Congressional Problems

Inc men VINO are In charge OF the
appropriation bills in Congress, and
the Republican leaders in both the
Senate and House have task before
them. The administration has sound
ed a note of warning that a policy
of retrenchment must be adopted and
that appropriation must be held
down. The leaders have approved
this policy and members of Congress
generally say it is a move in the
right direction. Difficulty is expert
enced, however, in putting into
effect practical working scheme to
save Uncle Sans money. At the
Navy Department it is insisted that
two battle ships must be authorized
at this session. At the War Depart
ment there is opposition to any plan
for reduction of the standing army.
Senators and Representatives of
both political parties are extremely
anxious that an omnibus public
buildings bill shall pass this winter.
Their constituents demand it and
will think they are without influence
in Washington if they are unable to
get through an authorization for a
new postoffice building in their
district. From the arid states of
the West comes demand for an
extension of the reclamation policy,
while from various parts of the
country there is an insistent de-
mand that river and harbor i'm
provements shall not be further de-
layed. The State Department
wants embassies provided in some
of the old world capitals to the end
that this country may increase its
prestige among the nations. And
so ad infnitum. Members of con-
gress who are for retrenchment in
one direction insist that the appro-
pr1at1onS snail be increased In other
ways. When the iniquity of an in
creased appropriation approaches
local demands even the most aus
tere advocate of retrenchment twill
take his shriveled hand without re-
sistance and find him smiling as
his step draws near" The men
who want to cut and slash right
and left are honest watchdogs of
the treasury, but they bay deep
mouth'd welcome" as the appro-
priation draws near home. Chair
man Tawney of the Appropriations
Committee will be the ablest and

New Years is a grand, and inspir-
ing occasion, for it is always satur-
ated with hope. We are wont to
scott at and deride it as a day
when men make good resolutions
only 10 break them; when they turn
over new leaves, as it is called,
merely to turn them back again.
They want, they hope to be better,
and but few of them are so. They
determine to advance, and if they
do advance they slip back. Their
failures are many, are continuous,
and often excite laughter. But it
is worthier to determine and decline,
to hope and be disappointed, than
not to determine or hope at all
Determination and hope add to our
contest, or at least diminish our
discomfort, and they are born of
New Years. The great need of
human life is content, never attain
ed, never attainable. And through
New Years we are deluded into
belief of its possibility. Therefore
welcome be New Years, not for
what it gives, but for what it prom
Uses TO give.

Advocates of prohibition for the
Hawaiian Islands have informed
members of Congress that for forty
cents gallon of "Dago Red" may
be bought in Honolulu. This will
keep two families of Hawaiians
drunk for two days. The Washing
ton dispatches do not report whether
the advocates of the proposed legis-
lation left any samples of this in
sidious concoction with the Congress
siopal Committee. If they did, it
would be worth forty cents to test a
gallon of the stuff on some Con-
gressmen who seem to regard the
Senate and House as a place where
two-day speeches can be made.

THE CLOSE OF THE YEAR

The close OF the year is always
time for serious thought and refec-
ton. The past crowds upon US at
such time with far more than u.s.
ual tensity and especially forces
upon our attention, our faults, fail
ures and mistakes. Let us look
them squarely in the face and profit
by them. The wise man always
does this, but the fool never. The
latter goes on committing the same
follies and making the same mis-
takes, never profting by his expert
ence, to say nothing of the expert
ence of others. Every man makes
mistakes. 1t may not be his fault
the first time, but it is if he makes
the same mistakes a second time.
We believe that the secret of sue
cess with those who succeed, and
cause of failure with those who fail,
will be found largely in the ability
and disposition to study the cause
of both success and failure, not
only in ones own experience but in
that of others. The farmer now
has leisure to review the operations
of the year, and he should do it
candidly and critically. Make a
complete analysis of every import
ant operation. Find the weak
places in it and trace them to their
origin. Nothing will prepare one
SO thoroughly for the operations of
the year to come as this kind of
searching investigation.
And while we are about this bust
ness we should look just as care
fully into our record of moral re-
sponsibility. We should be far
more anxious to improve character,
mind and morals than to improve
our farms. Serious study of our
weak points and of means to
strengthen them is very profitable
business at any time, and if pur-
sued assiduously will strengthen
and develop all that is good and
admirable i'll our natures, and make
us better, stronger, nobler men and
women as the years go by, And
the time will come in the life of
every one when such record of
honest, earnest, persistent effort to
improve will afford far greater sat
isfaction than anything else in his
account with this world. We can
wish no better thing for all our
readers than that they begin the
new year animated by firm resolve
to turn all it's experience into profit
for themselves, mentally, morally,
socially and materially, and then
to faithfully carry out the resolu-
ton.

President Taft Warns Census
Supervisors

President Taft's words of warn
ing to supervisors of the census
that they must not be governed by
political considerations in selecting
their enumerators is most timely.
you have got to select the men
that you think will do the work, and
if you catch them doing political
work l wish you to remove them,
just as / will remove you if catch
you doing political work." said Mr.,
Taft. In other words, the President
has determined that this purely
business proposition shall be
handled in a business way. There
is no work over which the govern
ment has supervision that ought to
be done with more thoroughness
than the taking of the census. 1t
is the means by which we measure
our progress and if it is inaccurate
it is worse than useless, The
statistics which are to be collected
next April will form the groundwork
of most of the Legislative reforms of
the next ten years. Theg will de-
termine the apportionfnent OF the
Congressional districts of the states
and will be basis on which new
states will be admitted into the
Federal Union.
The Importance of an accurate in
ventory at stated periods is appre-
ciated by every merchant and manu-
facturer. This inventory cannot
be made by men who are incompe-
tent and no successful business man
would think of letting his best
political friend dictate to him the
men he should employ for his stock
taking" The trainers of the Con
stitution wisely provided that at
every decennial period in our his
tory we should make an investiga-
ton of our people, their affairs and
their resources. The thirteenth de-
cennial inventory of this character
will cost the government about
SIS, 100000. Every prudent bust
ness man will commend Mr.. Taft S
effort to have this great sum ex-
pended in the most painstaking
manner with a view to getting at
the real facts. These facts cannot
be ascertained by men who have
nothing except political influence to
recommend them. The census super
visors may owe their appointments
to their members of Congress, but
their first duty is to the government
and it will be we'll for them to keep
in mind Mr.. Taft's admonition. Il
take great pride in this census" he
said: Il believe we can make it the
best census that has been taken, if
we take it as a census and do not
use it and regard it as incidental to
something else"
