is GETTING RESULTS
Presidents Attitude Toward Gov
ernment Expenditures.
Already the Good Effect of His Watch
fulness is Apparent-Economy
Has Been insisted on and Re-
sponsibil;ty Fixed.

President Taft, probably more than
any of his predecessors, realizes what
an immense and complicated business
the government of the United States
is. And he has adopted the same at
titude toward 1t he would take If 1t
belonged to a great corporation and
he were the president of the COM
pany.
Mr. Taft is finding out where the
immense sums Of money required for
government purposes go and whether
proper equivalent is obtained by the
country. The work of departments
and bureaus which have run on for
years without challenge, is being ex-
amlned.
Great sums are being spent for ag-
ricultural stations. Are results OBJ
tanned which warrant the expendi-
turo? Is the country receiving dollar
for dollar in value in the work of such
bureaus as those Of the fisheries, the
various surveys, foresty, education
and labor? Is every dollar given for
the army and the navy used to good
advantage? Is the test of efficiency
enforced in all the administrative de-
par.ments?
The president is trying to find out
these things, and as fast as he gets
the information he acts on it. First
came his warning that he would veto
any rivers and harbors bill that car
ried appropriations merely for the po-
litical benefit of congressman. He has
ended the loose plan of separate esti-
mates from each department for the
budget.
For the first time in the history OF
the government the total of the esti-
mates for regular expenditures is
each year less than the appropriations
for the previous year. The post Of
flee department has been overhauled
and more economy and efficiency OBJ
tanned there. The secretary of the
navy is seeking the abolshment of
several useless navy yards. The clerks
In the government Offices are TO be
compelled TO perform a fair days
work for the salaries they receive.
Method is being introduced where
heretofore there has been very little
OF IL. Responsibility is being fixed
and insisted upon.
There is not much of the trumpet
call to the people in all this. but il
is good business Government is
merely business for the people, and
President Taft insists that # shall be
transacted in businessllke manner.
Il is highly important service he Is
rendering the country and deserving
OF the gratitude of the people. even
though he is going about IL without

President and Congress.

President Taft will be on hand prac-
tically the entire winter, not sitting on
the lid exactly, but waiting at the
window to see what the fellows down
the other end of the avenue are up to.
With the passing of the holidays the
legislators will get down to work, and
they will not mind the president re-
naming in the capital city to do a bit
of observing. He believes that the
country's representatives will feel com.
plant to the not overly strenuous
amount of legislation he asks of them,
and that the session will prove to be
entertaining, edifying and efficient.
Therefore, the president and con-
gross are alike In peaceful mood and
disposed to be merry, despite the
changes that elections bring about and
the cantankerousness of claimants
upon patronage The country enters
into the general placidlty Of the law
makers and the even-tempered chief
executive and will watch them in
brotherly accord doing the will OF the
people with a sense of unctuous salts

PROTECTION FOR HIS STATE
Attitude of senator-EIect Thornton of
Louisiana Is Most Significant
"Straw."

Here is another STRAW" showing
undertake to handle the tariff question
in congress. The Louisiana legisla-
ture elected Judge j. r. Thornton to
succeed the late United States Sena-
tor McEnery. OF course Judge Thorn
ton is a Democrat, as was his pre-
decessor. In his speech before the
legislature accepting the honor the
new senator-elect took occasion to ex-
plain his attitude on some public
questions. Among other things he said
he was irrevocably committed to
protective duty upon rice and sugar,
two important Louisiana products. AS
regards Louisiana interests, no Re
publican could be a SITTER protec-
zionist than Judge Thornton. And,
holding these views as to the neces-
sity of protection In his own locality,
with what consistency can he oppose
protection for the interests of other
sections? Judge Thornton is q type
of Democrat which must be reckoned
with in tariff legislation, and there
are more like him, the number grow
ing with especial rapidity in the
south, where it is seen that material
development depends very largely on
adequate tariff-duties. And this fact
makes the nut of satisfactory and har-
IF question all the harder to crack.

to shop. Then, your theaters, opera
and concerts are so wonderful In
fact. New York is one of the most
fascinating cities in the world 1t Ia
all life and color and impulse.
Logically, of course, Washington
should be the social center of the
country. 1t never will be, however.
for no city can take the honors away
from New York The atmosphere is
different, and social climate is as
hard to change as any other kind"
1t is stated that Baroness Hengel-
muller nearly fell down dead when
she saw this interview in the New
York papers and then saw 1t copied
into the Washington papers. Baroness
Hengelmuller is nothing if not con-
ventional. She lives by form and
rote, and to do anything out of the
regular is in her opinion to commit
crime.
She came back home in state of
nervous collapse, declared she never
said word of it and that Washington
is perfectly lovely.
Baroness Hengelmuller wears that
title in her own right, and both she
and the baron belong to the stern Aus
trian court circles; that is, the baron
does now. She was born into that
world of convention and rules, where
you could sit by the fireplace and burn
up before the servant next to you
would make an attempt to save you
unless that was his particular court
function.
The baroness was a widow when
she married Mr.. Ladislaus Hengelmul-
Ter Won Hengervar, and it never pleas
ed her at all that he was a plain
"Mr." She was never quite happy un-
til she secured her husband the en-
bassadorship from Austro-HungarV
and then few years ago she got
him created a baron.
