Congressional Economy

In theory the refusal Of Congress to
provide an automobile for the Speaker. or
anybody else connected with the govern
ment, would be unassallable. There is no
logical Qualification for extras" for OFF,
cials. II the Speaker should have an au-
tomobile maintained at public expense,
why not every individual Congressman?
It is extremely difficult for innocent by
ISLANDERS to believe. however. that Con-
gress intends to refuse this automobile
appropriation because it thinks It ought
to. as a matter Of principle. on the con-
trary, it smacks pungently Of the spiteful
II is a whack at Uncle Joe"-the indicated
chopping block Of the moment-and any
old thing that tends to embarrass or
harass Uncle Joe" is supposed TO make
big hit with the "peep-ul."
II Congress has found itself suddenly
possessed Of great zeal for economy" if
it thinks II must save Uncle Sans"
money at any and all cost, even to the
extent OF looking after the stray pennies.
why does not Congress deny itself its
mileage allowance as it now stands and
appropriate 10 itself only enough 20 cover
its actual travelling expenses going to
and from sessions? That would save
many times the $500 denied the Speaker
for an automobile. What good and sufi-
cient reason is there why Congress should
have an overplus Of travelling expense
if there is no reason why the Speaker
should have an automobile? The princi-
pie sustaining the one contention neces-
sarily must be exactly parallel with the
principle sustaining the other. Why does
not Congress deny itself wabbly sta
tlonery" items? Why does not Congress
prescribe that clerk" hire funds must
go to bona fide clerks" or go nowhere?
What becomes OF that righteous anti
automobile sentiment when our states
men come to consider their own little
side-graft Issues?
Congress will not be criticised for dis
allowing the Speakers automobile item
Why? Because that is right. But Congress
need hardly imagine It is going 10 fool
the American public into thinking it did
that because 1t was moved w..oHv. or IN
any great part. by lofty patriotism alone.

petty "rake-offs'' hereinbefore noted.

Safe and Sane Fourth.

Mayor Gaynor upheld the order Of Police
Commissioner Baker, and. the small boy
is correspondingly depressed. This Wig
orous step by the New York executive
will strengthen the hands Of other city
authorities where there has been pres
sure for the old carnival Of noise. Such
publications as the American Medical
Associations Journal take increased COM
fort and encouragement in the progress
made.
All over the country individuals and
civic bodies are preparing for the observ-
ance OF the Glorious Fourth" along
sane and rational lines The decided and
conspicuous example Of New York should
be token OF victory. especially in the
cities where a long step forward was
taken last year Washington Is In this
class. Noise and din are dear 70 the
hearts Of young America, but some sub
stitute should be found as a vent for the
exuberant patriotism. This is a task TO
which the sane portion OF the population
should promptly turn.
Chicago. under the auspices Of the Sane
Fourth Association. will hold a national
tournament Of the United States army
This soldier show viii be given in an
arena with the largest seating capacity
Of any outdoor place of amusement in
America. The central figure Of this
demonstration will be Gen. Frederick Dent
Grant, who will personally supervise the
encampment and tournament.
Humane civilization and patriotism can
go hand in hand, and the entire country
will be the gamer. other cities should
be watched for similar suggestions, and
these can be adapted to the varying needs
OF. the different cities. There need be no
weak imitation. but an assimilation Of
ideas which can be embodied in the plan
that meets the local requirements. Thus

The oId-fn.hioned woman.

From the Atchison Globe.
What caused your sudden blowing in?"
asked a veteran in Shade Land or j
woman who arrived yesterday. The wo-
man gave a sigh that blew over a tomb
stone as she replied: Il am an old-fash-
Toned woman. and I did my work in a
kitchen with a six-hole range. a big sink
three long tables, two pantries, and a
dishpan large enough TO wash a turkey
in TWO days ago ! went 10 visit my
daughter I'm "A big city and found her
cooking for her family IN a chatting dish,
doing her dishes in a washbOwl and
keeping them stored in the lower part
Of the washstand. When 7 saw her get
the bread out OF big bowl on the piano
called jardiniere, and reach for the but
ter out of the window, felt n cold chill
come over me, and then she made soup
by opening a tin can and pouring out a
mess 20 which she added water from the
wash pitcher. I knew no more" Then
the old-fashioned woman gave such a
sniff Of disgust that it blew all the Shades
over into the next county.
