seas
The good mate said: Now must pray,
For 10! the very stars gone
Brave Admiral speak; what shall l say"
"Why, say: Sail on! sail on! and on"
my men grow mutnous day by day:
My men grow CHASTITY, and weak"
The stout mate thought of home; a spray
OF salt washed his swarthy cheek
What shall | say, brave Admiaral, say,
If sight naught but at dawn"
"Why, you shall say at break OF day:
Sail on. sail on! sail on. and on"
they sailed and sailed, winds might blow,
Until at last the banched mate said:
why now not even God would know
Should | and all my men fall dead
These very winds forget their way,
For God from these dread seas is gone.
Now speak, brave Admiral, speak and say"
He said Sail on! sail on! and on!"
They sailed They sailed Then spake the mate:
This mad shows his teeth tonight.
He curls his lip, he lies in wait,
He lifts his teeth, as if to bite
Brave Admiral say but good word:
What shall we do when hope is gomez?
The words leapt like leaping sword:
Sail on! sail on! sail on! and on!
Then pale and worn he paced his deck,
And peered through darkness. All, that night
OF all dark nights. And then a speck-
A light! A light! At last light!
1t grew, starlit flag unfurled!
1t grew to be Times burst of dawn.
He gained world; he gave that world
Its grandest lesson: "On, Sail on"

The Parcel Pust.

The mail order houses have
succeeded in having the parcels
post put into operation. This
bill was very much opposed by
the local merchant, all over the
United States thinking it would
injure his business by giving the
mail order man cheaper trans
portation. il
What is the local merchant
going to do since the parcels post
has come? Will he sit down and
let the mail order man gobblc up
his business or will no do like
the mail order house does? AID
