What the District needs IS less profes-

would include
A hard-h headed business man as

A bureau eNpert-preferably pro-
moted-to provide accurate knowledge
of the machinery of government, and
the appointee must necessarily be alive.

SENATOR BOURNE on Gov
EMINENT EXPENSES.

Senator Bourne Of Oregon, who is
chairman Of a subcommittee of the new
Senate Committee OF Public Expendi-
lures. is out with an optimistic predic-
ton on economy in appropriations. Ac-
cording TO Senator Bourne, it is possible
to sink the knife deep into Government
expenditures and yet not impair the eff
fciency Of the service. He says;
We can cut down the expenditures
of the Government by many millions of
dollars. If we can reduce our appro-
priations from to TO per cent, we can
save for the Government annually be
tween s50.OOO,0OO and 100000 900. ]
believe this saving can be made"
Senator Bourne asserts that what
the Government needs above all else is
cooperation and the introduction of
business methods. lie does not say
there is graft in the Government serv-
ice. but does contend there is not due
effectiveness.
In this Senator Bourne is undoubt-
edlv right That is, there Is room for
cooperation, prevention of duplication,
and more busincsslike methods Much
can be done in this direction. 1t would
not be fair, however, to assert that
nothing has been done toward this end.
For instance, the system of purchasing
supplies through one central board has
already resulted in large savings.
But when Senator Bourne conveys
the idea that the Government appro-
priatious can be permanently reduced
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1909-11-20

by $jOOO0OO0, or double that sum, he Is
speaking with an optimism which OBJ
servation Of the course of Congress in
past sessions does not warrant. 1t Is
possible that it can and will be done
But folks VINO are experienced in the
ways of Congresses viii insist on being
shown Nor viii the appropriations
of a single session of Congress be "a
fair basis of Judgment. The appro-
priations may 5c damned up for one
session and allowed to flow freely the
next. There must be extensive and
permanent Tetrenchment before the idea
OF Senator Bourne is realized. and the
undertaking is one that can be accom-
Plished only by herculean efforts on the
part of House and Senate leaders and

CHRISTMAS BUYING AND
YOUR SENSE OF BEAUTY.

Have you yourself done any Christ
mas buying YETI If you haven't you've
missed a mighty good time.
+ street and Pennsylvania avenue
are mighty interestin' sights these
days-to men and women not too old to
appreciate the beauty of our Washing
ton girls. These latter have found out
that this is the time to buy presents,
and so they walk the streets from store
to store, end take all the clerks time
they want land give you and us new
understanding how art is the pursuit
of the beautifully.
Try your youngsters on this question
of buying your presents now Ask
them whether they want to wait until
the Saturday before Christmas or go
through the toy departments this very
week. You know what their answer
viii be.
Well, then pick up today's Times
and begin to read the advertisements
aloud. Try almost any page.
Here's one that tells about watches.
Maybe you've forgotten your own first
watch. But note the oldest boys eyes
when you read.
Here's another page that tells all
about some dependable clothing, some
new gloves, and some hats that possess
character. You've reached the age,
maybe, where buying a hat is nuis-
ance-and perhaps a tragedy, if the
hair has begun TO vanish. But it isn't
so for the youngsters, or for the grown
up lady and the part grown-uP young
ladies of your household.
Silk petticoats are on another page,
That's something for you to think
about for Christmas. And caracul
coats-what in the world are they?
Well, whatever they are, they are as
good to buy for Christmas now, when
the clerks have time and are not all
worn out and you have money, as ever
they viii be the last two or three days
before Christmas.
Think over this matter OF holiday
shopping. Get in line. Read the ad-
vertisements aloud. Have luncheon
with your family some day soon, and
then 90 out and do a little real buying
according to the advertisements the
newsboys VIII put in your hands almost
as soon as You get up from the table.
Make Christmas this year a season of
peace and leisurely buying. And maybe
your sense of beauty will receive an
impulse.

The PLATFORM VERSUS THE
CAUCUS.

It is plain enough that the point of
this debate between Senator Cummius
and Spes ker Cannon is not the ques-
ton Of which of them is the Republican
and which is not. but whether the party
platform is 70 be the party law or the
dictate Of caucus which sets aside the
platform.
Not very long ago Puck presented a
most effective editorial declaring that
the greatest present-day question was
that Of making political parties regard
their platform pledges as sacred, and
intended 10 be executed. Speaker Can
non says he has lived up to the dictate
of his psrty's caucus; Senator Cummins
declares that he is demanding compIi-
ance with the spirit of the party plat
.arm. Which is right
Manifestly, the platform, solemnly
adopted by the chosen representatives
of the whole party, is the law of the
party until another platform shall have
been made in its place. II is the plat
form, not the caucus mandate, on which
the party goes to the country and asks
support. The platform is the one ex-
preston which in. four years, can be
given Of the viii and wish of the whole
body Of the party. IT may be ineffec-
tive; it may be a poor Interpretation;
it may not satisfy everybodyi but,
once adopted. 1t is entitled TO be ac-
cepted as the law OF the party, the rule
of conduct for good party men,
Shall a caucus of Congressman or
Senators or party leaders subsequently
set aside the platform and hold IL up
10 derision? We think not not unless
the party is to convict itself of a fatal
breach of faith with the people.
There has been too much Of this
light disregard Of party pledges. There

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
LIBRARY OF FINANCE.

Whatever may be thought Of It's
purpose and tendency, there can be no
doubt the currency commission, headed
by Senator Aldrich, is getting together
a vast store of financial information. 1t
has set at work the greatest authorities
in the world to compile, analyze, and
present the best currency and banking
experience of the world, with its lesson
for the United States, now aboat enter
ing on serious consideration of currency
reform.
If any criticism were to be made OF
the commissions work thus far it
would be that the central bank argu-
ment seems to have the floor pretty
much to itself. The authorities en-
gagged in writing books and brochures
and essays and pamphlets are almost
all representative of the central bank
view, and OF experience with central
bank administration. 1t may be that
there are no other authorities worth
quoting, but certainly in the United
States there are some men of distinc
tion who do not indorse this plan of
currency reform for application TO this
country. 1t is, therefore, not beside
the matter in hand to suggest that
some of the respectable authorities on
the other side ought to be heard from
in the work of commission.
Senator Aldrich viii make mistake
if he prepares a great library for the
express purpose of tlueidating the cen
trail bank plan. That seems the ten
dency OF his work thus far. The great
est financial and banking authorities in
the world have been set at writing
books for the commission. The list of
them is most imposing and justiiies the
belief that there will be tremendous
value in the great collection of con
temporaneous authority on the whole
question involved. But Just so GER
tsinly as the literary product of the
commission gives evidence of a desire
10 lead public opinion. instead OF
illumine the subject fairly from all
sides, just so surely win there be a
prejudice aroused which viii work to
the injury of the plan and the disad-
vantage of all efforts at currency re-
form.
This newspaper inelines strongly to-
ward the central bank of issue, proper
~ adapted to American conditions, as
the solution of our currency problem;
but it does not believe that anything
like tainted or one-sided literature of
the subject should be put forth under
the pretense of giving the country a
general illumination of the subject. It
viii be better for whatever plan Sena-
tor Aldrich has in mind if he keeps
the country in the belief that he is
fairly and open mindedly presenting all
the authorities on all sides and inviting
the people 10 help in making decision.
