How can anybody be so ruthless, whether layman or statesman, as to enter a protest censuring the extrava- ance and waste which Uncle Sam is 4 vielim of, and which is going tw put the United States budget into a heavy deficit? Yes, how can anybody have @ heart that is void of compunc- tion by protesting, for would it not ve crueland inhuman, for two strong, husky men to crate a typewriter in fess than a ‘3 time’ Two men took @ full day's time to crate a type- writer. The majority of those em- ployed had so litle to do that if they Were given some work to keep then occupied it would have been a relier to them. An employee who did not have it in his blood to loaf, and did his work ac 4 conscientious pace, was “bawied out" by the foreman fur “speeding,” ag the foreman thought that this would set a “bad” example to the song of rest. ‘The foreman practically did not want any Work; @ll that the foreman want- ed Was that the employees be “on the Job.” There is a janitor for each bunk house, whose duty it is to make the beds and sweep the floor; this work required at the most two hours, and the rest of the day to loaf. A bunch of chauffeurs are on the payroll who bring the automobiles from ‘the plant to the street car line (a distance of several blocks) in the morning from where the girls and male office em- ployees and foremen, &c., are driven in grand style in automgbiles to the plant. After the day's work the same | grand procession took place homeward bound, Like the janitor, each chauf- four’s work required about two hours er day. The reat of the time the chauffeurs loafed and played “pitch | the horseshoe,” or whatever you call that game took place a long time after the war, a fow months ago.

Your particular job will not be important unless you make it important. To make it important you have got to believe in it. The useful man in any organization is the man who be- lieves that his department and his particular place is the most important in the whole establishment. If he is willing to fight for it, to insist that it be given its full share of consideration, it is never likely to fall below par in efficiency. The shipping clerk who thinks that the business of getting goods away on time ought to take precedence over everything else is sure to be a rattling good shipping clerk. When the salesman insists that selling is the one thing that keeps the business going and the buyer contends sav- agely that buying is what makes prosperity and the advertis- ing man announces firmly that none of these departments would be worth anything except for advertising it is certain that the business will succeed, Your job may be small, but you can make it big by be- lieving in it. No one will criticise you for boosting your own position and doing all you can to make it count in the business, One of the greatest things about our army was that every unit believed that it was the best outfit in the whole army and tried to prove it. Those efforts to prove individual superiority gave the Germans a lot of trouble and worry. Believe in your organization; believe in the department where you’ are employed; believe in the job that you are filling. Do your work as well as you can for the glory of the job, the department and the organization. The job, the department and the organization will all benefit by the spirit that you show, but you in the long run will benefit more than any of them. eee “personal liberty” cartoon under the captain of “Kept in Shadow” in to- day's Evening World is an example of either crass ignorance or a deliberate attempt to stir up discontent. One would assume that you should know the fact, but as you expose your fee. rance I will tell you that no civilized Government has ever guaranteed “per- sonal liberty,” but only “civil liberty” within the law. Russia is a glowing example of, the demonstration of “per- sonal liberty,” and see where it has ‘brought that great nation, Laying approval or not. It came about be- cause the great mass of the peoplé wanted it, and could not haye been accomplished otherwise, you to the con- trary notwithstanding. Personally I am against Prohibition, but I accept the issue because it is the law. That maudlin stuf with which you fill your “letters from the people” department about the “poor working- man and his glass of beer” gets to be irritating. Alcoholic beverages of any content are not necessary, and all the New Jersey and Rhode Island Legis- tated by your attitude of the Pzobibi- tion question. You continually preach ‘Americanism and law and order, and aside the right or wrong of the ques- tion, Prohibition 1s now a@ part of the United States Constitution and as such ould—and willbe and latures,in the world cannot make op- erative a law at variance with tment.
