WASHINGTON LETTER
By J. E. JONES.
OFFICIAL OPTIMISM

If the powers running this Govern
ment have the correct information on
conditions then it may be accepted
that the country is on the eve of a
fresh period Of an industrial expan-
sion The big fellows and the little
fellows in Washington are taking in
Eoptimistic tones, and the President re
marks in a review of the achievements
of his Administration: Surveying
the national situation as whole, it
is plain that we are working our way
out of welter of waste and prodigi-
Gus spending at most impressive
rate" He joins with US common NOR
tails in the joy of post-mortems- lin
explaining why American business
has touched the zero hours. Appro-
ximately $3,5OO,OO0,O00 have been
poured out under the direction of the
shipping board, and the Railroad Ad-
ministration has cost the Government
between 81 $50, 600, 900 and 1900, 000,-
200. Commenting on this latter fact
the President adds Significantly: "The
End is not yet" We are reminded
by the President chat the service
IF the national debt demands bill
ion and a quarter of dollars annual
v; that nearly a half billion dollars
was appropriated for war risk in
surance, vocational training, and the
maintenance of hosptials-in short
The care of those suffering the dis
abilities arising from the war; that
approximately a quarter of billion
dollars more was appropriated for
pensions on account of earlier wars.
The President reminds US "that half
The present total expenditures of the
Government arises from wars OF the
past" He does rot say that con-
siderable more than one-half of the
balance of the expense of the Co.
gernment are being voted by Con-
gress in anticipation of vars for the
future preparedness" they used
to call it. But he does refer to
his as similar burdens that are i'm
posed upon the taxpayers" and the
recognizes the existence of ga we'll
high-universal protest against a
possible repetition of gigantic con-
dict' We are told by him that the
world joins in "the common hope that
she conference in November may
tighten the burden of both armament
and taxation, not only for this but
for other lands"
In short, it is the view of the
Administration that the Government
has met and mastered one after an
other of the difficult situations inn
posed by the war. Legislative laws
are being explained by high officials
who never grow weary in relating
how they have FASTENED the progress
of the fundamental economic laws,
which are the essential factors in
getting the country back to nor
malcy.
CHEATING FOR HELP
FROM WASHINGTON
According to Vice-President Cal
vim Coolidge mo power on earth
can Immediately restore pre-war
conditions. The only way to come
back to them is to pay back and work
back" Mr.. Coolidge says "that
economic success will be found not
in resisting but in obeying econo-
mic laws. We can spend our
efforts in chickering's and lose, or
we can spend our efforts in industry
and win." The sage from Mass
achusette reasserts old truths that
everybody should know-but which
are not known broadly enough, in
aging that the Government can do

CONVICTIONS UNDER
MARITIME STATUTES

There are two hundred cases where
Federal prisoners were convicted for
violating wartime statutes. The
greatest part of these show that
the prisoners were sentenced to from
ten to twenty years for having OBJ
structed the draft, or other cases
held equally grave. Since the be-
ginning of the Harding Administra-
ton an investigation Of all these
cases has been in progress in the
office of the Attorney General. Ma
turaliy the greatest interest centers
in the case of Eugene V. Debs, and
pardon for him, and most of the
other prisoners, is looked for fol-
lowing the ratification of the peace
treaty with Germany. 1t will be
recalled that former Attorney
General Palmer recommended the
pardon of Debs, and submitted a
lengthy brief in support of his posi-
ton. President Wilson returned
the recommendation, with two words
written across it, simply stating that
the pardon was refuse. The Hard
ing Administration has had the Debs
case under advisement since its first
days, hut there has been no precipitate
haste to make the pardon, though it
is regarded as certain within a
short time.

results" The country has been de-
handing all sorts of things from
Washington, and to the politicians
full credit they worked their ding
dest' to provide cure for every
one of the national ailments. Most
of the remedies have failed to cure
but usually they have been soothing
to the spots where there was the

Gavin MeNabb Of San Francisco, may
be, but he said mouthful when he
declared that "a politician is the only

that has not been suggested by some
one of these politicians with ears
to the ground-it should be captur-
ed, bottled and labeled.

GOVERNMENT FACTS
Bank of Ensley to Distribute Inter- esting Information

The Bank of Ensley has issued the fol- lowing New Years announcements
 Not for years has there been such evil dent unrest as exists in the world today. Even the casual reader of the daily news paper sees that the world is sick and needs doctor. The way to social health is through an awakened interest in the affairs of our government and an in creased feeling of our responsibility in it's welfare and administration. Not un-
 til we understand the magnitude and efficiency of the United States govern ment de we feel the respect for it and the pride in participating in it that 1t deserves.
 Y At the present moment, in spite of all our unrest, the United States is the mcsS favored of the worlds nations. We have enjoyed century and half of the gov ernment of the people, for the people, by
 the people. It is not perfect, but 1t 5 the strongest, most substantial and most efficient government in the world today.
 "The Bank of Ensley is contemplating
 the free distribution among it's friends and patrons of series of highly illus
 trated articles on the government of the United States. The articles, although
 written in popular form, will be of real
 educational value. They are to be mailed
 directly to the homes of this community
 without charge. This plan is in keeping with the new idea that every progressive financial institution owes a broader serv. ice to it's community. The modern bank IS no longer 9 place where money is de- posted at one window and drawn at another. It is rather a center of con structve and helpful information to which anyone may bring his financial problems with some confidence of finding a solution for them.
 These stories are designed to show the benefits that each of us derives from the service of the govrnment. They have heen brought up to the minute and, how ever we'll informed the reader may be- he is sure to find something new in them. They have n particular appeal to new citizens foreigners and school children as we'll as furnishing interesting and in
 structive reading to practically everyone. | The community is sure to oenent lroii, ] this distribution and every home shoul1 ;have a complete set.
