GIVE THE
WEST A CHANCE

The new water power bill, passed
by congress and signed b. the Presi-
dent, means wonderful changes in
Western industries.
1t mean that five transcontinental
railroads would passenger and
freight trains at greater speed and
less expense.
1t would meal building great fac
tories in all Western states and saw
ing the haul Oh raw material East
and manufactured good West.
1t would mean cheaper power for
farmers and fruit growers with which
to put water on arid lands on a scale
that is now impossible.
But all these great possibilities for
the West depend on the interpreta-
ton of the law by the national COM
mission that executes the law.
The rules and regulations that are
adopted to put into operation the
practical details of the new water
power Jaw should be plain and sim
pie and not difficult to comply with.

REORGANIZATION
CONTEMPLATED

Preparation, through i orders, for
some very important work, 10 be
taken up by congress when it reas-
sembles. is now the occupation of the
bureau of efficiency. When congress
meets again there will be laid before
it reports resulting from long investi-
cations into the duplication and over
tapping of the work OF the govern
ment departments. There is 4 great
deal of both. Much has ONE about
by the haphazard methods adopted by
the administration during the war
resulting not only in great loss OF
useless bureaus, which long ago
should have been discontinued. To
detach and destroy this ivey vine of
waste and extravaganza spreading
with decay over the administrative es-
adjustment of the government, Con-
gress, on March l and November 4,
1919. directed the bureau of efficiency
to work along two lines. 1t was told
to investigate the scope and charac-
ter of statistics needed by the gov
eminent in its business and also TO
look into the duplication of this work
now, and the methods of compiling
and presenting statistical information
in official use, together with such
recommendations as it may deem
proper"
The bureau has already looked in
to nine subtreasuries and has a plan
of closing them and redistributing
their work. 1t also has found a vast
amount of duplication in the foreign
service. The overlapping is prodig-
ious. A dozen divisions or sets of
men at high salaries are doing the
same work in different departments,
sometimes two in the same depart
Many of the department heads
seem to know little or nothing OF
what their department actually is do
ing or how it is doing it. A big bust
ness house could not be conducted in
that way and be successful more than
4 week or two. The people, through
taxation, make up the loss in the fed
eral department mismanagement. And
the department goes on that way un-
less the people decide to have some
else take il over.
The bureau of efficiency recon-
mendations will not merely attempt
to reshuffle and deal out the admin
Istrative functions and activities as
hey now exist. That is not Congress
intention. The reports will contem-
plate the entire problem of the fed
eral service with a view to co-ordi-
and recognizing all functions
md activities so that the best posi-
Die establishment for the future of
he country and the American people
will be built up, no matter who runs
It. Congress intends to devote a
great deal of it's time to this survey
Of a much tangled-up, oppressively
expensive public service and to COM
,lete a thorough readjustment of
Uncle Sans workshop.

ELECTRICITY
ON THE FARM

Little things may change d%estinies.
The country woman who has always
cleaned smoky lamp chimneys and
filled dirty oil lamps, is a good deal
impressed when she visits her city
cousin and sees the latter turn on a
flood of light by turning a knob. This
convenience makes a big difference
in the work of a year, but it is only
one of the modern labor saving
schemes that make life so much cas-
Ter for the women.
The farm homes are rapidly putting
in these appliances of modern civili-
cation. They don't cost anything in
the long run They save labor that
can be used a great deal more pro-
ductively.

RECREATION
AND YOUNG LIFE

A man said the other day that he
had no patience with the boy who
would rather play ball than read a
good book. Many country people
take this point of view. It's a long
time since they grew up.
1t is just as necessary for a live
boy to play games as for a colt to
kick up its heels. Winnemucca should
give ample scope for its young life,
and should encourage the young
crowd to go in for sports and ath-
letics. If it fails to do so, it won't
hold its young crowd.

country politician like Lincoln and
Mckinley for it's leader at a time of
national emergency. 1t has nominated
a self-made man, who has come up
slowly along the road millions of
others have travelled in this land of
opportunity toward the confidence
and respect of his neighbors. 1t has
presented for the Presidency a modest
man, who doesn't think he knows it
all, but supposes that the job of run-
ming the United States government is
too big for any n man to handle,
and that he should call about him
other strong men for counsel. All
this is offensive to the supers of
super-men; believers in the false pre-
tense and buncomb and rhetorical
1ubdub and fake advertising of the
exaggerated egos who know it all
and can do it all without even having
to think while they do it.
Still, there are a lot of mere hui
man beings in the country, and it is
going to be up to them to elect the
next President of the United States.
They have had a very large and
~nauseating dose of this enhaloed and
inspired brand of craftsmanship, and
have found the medicine worse than
any disease could be. They have lost
confidence in patent nostrums and
exalted egos in politics and public
life. They long for a return to old
fashioned human common sense and
old-time patriotism and devotion to
the country and the flag. All this
the candidacy of Warren G.. Harding
and Calvin Coolidge represents and
the Democratic and near Democratic
press and politicians may scream all
they like; sensible people will not
fall for their CUFF. The party in pow
er has a humping coming to it ON
November End, and, the day of mir
acles being over, there is no escape
from getting it.

"BELITTLE HARDING Is NOW
THE DEMOCRATIC KEYNOTE

The administration press is now
engaged in a concerted campaign OF
belittlement of Senator Harding,
coupled with deliberate misrepresen-
tation of the circumstances connected
with his nomination. The convention
which nominated Harding and Cool
idge was more clearly free from boss
or machine domination than any ma
tional convention held in years-yet
the campaign liars, from the New
York Times and World on down, are
telling us that Harding's nomination
represented merely the acquiescence
of servile delegates to the dictation
of a few big bosses. This persistent
mendacity is not confirmed to the
press which openly wears the admin
istration collar-it extends to all the
unfair to Republicans" press amo
tagged under the pretense of indie
pendence.
The same breed of publications in
dulged in the same sort of campaign
after the nomination Of Harrison in
1888 and of Mckinley in 1896. In
neither case did this misrepresenta-
ton and belittlement serve to stop
the tide that ran toward Republican
victory. General Harrison was de-
scribed by these newspapers and
magazines as an obscure Indiana
lawyer" and he was pictured as the
mere wearer of "Grandfather's hat"
referring to the fact that he raj
a grandson of William Henry Harri-
son. OF course, everybody knows now
that the first President Harrison was
far from being the intellectual equal
of his distinguished descendant; that
no stronger intellectual quantity eve
filled the Presidency than the second
Harrison.
William Mckinley was described by
this same type of publication as an
amiable ~mediocrity. A nationally
known college president declared that
Mckinley had a chocolate eclaire
back bone" He was called a mar of
one idea; a country politician" a
small town product too provincial to
be President of the United States.
These shafts of malice and ignorance
fell harmless at McKinley's feet, and
the world knew Mckinley, before he
died, as one of the strongest as well
as one of the gentlest figures in
American history.
1t is true that Senator Harding is
not, and does not claim to be, super
man. The people are sick of super
men, whom they now know to be only
men surrounded by supers. They are
weary of nationally advertised mir
acle men. They are Disguised with
exalted egos, claiming to be so much
bigger and better than other men that
they take no advice from any quarter
but from voices in the air. They have
seen what a mess "a be made of
national and international affairs by
public men who place themselves on a
pedestal and demand that their dis
ciples and dupes fall down and wor-
ship them
Actually, the Republican party has
had the effrontery to nominate a real
human being for President. 1t has
named for the Presidency a man not
better known, nationally, than Lin
coin was when he. too, was nominated
at Chicago. 1t has taken another

une have been made familiar
more than once with our opinion
of Morgenthau's report and its
effect on the Jews of Poland.
All we wish to say now is that
Sir Stuart Samuel did his duty
not only as good Jew but still
more SO as a good Englishman.
He had investigated the situa-
ton in the most thorough and i'm
partial manner possible and did
not hesitate about presenting the
truth to his Government and to
the world. He did not disgrace
himself or his country by trying
to whitewash the government, if
government it be, of misplaced
piano grinders and demagogues,
for as a proud citizen of Britain
and true Jew, he knew that to
do so would only harm the Jewish
cause in Poland and besmirch
the fair name of England who
sent him to probe into the barbar-
Gus deeds of a nation which, by
a caprice of history, was granted
an unearned and undeserved free
dom for which it finds no better
use than wholesale massacres OF
innocent Jews.
AS for Our Polish brethren, we
feel confident that, owing to Sir
Samuel's fearless account Of their
plight, the civilized world will be
compelled to- intervene in their
behalf.-Jewish Tribune.

with protocol in any case, and
the Jews know we'll enough that
their word will not be believed

LANDER.

LANDEN.
To all who knew him or OF him
the brutal murder Of DR.. Israel
Friedlaender was heart-rendlng
shock to. the realm of Jewish
scholarship and public life, an IT.
reparab1e loss. The report in the
press, aside from it's tragic nature
is not at all clear. While in
Ukraine with Rabbi Bernard
Kantor, administering relief for
the Joint Distribution Commit
tee, they were set upon by ban
dts and murdered. The report
of course calls them victims of
the Bo1sheviki, 1t is so easy to
establish an alibi by charging
everything sinister to the Bolshe-
Wiki, as we Jews know from sad
experience. Whether the real
assassins will ever be brought to
book we do not know. But by
the irony of fate, he who wrote OF
the treatment of the Jews by the
Russians and Poles, met his death
in their land at their hands, his
murder confirming the indictment
against them.
One may characterize DR..
Friedla nder's death as martyr
dom. Knowing that in all prob
ability his writings about the
Poles and the Russians had
gained for him their enmity, he
willingly answered the call to
help relieve Jewish suffering.
Never did task call for greater
self-sacrifce or willingness to face
danger. If we recall correctly the
emissaries of the Joint Distribu-
ton Committee entered Ukraine
at their peri1,-for Our govern
ment could not assure their safe
ty. Still they went, called by the
woe and misery of their kin. And
so DR.. Fried1aender met the death
of hero, a hero of peace and OF
human compassion.
1t is difficult to evaluate the
loss to Jewish scholarship.
Though professor of the Bible at
the Jewish Theological Seminary,
some of his finest work was in
the field of Jewish-Arabic learn
ing, and his position among the
Arabists was commanding one.
But Fried1aender was not mere
1y a scholar, sequestered in his
study and a1oof from the world.
On the contrary, he played most
active part in Jewish life. AS
