The buyers strike, referred to by Governor Calkins, in his address at San Francisco this week, is not :, regularly organized movement, with the exception, possibly, of purely local movements, such as overall clubs" and egg boycotts. The policy of retrenchment in the matter is more in the nature of a silent pro- test against profteering, unorganized but very general in its scope, ex- tending from the Atlantic to the far corners of Alaska. And its stoutest adherants are the thousands of workers whose incomes were not fattened by the war.
 It is not surprising to find that the great silent protest is beginning to make an impression. but too late, we believe, to permit of a quick recovery from the business stagna- tion which the profteers themselves

CLEAN HOUSE

The party which so signally achieved victory in the recent cam paign, through its platform and leaders promised many important reforms. It is expected, comments the Cincinnati Enquirer, that these promises will be translated into eff fective and valued performance.
 Among what should seem to be more easily corrected evils which for long have been fastened on to the Government is the excess federal employe incubus. There are thous- ands of these, men and women, who are unnecessarily duplicating work or not at all essential to depart ment or other public service. Mil lions of Republicans, as well as Democrats, will rejoice to see this barnacle army have to go, as it should have to go.
 The taxpayer expects to be heard and needed during the incumbency of the new administration. The tax payer no longer is satisfied 10 per form as partisan goat. He desires relief. He is entitled to relief. He is aware that he has been footing the bill for the services of huge and useless body of public parasites. MT. Harding, during the campaign, promised the dismissal of Hundreds of thousands of unnecessary federal employees" May the Lord give him strength to keep that promise against the assaults of a hungry horde of partisan patronage seekers who are certain to attempt to com pei him to break it.
 To do this will be no easy task. The man who is big enough and brave enough and honest enough to force the looping off of useless job holders will, by so doing, prove beyond precedent his fitness for the highest official in the world.
 A superfluous employe means a waste of the public money. But the new President will find it extreme ly difficult to convince senators, congressman, cabinet officials and others that any public job now in existence is useless. Still, if he has the will, he can do it. The facts are known to the public, and the public will stand by him.
 As an earnest that the taxpayers burdens are to be frightened, let the ,barnaele army promptly be driven out.
