truth is, the country is growing 50
rapidly and the activities of the Gov
eminent are expanding so niue that
the expenditures are almost sure to
increase. Economy should not be
decried because it has seemed to ac-
complish little this session. All we'll
grounded efforts to economic are com
mendable. But economy talk in the
absence of results does not count for
much. The dropping from the rolls of
few aged clerks is not the sort of
economy that really effects any relief
worth mentioning to the Treasury.
One of the difficulties in the situa-
ton is that there is too much par
tisan talk of economy and too little
business-like and non-partisan con-
sideration of how TO hold down aP-
propria tions.

LOEB'S PUPILS CHANT PRAISES
OF CHIEF.

The first batch of graduates has been
sent forth from the University of Loeb,
whose founder is the erstwhile secre-
tary to T. R. and just now Big Stick
in the New York customs house. Like
true collegians, they have left the historic
halls which viii know them no more
with songs of praise for their alma
mater and their beloved prexy. One
Of the touching ditties that they chant
ed in celebra ton # commencement ran
like this:
Spot them, swat them, scan each face
JeWelry, corsets. Irish lace.
Watch the baggage. search the robe.
Lingerie! LIngeriel Loeb. Loeb, Loeb!
From which it is easy to deduce what
sort Of q new-fangled educational in
stitution Collector Loeb has founded
over in New York. 1t is a school for
customs inspectors. The course ex-
tends over a period Of one month, in
which time the applicant for job
or the lucky young man or woman who
already has a job but who is not letter
perfect in his OF her duties-must learn
all that nan has ever discovered about
the scienc, of detecting attempts to
smuggle.
When the student Of the University
of Loeb is graduated he or she re-
ceives the degree of Superior Hawk
shaw. incidentally, this is probably
the only university in the country that
never, under any circumstances, grants
honorary degrees. The only way TO
earn the right to wear the significant,
cabalistic letters after ones name Is
to master the art Of difTerentiating be-
tween a legitimate petticoat and a
lace swobbed lower anatomy. When
the student can do that, az well as a
thousand other delicate little, occult
stunts by which numerous nePhews
and nieces are blocked in the efforts
to cheat their conscientious old Uncle
Samuel, he OF she is entitled to the
degree Of s. H. and gets it.
1t is said that a big stick rampant,
with a Teddy bear pendant, consti-
tutes the official seal of the University
of Loeb, whose college colors are IN
derstood to be black and blue.

NEW SYSTEM OF BUSINESS
GRAFT UNEARTHED.

Even in New York, where it takes a
pretty scandaIous story TO cause a sen
sation, the recently discovered arsenic
Club" must be something that produces
more than mild surprise. Anywhere
else 1t would create a furore.
1t seems that the authorities have
unearthed evidence Of the existence of
an organization which supports itself
by the unique method Of extcrting
money from expressmen on threat Of
poisoning the Iatter's horses. It is
even stated BY some of the complain
ing witnesses that there have been cases
where members of the arsenic Club
have forced themselves into business
partnership with express men, who were
told their horses would be poisoned
unless a partners share of profits were
turned over to the conspirators.
That the expose reveals the actual
existence Of such a vicious, cold-blood-
ed and lawless society is indicated by
the testimony Of one truckman, who
said he refused to pay tribute to the
club and as a consequence lost TWEEN
ty-eight horses from arsenic poisoning.
Other expressmen and truckmen testi-
fed that they had been beaten with
brass "knucba' for declining to pay
money to members of the Arsenic
-lrS."
This is a fine, large piece Of corrup-
ZION which the police and the prosecut-
% Of New York, in spite of their mani
fold other time consuming duties
should root out in short order.

MORE MONEY IS NEEDED FOR
SANE FOURTH.

In spite Of the appeals of the com
mlttee on arrangements and of the
newspapers, money for the safe and
sane Fourth Of July celebration in
Washington Is coming in slowly.
One Of the most interesting. features
planned for the Fourth is the athletic
program. 1t had been hoped this could
be made superior to the athletic pro-
gram Of last year More events were
planned and a chcicer assortment of
I-lzes was contemplated. The pro-
mOters of the sane Fourth celebration
rightly judged that great interest
would attach to the athletic program
OF The day Not only would the par
Elephants be keenly alive to the sport
and the competition, and enjoy both.
but so, also, would be the friends of
participants. Thus the committee
hoped to provide a form Of entertain
ment that would appeal, directly and
indirectly, to a very large number of
people.
Today it looks as If the athletic pro-
gram would have to be shortened and
simPlifed because of lack of suff-
Client funds to carry out the commit
tees plans. All that can save the
original program is an immediate and
more generous contribution to the
sane Fourth fund on the part of the
citizens of Washington.
About $1,000 has been subscribed.
while $1,000 Is needed. Surely Wash
ingtOn VIII not let it be said that our
model Fourth of July was only a
near-success this year, on account of
the failure Of the people to provide
the small sum necessary for its cele-
bIatiOn.

RICH WOMAN'S KIND
WORKS APPRECIATED.

There Is a pleasing touch of senti-
nent beneath the recent action of the
employees of the Gould railways in pre-
senting a loving cup 70 Miss Helen
Miller Gould, the bachelor maid daugh-
ter of the late Jay Gould, and one of
he most admirable characters among
cOntemPoraneous American women.
Helen Gould is a wholesome, lovable
woman, whose ambition in life is to
use her great wealth to make the less
fortunate happier. She has been a
powerful influence for good in the rail
road Y. NJ. c. A. and has done much
to improve the condition of officers
and men of the American merchant
marine. There is nothing sordid or
selfish about her. She cares nothing for
society and but little for travel She
prefers to devote her time to doing
good for others.
The country holds Helen Gould in
the highest respect. That the railway
men Of America appreciate her efforts
in their behalf is forcefully attested
by Miss Gould's little birthday party
the other day, when the Gould rail

WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE
ECONOMY MOVEMENT?

What has become Of the economy Of
which so much was heard when Con-
gress met? A vast amount of talk
was INDUCED in last December, and. in
fact, all through the winter, about
pairing expenditures to the bone. Much
was made of the fact that when the
annual estimates were sent to Con
gress at the outset Of the session. they
had been Topped OIL to an unusual
extent In the departments, cIerks
went about in fear and trembling lest
the economy wave should strike them
an submerge them, and finally float
them up ashore and leave them
stranded without Jobs.
Now, with the end of the session at
hand, 1T does not appear that much
has been effected. Gripping the purss
strings tightly for a while, Congress
has shown o disposition to loosen that
gr.p g-adualls as the months went by.

ROOSEVELT RETAINS SIREN
UOUS VOCABULARY.

Thank goodness, the colonel got back
with his siren Ious vocabulary intact.
Even though he has thus far proved
a disappointment to those who expect
ed he would stand up in the bow of his
ship and tell the country what's the
matter and what should be done about
it, he has given early Indication of his
old ability to call a spade a spade and
lie a lie
His first new outburst, typical of the
many with which he delighted the
country and made journalism worth
while during his seven years in the
White House, concerned the reported
engagement of his daughter, Mss
Ethel. This IS the way the colonel
commented on the rumor:
