THE SIZE OF THE JOB

AS the smoke of criticism dies away we're beginning
to get of what the country has actually
complished since we entered the war. Statistcians
have been comparing preparations with the
biggest previous task the United States has tackled
in this generation the building Of the Panama canal
Every American is justly proud of that feat. And yet
in comparison with what have done in the last few
of the most striking comparisons:
We spent, for building the canal, about $300,000O00
And that expenditure was scattered period of
10 years. in year did the canal expenses exceed
the 10 months from April L. 1917 to February 1, 1918,
enough money to build eight Panama canals. And that
is only one branch of vast military system We
could also buy eight Panama canals with the money that
the quartermasters department has spent in 10 months
to clohe feed and house soldiers The building
of the army environments is said to have been bigger
job than the building the canal And it done in
about one-thrtieth of the time
In creating signal had about little
to start with had in the of the canal. Men
had to be trained plans formed engines and planes in
vented factories established all from the ground
up. Already have put into that branch of the
ice three times much money put into the
nal and perhaps than three times much effort
The work of five army bureaus in these months
has involved expenditure of 20 times the construc-
ton cost of the canal.

SUPPORTING OUR WAR POLICIES

The American people united in supporting the
present policies of the government. Every one
is in favor of the present and carrying it to
successful conclusion means the defeat of Ger
many and the overthrow of autocracy. There is no
half way ground and partzan politics will not be per-
mitted to interfere with the program
In Spokane the people have united defeat c. Dill,
democratic congressman from the Fourth Washington
district because he voted against the declaration of
war; and opposed President Wilson's policy The
democrats have united against Dill
In the Fifth district the republicans have united
against W. L. La Toilette republican congressman for.
exactly the same reason The American people will
stand for partizan politics in this crisis and
pared to turn down of their party quickly
they would member opposing party, if he does
stand squarely for the continuation of the and
support the administration loyalty
