A WHINING EFFICIENCY EXPERT.
Those who imagined that William J.
Bryan and Josephus Daniels enjoyed
monopoly among cabinet members OF
making themselves ridiculous wholly
overlooked the extraordinary ability in
that direction Of William Cox Redfeld.

Of business efficiency. Ever since he
attained to the dignity of a cabinet
Office Mr.. Redfeld has been charging
American manufacturers and business
men with inefficiency, has been assur-
ing them that times were prosperous
and that their failure to realize the fact
was due solely to their own stupidity
and their inability efficiently to man
age their business. But when the ter
rible "Eastland" disaster, which cost
nearly i 900 lives, brought charges Of
criminal inefficiency in the steamboat
inspection service, for which Mr.. Red.
field is responsible, he began 10 cry
that he was being unfairly treated.
Then 10 demonstrate his ability and
his grasp Of the subject, when marine
architects declared that it had long
been known that the il-fated East
land" was Improperly constructed and
lackei stability, Mr.. Redfeld made
the sage announcement that it was no
more the business OF the federal it,
spectors TO determine the stability Of
passenger vessels than it was the busi-
ness Of city authorities to determine
the stability Of buildings. Some one
must have told him. however, that
city suthorities do examine and super
wise the stability Of buildings, for now
Mr.. Redfeld has instructed that the
federal inspectors investigate the sta
bility Of all passenger er-canying vessels,

Washington Letter

WANTED "A POLITICIAN-A dem
ocratic politician who can exert the
spme, or approximately the same, in
Auence in congress as William ]. Bry-
an can secure regular employment in
the department Of State. No knowl-
edge Of or taste for foreign relations or
inter national law required. Salary
$500. A perfect snap for the man.
Apply, with references as to political in
Auence, to w. Wilson, White House,
Washington.
Extraordinary as it may seem, this
advertisement exactly sets forth the
desire of the president and qualifca'
ton he demands before he fills the
counselorship Of the department Of
state, place which was filled with
distinction by John Basset Moore and
which was made vacant by the the pro-
motion Of Mr.. Lansing to the secretary
ship Of state. The great necessity OF
the administration, as the president
sees is is to replace the political in
huence lost when Mr.. Bryan retired
from the cabinet. For that reason,
Mr.. Gibson is hunting such man as is
described above and because thus FAR
he has been unable to find him the
counselorship has remained vacant.
The president regards himself and
secretary lansing abundantly able to
care for the foreign affairs Of the ma
ton and il is his carefully designed
purpose to utilize the $500 salary
attached TO the position oi counselor
TO procure the services OF a shrewd
politician, able to exert potent influence
on the Bryan wing Of the party and
willing TO barter his influence Tor the
salary named. When such politician
be found the counselor ship will not
remain vacant another day. II a
man Of sufficient influence can be
found he will be awarded his full share
Of patronage and will be permitted to
name a successor to John E. Osborne,
assistant secretary Of state, who was
chosen by Mr.. Bryan for the sole
purpose Of maintaining intact Mr..
Bryan's political organization. The
purpose Of the president to en-
ploy important Offices to promote his
strength with congress is in accord
with a policy he has pursued in a
number OF instances, notably in the
case Of ex. congressman John w. Davis
now solicitor general, and ex-congress-
man A. J. Peters, now assistant secre
tary OF the treasury,

But he is still protesting that it is un'
fair to criticise him or to intimate that
there is any lack OF efficieecy in his
department.

The administration continues 10 run
behind at the rate Of about three quart
ers Of a million dollars per day. By
strenuous efforts 10 induce early pay
meats Of income taxes and by urging
prompt remittances by collectors,
the Treasury Department was able to
make book showing Of a balance Of
about SS2,0OO,OO0 on July /. That
this was forced showing for effect at
the close OF the fiscal year is now
proven by the fact that from the first
day Of the new fiscal year, the expen-
ditures exceeded the receipts and the
balance dropped to about 7,000,-
coo at the close Of business Saturday
July a. On the corresponding date
two years ago, with Republican reve-
nue. and appropriation laws in effect,
the balance was sl20, ,453 900.

Of Missouri sized men, by wigglinG

cave are provided with suits Of over

impeachment in climbing up and down
the passes to the various chamber;
that are visited. Each tourist carrie:
candle TO light his way, and in
the show places OF the cave an
illuminant is burned to display the
beauties Of the place.
So there are good many people
and things to see, and good many
things to do, while resting in the
Ozarks.
One Of the men who has counted
in that section is the Rev. John
Crockett, who was a student at West
minister College from 1901 10 1905,
and who, in those days, made his home
with the family Of the late I. w.
Boulware. Mr.. Crockett has been a
Presbyterian missionary to the people
Of the hills for FIVE years, and only
last week gave up his work in Taney
county to become pastor OF the church
at Pleasant Hill, Cass county. Dur
ing the time he was in the Ozarks he
preached from two to FIVE times a
week and received more than 200
people into the church. He was pres
ident Of the School Of the Ozarks last
year. The love OF the people with
whom he came in contact in his work
was shown a day or two before bis
departure by a picnic given in his
honor at a country cabin home. Boys
and girls and men and women-a hun
dred or two Of gathered TO say
goodbye to the man who had brought
them visions - and realization - oI
better living. 1t was the writer S
good fortune to be one Of the guests
at the picnic, and the fine impressions
obtained there will last as long a:
memory endures. Mr.. Crockett did a
great work for the Master as a real
shepherd OF the hills; but there is work
for dozen more like him, and the
churches OF Missouri that neglect to
contribute their part toward forwarding
the cause will be missing a great op'
potluniIy lol service.
One Of the pleasures that comes to

River country is meeting with the T.
w. Lynes family at Hollister. Mr..
and Mrs. Lynes and their son and
daughters are enjoying year in the
Ozarks, and all Of them do everything

LyneS and his son, Edward, are inter
ested in a boat business that is pros
porous. They asked to be remem.
bered 10 all OF their Galloway friends.

greaseless. It's very cheap. and
beats soaps or anything else all to
