Put 'Em In Jail
The congressional investigation of the affairs of
the United States shipping board is beginning to astound
the people of the country, for it is apparent that not a
few of those in positions of authority are guilty of in
discretion, or worse. The probe, as it progresses, indi
cates that employes of the government, in time of war,
conspired to defraud the public treasury and got away
with it, and that some of the honest men who believed
in exacting a dollars worth of service for a dollar ex
pended were summarily fired from their positions, and
were nuable to secure redress.
There is no excuse for deliberate dishonesty. The
straight road is the only easy road to follow. Our
prisons are full of examples of men who could not or
would not resist temptation, and who, like nearly all
thieves, were detected and punished.
The greater criminal is the man who connives to
steal from the government at a time when the country
ought to be solidly backing those clothed with authority
to prosecute war. He is a despicable creature, without
moral fibre. He ought to be placed in the category of
the man without a country, for he cannot call for pro
tection upon the nation that he has systematically set
out to rob.
After conditions in the shipping board are pried
wide open, congress might well go into the affairs of
the spruce production division, about so much has been
whispered in the northwest, and if men waxed rich on
ill-gotten profits they should be sent to a place where
they cannot enjoy their filthy money.
Put 'em in jail.
