Mr. Postmaster General Hays had better step over to the executive offices and inquire of Mr. President Harding when he is going to wake up, and get on way back to that normalcy he has so frequently men- tioned. Meaning in this instance, more particularly, normalcy in tonducting the public business. To draw it still finer, normalcy in that department which comes in direct contact with all the people, every day of the week, the postoffice department. Here we are struggling along trying to do business with the same old crew Burleson operated with and that made a joke of the great business of transporting and deliv- ering the mails. Burleson, himself, was unblushingly incompetent. The department went to sticks under his management. That is patent to everybody. In- competency was the rule from Burleson down. Mr. Hays has the ability to reorganize the depart- ment and restore it to usefulness, but he cannot do this until he has cleaned house from garret to cellar. And that means exactly getting rid of the entire lot of Democratic postmasters. There never has been in the history of this country an administration that pro- fessed such loyalty to the civil service and at the same time so inexorably practiced the spoils system as the administration of Woodrow Wilson. In the eight yearsiof Wilson ‘end thé six years of Democratic congresses, there was ‘not @ single meas- ure adopted that created additional employment of any character but what there was provision exempt- ing it from civil service requirements. The crowniiig hypocrisy was in Wilson's order, after placing 63,000 deserving Democrats, but incompetent officials, in the postoffices of the country, attempt- ing to protect them undér the Civil service, creating a life tenure. These were purely political appointments. The incumbents took no civil service examinations. They hi ind have not now any civil service status. Wilson simply waved the magic wand. Trickery of the rankest kind. Everybody knows it. Done sim- ply to fasten the grip of the Democratic party on the postal service for as long as the people would stand for it. Hence the suggestion to Mr. Hays to shake Mr. Harding into a condition of wakefulness to undo the trickery perpetrated by Wilson and Burleson. The mandate of last November included the postal service as well as other departments of the govern- ment. The confession of Postmaster Patten of New York, that his <dministration is costing the business inter- ests of that community millions of dollars every day inthe service he is rendering, ought to be enough to wake somebody up. If the postoffice department is to continue to be a home for the feeble minded under si id civil service regulations instead of a department for the dispatch of the peoples’ mail, promptly and efficient- ly then let us throw up both hands and admit that the Republican party has no more force or character than the Democratic party, and that the people did not mean anything by their seven million plurality last November. el ig SHERIDAN GOES TO COURT. The proponents of the city manager plan of mu- Ricipal government in Sheridan have undertaken, by hhandamus proceedings, to show the city commission- trs and city attorney, that the petitioners have a right to be respectfully heard also to have an election called whereat the electors may express their choice of con- tinuing the present commission form or of adopting the city manager form. The city commissioners refused to call an election en the petition of the requisite number of qualified signers, under the law passed by the last legislature, assigning as reason for their refusal that Sheridan has no constitutional right to petition for # change in government in its present status as a commission governed city. The city attorney maintaining that only by abandoning the comm-ssion form of govern- ment, as provided by the law of 1915 can the city of Sheridan vote upon the city manager form now per- mitted under the statute as passed at the recent ses- sion. Therefore the city commissioners must have a change of heart or go into court on May 9 and show cause why they have not obeyed the court order to call the election petitioned for by the citizens. The supporters of the city manager plan feel cer- tain that the people have the right to have the form that has kept hope alive caused us to continve on un- airplane from Cuba passing over would be in this vicinity. No more may the violet and rose flavors be applied to maiden lips with the old time exhilarating results. All blacklisted. All taboo. Prohibition is determined to abolish the very last means of the festive kick. How, you ask, is the jinx to be put on the perfumed kiss? Very simple.

This is the view taken of the subject by the Manufacturers’ Record. “Well may we pray to be delivered from such conditions as humiliated England in the days before the war, when free. trade and open competition, despite such protection as was given by control of ocean rates, had ruined her agri- culture and driven her labor down to the point where skilled workmen hardly made enough to pay house Tent or to have meat to eat more than once a week. The heart blood and the sweat of America must never be auctioned in foreign marts, on the plea that so only can we get foreign trade. That kind of trade we do not want. There is no profit in it, only tears. We have seen what it means in the south, where the low wage scale in the cotton fields has meant the ex- ploitation of the negro, his merciless exploitation, be- cause ine white man just over him was also merci- lessly exploited. We can judge from the so-called profits which have come from cotton through half « century of what “profits” mean in cases where prices arte driven down to a hopelessly low level by competi- tion. It does not require genius to sell goods at pov- erty prices. It is genius to.produce under a fair wage scale and then sell at a profit! “We believe in foreign trade as a stabilizer and be- cause it is genérally desirable, but only under condi- tions that will not be disastrous to American stand- ards. If we can get foreign trade only by reducing our labor to the status of labor abroad, then it is far better to have no foreign trade. We doubt if the dilemma exists, except in special forms. “The internationalists maintain that our prosperity depends on dealings with thosé abroad. The area for operation of economic laws in the United States is sufficiently large for all purposes. Were there forty- eight separate and distinct soveteignties where now there is the one, the great part of what we now call domestic trade would be foreign trade, and few would cate to say that it was not a foreign trade of suffi- cient proportions, geographically and otherwise. But if what the internationalists aver is true, there will be no real prosperity for the people of this earth until they are able to exchange goods with the inhabitants of Mars or other planet. The climatic condi- tions are si ithin the United States’ that there ample opportunity for exchange of services and goods within the nation itself. It is incontrovertible, for in-' th. sea, prosperity within the Western hemisphere would still be possible. “Importation of goods or matetials which can éco- nomically be produced within our own borders is an economic ¢rime. It means unnecessary carriage and it-means, also a fallure on our-part to exploit our own opportunities. We ought to buy only the things which we cannot ourselves produce, whether other na- tions owe us money or not. That is the doctrine which is preached to the individual farmer—raise all the things you eat or your animals eat. It is good doc- ttine. Yet, when the confines are extended, so-called statesmen assert that production for our own wants is not desirable if, perchance, we can buy somewhere else and thus avoid production on our own account. “There is about to be witnessed in this country a concrete proof of what a tariff will do in the way of promoting prosperity. The change in policy is to be made at a period of extreme depression When many doubt if there is any method by which rehabilitation of industry can be brought about. It is a severe test, but we have no doubt whatever as to the outcome. The mere assurance that the Anierican market is to be- long to Americans, in its broad aspects, will begin to influence business even before the permanent tariff act is passed. Thereafter the hum of factory wheels will again be heard in the land, and the farmer will sing at his plow. Men will see with their own eyes how much truth there is in the assertion that Amer- ica cannot be prosperous unless cheap German goods deluge our market and unless we séll our faw prod- ucts to the Germans at ruinously low prices.” ETL SNe At the vresent rate of reduction in the cost of liv- ing, hoy. many centuries will have elapsed before we are on Easy street again? Eran ee ee BONDS FOR GOOD ROADS. The amount is $1,800,000. The rate of interest shall not exceed 5 per cent. The date of the good roads bond election is May 10, 1921. The Federal government appropriates an amount approximately equal to that raised by the state. When roads are built under the highway law and are taken over by the state, the state must maintain them. Success of bond issue election on May 10th means a network of roads connecting the principal cities, villages and intervening communities. Work shall be done by contract with the lowest re- sponsible bidder, under the direction of the State Highway Commission representing the five highway districts. Sixty to 70 per cent of the proceeds will be paid for labor and team hire, while every farmer and ranchman who has teams will have an opportunity to do work on these roads at good wages, ESA FET Ce PRES Cte SL Now that Japan has adopted baseball, why not have of government they want and to have an election for the purpose of determining the matter. In this view they are largely seconded by the legal opinion of the city. The situation developed is the one topic of local discussion. Fee, en Postmaster General Hays says he proposes to seé that daily newspapers are délivered in the shortest possible time. Since this has not occurred in this country for four or five years—three cheers for Mr. Hays. a THE LAST JOY GONE. This prohibition thing, besides removing most, if not all the joy from life, is becoming a greater nui- sance every day. Not content with banishing all of the regular beverages from the earth, leaving no de- pendable remedy to keep a fellow’s skin from crack- ing, now the dry chiefs have issued an ukase against the perfumed kiss) This was the one remaining joy a Yap series and settle the whole blooming con- troversy? pee ee SHALL THESE GO FREE?
