made. The fact that the appropriations
were less than the estimates does not
relieve congress from responsibility for
their unprecedented extravaganza. No
excuse whatever can be found for SINH
lar legislation in the future.
1T is important in the interest Of the
public that a radical change in the pro
cedure with reference to appropriation
should be made.
ut should be the function of the com,
mittee on public expenditures recently
created to take into consideration long
before the appropriation bills are re-
ceived from the house. the estimates
and needs of the various departments
and report their recommendations to the
senate in order that responsibility for
future extravagances may be clearly
fixed. I am myself satisfied that last
years appropriations could have been
pairing the efficiency CT the public ser
vice.
Expenses Must Be Cut.
I'm the work of necessary reduction
in expenditure and in reform in meth
DDS, of appropriation to which the sem
ate is pledged l am authorized to say
that we shall have the earnest support
and cooperation of the president and
the administration.
"I may be asked what would happen
/ if it should be found that have been
oversanguine or wholly inaccurate in
my statements of probable conditions
and results. I answer with emphasis
that it would then be the imperative
duty of congress to reduce expenditures
and make them conform to actual reve-
nue. conditions and not to impose new
| and onerous taxes.
1.-The imposition of other taxes under
these conditions would not only be I'M
wise but unjust and pretudicial to every
| interest of the people.
| In the face of the record l have dis
closed, no political party can afford to
place new and unnecessary burdens
upon the industries and people of the
United States and I should regret ex-
tremely if the party of which l am
member should assume any such re-
sponsibility."
| In commenting upon the tariff bill
/ Mr.. Aldrich said it was not his pur-
| pose to discuss the wisdom or I'M
wisdom of the protective tariff policy.
He added that there would be no at
| tempt to restrict debate on the Demo-
| cratic side upon the question.
| Three items, he said, had been re-
| ported practically without recon-
| mendation-coal and its reciprocal
| provision, print paper and wood pulp,
| and hides. He said that this had not
been done because of any desire to
4 evade responsibility on those ques-
\ lions. but merely because the COM
| mittee had not received data that
would be necessary to permit 1t to
| draw its conclusion. When that data
l was received, he said, recon-
/ mendations would be made in respect
| to those items.

Public officials should not object
to criticism, but should rather well
come it. None are perfect. and it is
a wholesome thing TO be told Of ones
errors or shortcomings occasionally.
IF criticisms be unjust, they are cas-
lily answered, and if based upon ac-
tuaI deficiencies in the conduct of
public affairs by the officials at whom
they are directed, they should stimu-
late the officials to attempt to rem
edy the evils pointed out. Very often,
it is true, critics are captious and in
clined to be too severe in raking pub
lie officials over the Goals. Too often
the critics may be found to belong to
the political party in opposition to
the officials whom they criticise. But.
taken as a general thing, it must be
admitted that the administration of
public affairs almost everywhere
shows defects which may be criticised
with benefit to the public veal Con-
crosses, legislatures. county commits
sioners' courts and city councils ev-
erywhere pass laws that are open to
objections commit acts that deserve
criticism. If no one ever pointed out
these defects. they might never be
remedied. The servants of the people
instead of being thin skinned, and
growing indignant if taxpayer dare
to say that they should or should not
do so and so, should welcome honest
criticism, and should endeavor to see
whether there are any grounds for it
before growing angry and saying ugly
things about their critics. The people
pay the bills for public service, and
are entitled to say what they think
about what they receive for their
money. At the same time. it would
be only just for the critics to note the
good work done by public officials,
as well as to point out their faults.
Criticism does not necessarily mean
fault-fnding.

Everyone who has an idea to advance

Tricentennial of Pilgrims Landing.

Boston has launched project for
a great worlds fair in 1920, to COM
memorate the three hundredth ami
versary OF the landing of the Pilgrims
and the founding of New England.
The Herald, with great enthusiasm,
takes up the movement, and says: In
1920 sixteen years will have passed
since the preceding great exposition
in this country. that of st. Louis,
which commemorated the Louisiana
Purchase; twenty years will have
passed since the preceding great expo
sition in Europe, that of Paris in
1900 The interval is, therefore. not
too short, nor is the announcement too
far in advance.

SENATE COMMITTEE
INVESTIGATES CANAL,
Makes Tour Along Delaware
and Raritan Waterway.

Members of the Senate investigating
committee, with superintendent Gest
and Assistant Superintendent Dunn, of
the Delaware and Raritan Canal,
started on an inspection tour of that
channel today.
In New Brunswick the party, with
the invited guests and newspaper men,
numbering about twenty-five members,
started from New Brunswick on the
tugboat Teiief. 1t was at first the de-
sire Of Superintendent Gest to take no
reporters on the journey and had they
been left out the investigating COM
mittee planned a second our of inspec-
ton on which the representatives of tile
newspapers were to be featured.
From New Brunswick the Relief
made its way down toward Borden
and the canal and it's banks came
in for scrutiny throughout its length.
From Bordentown the members of the
party returned by rail to their homes.
The Senate committee consists of Sena-
tors George S. Silzer, chairman; Will
lam J. Bardley and Harry B. Leavltt.
The purpose of the inspection Is to see
that traffic OF the canal is not being
suppressed and whether it Is still bene-
fetal to the people of the State.
