THE TABLES ARE TURNED

While the Democrats were in power, Republicans dinned the country’s ears with criticism and denunciation. Every act and every omission was wrong. Nothing was right. The war was muddled; peace was delayed; reconstruction was impossible. The cure was a Republican Congress, with brilliant statesmen and economists like Senators Lodge and Penrose and Representatives Gillett and Mondell as its leaders,, Several months of Republican responsibility and control has not convinced the people that the change was for the better. Indeed, there is not a problem which has not remained unfulfilled in this third of a year of Republican accountability for legislation. At the worst, the Democratic Congress preceding the one now In session was charged with doing its work poorly. But it acted. The present Republican Congress has done next to nothing—and done It very badly. If the Democrats made mistakes it was because they made efforts. Against the Republicans Is fairly chargeable the greatest and costliest of all mistakes—failure to try. ■*- 1 ' In his statement to members of the Foreign Relatione committee at the White House conference.

We have endeavored to get and have endeavored to keep the service up to standard until in the last few months. We realize that we are not, can not and do not expect to, for no just person would expect to receive the same service when no more revenue is paid. With the increased costs we are compelled to operate with one lineman short, with a chief operator one-half of time —and will be taken off entirely, doing away with giving Information to our patrons. We felt we might be able to pull through the war conditions with Its increased cost of material and labor, but as they still Increase we find there is nothing to do but to let the service suffer.
