The liclicvc that we arc making steady progress in the They are not discouraged or disheartened. They we have tackled a liLf joh. They want Congress President to work together, to get tilings done as .quietly and as effectively as possible.-' This is what the President is doing with the -material 'that he has in his (Jahinet and in his executive positions. There are lots of barnacles. We know it and we know that politicians put them there. They are still trying to do it. to get fat jobs for inciii'ipetcjit people. They always will try t. do it. Jsut what we need now is more of the lug men of the country who will serw in' executive positions, cut red tape and get things done. The incompetent, in inefficient, the bureaucrats will have to go. This is no time for any scruples or tenderheartedness. The people expect that the soldiers and sailors at the front will be backed up tt the fullest extent by everyone at Washington from Con gres to the janitor. o JXDJSCIMMLXATI'; SOLICIT! Ml This is written, not to hit at anyone in' the past or at any present-alrcady-started project The fact is that the merchants, business men, professional men anil laborers ire pestered to death by indiscriminate soliciting. They should be protected. Organizations 'not engaged in war work should, finance themselves without resorting to f;icket selling. This is not only a local but 'ft national evil. The public has been deluged with many projects to help ihe. soldiers and sailors. .Many of them', were unwise: many of them dishonest. ' Here is what should be dune. A local committee should lie formed to pass upon all ticket-selling soliciting projects. Unless O K'cd by this committee, the ticket selling should not be permitted. The. public is ready and willing to give, 'nit the giving will have to be limited to the irreat bitr. :inportant war undertakings and to caring for the needs d our own boys.
