as well as farmers, village folks and
merchants. It's everybody for him.
self here, and the devil take the hind
most"
In the above graphic language an
editor recently described the civic con-
ditions prevailing in his town. At first
!lthought it would seem almost hope
less to try to develop town in which
the spirit Of unity is so lacking
If half the people stand on one side
and throw cold water while others
try to do something, community en-
terprises can mot be success. II
there are jealousies and bitter. rival
ries, if business men never consult
each other about mutual interests, II
different sections Of the town ana
rural elements, are antagonistlc, you
can't get impetus and momentum
enough to put over community pro-
jects.
Yet the conditions our editor friend
describes are just what have existed
in hundreds of towns that have de-
veloped civic movements. SO let no
community be discouraged merely De-
cause the spirit of knocking exists.
The cold cynicism Of the most confirm
ed kicker can be penetrated by the
right appeal. Show him what other
towns have done through civic ana
business movements. Tell him tne
story OF actual results accomplished,
of business built UP, community Ia
cilities created. educational institutions
developed. You can plant spark OF
faith in his heart. Then put MN Oh
some committee where he will have TO
do something besides knock, and ne
may make the best worker in the
bunch.
The results that can be accomplish
ed when you get all elements OF
town and its surroundings working
together, are marvelous.-DeLand Rec

son, and was subsequently vice chairman
of the democratic national committee, and
acting chairman during much of the
campaign. President Wilson made him
secretary of the treasury in his first cabi-
net the following year.
Mr.. McAdoo has been married twice.
His first wife, whose name was Sarah
FL. Fleming, died in 1912. after mar
ried life of twenty-sevcn years. In May,
1914, as every one knows, he married the
presidents daughter, Eleanor Wilson.
OF Mr.. McAdoo's activities since 1913
and especially those during the war,
there is no need for me to speak in
detail here. He was put in charge Of
the railroads, after they were taken
over in December, 1917, and operated
them throughout the war period. Mr..
McAdoo told me an interesting bit Of
secret history in connection with this
matter. He stated that the roads were
taken over largely because the allies
were on the edge of starvation through
lack of American food, which could not
be moved to tidewater in this country.
They actually curtailed munitions to get
food through. Mr.. McAdoo fatty denies
that government operation was either in
efficient or wastefully expensive. He
states that a steady and bitter propa-
ganda to discredIt government operation
has been conducted. and that it has been
successful in misinforming the public
mind to an astonishing degree.
l might add that he makes the same
charge in regard to most Of these So
called war scandals.
mo war In history was conducted with
so little waste and graft as this one,'
he declared.
ut is true that money was spent
prodigally, because we had to organize
prodigiously, but such expenditures were
true economy In the end.
THE best informed statesmen and mill
tary experts expected the war to last at
least until the summer Of 1919.
when the armistice was signed, the
war was costing us $50, 0O0, 900 a day.
Americas big scale efforts undoubted-
ly ended the conflict six to nine months
earlier than would otherwise have been
the case.
by spending as we did we saved to the
country the cost OF SIX months war, or
$40, s00000.000 This is to say nothing Of
the far mere vital aspect of the matter
the many thousands OF additional Amer
lean lives which were saved by the early
termination Of the conflict Who is sor-
did enough to measure those lives against
the dollars which were spent, II is true,
prodigalIy, but with the maximum ef-
feet, NJ r time when such expenditure was
needed ?"-Copyrighted by Bruce Bliven.
