Synopsis
Excerpt from Bristow's Editorials That Caused Such a Stir in Kansas: Was He Right?
When Senator Bristow was in Washington last May, as chairman of the Kansas Public Utilities Commission, to oppose the 15%, or $1,000,000 a day, increase in interstate freight rates, he saw the menace to this country from greed, extravagance and graft.
He thought some one ought to speak out against it. So he wrote from there a signed editorial on "The Situation in Washington," which appeared in the Salina Journal. He was at once denounced vehemently by the partisans of the President and the metropolitan press as unpatriotic for criticising the administration while the country was at war. However, he never flinched before the criticism and denunciation, nor hesitated in his fight for efficiency and honesty in the public service, but has kept it up to the present time. He has maintained from the beginning that honesty and efficiency in governmental affairs in time of war is as essential as in time of peace.
Events have confirmed every statement he made. A number of the abuses he so severely criticised have been remedied and other conditions improved. Men, who condemned him then, now say he has rendered a great public service. If he had been in the Senate how much more effectively he could have fought and how much more useful he could have been to the nation.
This country now imperatively needs men of his discernment and courage in public life. Kansas can render a great service to the nation by sending him back to the Senate. - Beloit Gazette.

Bristow's Editorials That Caused Such a Stir in Kansas: Was He Right?
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book concerns the egregious amount of graft, greed, and corruption within the US government during the first World War. The author demonstrates how this corruption manifested in the form of contracts, sales, and other dealings that astronomically enriched individuals through the unchecked amassing of government bonds and the exploitation of food and war material necessities. The author also makes clear that these predatory and deceitful practices did not only harm the government but also inflicted great suffering on the American people themselves. This book is a timely and urgent call for Americans to revisit how their government operates during times of war. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
