Superfluous Federal .Employes

dyction in !th number of federal em

ployes siri5e tne sijjning1 of , the "armistice has been

C so absurdly Small "that V one Vwonders how the

thousands on "the federal pay roll in Washington ! are kept busy. : v i ' In July, 1917, the number of employes was 37,908. Today the number in the District of Columbia on the federal pay roll is 102,000. In the middle of 1918 the number stood at 111,457. The

reduction in the number is ridiculously small. , An independent firm of accountants, after a study of the system, reported that the government employes are divided into 1,700 classes, and that their is neither a maximum nor, minimum limit to their pay. It is alleged that political pull accounts for some of the big salaries paid to employes. - v. One-fourth of all the employes in the district could be dropped without crippling1 or even impairing the efficiency of the -eervice, according to Chairman Good of the appropriations committee of the house. A committee of the New York

Chamber of Commerce believes that, a third of the employes could be dropped. Voices have been raised all over the country against extravagance in public affairs. It has been asserted that routine matters in Washington are hot transacted with the dispatch characteristic of a private enterprise. Bitter complaints have been registered with

the war risk insurance bureau and with the vo

cational education bureau. Assurances by the

heads of these bureaus that correspondence will hereafter be answered promptly proves that the criticism was founded on fact. If Washington is swamped with clerks, the taxpayers are warranted in expecting a speedy transaction of public business. If incompetents and political appointees are treading on each other's toes and are merely affixing their names to the federal payroll because of political pull, it is high time that congress cleans house. . Thrift and economy, preached from high places, has been dinned into our ears with such persistence that we have almost become tired of the repitition. Our. legislative leaders cannot expect the country to take seriously their preach

ments if they do not practice it themselves in the administration of public affairs. Every million spent uselessly is a drain on the country, and the taxpayer who must pay the bills has the right to demand that the country receive a full return for the money that is spent. Secretary Meredith of the agricultural department announced shortly after he assumed his duties that he would begin at once to eliminate superfluous clerks and employes. A systematic course of elimination practiced by the heads of departments would soon cut down the 102,000 employes to a number commensurate with the i actual requirements.

"Do you act toward your wife as you did before you married her?" "Exactly. I remember Just how I used to act when I first fell in love with her. I used to lean over the fence in front of her house and gaze at her shadow on the curtains-afraid to go in. And I act Just the same way now when I get home late."

Today's Talk By Georgs Matthew Adams

,,- j PLEASE DON'T PASS THE BUCK! Some day there are gblrig to be enough enterprising folks to take in hand the job of raising a fine statue to "George." I refer to the fellow who goes ahead and does things when ire i.s (old but who mostly does things without being told. ' In other words, I would glorify the chap referred to in the phrase, "Let George do it!" You see, "George" has earned a reputation. He never passed the buck, as is the phrase. Ho sees that, a thing has to be done and so he does it and passes on. Most or the failure in business, as well as in character, are expert at buck-passing. ."

Miami U. to Start' Financial Campaign OXFORD. Ohio, March 27. It was officially announced today at Miami university that a campaign for a $1,000,000 extent-ion fund will be inaugurated in a few days.

PILGRIM'S PROGRESS IN SOCIETY

i-.uella and I discovered that it

would be difficult to make much prog

ress in $5,000 a year society without a good serviceable coat of arms I had often seen them on the nifty hotel paper and wondered how a hotel could

! have a coat of arms, and I had seen

them flying hither and yon on automobiles, but until we began getting into society I never gave them serious consideration. Some months ago we started looking up a coat of arms so that our stationery might be as good as that used by the rest of our set. We made plenty of headway, but not the sort of headway we desired. One is apt to meet with more or less disappointment when delving among ancestors. Ancestors don't give you much consideration. They embark in any sort of business which seems to have money in it, entirely regardless of the feelings of posterity. Three of Lnella's ancestors we located in jail and two in the second-hand business. . No material for coats of arms there. Mine were about as thoughtless as hers. Finally we evolved a brilliant idea. We decided to pick out an uncommon name a name not borne of anybody in our set or within twelve miles of our set, and to simply reach back into history and grab the coat of arms of this family. We chose the name of Poodledosh. In about a week we found back in history an accommodating old party by the name of Poodledosh, and he had a coat of arms, a very goodlooking one. We promptly adopted this old party as a long lost relative and sent his coat of arms to the engravers. Old Man Poodledosh was a falconer for King Richard the Lion-Hearted. and we are only hoping that nobody gets busy on the ouija board and queers our new coat of arms.

Kyne, conceived the plot of this enthralling story, he was at his best, for no story carries a finer idea, a more perfect plot and so great a lesson as does this story of the three godfathers, picturized in "Marked Men."
