LOYALTY TO THE SERVICE

The Harding administration prom
ises a revival of business methods in
the management of the departments
at Washington. For long time, dur
ing which the leaders of both parties
have been to blame, the departments
at Washington have been places
where political followers were an
chored at good salaries and with lit
tie consideration for the public SER
vice. These departments are now be-
ing reorganized and good many re-
forms are being adopted, one of
which is the getting rid of large
number of useless ofice-holders.
Yesterday a more important rul-
ing was announced. 1t was to the ef-
feet that those employees who could
not cooperate with the heads Of the
departments in carrying out the pro-
posed reforms, but who busted them
selves with obstructive methods and
criticism of the plans of the admin
istration would in the future be call
ed on to walk the plank.
: That is as it should be. There is
too much of this not only in the pub
lie service but in private buusiness
as we'll. During the last few years
when help has been hard to find,
there, has been a, growing disposition
on the part of the employed to usurp
the Offices of the employers and run
business on their own ideas rather
than according to the instructions
Of the people who are responsible for
running expenses. The people who
do not invest money in enterprises
and who have never made any to in
vest, and who, have not been con-
spicuous by their success in life
generally think, or seem to think,
that they know a great deal more
about running the, business of the
man who built up the business than
he does. They are arraogant in the
assertion of their views, and when
they do not prevail there is a-dispo-
sition to criticise the owner and
employer to other employees and to
the public. Such conduct is subver-
sive of good service.
To be true there are many val
klable suggestions which employees
may make to their employers, and a
good employer is always ready and
willing to consider any suggestion
from good employee for the bene-
fit of the service to be performed.
Such suggestions made in the prop
er spirit are to be courted, but the
nnal decision in the matter of ones
own business must be made by the
owner or manager, and that en-
ployee, whether in the government
service, or in private employment,
who knows more than everybody
else who cannot obey the rules of
the establishment, who desires to as
sumo the management of the estab-
lishment without authority, and who
criticises his employer to people on
the outside, has passed his day of
usefulness. He should mend his
ways or quit, and if he refuses to
do either, there is but one end to
him in we'll regulated establishments.

New York.-"Pulp-wood costs and
values have now reached a point where
foresters can prove to paper manufac-
turers that they must seriously con-
slider plans for the growing of their
future supply of timber" said Il. S..
Kellogg, secretary Of the News Print
Service Bureau Of New York, in re-
cent address at the Cosmos Club be
fore the Washington section, Society
of American Foresters.
"A survey of the situation shows the
urgent need of immediate and large
scale efforts to provide a permanent
supply of raw material for the basic
industry Of paper making. To say that
the United States last year produced
S,8OO,O00 tons of wood pulp means lit
tie to the ordinary reader, but the
problem takes on more concrete as
pect when it is realized that 100000
cords Of wood, chiefly spruce and hem
lock, were used to make this quantity
of pulp. The magnitude of the indus
try is also more fully appreciated
when it is known that the United
States in 1920 produced 100000 tons
Of paper, or lat pounds erscapita.

NOT TO BE MADE TO ORDER
Songs and Emblems That Live In the
Heart of People Must Have
Foundation.

To wait for state flower or a
state song to discover itself and make
itself appropriate might be an inter-
minable and disappointing vigil. Cen
turies could intervene. 1t is not mere
restlessness that asks for a flower to
be chosen or song to be written
ready. to hand, declares the st. Louis
Globe-DemOcrat. Posterity may find
substitutes that are better, the fruit
Of happy circumstances, but we in
our day may have at least our ready
made symbols to feed the romance in
our souls.
Ancient people acquired these spir-
itual emblems and patriotic lyrics
through a long and at times painful
history. Something stirring has to
happen to give them birth. Then our
soldiers who were in the great war
find the poppy the all-signifcant floral
insignia of their heroic days and have
adopted 1t as the visible reminder of
them. Ten million silken poppies are
to be worn in America on Decoration
day.
