TO INCREASE APPROPRIATION
 FOR POSTOFFICE BUILDING

The Chamber of Commerce of this city has been making efforts during the past two years to induce the United States Treasury Department to begin the erection of the Postoffice building, for which appropriation was made several years ago. The Supervising has continued to refuse to take steps toward beginning the building. on ac- count of the fact that he claimed that building materials had not reached the level low enough to permit the build ing being erected for the amount of the appropriation.
 In view of this fact. Senator Joe T. Robinson introduced bill in the United States Senate on March Is, 1922. to increase the appropriation for the erection of this building from $50 900 to 65,000. Senator Robinson has just forwarded copy of this Bill to R l.. Blakely. president of the Cham her of Commerce. and has written that he will use his best endeavors to se- cure the passage of the bill at the present term.
 This appropriation would cover the cost of suitable building and it is thought that in all probality the build ing can be begun during this year.

BIG PROBLEMS FOR BIG MEN

Having stated that our country lacked such men IS Washington, Jeffer- son and Lincoln. and while Harding is good man and has probably done a> well as most any other of our public men would have done. still he lacks the qualifications of those three really great men of our history. and when he passes a#vay will merely be elassed the same IS Hays. Arthur. Taft, Harri- son. Cleveland and others. reader asks why We don't point out what Harding might have done that he has not.
 Well, We lay no claim to having any such gigantic intellect as the great men mentioned. but il does not take such q brain tO see that opportunities te achieve greatness have been and are today before our present chief execu- tive II occurs to us that at least the interest on the eleven billions loaned 10 European nations by the Wilson ad- m;niStration could have been collected, amounting to i billion, either in real money or its equivalent in bonds which could he discounted by our big banks and wealthy people, and the soldier bonus of S4oO 100000 paid ont of that, any many millions left over toward re 1 lieving other distress.

senses.

Where is the truly great man of America today? Most people will an swer there are none and alas, such answer seems too true England has a truly great man in Lloyd George, but the like of him is not on this side of the water He has met great and grave crises one after another as thet arose and shook that nation as gale, and solved them all yictoriously. Not so here. When our country is confronted by a crisis so-called statesmen simply wrangle and chew the rag about 1t un- til the crisis passes of it's own accord, owing to the fact that our country is so big. so rich and possessed of such wonderful natural advantages that no crisis can live long against it.
 The opportunity to do really great things given our present chief execu- tive were as great as Washington. lief ferson or Lincoln had, but nothing such as these three men would have done has been done Ask the American peo pie today who the great presidents of the United States have been. and they will answer, Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln
