ago, the public took comparatively
little interest in the doing of congress.
Now the whole country is seething
with discomfort. The authorities of
the state and nation are called upon
to think out and organize and operate
new plans fer social well being. The
ordinary politicians type of mind is
not up to that kind of thing.
The typical politician is a mighty
good fellow, pleasing and affable. who
wins his way by his kindly smile and
hearty handshake his personal inter-
est in the people he meets. He is a
clever talker. He can convince peo-
pie even when he dos not know much
of what he is talking about One can't
help liking him, without feeling any
confidence in his ability TO so to the
bottom of economic questions and
build new systems of business and
government.
What is needed is men more Of the
business type. People of this tempera-
ment are accustomed to take grip
on some practical situation full Of
difficulties, to estimate Alright the
human and physical forces that con-
stitute it, and to organize ways of
working that are practical, economical
and efficient. They accomplish this
by patient attention to detail, untir-
ing search for information. and thor
ough study and mastery of the ele-
ments of their problem.
Men of this kind are badly needed
now in national and state government.
1t is time to turn away from the
takers and let the doors run things.
