Taft's Economy Record.

The country will be forced to listen to
many specious arguments and state.
ments from each of the three parties in
the course of the campaign, for no one
party has a monopoly of political faults
any more than--despite the colonel
there is a monopoly of the virtues. But
among all the arguments to be made,
none, taken by itself, will be sounder
OF better based than the claim put for
ward by Mr.. Iiilles upon Mr.. Taft's
economy record" Unfortunately, this
il not a thing which commands the popu-
lar interest it deserves; but it is a
thing which touches us all, since the gov
eminent can be run only by the pay
ment of taxes, and since taxes are at
least one factor in the cost of living
Many of Mr.. Taft's accomplishments
are open to argument and dispute, but
there is no question Of his having re.
duced the cost of running the govern
ment, for the figures are there to prove
it. This is the more of an accomplish
ment when it is remembered that for
many years the national budget has only
been increasing annually. Reduction has
only been brought about by firm insist
ence upon Mr. Taft's part in dealing
with his subordinates that, without re-
ducing the efficiency of the government
service, waste and extravaganza must
be progressively done away with.
The $l9l 100000 by which the annual
expenses of the government were in
creased under Mr.. Roosevelt came out of
the peoples pockets; the ssO00000 by
which, in spite OF further growth of
operations. the expenses have been re-
duced under Mr.. Taft will find their
way back to the peoples pockets, UNI
less this administration is succeeded by
one more intent on noise than on per-
Torrance. In spite of the scant en-
couragemsnt which he received from the
Democratic leaders in the House. there
is at least one thing in Mr.. Taft's rec
ord which Gov. Wilson, if elected in No |
vember. can profitably study and emu
late, and that is Mr.. Taft's painstaking, |
laborious care to reduce the national ex-i
pcnses and to put the operations of the
government as nearly as possible on
business basis. 1t has been wise as |
matter of public policy, and in an era
of general extravaganza, private as we'll
ss public, il has been valuable ex-

JINGLES AND JESTS
The Man of Taste.

There is suggestion of the revival
of old fashions in mems dress, which
leads some people to think that rufiies
and laces may be seen again.
Too long has man been content to dwell
A dingy and dowdy thing
Except when Percy, the "half-hose'
swell
Heralds the hues of spring..
No more does he dread to appear gro
tesque,
In trappings of silk and lace,
He's having try at the picturesque,
And shy at ancestral grace.
The pointed beard i'll Velasquez style
Shall cover the shower cheek,
His head shall be crowned by velvet
tile
That's nothing if not antique.
And full tail coats of Georgian cut,
Ruffled and frilled and laced,
Will shine on the utterly stylish nut"
In the new-Georgian taste.
