pert writing on the subject says that
the first step in the progress OF true
temperance reform must be the re-
cognition Of the fact that the irrcsist
able craving for strong drink is the

directed will wean away the craving
naturally and with no danger to the

The Philadelphia Record has been
studying the meteorological reports
OF tho Weather Bureau and gives the
result Of its observations as follows:
The wettest place in the United
States is Neah Bay, Washington
where the average annual rainfall is
l23 inches. Tho dryest place in the
United States, where regular obser.
yations are taken, is Fort Garland.
Colorado, whore tho average annual
rainfall is lees than six inches. There
are, however, localities in Arizona,
Nevada and Utah where rnin has
never been known 60 fall.
IL science can devise soino means OF

WHERE OUR MONEY GOES.

In these times, when the people are
straining every nerve to bring their
expenses down to the lowest possible
point, many of our public departments
are conducted on plan OF extravaganza
that would not be tolerated even in
boom days. We have in these columns
presented facts and figures to the public
that should lead to such retreachment
liz the conduct OF our municipal affairs
as would enable our city to reduce the
tax rate to at most one dollar on the
hundred.
In another portion OF this Issue we
have called the attention OF the taxpay-
ers to the wasteful and extravagant
manner in which our public library is
conducted. The estimate for a years
expenditures of this branch of tho pub
lilo service, inclusive OF gas and other
expenses, brings it up to 26,S27.70. OF
this amount only $3.50 is allowed for
the purchase of new books. which leaves
the amazing total of $22 ,077.70 to 60 to
pay salaries and current expenses. As
Prince Hal would say, this lie an intoler-
able amount of sack to a ha'penny's
worth of bread. As in some OF the
other departments of the public service,
the high-salaried officials OF the library
make sinecures OF their positions and
leave the real work to be done by assist
ants. These are multiplied to such
degree that although their individual
salaries are small, yet in the aggregate
they amour. to most formidable sum.
Over $4,000 are required to meet the
salary roll alone
This department is urgently in need
of complete overhnuling. 1t is per-
mitted to be run by man in whose
judgment in literary matters the public
have no confidence, and whose manifold
and multifarous callings, as broker.
boomer, Spectator, editor, actor, critic,
real estate operator, and we know not
how many other good. bad and indiffer-
ent occupations, leave him but scant
time in which to exercise his massive
brain" in looking alter the interests OF
the taxpayers in the management of the
library. How can a man who, lin the
space of one revolving moon, is fiddler,
chemist, actor and buffoon," bring his
versatile genius down to study of the
small or even the great economics OF an
institution of this character He should
be replaced by one who is fit. Until
that ia done we NAV look for ontinu-
snce OF the past extravagant manage
ment Of our public library.
Without in the slightest degree low.
ering the efficiency of this department
of our municipal service, its expenses
could be reduced to nearly one-hslf Of
the estimate made for running it next
year. Theae are not times in which
the hard-bested taxpayer can afford to
indulge in the luxury Of officials whose
greatest merit is to fill sinecures and
draw high salaries.
