We are always glad to give credit
for good sense ard patriotism wher.
ever we see it, therefore we take pleas
ure in reproducing the following from
the Tampa Breeze guardian of lib
cray paper):
eve don't take much stock in this
peace talk as long as Carranza and
the other Mexican bandits continue te
murder our soldiers and citizens
Somehow we have figured it out thai
it would be far better for them te
lose their lives fighting to maintain
the honor and integrity of their coun.
try than to be murdered in cold blood
by those cut-throat greasers."

One of the reasons why there is SO
much incompetence in the United
States government is the vast super
fluffy of clerks in the departments at
Washington. This superfuity amount
ed to scandal forty years ago. The
abuse began after the civil war, when
positions were found in the depart
ments for men and women because
they were Union veterans, or the rela-
tives of Union soldiers killed in the
war. This was not so bad in itself,
but it led to wholesale appointments
by senator's and congressman in order
to win votes. It will be remembered
by our older citizens that this was one
of the issues on which. the democratic
party elected Cleveland in 1884. But
Cleveland's election did not better
matters. 1t is true that Mr.. Cleve-
land despised extravaganza and did
what he could to abolish all abuses.
But he found no help from congress
men and the heads of departments,
who turned an army of republicans
out only to put an army of democrats
in. And, the abuse has steadily in
creased, until all the departments
have two or three times as many
clerks as they can possibly find use
for. They are the worst class Of
barnacles ever fastened on a govern
ment, wasting millions of dollars
every year and hindering competent
men when there is any real work to be
done.

The Germans are looking for a
strong man to lead them out of their
difficulties. The choice of the nation
seems divided between Won linden
berg and MacKenzen. Somehow they
don't seem to consider the kaiser, the
crown prince or any other person of
royal blood as strong man. With
the exception Of that in the veins of
Grand Duke Nicholas Of Russia and
King Albert of Belgium, royal blood
in this war seems rather thin.

All America, and in fact most of
the English-speaking world, will pay
tribute to James Whitcomb Riley,
"The Hoosier Poet" who died at his
home in indianapolis Saturday night.
Riley at the time of his death is prob
ably the most widely. read of Ameri-
can poets. His verses are very close
to the hearts OF the people, and he
deserves lasting fame. Yet we do
not think he is the equal of another
American poet whose works are com
paratively unknown namely, Sidney
Lanier. The difference is that Lanier

A few weeks ago, Josephus Daniels

by ordering all cutglass removed from
the table services of the warships a
gratuitous insult, by the way, to every
officer in the navy. Last week, the
navy lost two valuable Golfers, one,
the Hector, being sent to seat without
suitable hatch coverings. Josephus is
not only joke and nuisance, but a
danger.

Until we have universal military
service, military training should be a
part of the course Of education of
every high school in the United
States. This training should include
target practice. It's twaddle to say
such policy would make our people
aggressive. 1t would only enable
them to defend themselves, which now
they are most poorly prepared to do.

AUTOMOBILE TOPICS
Items of interest to automobile
dealers and owners will be
printed in this column from
time to time.
Oil In Crankcase and Grease in Axles
Should be Changed Often

That dealers should impress on
their customers the Importance of
sufficiently frequent renewal of the oil
in the engine is a point well taken by
Max Hagelstine, manager of the SER
vice department of the Studebaker
Corporation, Detroit, in telling Stude-
baker dealers that the car owner who
takes pride in describing how he has
covered 1000, 1900 or 1000 miles on
a gallon Of motor oil, is practicing
false economy. The great mileage
records he boasts of per gallon may
sound impressive, but while such an
owner is saving the price of several
gallons of oil, he is setting up wear
in the working parts of the motor
which viii eventually cost more to re-
place than any amount of oil that
would have been used.
Motor oil, no matter how good,
loses its lubricating qualities after
being in the motor certain length of
time, especially in hot weather." he
says. at disintegrates, leaving only
remnant of what was once good
motor oil, and it has no value as far
as fabrication is concerned.
''The wise owner will drain all the
oil from the crankcase of his car
every 1000 miles of service, regard
less of how much oil is still there at
the time. He will then replace with
good, fresh, clean oil. In doing this
regularly, he will prolong the life OF
his car indefinitely.
Another place where lack of lubri-
cation can do damage is in the rear
axle and transmission. For here the
action of the gears has the same effect
upon grease as the action of working
parts of the motor has on oil. 1t robs
the grease in time of the lubricating
qualities by the process of disintegra-
tion"
