orbe failures of the Administration

"The failures of the Administration
in the conduct of the war are we'll
nigh .numberless. They began with
the obstinate refusal for two and a
half years to make ready, and where
they will end no man can say. 1t is
almost impossible to cite an instance
of where an Administration enort
really succeeded The soldiers were
started In training with wooden guns
and odd-lot uniforms, drilling in mud
and sleeping in insanitary camps.
They are returning without funds,
many Of the wounded without proper
hospital allotments. We have had the
airplane breakdown, the ordnance
breakdown, and the ship-building
breakdown The country Is strewn
with war material of every descrip-
ton which the government bought
with a prodlgality beyond reason and
never delivered, and the great gas out
put ended in dumpage at sea because
1t was realized too late. But two OF
Fords Eagles ever flew, so that al
most the sole exception to the general
success of American individual enter
prise is to be found in the factories OF
pacifist and presidential favorite.
Our troops were transported In for
eign vessels, or foreign-built vessels
operating under the American flag.
and Great Britain and France equip
ped them with airplanes, guns, and
partly with clothing.
where pressure Of public opinion
compelled Administration reforms and
able men were eventually drafted to
carry on war-work, results at once be-
gan to appear, as far example, when
Charles Schwab took over the build
| ing of ships, Stettinius became our
| Quartermaster INTACT, and Ryan be-
gan on the airplane program. But
these reforms we're adopted too late
to be of effective war service.
Comparison Of successful Ameri-
can enterprise and exasperating ad-
ministration failures presents the
most damning indictment Of parti-
san. sectional, narrow-minded, inef-
ficient bureaucracy to be found in all
the pages of history. But 1t has its
bright side. 1t indicates that the peo-
pie themselves are there with the
goods; that 1t is the Administration
which they we're beguilded into sup
porting on the plea, he kept us out
of war that is rotten to the core. And
| in 1920 the American people, selecting
the branding iron Of the Inspector
Generals Department, should burn in
to the hide OF the Democratic Donkey,
4. c., meaning Inspected and Con-
demened'."

INSPECTED AND CONDEMNED

Washington, February 1S-The Re-
publican Publicity Association, thru
its President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne,
Jr, today gave out the following
statement from its Washington Head
quarters:
HAS it ever occurred to you that
practically every endeavor of the
American people in the war resulted
in the most phenomenal success.
while in almost every instance the eff
forts of the Administration ended in
dismal failure?
Our soldiers, themselves, suddenly
called from peaceful pursuits, briefly
rained, poorly equipped, put up a
fight the like Of which Europe has
never witnessed The Liberty Loans
were as a rule highly oversubscribed;
the war. savings and war thrift stamps
were brought to the limit; a people
whose prodigality with food had once
been notorious performed marvels In
self-denial and conservation. Contrib
utions to the Red Cross, the Y. M. C.
A., the Y. M. H. A., the X. c., war
chests, tobacco and literature funds,
and countless other activities to anne
liorate the soldiers lot, were hand
somely responded to, and generally
boosted far over the limits set. Ev-
cry one of these war organizations
rendered splendid and amazingly eff
fective service. Producers of war
equipment, from the manufacturer of
trucks to the knitter of socks, came
through in fine shape. That the end
of the war found the government stor-
age spaces glutted with billions of
dollars worth of material was no fault
of the makers, but must be blamed to
the dllatory Mr.. Baker.

BACKACHE is A WARNING
daysyille People Should Not Neglect
Their Kidneys.

Backache is often natures most fire.
quent signal of weakened kidneys. To
cure the pains and aches, to remove
the lameness when it arises from
weakened kidneys, you must reach
the cause.-The kidneys. If you have
pain through the small of your back,
urinary disorders, headaches, dizzy
spells, or are nervous and depressed,
start treating the kidneys with a test
ed kidney remedy.
Doan's Kidney Pills have been
proved good and are especially for
weak kidneys. Doan's have been used
in kidney trouble for over so years.
Read Maysville testimony.
Mrs. e. Sphar, e. Second and Wal

Doan's Kidney Pills fail to help any
one complaining Of their kidneys. /
have been greatly benefited by them
myself At times my back has aoh-
ed and I have suffered from lameness
through the small of my back. When
l have been in that way, have used
a box or SO Of Doan's Kidney Pills,
which procured at Chanslor's Drug
Store. They have always kuickly re-
moved the trouble"
Mrs. Sphar is only one of many
Maysville people who have gratefully
endorsed Doans Kidney Pills. If
your back aches--if your kidneys
bother you, don't simply ask for a
kidney remedy - ask distinctly for
DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS, the same
that Mrs. Sphar had - the remedy

PRESIDENT WILSON
SHOULD EXPLAIN

Reading In the newspapers that
President Wilson had appointed Geo.

delegates 10 represent the United
States in the conference between the
Allies and the representatives OF Rus
STA in Princes Island recalls that
twenty five years ago book with the
title, Between Jesus and Cesar"
written by George d. Heron, Congre-
gational Minister and Professor OF So
cial Science in Iowa College, made ap-
peal to the idealism of one intensely
interested in the subject of Applied
Christianity. Only general impress
sion remains leaving no accurate data
upon which to base mature, pres
ent judgment.
The writer next heard of Professor
Heron in the summer of 1898 or 1899
while attending a Y. W. c. A. Confer
ence at Asheville. N. c. In attendance
upon the Conference was DR.. Eber-
hardt, Instructor in Physiology and
Anatomy and resident physician in
the Presbyterian College for Women,
Columbia, South Carolina. DR.. Eber-
hardt was the sister of Mrs. George d.
Heron, who with her three or four
children had come to Columbia for
counsel and comfort from DR.. Eber-
hardt.
The year previous Mrs. Rand and
her daughter, women of large wealth,
had offered to defray the expenses OF
Professor Heron for a.year's study in
Europe. The impecunious college pro-
fessor accented the offer with the APP
prevail of all concerned. Mrs. Rand
and her daughter also went to Europe.
At the expiration of the year of study,
Prof. Heron returned to tell his wife
that henceforth his life would be spent
with Miss Rand, and giving his wife
Miss Rand's check for $4,000 return
ed with Miss Rand to Europe, taking
up their residence at Bernie.

he intends to visit the devastated bat

He will also visit London, Paris,

defended free love, denounced the
church, and all existing governments
including our own. He writes: "The
coercive family will pass away with
the coercive economic system"
Professionalism stands-though 1t
doesn't stand very well today-by
keeping man in an attitude of fear
toward the unknown"
There is not a bit Of spiritual diff
ference between the Standard Oil

ciety in America. 1t is no longer a
question whether you will have So

you to decide what kind of revolution
you will have"
To promote the propagation of these
teaching in this country, Professor
Heron founded in New York City The
Rand School of Social Science. At

which are issued publications in ad-
vocacy of the teachings. Among the
publications is one now in the hands
