the right sort of man for the success

the right sort of man for the Success
sion.
The governments higher service to-
day is not as attractive, because not
as rewardful, as it should be. Salaries
are discouragingly low. Living ex-
penses are distressingly high. Private
employment for high grade men con-
tains many opportunities for the ac-
CT mutation of wealth and the enlarge
ment of influence.
1t has come to be the case, there
fore, that, as bidder for talent, the
governm ent is a bidder at disad
vantage. For many men-men of fine
capacity, who have not as yet made
themselves safe against the future
the lure of private life is stronger
than that of public life. Those in
private life are reluctant to leave their
clover, while those in public life are
tempted to share in the lush of that
clover.
AS the COVE rnment needs the best
talent today, let us hope that in these
two eases, which are pressing, talent
of 4 high order may be secured. We
want the best. Even if it may be as
sumed that the President has no
thought or desire of another term in
office, he wants, we may all be sure, to
bring his present term TO as success
full close as possible.
So let US hope that his search for
the right men may he rewarded; that
he may find them, and that when in
stalled for work they may have full
success. Everybody wants, or should
want, to see the country come through
at this gravely disturbed period in
shipshape, and we'll started on the
course the war has made necessary.
America first, America last, America
all the time! There is no better cry;
and everybody should utter it.

America.

This is from San Francisco:
"Headed by Yuan Shi Tao, former
fee minister of education in the Chi

EDUCATIONAL mission of twelve mem
|ers arrived today on the steamer
|hina. The mission plans to visit
Practically all Of the principal educa-
Fonal eenters in the country"
Not long since a meeting, lasting
everal days. took place at Atlantic
fly, which was attended by a large
lumber of foreign business men, who
ad come for the purpose in response
b an invitation from American bust
|ess men. The subject Of discussion,
= course, was the rehabilitation of
|usiness everywhere now that the war
as over. After the meeting, the for
ign visitors, still in charge of their
american hosts, made a wide tour of
Pie country inspecting manufacturing
|lan-s and informing themselves gen
rally about American business meth
DDS. They departed with words of
compliment on their lips. They con
essed to admiration for what they
ad seen, and said they had profted
" their inspection OF our resources.
During his stay in the country, King
Albert .of Belgium, ruler of prac-

enefit to his people. He had come

Tie Congressional Watchword.

Mr.. Mondell returns to the CUES
ton of economy. He tells the House
that big cuts in the estimates are nee
essary. and must be made. AS the
majority leader of that body he is
charged with the duty of supervising
the use of the pruning knife. He will
be busy man during the session.
There will be popular support for
this policy. The people are beginning
to appreciate the full size of the new
figures the war has produced. They
are of a character to arrest attention
now that there is time to give them
attention. While the war was in
progress the only thought was of
prosecuting it to a successful conclu-
sion. The cost was not taken into ac-
count. At later day the bills would
be audited, and all necessary arrange
ments made for the future.
That day has arrived, and the ques-
ton of the governments support con-
fronts Congress.
The most rigid economist will con-
cede that whatever cuts in the esti
mates are necessary must be made in
full light of what the country needs
under conditions apparent to all. The
national establishment has grown, and
must be supported according to its
size. Mr.. Mondell does not demand,
nor will anybody else demand, a pol
icy of skimp. Such policy would not
operate to the country's good, and the
party responsible for it would invite
defeat at the polls.
As may be seen at glance, there is
abundant debate in this subject; and
the occasion will be improved. There
are sharp differences Of opinion as to
this, that and the other thing for
which appropriations will be asked,
and those proposing such appropria-
lions will contend for them with
spirit. Here and there local interests
will enter into the equation, and in
crease the spirit of the contention.
Ordinarily this routine is not en-
livening. The public takes little in
terest in it, and even Congress ap-
pears to slight it. Supply bills are
discussed and passed by a compare
lively small number of members in
either house.
But something different is likely to
be observed this time. The routine
will now be full of matter in which
the country is keenly concerned, and
about which will want the fullest in
formation. And as next year is cam
paign year, when the whole of the
House and a third of the Senate will
be required to give an accounting to
the country, both House and Senate
will be at pains to make the record
plain, and as defensible as possible
from the stump. And much time
will be required for job so large and
so packed with difficulties.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

BY Way of Variety.
Our Johnny has picture book at
which 1 like to take look when
in some quiet little nook
He leaves it for awhile.
The stories never make you sad. The
morals pointed are not bad. The
pictures show spirit glad
That often wins a smile.
OF course, there's very little use in
poetry by Mother Goose. Her
literary style is loose,
And not of classic form.
And yet, somehow, like to greet the
dancing rhythm of its feet so
swift in motion and so neat
It keeps the pulses warm.
It never tells of wicked ways, of bur
glaries or shooting trays or big
transactions that amaze,
Conducted by crook.
And that is why I find a lure that
seems so comforting and sure
when on the quiet procure

DISASTER RELIEF
PLAN PERFECTED
American Red Cross to Pro,
vide Local Help.
Committees Soon To Be APP
Pointed in Many Conn
munities.


DO you belong to the Disaster Relief
Committee i'm your town?
II you do, or if you are appointed,
Il means that you are considered
brave, .considerate. eyen-tempered and
strong. To be appointed to this com
mittee is one of the highest honors
that the American Red Cross can be-
stow upon you; for the Disaster Re-
lief Committee. recently explained by
Harry L. Hopkins, director of Civilian
Relief, Gulf Division, American Red
Cross, is the great body of straight
thinking, quick-acting dependable per-
sons, organized in each community to
meet disasters which arise, be they
flood, fire, famine, explosion, ship
wreck, or earthquake.
In the thirty eight years since tho
American Red Cross was first organ
lied in 1881. it has participated in 1870
disaster relief expeditions at home and
abroad and has expended or directed
the expenditure Of twelve and half
million dollars. This covers the period,
up to, June LIST, 1919 the end of the
fiscal year.
America averages a dozen disasters
a year, Latest statistics compiled by
the Gulf Division, american Red Cross,
show twelve disasters and the Red
Cross gave relief in every one!. ~
In this immediate territory there
were grave disasters in recent years
the Gulf States storm in 1906 the Mis-
sissippi cyclone in 1907 the Missis-
sippi flood in 1912 and the second flood
in 1914. Then there was another flood
at Natchez in 1916, and more floods
and the boil weevil menace in Alabama
in 1917. In fact, 1917 was bad year
for disasters in the Sout'i, for during
the summer the tornadoes at Village
Springs and Carbon Hill and New
Hope, Alabama, brought about much
suffering. Everybody in this vicinity
remembers the Lake Charles. Louis
lana. storm, in 1918 in which the Gulf
Division Red Gross furnished sucas
great aid and at which time Harry l.,
Hopkins, director Of civilian relief,
went TO Lake Charles and directed the
e. ection~ of the tent city A. total OF
$4,000 was expended in this disaster
alone,isAnd ins19Il9ithe Corpus Christi,
Texas, storm was robbed ,of, much of
its horror through the prompt action;
of the Red Cross. ~ -
OF these ten disasfefs in the Gulf
Division in recent years. the Red Cross
has given supplies and spent money
to the extent of approximately s1OS,00O.
