PRESS COMMENT.
DOLLAR PATRIOTS"


Senator Kenneth Mcclellan, of Ten
nessec, has no good word for the men
whom he calls ''dollar patriots. BY
that he means men who have offered
their services TO the government and arc
being paid salaries of dollar year.
There are eases where rich men are
willing 10 serve the country and do the
best they know how, and who really,
know how, and TO do 1t without regard
to salary. There are probably others
who ere willing 10 serve for dollar a
year, for the name of the thing, just
that they may say they have served at
tune when service was needed.
There are probably others who are
willing to accept some sort of govern
ment position. for the reason they may
in that way get on the inside and be
enabled 10 get contracts from the govern
ment for business concerns in which they
are silent partners.
II is that class that Senator Mckellar
ls getting after with his sharp stick, and
il will not be denied If that bc true that
the Senator can give good reason ior
doing what he has been doing respecting
these dollar-a-ycar" patriots. II Will
do no harm To watch them, and II they
mean no harm they will not seriously
object to being watched. Knoxville
