Send Petition to Senator

The following petition. bearing the
signatures of fifty-one Of our citizens
was sent to Senator Hitchcock. The
The petition was presented to fifty
two men, one refusing to sign. Lack
of time prevented securing many more
signatures.
Red Cloud, Nebr., Feb. 18th, 1918.
Senator Hitchcock
'S"y Washington, PFC nSoe1'
We have the gr~eatestrf faith and most
implicit confidence in President vii!
son and Secretary Baker in their con-
duct Of the war and believe il left un-
hampered they will quickly and sue
cessfully bring this war to an end.
Just criticism with proof of it's justice
is to be encouraged, but criticism
without proof Of its justice is to be
strongly condemned, and you have
~lamentably failed to prove that your
criticism was just. We believe, that
Wilson and Baker have infinitely
greater sources of information as to
what is being done in wal prepare
ton than you or any other of your
associate critics, and their ability and
patriotism are above question. You
find it easy to criticise but can you do
better?
W. condemn you for the fight you
are making on the President and War
Department on the manifest grounds
that you are giving aid and comfort
to the enemy, discouraging our sold
iers at the front and delaying war
preparations. You will remember that
very likely you would have been de-
feated for senator had it not been for
the fact that it was believed that if
elected you would stand by and sup
port our president in this great crises,
which you have failed to do.
We therefore ask you to get behind
and support Mr.. Wilson in the fight
that is being made upon him, or re-
sign, come home and give US an OPP
portunity to select another senator
and as it is ia be hoped with better
results. We can say confidently that
your action is condemned by at least
80 per cent of your former supporters
in this vicinity.

ECONOMY MAYOR HYLAN'S START.

"a duties Of New Works chief municipal executive, Mayor
Hylsn turned straight TO bis administrative family as 90 far
constituted and read its members a programme Of economy calculated
10 starle by it's specncness.
The new Mayor did not stop at the general proposition that "the
government Of the city must be put on a war basis" He pushed on
TO ways and means:
There will be 10 salary increases for employees now re-
eeivins more than $500 per annum.
No head of department will certify to a payroll that con.
tanS The name OF any employee not performing the function
for which his title calls.
Commissioner will contine themselves to office, spacious
enough only for health and efficiency OF service aud to furni
tue simple and businesslke
City automobiles must be used for city business only
The practice OF having automobiles calling at the homes OF
commissioners must cease
City office hours shall DO from nine in the morning to
five In the evening. City employees headed by their com
missioners and departmental chiefs shall be at their desks at
nine O'Clock and shall spend their time until five at work for
the city.
Another Objectionable practice " e shall abolish Is tina, Of,
having commissioners o r subOrdinates spend two hours at
luncheon.
No appointments are TO be made by commissioners, TO
positions In their several departments until evidence OF the
necessity OF such positions has been submitted TO the Mayor.
Useless positions must be abolished.
The services Of the soIaned efficiency expert, who Is in
fact no expert at all, must be dispensed with.
Public employees must share With the general public the
sacrifices Of the war.
Thus Mayor Hylan 10 the member, Of his official fsmu,
