Pif- teen thousand women were in line. Each felt a fine stir of devotion and a sense of efliciency-——but also a demi- nine desire to have her feet look pret- ty. So many women put on high heeled slippers that clicked daintily for the first blocks and limped the rest of the way. A drafted man who stood on the sidewalk the admiring throng didn't do much admiring. He] discovered 8) per cent of the mar | ing women were wearing high heels.

' In other words, many weeks before ations at Sarajevo, Aus- tria was making ready for war, being inspired with a desire to dominate the Balkans, to crush the Serbs and to prevent the danger of a Jugo-Slav kingdom. But stil] more explicit is a statement made to Morgenthau by Baron Wan- gettheim, the German minister to Tur- key. This kaiserist told him of a con- ference held in Berlin carly in July, 1914, ingwhich the time for the be ginning of war was specifically decid- ed upon.

Robinson Give "IM THE KO, Letter and to society, and he may train our socialist friends ‘so as to give them better concepts of civic reform, But Townley knows the fate of reformers. He knows how Bruno was burned at the stake for publishing some truths of astronomy. He knows that in try- ing to advance a reform there is dan- ger in going too fast and hence, he seems disposed to make haste slowly. But when the roses, come again, then we shall publish a book of “Let- ters, E. s and Decisions.” Then you may read of civic reform and of Ways to prosperity and happiness. There are ways by which the state may live and prosper without the levy- ing of annual‘taxes. There are ways of making pw5lic institutions self-sup- porting and of making public servants even more efficient than private serv- ants. Until that is done, until public . service is 100 per cent efficient, there can never Le any true and lasting civic reform. It avails nothing to say that a judge or other office holder is an old-liner or a Nonpartisan. It does avail to say that he ig 100, per cent. efficient and that he gives all’ his time to the duties gf his*office. But as the contrary custom has so long prevailed, it is*vain: tolook for civic reform without some stringent and persistent measures to advance the standard of efficiency in public serv- ice. Hence, it is for Townley and his newspapers to take a leading part in advancing the standard... How many | of our elected state officers can fairly claim to be 100 per cent efficient? How many try to devote all their time to the duties of their office? I know of two—Thomas. Hall, secretary of state, and Kositzky, state auditor. The members of -the board of con- trol are paid a good salary, $3,000 a year, and the law specially provides that they must give all their time to the duties’of their office. Do they alt do it? Do they run the trolley car to the capitol with the efficiency of car service by the corporations? Do they have the car well heated and on time? And why do the employes of the state have to pay carfare go- ing to-their work in a state convey- ance?, Whoever heard of a railroad company or street car company charg- ing employes for going to or return- ing from their work? The reason of it all is that in state matters there is no supervision. There is no head. Every state officer is free to go and come as he pleases. No ‘one calls him to time. He is free to work or play. Nobody cares. The governor has a deputy or secretary and I think it his duty to, keep time on state offi- cers and to give the press a weekly report. The state board of regents has con- trol of the institutions of learning. The ‘hoard of control has control of-all the other state institutions and of the capitol and the governor's mansion and the car line to the capitol. And the governor, he has control of them all and a right to remove them from office. He is the boss of the state. He is responsible for every wrong. The truth is that our governors have been too much disposed to make ‘good fellows of themselves by letting things run in a slip-shod way and it is high time for Governor Frazier to get -a big stick and to give us a new deal and a square deal.
