WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. T.
Election is all over until next
Presidential election when the peo-
pie will be able to look back upon
-four years of splendid accomplish
ments on the part of the present
administration. Whatever peculiar
twists the late congressional cleo
ton may have taken, there is no
reflection upon our president and
his advisers. Local conditions and
issues naturally affect the election
of senator's and congressman, and
to say that because certain Re-
1ublicans were defeated and Demo
Gratis elected in their places for
governor, senator, or representative,
is slam at the president, is
absurd. The next two years vii
tell the story. We have plunged
ahead in this country to a marvel
Gus degree in the past two years
considering the terrible condition in
ghich the present administration
found the country. These two years
ave been spent in Strengthening out
he tangles and troubles caused by
light years of Democratic waste and
Encouragement. Although much
constructive new legislation has
oeen passed, there would have been
more but for the loose ends which
necessarily had to be fixed first. A
man cannot go into house and fix
it up with fine furniture and make
rev and modern improvements on
It Immediately if the people who
ust moved out have torn it to
pieces. He must first repair the
damage before the improvements
can be made. 1t has been the same
gay with out federal government,
avs history student, who con-
linues:
president Harding felt it nee
essary to call congress together
before the regular date of December
5, in order that several important
matters might be taken up and set
Cled. For many months he has
been keen to complete the legisla
ton necessary to make our merch-
ant marine as fine as any in the
world. President Harding has
worked out a splendid plan which
will establish and keep up a merch-
ant marine big enough and fine
enough to meet the needs of our
commerce.
"But carrying commerce is not the
only purpose for which we need a
merchant marine. While that is
the first essential in times of peace,
still that merchant marine will
mean something even bigger to the
United states. The world club has
proven itself impractical. Inasmuch
as individuals have not ceased to
quarrel we cannot expect nations to
cease on the instant. Matters in
the Near East between Turkey and
the Allied governments look seri-
Gus. We need not worry now for
we have followed the proved policy
of the past, hands off, but we never
know what peculiar event may
sweep US again into the turmoil of
war. don't want to see US vast
ing lives and money again pre-
pairing for war when that waste
was unnecessary. An adequate
merchant marine means plenty Of
ships ready to be transferred to the
military and navel establishments
of the government in times of war.
That is one of the serious prob
lens which President Harding has
studied hard and long and presents
to congress at this session for legis-
lative action. 1t should not be a
question of Republican, Democratic
or any other party. 1t is something
in which all America is vitality in
terested from the coast to the in
terror.
Another important matter to be
presented to congress by the presi-
dent is a recommendation to re-
organize the executive departments
as outlined in a plan worked out
by committee appointed by Mr..
Harding and headed by Walter F.
Brown as chairman. There is much
duplication of work and effort and
this plan will consolidate some
bureaus-eliminate some and in
some cases probably establish new
ones. In other words the admins
tration is continuing its effort to
run the government as a business
organization and surely the level
headed business men of the country
can look with satisfaction. to such
effort and accomplishment"
