The successful business man has
learned the lesson that the girl who

does not make 4 competent worker.
This fact wns known to the Young
Women's Christian Association long
before the efficiency expert introduced
1t into business circles. by serving
the girl workers the Association also
serves the business which employs
her.

Why All This Criticism2

Whence comes this constant stream
OF criticism of the national admins
tration? The war is over and won; It
WAS won In half the time Estimated
for the task, but still the flood Of
violent complaint and bitter criticism
continues. There 10 no explanation
except the fact that the criticism 10
inspired-inspired by one Of the most
disreputable plots ever conceived In
the history Of American politics.
It is not the fathers and mothers Of
boys who lost their lives who COM
plain; 1t Is not the fathers and
mothers Of the wounded; 1t 10 not tho
home folks who are welcoming the
heroes from the battlefields Of France
and Belgium nor, for the most part,
1t Is the parents of the boys who
must stay overseas until the job 10
completed and the Hun Ia officially
ushered into his kennel. These folks
are not complaining; they knew they
had big Job on hand when they
went In, and they are only glad that
the United States played so glorious
a part in It's sudden ending.
hut the political critics are not and
never will be satisfied. They are glad
peace has come but they resent the
fact that q Democratic administra-
ton saw 1t come. They cannot COM
plain Of the result, 80 they complain
Of the manner In which 1t was &C.
complished. The little details Of
everyday consequence are giving
them the gravest concern. In other
words, they are dealing In picayune
politics.
Admittedly there were mistakes,
and some big ones. hut on the whole
the job was performed with degree
OF thoroughness and celsrity which
astounded the world. Civilization
needed fresh men to fight It's battles,
and they were furnished. More might
have been done In the way Of air
planes and artillery but the biggest
part OF the job was handled splen-
didly and the United States turned
the scale from defeat to victory.
The carping criticism to which
congress IL now listening 10 disgust-
ing to any fair-minded person. It
means only that the Republican
party is straining every nerve to dis
credit the administration for its con-
duct of the war. In that criticism
results count for nothing and the Ore
