Laurence N. Symnes.
lNEEElCIENCY.

More and more the public is being
brought to the realization of the fact
hat the average politician is an OBJ
Itacle in the path of progress either OF
nation. state or municipality. The
Industries that feel this inefficiency
most are the public utilities, the rail-
Dads and telegraph companies IN the
)ation and state and the local utilities
b the cities.
In commenting upon the harm done
the politician, Judge Ebert n.
Gary, head of the United States steel
corporation, recently said:
1.-THE gravest menace to this country
3 that the politicians who rule affairs
soday have so little at stake in the
,utcome of their acts They are little
affected if they turn prosperity into
depression. Few of them have large
bodies of employees dependent on them

hey had they would count the cost OF
action and they would feel heavier

after all. nation is dependent
upon its activities for success. Unless
you can fill mans stomach it is use
less to talk to him about nonmaterial
things. You cannot build on an empty
stomach. This applies to both nation
and man.
During my vacation l have had
time to think things over, to STUDY
khe general trend. have felt uneasy
Er the last two years. could see
slany dangerous elements in our So
eial and political life"
Concerning the public's profound
distrust of state lawmakers, Governor
O'Neal, of Alabama, recently said: IN
many of the states a session OF the
legislature is looked on as something
IN the nature or an unavoidable pub
lie calamity. .. Not only is the
converting of the legislature looked
forward to with dread. but while 1t IS
in session spirit of unrest prevails
and an adjournment is always hailed
with genuine relief
A remedy for this danger OF poll
teal inefficiency, at least as far as
municipalities are concerned. is sug'
gested by Paul T. Cherington. profess
sor in the Harvard graduate school OF
business administration. Professor
Cherington proposes that local bust
ness mems organizations should have
permanent standing committees, whose
sole business should be to see that all
problems affecting public utilities
should be taken out of politics.

and cruelties have been softened. The
care of the wounded, the treatment OF
prisoners and the recognition of non
belligerents are incidental phases of
war that have been improved through
the instrumentality Of a higher human
ity. In so-called civilized warfare"
there are no longer chain.shot, dunn
dun bullets, poisoning of wells, intro
duction of scourges, torture and mu-
tilation of the wounded. But civil.
lied warfare" is largely fanciful. War
as war has scarcely advanced. Deadly
foes who stand face to face are fired
with the asme blood delirium as when
Jeptha defeated the Ephraimites on
the plains of the Jordan; when the
body of Hector was dragged at the
heels of horses around the walls of
Troy; when the Roman soldiers made
living torches of the people of fallen
Carthage; when the French at Aus
terlitz pressed their bayonets through
the writing bodies of their wounded
enemies. and when at Torreon the liv-
ing were buried in shallow graves
along with the dead.
Historians of war have ever been
the master chronicles of their times.
The unfettered imagination scars to
the limitless heights of poetic mag
cry or descends into the black pits of
atavic savaSery, with all the diapason
of human emotion in between. In the
almost laconic narratives of the battles
enumerated in the Old Testament; in
the Homeric epics of the Trojan war;
in the vivid realism of Flaubert; in the
matter-of-fact horror of GuiZot and in
the simple report of the unknown news
correspondents at Torreon. it is the
same story merely clothed in differ
ent words. Here is an extract from
news account of the attack by Villa
upon beleaguered Torreon:
Last night the third and final as.
sault was delivered General Villa,
grimy with dust and sweat, a red ban.
danna handkerchief about his neck,
participated. He rode up and down
the lines swearing and cheering, ours
ing and calling on the saints. At times
he was apparently calm, and again in
a fury. Through it all he urged his
men forward, and all seemed to realize
that the attack was the last one. HUI
man flesh could not stand more of the
heat, the thirst and hunger and the
cruel scenes which followed one an.
other until the whole picture was a
confused blur of blood and fire, where
men in their dying agonies whined for
water or cried out uncanny vivas, petit
tons to Our Lady of Guadalupe, and
the other jargon of delirium.
This is merely paragraph taken
from an ordinary newspaper dispatch.
1t was written in the hurry and tur-
MOL of battle and with ''the stencil
of stale blood" polluting the smoky
air. But the picture it conveys is
shudderingly realistic. 1t is not the
story of Roman conquest. the inva-
sion of the Barbarians or of st. Bar
tholomew's night in Paris. 1t is a
story of today and it is a story of
war unchanged in it's elemental fea-
lures, unrelieved by the spirit of mod
ern civilization.

For over a year now people have
been asking, ''just why were the tax
payers denied vote on the matter
of bonding the state for two million
dollars to increase the size of the park
about the state capitol building? Thus
far the dear peepul' have been sun-
answered by their hired servants, the
state officials who put across" the
capitol grounds extension bill. Not
one has denied however the probable
ity that the two million dollar debt
would not have been saddled on to the
taxpayers had those same taxpayers
been permitted OF vote as they inter
preted their rights under the constitu-
ton of the state of Iowa.

WHAT is THRIFT?

A Pennsylvania girl has won the
prize that the American Society for
Thrift recently offered for the best
definition of Thrift Thrift she
wrote. "is management of your affairs
in such a manner that the value OF
your possessions is constantly being
increased"
The girl has come pretty close to
hitting the nail on the head, and in
simple language she has told the
secret of how to create personal capt
tai.
This would be discouraging world
for the man compelled to start life
without financial resources if it were
not possible for him to create capital
for himself
Every man has the glorious privilege
of work and not the least of the re-
wards of labor is the satisfaction Of
producing something. and turning part
of ones earnings into capital.
Don't misunderstood the meaning OF
the word capital. It isn't necessarily
q big sum acquired at one stroke OF
fortune. In most cases it is the big
aggregate of little sums, saved by
slow degrees.
Money begets money, but those
without it sometimes complain against
those who have it. forgetting that
every great fortune was born Of hard
ship and sacrifice on the part of the
present possessor or somebody not
very far back.
Such persons also seem to overlook
the fact that by hard work and thrift
thew themselves can build up the
nucleus of fortune and put them
selves in a position to enjoy the earn
Ing power of money.
Will you be able to live on your
savings when you reach the time OF
life when you ought to retire from &C
tive work?
Do you realize what you must do
now to be able. later on to live on
your capital? For the average man
the only way to reach that happy
state is to save Systematically por-
ton of his income week by week or
month by month.
