Love 10 Like the Ocean.
How like the sea, the myriad minded
sea,
Is this large love of ours; so vast. so
deep.
So full Of mysteries! 1t, too, can keep
Its secrets, like the ocean, and is free,
Free as the boundless main. Now it
may be
Calm like the brow Of some sweet child
asleep.
Again its seething pillows surge and
leap
And break in fullness of their ecstasy.
Each wave so like the wave which
came before.
Yet never two the same! Imperative,
And then persuasive as the cooling
dove;
Encroaching ever on the yielding
shore
Ready to take. yet reader still. to
give
How like the myriad-minded sea ia
love!

CoURAGEoUs AND rHoROUGH.

If we can ever get report on en-
| balmed beef which is as courageous and
| thorough as the report of the commit
| tee on receipts and expenditures In this
State we shall know something about
embalmed beef The report of this COM
mittee is one of the most important and
practical reports ever made by such a
committee 1t will be received with a
fine chorus of approval at first, and then
when some of the Interests" attacked
in the report get in their fine work the
chorus will not be SO full and hearty.
1t is pointed out by the committee
that since 1877 there have been added to
institutions asking for State expendit-
ures twenty-eight, calling for 1912
During the twenty years from 1877 to
1897 State expenses have increased from
81, 1856, S46 to $2,445,716, while receipts in
creased only from s2,316,4S1 to $2SS2,373.
The largest increases were for judicia,
expenses, $1s9,9O2; common schools,
$107192, and National Guard, $130945,
the general increase being greatly out of
proportion to population. No provision
has been made for paying the State
debt of $3,24O,O00 at maturity, and the
committee recommend strongly tax Of
one-half mill on the grand lists Of the
towns, which will p tovide sinking fund
for the purpose
The committee says that the State can
save $409,000 year and shows how.
Among the economies recommended are
large reduction in judicial expendit-
ures, large reduction in the expenses
of the legislative sessions. the abolition
of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the
cutting off Of appropriations to the
board Of education of the blind, discon-
tinuing placing pupils in the care of
that board disseminating the so-called
Industrial Home Of the Blind and plac-
ing the kindersar ten department. of that
undertaking in charge of the State
Board of Education, discontinuance of
appropriation to the State Firemen's
Association, and discontinuance of one
Normal School.
The committee could and would save
the $4O90O0 and most Of the saving they
recommend wouldn't do any harm to the
State. But it would harm some of the
people of the State, and therefore there
will soon be some noble talk about the /
real needs of the State and some gen.
tie criticism of the committee. If we
save quarter of the $4O9, 900 mentioned
we shall do well

NOT EXdCTLY

The esteemed Register seems to have
been carried away short distance by
its justifiable enthusiasm over the ad-
mirable report Of the committee on re-
ceipts and expenditures, and we must
bring it back 1t is equally Impress
ed by the recommendation to abolish
the Labor bureau and it says that 1.-THE
office was originally created to make a
place for the faithful" Not just SO, es-
created for the faithful and the faithful
usually manage to gobble offices that
were not originally created for them.
Mayhap there has been gobbling
in the case OF the office of
Labor Commissioner in this state,
but in the first place the office
was little differently intended. 1t
was created at time when there was
strong and comparatively honest feeling
that something must be done for la
bor," and nobody knew any better thing
to do than to make "a bureau" So the
bureau was made and Governor Harri-
son appointed Arthur T. Hadley as
Commissioner. Although Mr.. Hadley
was faithful to the duties of his office
we don't suppose the Register would
call him zone of the faithful" With
Register that the bureau is no good and
might as we'll be abolished, unless it is
now needed for the faithful.

HELPFUL BANKS IN EIsM my.
Banks in Germany encourage thrift.
According to report by Walter Schu-
mann, our consul at Mainz, system is
established which invites weekly depos-

11.9 cents go pfennigs) up through 1, 2,
8, 4 and marks to 10. the mark being
rated at 1913 cents. The applicant for a
passbook gives his address and states
the amount which he wishes to deposit
regularly. Then collectors call and sage
him all further trouble. At the first call
he is presented with passbook in
which the proper entry is made. Sub
sequently printed coupons are left with
him by way of receipts. The account
is footed up at the end of the year or
whenever Withdrawals are made. Inter
est is allowed at the rate of 81 per
cent, beginning with January 1 of the
year following that in which the depos-
it's are made.

Mainz for the year 1896 amounted to
$165,392, and in 1897 they were $176,170.
The number of depositors for these
years was 5,263 and 5,4S5 respectiv ely;
the amounts withdrawn, $141,656 and
$154 1922; the balances due, $112,66 and
$137,030 Figures for the year 1898 indi-

start this department as an institution

of melting poor people to save their

must live among them. This she did,
and she also took infinite pains to learn

bravery and patience shown by Miss

borne good fruit. At the present time
