COMMONWEALTH RECONSTRUC-
TON.

The biggest reform movement
from the standpoint of practical re-
Mobilization of state government is
along the line of reducing expenses
and increasing efficiency by CONSOLE
dation Of functions and reducing
the number of bodies that have to
do with administration and levying
tax burdens.
In Idaho, the cabinet system, of a
small number of heads Of important
departments, all under the power
of appointment and removal by the
governor, thus making the executive
elected by the people responsible in
fact as we'll as theory for the state
government, has been worked out
and enacted into law,
In California, Governor Stephens
seems to have a well-defined pro-
named an efficiency commission to
work out a plan which he will
back before the legislature. In Cal
ifornia the idea of party RESPONSE
bility is brought out, by the gov
ernor saying that the majority par
ty must act.
His argument is that the growing
activities of the state can no long
er be cared for under the present
top-heavy, overlapping multitude
nous commission system, where both
wall, and a miscellaneous aggrega-
ton of ob-holders become the dom
inant force in public affairs of the
state
His idea is that the important
department of the state should in
clude all these activities in proper
| functional groups and eliminate
the overlap of duties and expendi-
lures. Ten or twelve divisions will
be set up with an appointiye head
for each. pledged to raise the stan
dard of service and reduce the over
head fixed charges.
The multifarious boards and com
missions incur expenditures, seek
increased appropriations and com
posed OF many individuals have
great expense accounts, and yet nc
one can be held personally or of
ficially responsible at a succeeding
election, while if appointed by the
governor he must make good or help
put their party out of power.

WOODROW WILSON'S ANGELIC
SENTIMENTS.

There is another thing which
the critics of this government have
not observed. They have not OBJ
served the temper of those splendid
boys in kahki that they sent across
the seas. l have the proud con-
seriousness of the reflected glory Of
those boys, because the constitution
made me their commander-in-chief
and they have taught me some les
sons. When we went into the war,
we went into 1t on the basis of dec
larations, which it was my privilege
to utter, because l believe them to
be an Interpretation Of the purpose
and thought Of the people of the
United States"
And when those boys went over
there with the feeling that they
were sacredly bound to the realiza-
ton of those ideals; that they were
not only going over there to beat
Germany; that they were not going
over there merely with resentment
in their hearts against a particular
outlaw nation; but that they were
crossing those 5000 miles Of sea in
order to show Europe that the Unit
ed States when it became necessary
would go anywhere where the rights
of mankind were threatened"
My God! Doesn't that get your
goat? How much longer are we to
be tantalized and tormented with
this sentimental slush? Will this
blethering nonsense never end! l
have the proud consciousness Of be-
ing the father of a boy who is still
in the service. ! have observed his
temper, but l never heard him say
anything about reflected glory. nor
the basis of declarations, or the ide-
alistic interpretations of purpose
and thought, or of being sacredly
bound to the realization of heaven
ly ideals.
l did, however, hear him say, as
thousands of others have proclaimed,
that he voluntarily Joined the SER
fin out of the Kaiser, tan the hiae
of the Crown Prince and everlast-
ingly wallop their bloodthirsty
tribe of damnable Huns. That
he went across with justifiable
resentment in his own heart
and righteous indignation in his
soul and vigorous determination in
his mind to show the Teuton out
laws that America would stand no
more damn nonsense, and to teach
the pillagers of Belgium an unfor-
getable lesson. That he, with
legions of other Americans sons,
would go through hell to protar.

visit the building in an enhobling
spirit of reverence, discovering with
pride the names of soldiers who were
of the kith and kin of their ances-
, tors, or who were their own for
bears, for not all of those who gave
their lives in the war were mere
youths. Some were young men who,
with more than the ordinary courage
of the soldier, went to war leaving at
home their wives and children, or
wives who became the mothers of
their children after beginning of
their service, or after their supreme
sacrifice.

Keep Patriotic Fires Burning
Courier Journal Editorial)

Kentucky should keep alive the
flames of patriotism that has showed
itself so many times in the history
of the State and of the Nation. The
great war found Kentucky ready to
do her, part. What was done by her
sons who are now dead, her sons
and daughters who are living should
wish to keep before the future citi-
zens of the State; before boys and
young men especially, as a constant
reminder, to all generations, of the
duty and the responsibilities that are
to fall upon them.
Many cities and towns in Kentucky
may erect memorials, but it is es-
pecially fitting that memorial be
erected upon the campus of the Uni
versity of Kentucky as the tribute of
the State to Kentuclian's sacrifice in
the war, for there will be gathered
every year the youth of all parts of
the State; boys and young men who
are to become leaders in Kentucky.
The building, devoted to student
activities and to the general pur-
poses of the University, would i'm
press students constantly with the
spirit of patriotism.
It is proposed that the name of
every man from the State who died
in the war be placed in the lobby of
the building, to futher endear it to
the people. That proposal should be
adopted. Time would not diminish,
but would increase interest in the
names. Each would be of Legendary
value to a clan. Kentuchans 100
years from the present time would
