RED TAPE AND POLITICS.

In reviewing the progress of preparations
for war Washington dispatch says
"The country at Large has little ap-
probation of what has already been
accomplished"
This statement contains considerable
truth, yet almost in contradiction is a state
ment of the president which deplores the
''lack of that celebrity which the situation so
apparently demands" Undoubtedly, much
has been accomplished But for govern
mental red tape and politics much more
would have been done in the same length of
time.
Departmental red tape is today charged
with responsibility of the inability of the
government to assemble in concentration
camps the national guardsmen of the coun-
try weeks after they were under arms. It
is responsible for the delays pertaining to
the draft, for the incomplete organization
of industry and transportation, and for in
adequate home guard defense On the other
hand, politics has INSTRUCTED legislation re-
lating to taxation, food control and other
matters The departments on the one hand
and congress on the other have called upon
the people to awaken without being awake
themselves.
If the country is as efficient as it must be
to be effective in war it will have to cut red
tape and cut out politics. There is good rea-
son generally why the people do not ap-
preciate what has been accomplished. Re-
suits have not yet reached down to them

OUR CITY SCHOOLS.

The opening exercises, for the scholastic
year of 1918, of the city public schools
is one of the interesting features of the
week.
The children of today are the hope of
tomorrow, for they will be the men and wo-
men of the near future. 1t is their training
in the home and in the school room that
will fit them to be the best asset of society.
Trained in the home to honor God, to be
true and upright and law-abiding, equipped
in the school room with the practical and
theoretical knowledge and information that
will help in fighting the battle of life, the
child today is the hope of tomorrow
We have good public schools in Dawson,
and we are all proud of them We pay high
taxes to keep up these schools. For twenty
eight years the property owners in Dawson
have paid their money to provide these
schools.
The News is glad at the beginning of the
school year to congratulate the board, the
superintendent and all teachers, the pupils
and parents on the work of the past and
the promise of the future.
