A CLEANUP Is NEEDED


Washington, Apr To- That Pre-
sident Harding should be commended
for making changes in supervisory
positions in the government service
with view to attaining efficiency
and that measure of economy which is
necessary in order to reduce taxes, is
the assertion Of the Republican Pub
Lefty Association, in statement is
sued through the president of that or
ganization, Hon. Jonathan Bourne,
Jr. The statement says:
''The Republican Administration at
Washinton, with President Harding
at its head, is keenly alive to the bane-
full influence of the many Democrats
who were appointed during the Will
sen regime and fho have been toler-
ated in their positions up to the pre-
sent time. Many officials in places
of Importance are known to be on the
most intimate terms with Mr.. Tum-
ulty, who maintains an office at the
National Capital. They were part Of
the most extravagent and inefficient
administration in American history.
"Mr. Harding has taken plenty of
time to satisfy himself of the true con-
ditions, and has accumulated sufficient
evidence to warrant drastic action.
The wholesale cleanup Of the Bureau
Of Engraving and Printing is part of
the effort to reorganize the Federal
service along lines of Republican SYM
rathy and cooperation.
There can be no just criticism Of
President Harding for what he is do
ing; rather should he be congratulate
ed for his latest move toward Federal
efficiency. Practically every office

cox WRONG ON ALL COUNTS

Washington April II. ''The sub
stance of the keynote speech of
James M. Cox at the recent jefferson
Day banquet was that the United
States is suffering industrial depres-
sion, and international exchange is
disrupted, because of the refusal OF
the United States to go into the Lea
que of Nations, but recent industrial
and financial history refutes his con-
tentions," declares the Republican
Publicity Association, through its
President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr.
American industry has been on the
upgrade nearly ever since the inau-
guration of a Republican administrat-
ion demonstrated the impossibility of
the United States subordinating its
sovereignty and its interest to SUI
perstate. international exchange
has been.rapidly getting back to nor
NAL getting back so rapidly as to
surprise even the most sanguine.
"The one great burden to American
industry has been taxation. The in
ternationalsts who propose to force
the United States into league of
nations are also debt cancellationists
who would have the United States,
either voluntarily or through the in
fluence of the league of nations, write
&c l. h1i1inf1
dollars due this country from Euro
pean. nations. If that debt were can
ecled it would mean an eleven billion
dollar additional debt placed upon the
people of he United States Tor tie
liquidation of which they would be
compelled to pay increased taxes Tor
probably century to come. Scarce
ly anything could be done that would
have more depressing influence on
American industry than the cancel
alton of debts with the assurance, as
consequence, that American indus
try would have heavier Federal taxes
to pay.
'Mr. Cox ignores the record, and
assumes that the American public
will ignore the record, when he at
tributes deprecated foreign exchange
to our refusal to enter the League Of
Nations. The fact is, that in Nov

BAPTIST SERVE MANY

Probably the most extensive
work carried on among the sailors
and seamen by any denominations
al agency south of New York is
that done at Jacksonville, Fla,
under the auspices of the Home
Mission Board of the Southern
Baptiss Convention. According to
report for che past three months,
just complied by Capt. Karl Frost,
superintendent of the Sesman's
Institute, lotal of 1850 men have
visited the institute, over 1000
letters have been written from
there to friends and loved ones,
281O free lodgings have been given
seamen out of work,38 free meals
have been served, clothing has
been furnished 81 men and jobs
ave been found for 249. In addi-
ton to this service $40 sick and
distressed seamen have been
nelped, % have been given first
aid and hospital service, eight
nave been helped out of serious
difficult, 1175 have been visited by
the representatives of the Insti-
cute, 1886 resolved to live the Chris
tan life hereafter, SIS united with
the church and 1856 enrolled at the
Institute Bible class. A total OF
276 Bibles and Testaments were
given away among men.
Eyes, they are meeting, but &C
complishing? Such has been the
question on che lips of many
thoughtful citizen anent the con.
terence on limitation or arma-
ments at Washington.
The wisest heads can never tell
in advance what the result of a
law, and agreement, a, treaty, may
be. The Versailles treaty was to dc
one thing; it did another. The Vol
stead law was to decrease crime
it created brand-new crime and
lot of it. The Irish-British is a
cat no one knows which way will
jump, and the accomplishments OF
the Washington conference may
work and may not.

THE AGRICULTURAL CONFER
ENCE.

The particular meaning and mo-
tive of the Agricultural Confer
ence," which has created such
commotion in American politics
may be above the heads OF some
agriculturists. But according to
an editorial in the New York Her
aid, the American farmer knows
what is the matter with his busi-
ness as buyer and as seller IN
the markets, is that while agri-
culture has suffered general and
drastic deflation, little or nothing
else has. When he goes to market
TO oispoS. of his crop, he must part
with it Tor . Song. Sut when ne
goes > bay he must pay fabulous
prices compared with what he
gets. The He. Id article is quoted:
Howard Lenoard,, president OF
the Illinois Agricultural Associa-
ton, showed in the agricultural
conference that the farmer knows
WHY hec2nnot buy as he used to
buy with the proceeds of the sale
of his products when ne quoted
figures to prove that IAN Illinois
farmer worked 16 hours day for
four days to pay for the labor OF
one laborer in Chicago for one
hour. and a railroad engineers
monthly wages equaled the net
return Of 40 acres of Illinois
farm land"
]. R. Howard, president of the
American Farm Federation, show
ed in the conference that the far
mer knows why wehn he said the
average rail road worker receives
$1,000 a year compared with $500
20 $500 that comes to the farmer.
Yet the farmer must buy the same
clothing and the same fuel as the
fab0rer."
And the conference showed that
the FARMER knows why when de-
bated at high pressure the report
calling on the railroad workers
and coal miners to take reductions
in wages so that freight rates
might be brought to normal ba-
sis. 1t showed that the farmer
knows why when it all but unan-
Imously adopted the following re-
solution, with only Sam Gompers
voting against it:
"We insist that the railroad
corporatic;.t5 and railroad labor
should share in the deflation of
charges now affecting all indus
tries. This is essential to the res
toration of normal conditions In
agriculture and 1t is essential to
the welfare of the entire commun-
ity."
Since the Agricultural Confer
ence has adopted the resolution
arranging railroad corporations

and labor for not sharing in de-
flation proportionately with ag-
ricultural labor, Samuel Gompers

liam G. MeAdoo has added his tes-
timony to that of Sam Gompers.
