THE EMPLOYMENT SERVICE.


One matter which will be warmly
debated in congress before many weeks
is that of the United States employ
ment service. The service makes
strong claims of what it accomplished
during the war, in finding work for
a great body of men. On the other
hand. it has been sharply criticised
for alleged extravaganza.
1t is absolutely essential to find a
job for every willing worker. The
existence Of a large body of unem-
ployed people subtracts from the total
production and prosperity of the
country, and creates social discomfort
and disturbance.
SO the government can well afford
a large sum to keep nation wide
employment service going. The fact
such a service would cost a number
of millions of dollars proves nothing.
1t is worth it.
The employment service, like the
other war activities. was very hastily
organized Very likely 1t did spend
more money than was necessary. The
task of organizing the labor forces OF
the country should now be Thought
fully studied out as a permanent fi,Dc-
ton of government on strictly busi-
ness basis with politics all cut out.
Keeping everybody employed is 60
ing to be the big problem for this
country for several years.

showed signs of having been soured
by disappointment. He remained a

The excellences claimed for John

HE is an outstanding 100 per cent
American!
He thoroughly believes in the
United States of America, its ideals
of liberty, and its governmental insti-
tutions.
HE is unalterably opposed to any
scheme for creating a hybrid govern
ment Of the world, whereby Europe
and Asia would inevitably dominate
this country and control all of its poi-
cies for peace and for war.
He contends that equal Justice

advocates a searching and fearless
inquiry into the underlying causes for
the present widespread social and in

and the application of efficient rene

HE seeks a square deal for labor.
He has for many years advocated
equal suffrage for men and women.
He believes that Bolshevism,. !. w.

movements should be strongly taken
in hand, and that leaders in attempts
to overflow our institutions should be
imprisoned, or deported as in the case

He advocates a policy of prompt

grave national perils or threatening
evils confront the people, and has no
patience with middle of-the-road OF

HE does not believe in dangerous
experiments tending to radically alter
the form of government now existing

He believes that all classes of peo-
