In THE lsudable effort to reduce the
enormous expenditures of government
the administration at Washington will
make large reductions of the number Of
employees. This economic process, 1t is
stated, will be rigidly applied to sll the
departments. There is no question that
the same business methods that are pur-
sued BY private employers would enable
the government to dispense with a null
tItude of oficeholders. During the
seven years or more OF Mr.. Roosevelts
administration the number of oficehold'
ers was swollen beyond sll possible needs
of good government. This one OF the
Roosevelt "polioies" his successor, says
the Philadelphia Record, proposes to
sbste by sweeping away the "Tite Bar
nscles Of The DISQUALIFICATION office. "
Another and greater economy csn be
accomplished at the same time By stop

dresdnought chips Of war to rePel i'm
agiusry invaders aud by ending the
wasteful military occupation of the Phil
ippine islands which, as stated yester-
day cost this government last year nearly

The brief contains a plan for settling

Is void because 1t infringes the right
guaranteed by the constitution to free

replaced By Law forbidding individual

Of iujuring competitors.

cations Of capital not only innocuous,

An ominou5 feature Of the disorders
which have broken out in certain
European cities is the attacks on
churches aud the mensces Of mobs which
have al times gathered around episcopal

those Who sre bent upon bringing about
new departures or precipitating revolu'
lions that churches are naturally ailieo
with the powers that be, and that eCclesi-
astics and kings must fall simultaneously.
The feeling sgainst representatives OF
the church has become so bitter that In
some cities prelstes take their lives 10
their hands when they leave their epis'
copal residences. In some cities soldiers
are now guarding the homes OF church
dignitsries. The thoughtless may sup
pose that such hospitality lie only directed
against certain branches of the Christian
religion. Such may be the case now,
but outlaws have no more respect Tor
one denomination than for another, aud
