bred in the false doctrines of extra constitutional government it demands reversal of the burdens placed upon the people through disregard of the sane functions of government; func- tions which must be directed with wisdom and encompassed with thrift.
 The world war has been ended for two years; yet the burdens of that war rest heavily upon the shoulders of the American people. Waste which may be viewed with toleration under the stress of haste of war. cannot be so regarded at times of peace. We are at peace. The technicalities of the situation do not remove the fact that we have no war with any land, nor do they alleviate the injury done the American people during the past two years and before the war, under the administration of the executive de- partment of the government by the Democratic party. Retention in gov ernment employ of vast numbers of employees, the occasion for whose em- ployment has passed. retention of taxes. divesed for emergencies, beyond the period of their initiation and their necessity-these extravagances coupled with such inefficiency as has been manifest in our postoffice department, such failure of cooperation as in- vestigations have disclosed in the navy department, such injustices as have marred the war department, have aroused the people to an mitigation which can not be satisfied only by discharging those servants who have the poles those who would palliate their offenses and who would con tinue them.
 Problems of Peace Important
 The problems of peace are not less important than those of war. They demand as high dedication and as lofty fulfillment from those entrusted with the administration of government. War is a temporary thing, horrible and prosecuted always with the pur- pose of ending it, with honor, victory and speed. that the return may b- made to peace. Peace is the normal state of man, to be abandoned only under great pressure; to be resoughi with diligence and to be maintained with sincerity. So in the time of peace we need statesmanship and we need allegiance to our national foundations our constitution, first that peace may endure and. second. that we may as 3 people prosper.
