On Again

The collector of internal revenue in
Philadelphia received a check for one
cent the other day to cover balance
due the government for which bill
had been sent. Tha zeal of the Demo
cratic officials who detected the short
age is comparable with the laxity
which permitted other officials of the
same politic'l stripe to allow billions
of collars to slip through their fingers
during the war with no appreciable re-
suits to show therefor. Both were
extremes of inefficient administration.
What the country needs. and what it
is going to get after March 4th next,
is a common sense supervision of its
affairs along safe and sane lines.
