To become one of the consulting engineers to the ) United States would be the sort of position that would suit pat deal better.” Phat is Herbert Hoover's answer to a query as to whether or not he would like to become president. ‘ Thinking it over, doesn't it strike you that what the > United States needs today, above all else, is an expert engi- meer? é Here we are, in the days of flying machines, automobiles and wireless communication, of a highly-geared, complex industrial and economic life, riding along ina governmental arouche built up largely from staves of many pork bar- “Fels, bound together by partisan wires and pr opelled only by | great effort and at tremendous expense by the joint labors of a democratic donkey and a republican elephant which ) yefuse to pull harmoniously in double harness. Certainly it is an inefficient and cumbersome vehicle, A Washington dispatch published in these columns only re- cently told how 156 separate and distinct governmental ; jes are now maintained to serve only nine adminis- trative functions—all of them in an engineering line, Twen- en rival organizations are maintained for the work ‘of Uncle Sam's building construction alone—every depart- ment and almost eVery bureau maintaining a separate staff for its own building needs. The co-ordinating and consolidating of these expensive overlapping agencies, the redesigning of our w hole govern- mental conveyance to make it an efficient, economical, high- _» speed machine in keeping with human progress, is distinetly + anengineering job.

It is too often true that the general public is unrepre- sented when matters of grave importance come up before its law-making bod Special interests have their special rs. The public has no special pleaders, except in the instance where an official makes that particular sub- his special cause. Even then he is handicapped. He limited in his abilty to call witnesses, to pay for ex- penses, to employ special counsel. In the Sepaiees situation, we find that non-Christian Japs are able to employ good Christian clergymen to do their special pleading before congress. yare And congress thus hears that the church element on | the Pacific coast wants Japanese accorded full Amer citizenship. Is that really the attitude of the church ele- "ment on the coast? Is it the attitude of the general ° os ‘ s 'F A committee of senators and representatives from the Various coast states could offset this sort of propaganda easily. And if we are to have peace on the coast, it must be offset. Judge K. M. Landis wants the 10,000,000 socialists in this country indicted for treason. Gee! but wouldn't it brighten up the business outlook for lawyers? | _ Which Was Right? The shoe retailers of three Southern states met in con-| vention recently. After two days of shop talk they were ie _ thrown into sharp conflict with a state fair price commis- _ sioner working under the arm of the Lever act. Immediately preceding the commissioner’s address an : ‘earnest dry goods dealer had exhibited some of the luxuries | of the age—kid gloves, silk blouses, a hand-made woman's _ boot—and had expatiated at some length on their beauty | their workmanship. When the fair price man arose he referred to his predeces- ' sor’s talk with something akin to a sneer. __ “The fair price commission doesn’t concern itself with the evolution of the superbeautiful,” he declared. “What it ‘wants is to secure the necessities of life at a fair price for the wage-earner. It would be better for this commonwealth | if it were walled off from the East and its ‘exquisite cre- ations.’” , The dry goods man made no reply from the platform, but he was hurt. To a friend he was heard to say, “The com- missioner is honest in his remarks, but his theory is wrong. “If it were not for ambition, the desire to do better, the love of creation, your beautiful city here with its tall build- ings would be what?—a hog-wallow. workmanship because it gives them pride of possession and stimulates their own effort. Sloppiness is the harbinger of Ri & y. “What made Greece glorious—for what is Athens famed? Progressiveness, originality, the creation of beauty!

These minute germs eat ter the body thru nose, throat and lungs, and the first symptoms develop in from two to four days. It is important to practice personal cleanliness — a clean skin, mouth and nose, clean bowels. Avoid the person who coughs and sneezes. Sleep well, eat well, play well.

Obtain of your druggist }a kidney and backache remedy, known as “Anuric” (anti- ‘uric-acid) tablets. These help flush the bladder, kidneys, jand the intestines, and act as an antiseptic, and if taken jeither before or during the attack lessen the pain and the |danger to the kidneys. \When the attack is over and it leaves you in a weakened, pale, anemic condition, it would be well to obtain an herbal tonic. A good one is Doctor Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, made from wild roots and barks of forest trees, and without alcohol. , For those past middle life, for those easily recognized, symptoms of inflammation, as backache, scalding “water,” or if uric acid in the blood has caused rheumatism, “rusty joints, stiffness, get Anuric (anti-uric-acid) at the drug store, or send Dr. Pierce, Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Inst.- tute, Buffalo, N.
