SHELVING THE INCOMPETENTS
(By EDWARD KEATING)

Congressman from Third Colo. Dist.
Good news comes from Europe.
The fat old generals and admirals,
who held most of the responsible and
well paid positions in the American
army and navy, are being ordered to
the rear.
BLACK Jack" Pershing, who COM
mands our European army, and Ad-
miral Sims, who has charge of our
European navy, will not tolerate the
incompetents and are. demanding
young officers who have plenty Of
pep. The rejected ones are begin
ming to wander into Washington and
are being assigned to soft berths
where they may continue to draw their
salaries but where they cannot do
much damage.
The shake-up was bound to come
and it is fortunate that it was brought
about before our boys were required
to do actual fighting. 1t is to be
hoped that Pershing and Sims will
keep up the good work until all the
dead wood" has been eliminated from
Americas fighting forces.
Our military system has been sadly
out of date. There was small chance
for men of energy and capacity to
forge to the front. Seniority and not
merit determined promotions, The
young lieutenant graduating from
West Point knew that if he lived long
enough he would become a general.
He might be brilliant or stupid, ener-
getic or lazy. 1t made little or no diff
ference. All he had to do was to keen
alive and seniority would place the
stars of general on his shoulders
and in due time he would be placed ON
the retired list with handsome sal
airy and chance to cut a figure in
Washington society.

so HOT 1T FROZE
THE WATER SUPPLY PIPE
Olathe Criterion:-

This paradoxical condition is caus-
ing some grief among the patrons OF
the town water works and Is the first
time that ice has been a really serious
problem in our water system The
frozen section of the pipeline, which
is about mile in length, is located
just below the intake on Dry Greek.
Here the line is laid through trench
in solid rock and in many places Is
entirely uncovered. In past years the
stretch has been protected from freez-
ing by several feet of snow, bot this
year il is as dry as bone. And thus
il is that the failure of winter to ap-
pear on time has caused the pipeline
10 freeze.

C. E. NETHKEN MAKES
ANOTHER ADDRESS
Talks To Crowd At the Central
Opera House.

Mr.. c. E. Nethken, special agent
Of the federal income tax department.
who is here this week with Special
Agent Thomas Hunt for the purpose
of stirring up the people to the i'm
portance of making their income-tax
reports, made his second four-minute
speech last night, appearing at the
Central Opera House before big
audience. He was given a most at
tentiye hearing, and his address I'M
doubtedly did much good for this
cause
Mr. Nethken again declared that II
was the patriotic duty of every male
and female who is affected by the
law to make prompt report He
said that failure to do this was equiv
alent to theft from the government
at time when the government need
ed the support of all citizens. He also
again pointed out that no one may
hope to escape payment OF the income
tax, as the officials will have in
their possession lists of all persons
whose incomes are over $500 per
year.
All single males and females whose
incomes are $1,000 or more per year,
and all married persons whose in
comes are $4,000 or more per year,
are affected by the law, and are re-
quired to fill out the blanks, which
may be obtained at the office of Col
iector P. r. Harrison, in the local
postoffice building. In many instan-
ces, however, persons whose incomes
are above these figures will be ex-
empted, owing to the fact that there
are offsets, and it would be well for
all such to investigate. They are re-
quired to make out returns. as well
as others. Failure to comply with
this law means heavy penalty.
