Cleaning Out the IncOmpeterts.

SlednInS Out the
Mr.. Harding's determination to do
away with bad service in government
has been bearing fruit since the an
nouncement of that purpose was
made. The "shake up" in the Blu
eau of Printing and Engraving last
week was but a phase of the undertake
some of the others, because the
Presidents hand directed the custer.
Other bureaus and departments had
earlier cleaning up of their own
through eagerness of their heads to
act before the reins of authority could
be taken from them. They showed
themselves capeble of practicing econ
omy and efficiency when they saw
it was necessary.
That has been the lack in govern
ment circles in Washington in the
past-clear understanding or the re-
quirement to do good work at as small
cost to the republic as would be paid
for the same service in private bust
ness.
Drawing pay for little or no work
was long the practice of federal Of
ficialdom. It reached it's climax Of
large compensation and slight labor
under the Wilson rule. Mr.. Harding
came into office facing an army Of
loafers in departmental places whose
bad service would injure his admin
stration, yet whom he could not di-
rect nor even know personally.
There was but one thing to do. That
that was to make the useless en-
ployes' superors suffer for what was
being done under their noses, if not
with their knowledge and consent.
The Bureau of Printing and Engrav-
ing has a new head now-and it is
safe to say that he willnot permit
such abuses in the future as have ex-
listed in that department heretofore.
Rumors that other bureaus are to eX-
perience similar making over of per,
sonnet as the result of Investigations
disclosing the incapable manner in
which their affairs have been directed
can be fully credited. 1t is assuredly
the determination of Mr.. Harding to
drive incompetency from office, where
it has so long fattened upon the pub
lies money.

the game? I've seen some of the
bright lights and I've had my hooks on
considerable coin in my day; but the
money is gone and life is behind. I
have paid for it all with ten years,
and more to do of this, which leaves
no brighter prospect for the future
than a few doddering years, then a
pine box and a hole either in the
p%otter's field or the state boneyard."
There r girls who have learned
to laugh at admonitions and to say,
scornfully, 81 can take care of myself"
There are boys who have learned to
sheer at the simple tenets of honesty
and morality taught at mothers knee.
There are young people who have
closed their memories to the verse
they learned at Sunday school: the
one that warns, "Be sure your sin will
find you out"
These have gone on a course of
frivolity. They have sought to col
lect fortune in advance. But sooner
or later they moralize as did Old Joe.
Behind the bars, with a life spent, he
could say that frivolity without re-
straint is foolish. That fortune taken
by force OF stealth carries a mortgage
upon the future sure to be foreclosed.
Sooner or later, they could say, as he
would say, that pleasure with a sting
contains more pain than sacrifice and
service.
Mothers and churches are beacon
lights that chart the course of safe
ty. Wrecks of life always follow short
cuts across the shoals.

on slight pretext to reverse it's policy
of unfolding Americas traditional
avoidance of European entanglements.
They grasp at any straw that seems
to offer the least encouragement to
hope that they may be able to cause
the United States to make 1.-THE "su-
preme sacrifice" advocated by Mr..
Wilson. Mr.. Harding was elected on
the issue of keeping out of Europe.
He has reiterated his stand on that
subject, and there is no chance what
ever that he will change his mind. The
internationalists might as we'll recon-
cile themselves to the inevitable and
turn their attention to the restoration
of America to normal.

IN EUROPE

Now it is announced that the Genoa
conference will adjourn and all Europe
take a vacation until the United States
"comes in with its aid" Well, the
United States is not going to take a
vacation, neither is it Coming in with
aid" until Europe shows more indica-
tons of doing something to help it.
self besides quarrel. The people of
the United States are at work-most
of them. They are starting up more
factories, retaining more arid land
capable of use in agriculture, develop
ing new water powers, and restoring
the neglected railways. The working
people of America are in no mood to
support the vacationists of Europe.

WE HAVE KEPT THE FAITH

The New York World, published in
America and supported by good Amer
lean coin, prints a cartoon which rep
resents Uncle Sam as "still sulking
in his tent" Sulking, Ell? The only
sulking we did was during the period
when the World was helping Wood
row Wilson gain reelection on the
plea that he "kept us out Of the war"
The election over, we soon entered the
conflict, sent 1000, 900 men overseas
and trained 1900, 900 more ready to
go. We raised $4,000, 900, 900 by bond
issues and taxation, ate corn meal in
order to send wheat flour to Europeans
who refused to eat corn meal, stinted
ourselves on sugar, wore u old
clothes, loaned ten billion dollars to
the Allies, sacrificed our boys on ev-
cry battle line on the Western front,
and paid European countries for ev-
cry bit of damage we did to any class
of property, ever in some cases pay
ing for damage that was purely i'm
aginary. Since the war we have con-
tinued paying interest on the debt
Europe owes US, we have sent ship
loads of food and clothing to Russia,
We have extended some six to eight
billion dollars of additional credit to
other nations. and have given every
creditor all the time he asked. We
have done everything Europe asked us
to do except make the supreme sacri-
flee of American independence and
American traditions.

Wid0ws-HOw They Live.

Only eighteen out of every one
hundred widows, say the insurance
companies, live on incomes. Forty
seven work and thirty-five are Deepen

This means that not enough men

that not enough women know how tc

THERE WILL BE NO REVERSAL

With ar air of telling something
new and important, the International
lists proclaim that the United States
"has not closed the door on Russia"
Of course not. But it has closed and
locked the door on recognition of a
government that practices reputation
and confiscation. 1t has also closed
and locked the door on interference
with the political affairs of Europe.
The internationalists, by their asser-
ton that the door has not been closed,
seek to create the impression that the
Harding administration stands ready

WILL WE DRIFT BACK?

In reviewing the testimony for and
against the bills now before congress
to aid American shipping, it is inter-
esting to note that radical labor lea
ders such as Andrew Furuseth, presi-
dent of the International Seamen's
Union and such organizations as the
N%onpartisan league are the ones which
offer the most strenuous objections to
the measure.
On Mr.. Furuseth's shoulders may be
placed hte principal responsibility for
our present shipping laws which make
necessary measures to protect and en-
courage an American merchant mar
inc.
The Nonpartisan League represents
the radical socialistic element which
would in one breath demand subsidies
for its own organization and program
and in the next breath fight any mea-
sure which was aimed to help some
line Of activity in which it was not
~~ested.
from the radical elements in
t.~a7l country and the foreign ele-
ment which largely dominates the In
t~ernational Seamen's Union, sentiment
appears to be growing in favor Of
measures to extend American ship
ping.
On record favorable to the passage
of proposed legislation are endorse
ments of. commercial organizations
from virtually every state. Farm or
CARNATIONS, merchants associations,
banks, Touring mills, boards of trade,
and last but not least, unions of mar
inc workers numbering more than 25,-
900 men. Hundreds of pages of tes-
timony have been taken by congress
sional committees on the ship subsidy
question.
After this is all in, however, the
fact will still remain that previous to
the World War, American ships had
practically disappeared from the sea.
We are rapidly drifting back to that
position. We cannot meet foreign
competition while maintaining Amer
ical wage scales and American stan
dards of living on American ships
without some protection from our
government. Our present laws act as
a subsidy to the foreign ship owner.
Will we refuse to pass legislation
which puts the American ship owner
on a basis of equality with his foreign
competitor?

From Our
Exchanges
Cheap German Goods

~ - 0~OSV
The astoundingly cheap goods the
Germans are making and offering for
sale and selling all over the world will
surprise Montanans when they read
the statements of Nh. l.. O. Evans,
chief counsel for the Anaconda Cop
per Company, in the state, made at
Anaconda recently in a speech deliv-
cred before the Anaconda Rotary Club,
and will impress everybody with the
need for protective tariff walls or en-
bargoes upon such goods. 1t is diff
cult to see how anything but. an en-
barge can exclude them from this
country. The Anaconda Standard, in
reporting the Rotary meeting and Mr..
Evans talk, said:
"Mr. Evans produced a safety razor
frame and a pocket tool case, both
made in Germany, and which he had
purchased in New York. The razor
closely resembled the American model
that formerly sold for SIS and once as
low as $3.50. 1t was in three pieces,
nickel plated and inclosed in a nickel
plated, plush-lined case. The work
manship was excellent. Mr.. Evans
said that this article had been sold by
the German manufacturer to the Am
erican importer for 8 cents. Mr.. Evans
had purchased the case and six Am
erican razor blades which fitted the
German frame in New York for SO
cents.
"Also he exhibited to the Rotarians
a hollow brass cylinder, finely fin
ished, containing a variety of small
tools, of excellent grade of steel, GIN
let, screwdriver, etc. This outfit is
being sold to the wholesale trade in
this country for 30 cents.
"'These are only samples of German
articles that are being sent to this
country in great quantities. Mr.. Ev-
ans said. Prices on the other goods
compare with those l have quoted to
you. All kinds of manufactured arti-
cles are coming in, tools, toys, and
musical Instruments. They show what
the Germans are DOING"
"The speaker told of rooms in the
capitol at Washington where the tar
iff committees were given their hear
ings filled with articles such as he
had exhibited to the Rotarians. 1T is
the almost incredibly low German
values as compared with ours which
have given rise to the demands for
American valuation of the articles in
this country instead of their value
abroad, or selling price, Mr.. Evans
said"
Mr.. Evans explained that ~cheapness
of these German goods is due to low
labor costs in Germany, and the huge
value of American money over Ger
man money. Mr.. Evans touched upon
the American valuation plan, but even
with that, it is impossible to under
stand how American manufacturers
can compete with goods so very cheap.
If the German razor. sold for 8
cents, is valued for tariff taxation un-
der the American valuation plan at
So, and the tariff is % per cent, that
will be 81 added to the 8 cents. or

for the German razor, the selling price
OF the American article in competition

American razor can compete. How
to protect the domestic article with

seems a puzzle.-Helena Record Her

rainy day." They cannot grasp, ap-
%parently, the good of going without
today's luxury in favor of having
comfort in the years ahead.
The development of business edu-
cation and experience among women
is doing much to lessen the number
of dependent widows. Education in
the direction of buying securities with
the insurance money, under the guild
ance of the reliable local banker, law
yer or business man, rather than in
vesting in securities under the influ-
ence of the blue-sky salesman, is also
helping. No woman really wants to
be a dependent WIDOW. No husband
really wants to have his wife become
There are ways Of avoiding this
calamity. One way is to face finan-
cial matters together, in a practical,
and cooperative manner.-Missoula
