OUR COSTLY NEGLIGENCE J
“Co-ordination" is a liml, haggard, : j
nervous wreck of a word vital was *
nearly worked to or ; h at Washington
during the early days of the war. It
was the lirsi of tlit dollar-a-year words
to eotue forward to do \ ar work, and
it was worn to a fra:;;:' 1 hate to
drag the poor wan thing ( ;:t from the j
(ptiel retreat in my dicta .nary where
it has been resting and recuperating, i f
hut 1 must say that tins lack of co- |
ordination, lack of organization, du- (
plication,- Inefficiency, waste, and hap- t
hazard hodge-podge structure of the
national governmental machine is no •
secret to those at Washington, who i
run and manage il for us, and who tire '
even more directly responsible than :
we are for llie condition Into which
it lias fallen. ,
1 submit picas of avoidance and
confession from both Democrats and ,
Republicans. It is not a matter of j
politics. It is a matter of proved and
confessed negligence on the part of i
the men we have hired to run t lie ma- <
chine, and have kept year after year
in places of trust and power and re
sponsibility. They haven't k< pt up
the plant. The form of organization
is grotesquely inadequate. The mor
ale of tile working force is badly im
paired, as I have set forth at length
in previous articles. We have paid
the price for this, grossly and hugely.
| in motley and' in poor service, lids
lias been costly negligence on our part.
I said I had confessions. Here they
are. Heed Smoot. Republican and a
senator from Utah, speaking;
The administrative brandies of the
government have undergone no funda
mental change since the organization was
j devised by Alexander Hamilton. i
j Xo other government in the world
j could have gone on as ours has done, and
j paid the bills involved in our wasteful
j methods of administration. We have been
j able to do it because lids country lias
had resources and wealth unparalleled.
But the war lias brought us at last to
realize that these will not last always.
We need a complete survey of the whole
situation de novo by a committee of men
willing to recognize that it is a task of
day and night for a year, and very likely,
two years. . .
There is endless duplication of work
among different departments, and even
in the same department. . . . It is
the same through all the government
functions, and now, when the burden of
carrying our enormous debt is weighing
on the people, we can no longer neglect
to give it consideration.
When he said those things, Mr.
Smoot was urging a concrete proposal
to bring about tlie reformation so bad
ly needed.
And now Franklin D. Roosevelt, for
seven years assistant secretary of the ,
navy and recently the Democratic can- '
didate for vice president:
The entire system of relationship which |
exists between congress and the execu- . (
live departments is fundamentally wrong. ,
l.et me illustrate; I made an offer one >
spring to the appropriations committees 1
of both house and senate, telling them |
that 1 would tomorrow discharge 15 per ,
cent of the employees of the Navy de- ,
partmenl if they, the committees, would -
give me complete authority to take one- '
half of the salaries of the employees so '
discharged and add it to the salaries of •
the other 85 per cent of the employees 1
still left In the department. ... Of |
course, however, under the present sys- ;
tern congress would not think of giving >
executive discretion of this kind.
Congress, for various reasons, lias so I
tied the hands of the executive officers :
of the government that they have no dls- i
cretion in the fundamental questions of j
employment. . . . My own wonder is |
that, considering the existing clrcum- j
stances, the employees of the govern- j
ment are as efficient as they actually are. ;
Congress legislates for every minute item 1
of employment. . . . There is a lot
of work being done in other departments
which ought properly to be under the
Navy department, and in the same way |
there is a lot of work done by the Navy
department which could perfectly prop- j
erly be transferred to other departments.
After seven years down here in an ex
ecutive position ... I cannot help the
conclusion that our governmental meth
ods are cumbersome and wasteful. The
first improvement must come in what is, j
after all, the source of governmental ac- j
tivities—that is, the legislative branch. . . .
This must come from congress. We need
also a reclassification and redistribution
of the work of the executive depart
ments. This can only come if congress,
working In accord with itself and with
the executives, will discuss the whole
question simultaneously and not merely
piecemeal.
Well, there you are! A Republican
who has been in tbe legislative branch
of the government for seventeen years,
and a Democrat who has been in the
executive branch for seven years, both
telling the same story of how badly
the national business is managed.
The odd thing about it is that oar
agents and representatives at Wash
ington who let this waste and inef
ficiency run on, year after year, pay
no penalty. We pay the piper to the
tune of millions and billions —literally
that much. And the condition will en
dure until we make a real roar about
t. Congress increasingly shakes its
head over the situation and brings in
various proposals of reform, and says
how wrong it all is; hut lacking a
lively, inflamed 'public pressure, noth
ing gets done.
The lives of several kinds of plan":
have been doubled by a Vienna botan
ist who lias discovered wavs to delay
their blossoming and germination.
Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of ’ the ear.
Catarrhal Deafness requires constitu
tional treatment. HALL’S CATARRH
MEDICINE is a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed. Deafness is the result. Unless
the Inflammation can be reduced, your
hearing may be destroyed forever.
HALL’S CATARRH MEDICINE acts
through the blood on the mucous sur
faces of the system, thus reducing the in
flammation and restoring normal condi
tions.

DR COPELAND
FAVORS CORSETS
New York lily’s Prominent Heailli
(’nniinis.sionci’ Says Modern \Vo;n-j
an Need Them,
Dr. Copeland, who is doing every-!
thing in liis power to raise the stand, j
aids of health, is particularly inter
ested in improving the health of New
Tory women. For four weeks he di
rected the training of the so called
■fat squad.” which was composed of
women who previous to the daily
regimen of diet and exercise prescrib
ed by the doctor, tipped the scales at !
anywhere from two hundred to two'
hundred and seventy pounds-
All of these women lost, twenty l
pounds or more, the greatest loss ot'i
weight being thirty-one pounds-;
They, one and all, declare their gen-i
eral health greatly benefited by the'
course and are jubilant over the re-!
suits.
Asked by a reporter of the Corsets
and Lingerie if correct corseting!
would, in conjunction with the con-|
tinuance of the dieting and exercis-i
ing, assist the women to keep their|
weight down. Dr. Copeland said. “As-1
suredly it would help. I understand!
ihere are corsets that tend to re-|
duce and if the corset is made so !
that it distributes the flesh more;
evenly, the general appearance will'
be improved. Rut still more im
portant is Ihe fact that the woman
who is over weight requires very
firm abdominal support. She needs
corsets that will keep the weight of
the 'too, too solid flesh from drag
ging on the abdominal muscles.”
To ilie query, “Does the modern
woman need corsets?” lie unhesitat
ingly replied, “There’;-, no question
about i:. Take tin* women who are
in business, especially those who ate
compelled to stand most, of the day.
A good corset relieves the strain that
prolonged standing places on the
back and abdomen. Any business
woman who is foolish enough to go
without a corset lowers her vitality,
by lessening her endurance.”
The doctor asserted that thin
women need corsets, for the reason
that women of that type often have
not sufficient flesh to hold their or
gans well in place” Some sort of
support is a wise thing for a woman
to have, whatever her weight may
be,” he declared.
“Every woman should realize that,
the condition and placement of the
abdominal organa and muscles are of
vital importance. Her health may be
seriously affected as the ultimate re
sult of abdominal displacements.
Many a woman has repented of her
folly in neglecting to protect those
organs aft< r the damage was done
and it was too late to undo it.”
“How about the debutante slouch?
was asked. “It is hideous,” he an
swered “but its ugliness and un
gaiuliness are not the worst of it.
The contraction of the lungs and for
word throw of the abdomen that al
aways accompany it are injurious.
There is no reason why girls should
not have all the ease and freedom
they want and be sensibly corsets
too- Mothers should see that they
wear corsets which will help them to
stand up straight and give them per
fect balance When poorly poised,
their weight is not properly adjusted,
and too much strain is placed on cer
tain muscles. More tired nerves

Oklahoman Praises Black-Draught,
Having Used It “Can Safely
Say for 50,Years.”
Graiulfield, Okla. — One of the best
known farmers of Tilman County, Mr.
G. tv. Tisdale, who owns and manages
a wagon yard here, says:
T have us r -d Thedford’s Black
! i •-tight—l beiiove I can safely say fop
I 1-;•;>■ years.
i i was born and reared In Texas,
i Freestone County, sixty-four years ago.
I have been ma rled forty-four years.
[? Iy father used Black-Draught before I
j was married, and gave it to us . . .
•'For forty-four years of my married 1
I life, it has had a place on our modi
■ cine shelf, and is the only laxative, or
j liver medicine, we use. We use it
for torpid liver, sour stomach, head-
I ache, indigestion ... I don’t think we
i could get along without it, knowing
| what It has done for us, and the money
lit has saved. It Is just as good and re
liable today as It was when we began
; Its use. My boys use it and they are
! satisfied it’s the best liver medicine
; they have ever used.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught is purely
vegetable, not disagreeable to take
and acts in a prompt and natural way.
So many thousands of persons have
been benefited by the se of Thedford’s
Black-Draught, you should have no
hesitancy in trying this valuable old
well-established remedy, for most live? ;
