Nuisance of Incompetence

We would acknowledge receipt OF
n circular letter from the Federal
Board Of Education including letter
by DR.. Frank Crane to the effect
that while there is so much criticism
Of the government attention should
be called to the really good and
first class thing Uncle Sam is doing.
this being what is being done with
the $50, OOO, 900 appropriated to help all
those who have been incapacitated
by the war to fit themselves for jobs.
The government" 1t continues,
now pays men from $50 to $40 per
month according to a mans depend
ents and the cost of living in the
locality in which he is trained. These
men are trained at many Of the best
professional and trade schools in the
country. others are trained ON the
lob with some practical firm; Still
others prefer to keep their present
positions and study in night courses
without training pay in order to ad-
vance themselves"
This sounds WELL" much good I'M
doubtedly is being accomplished and
those eligible should be encouraged
TO take advantage of the opportunity.
Perhaps some have been discouraged
about undertaking it. Seemingly
there has been reason. Too many
have wanted a finger in this lucious
appropriation. Evidently there has
been conflict Of authority as the re-
suit of which there have been dis

get to curtail by that much the

Among the evidences of inefhciency
the case of a poor fellow who lost a
leg and hip in the war is cited.
His congressman inquiry into the
case. followed by kilograms was not
replied to until Al days elapsed. The
patient was examined three times
with no result, it is said. Had his
congressman not interested himself
in the case it seems very probable
nothing would have been done about
it in time to provide the assistance

pears only one Of many. Congress
should follow this investigation
through to a finish, replace incom-
potency and then see that it func-

NEW YORK, October 1 Especially
After three days reaction, in which
more than half the ground gained last
week was lost, the advance in liberty
bonds was resumed, and once started
made rapid Roadway. The demand was
particularly keen for the AVS of the
third loan. which got up over point.
The fourth ANS were not far behind;
they were up nearly a point. Other
government bonds were little changed.
The French IS continued to hang
around 101 u, and the Belgian 7ks. 9S.
Swiss SIS were trifie firmer at 103% 70.
Conforming to the continued rise
in the railway shares, railway bonds
maintained their upward tendency.
There was a, particularly keen de-
mand for convertibles, like the South
ern Pacific, the Chesapeake and Ohios,
the st. Pauls and the Baltimore and
Ohio's.
st. Paul convertible AVS at 73%
were up over a point. Norfolk and
Western convertibles were in active
demand around 1913, following the
jump in the stock across par. Erie
convertibles were higher, and the
prior lien As were strong at their high
of 58h. St Louis and San Francisco
incomess were quoted as their an
nual coupon of 6 per cent. They sold
around 81 all day, which was the
equivalent of so. their high point.
