GALBRAITTs DEATH.

~ ELAyVARE members OF the American Legion, in
~ common with aher brethren in all sections OF the
United States have been shocked inexpressby by the
tragic death Of Colonel Galbrah the beloved and ener-
getc head Of their organization That shock share1
by all outside the Eegion, who have watched with ad-
mraton his aggressive and persistent fight in behalf Of
American soldiers sailors and marines who were dis
abled in the World War.
Commenting upon his work, a contemporary says:
"Beieving in action, he impatient OF the delays
and restraints and never hesaed to take short cuts and
use plain speaking TO break up bureaucratic opposition
In fighting the cause the wounded before Congress he
hammered and hit with drecness and force that broke
down obstrucons. To him the Sweet bill, providing for
the proper care and relief OF the disabled veterans is
largely due.
'But Colonel Gabraiihs services went even beyond
this He was one Of the first to the re-rise Of the
head Of hyphensm last year. and smote it, He tore its
mask away as Won Mach testify.
AS veteran Of the Colonel Galbrath is entitled
to burial in the National Cemetery at Arlington. This is
nttlng resting ground In fact IL is to be hoped that
the Government will now plot of ground at
Arlington dedicated TO the commanders OF the American
Legion They the servants of great cause national
figures heading great body of veterans What more
appropriate than to create such final resting place,
where Colonel Galbrah would be the nrst to e."
That view and that hope arc shared by the veterans
and the people Of Delaware who have followed with ap
proya the course OF Colonel Galbrath since he was
elected commander of the Legion.

The NerU Shipping Board
(From the New York Tribune.)

For months shipping conditions,
dificult at best, have been made
more dificult by lack Of a shipping
board able to formulate a policy and
put Il into effect. Admiral Benson
has been compelled TO function in an
interregnum, and shipping COM
panies have not known what to ex-
pect The mere nomination of a
board is a distinct gain, and con-
firmation may be expected to be
prompt.
The new board. unfortunately too
largely composed Of men with little
special knowledge. and thus not
equipped for a running start, will
face a task OF great magnitude. 1t
may we'll solicit and should receive
the fullest measure of popular sup
port and the freest chance to do
it's work. The habit Of Congress to
grill the Shipping Board at every
opportunity should be conquered or
indulgence in IL be suspended for a
time.
The country would have an Amer
ican merchant marine re-establish-
ed. For trade reasons and national
defense reasons il is necessary to end
dependence on foreigners for inter-
national transport. The nations
economic prosperity and its safety
both demand success Of the marine
project. The imagirations of far
seeing men have been fred by
thought of the great undertaking
and they have courageously riskee
their fortunes to perform high pa
triotic service, but unless supported
they will fail It is for the rest OF
us not to put impediments in their
way and. to brush aside those that
exist.
The way out is not easy. but there
IS a way. The government should
get out OF the shipping business at
the earliest possible day. Private
concerns cannot compete with a rival
backed by the public treasury. Gov
ernment ships for which there is no
immediate use should be laid up,
thus saving the cost Of their upkeep.
The labor market should be left free
and wages not fixed at level above
Evening journal., 1921-06-10

that paid by foreign competitors.
Handicaps imposed by the seamen's
acts should be removed. And. fin
ally, a system of public assistance
should be devised and applied. It
is unreasonable TO expect an Ameri-
can merchant marine if the nation
is unwilling to offset the help that
other nations give to their merchant
marines.
The new Shipping Board is called
on to deal with an involved and
difficult problem. Not only is there
the fact that the existing merchant
marine is half public and half pri-
vate, but foolish courses have made
confusion chronic. So there is need
of patience patience that should
be rewarded by the board avoiding
the mistakes of its predecessors and
by the adoption of policies that are
sound, even though not at once
popular.

down the spending machinery itself
is just what the Congress members
as a whole do not want to do. Gov
ernment bureaus by the dozen may
be no more useful than junk so far
as concerns the public service, but
every one OF them can be for some
member or group of members a
political fertilization, garrisoned by
payroll subordinates, all of whom
have voting families, friends and
acquaintances back home." So the
abuses are perpetuated and the
squander they cause goes on.
A clear eyed. hard headed Senator
Smoot plans to put the whole Gov
ernment institution on a sound busi-
ness basis. A blunt, courageous
Senator Borah denounces the scan
dalous waste as a moral crime A
trained and experienced Secretary
Mellon tells the honest truth about
the plight into which the reckless
and selfish spenders are forcing the
National Treasury. President Hard
ing enjoins economy upon the ad-
ministrative department n d the
legislative appropriations. But when
it comes down to delivering a big,
broad, effective programme TO save
hundreds of millions from the bot
tom up there is a heroic retrench-
ment among the hundreds of de-
partments and bureau to the dumb
founding extent of 1000 clerks rep
resenting at the highest possible esti-
mate not $1O.0OO,OOO and more like

Spigot Saving;
BunghoIe Wasting
(From the New York Herald)

The country's indignant demands
upon the National Capital that II
practise economy as well as preach
it are beginning to bear fruit. But
as yet it is very small stun at that.
By July 1 there will be 1000 few
er bureau clerks in Washington than
there were at the first of the year.
And the cold truth about such a
petty saving is that il is only drop
in the bucket. At an average of
$4,000. 1000 clerks of the payrolls
will represent in cold cash $4,000
600 a year out of total Government
spendings of $1,000. 100000.
At a minimum the Government
clerks in Washington alone ought to
come down 10000 instead of 1000.
Before the war the number never
exceeded $4,000. On January 1
there were $4,000 on the payrolls.
But IL 10000 did come off in Wash
ington and II another 10000 came
off elsewhere. the 10000, at an an
nual average OF $4,000. would make
saving of only s60,000,O0O out of
the $1,000, 100000 of general ex-
penditure. SO even that would be
saving trickle at the spigot and
wasting a full flow at the bunghole.
All the useless clerks ought to be
swept out Just as all the useless
chiefs and assistant chiefs. and assis-
tants to the assistant chiefs ought
TO be swept out. The useless inves-
tigators, the useless specialists, the
useless swivel chain gentry all ought
to be swept out. But if the super
fluous departments, the overlapping
bureaus and the duplicating divi-
sions and subdivisions were scrap
ped. all the useless pay envelope
receivers and public fund spenders
that swarm in them would go auto
matically with them.
