The Way of True Economy.

There is a marked difference between
the method OF economy which the Presi-
dent points out TO Congress in his special
message and that which is pursued by
the appropriations committees, especially
that of the House. in dealing with de-
partmental expenditures. The one is
based upon most careful and scientific
investigation of the conditions in the
executive branch OF the government and
looks to the establishment of a more
consistent and businesslike plan of opera
ton. The other Is a haphazard, cheese
pairing process which saves a little money
but hampers the public service by a
lack OF consistency and failure to adhere
to a definite principle.
The Presidents recommendations are
specific and are clearly I'm the interest
of not only more economical but more
efficient service. They are the result of
many months of painstaking study. and it
is inconceivable that they should be is
nored or neglected by Congress. The
estimate of 100000 of annual saving Is
not too high This saving can be ac-
complished without in the least degree
lessening the scope or character of the
governments work. On the contrary. it

Tree Planting in Boston.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
A comprehensive statement has been
made of what is about to be done in the
way of provision for city tree planting.
municipal interest that has been too
long neglected. especially along our resi-
dental streets and boulevards. While an
appropriation of $4,000 is not a large
sum for this purpose, it will make good
beginning If wisely applied and regularly
followed up. Half of the amount is for
maintenance of trees already in the
ground and the remainder for the ex-
tension of arboreal development. the sec
lions contemplated as present beneficial
ries being along fremont street and Co.
lumbus and Huntington avenues. We
have been poor in city tree growths.
The Arnold Arboretum has worldwide
fame for the wealth and comprehensive
variety of its tree and shrub life, and 1t
might be supposed that with such an
example municipal activity would have
been stimulated along the line of tree
extension throughout the city. The need
is now being practically recognized, and
though years must elapse before results
will be very conspicuous, it is something
to be thankful for that we are on the
right track. We are not imposing any
permanent burden upon the city even to
the extent of the comparatively small
amount that is to be provided, because
trees add to the assessable value of real
estate, and we are really making an in
vestment that will return good interest
even in dollars and cents.

Aviation in 1912.

What will this year bring forth in avia-
ton? Will any material advance be made
toward the development of the practical
BILE heavier-than-air machine capable of
making reliable. rapid flights over long
distances? Save for the fact that ma
chimes occasionally carry several pas
sengers, there is really very little gain
toward the goal of commercializing the
airplane. Most of the public demonstra-
tons of the soaring machines are of a
highly dangerous character and are not
calculated to encourage public confidence
transportation. Thus far the only prac-
teal object gained has been the devel-
opment of the airplane as a military
auxiliary. In that field much has been
accomplished. and it is quite possible that
through the work of the military aviators
some definite advance will be made to-
ward the utilization of this device for
commercial transport. 1t is evident that
much remains to be learned about the
conditions Of the air. Most of the ex-
perimental flying has been undertaken in
comparatively calm weather, and the air
plane has yet to be put through its PAGES
in high winds with any degree of sue
cess few flights have been accom-
plished in difficult circumstances, but not
with elaboration. The real test of air
plane management and endurance is yet

Citizens, and Would-Be Citizens.

There is a legitimate smile in the story
Of the replies made by Sicilian cam
ddate for American citizenship to in
terrogatories by Brooklyn judge. The
man had heard so much of Mr.. Roosevelt,
de had come to regard him as the whole
American shooting match-President of
the United States, Governor of New
York. mayor of New York city. and Con-
sress all in one. The candidate was
elected. and will now have a chance. and
an inspiration, to enlarge his knowledge
about his adopted country. Probably the
Judge thought that a stake in the game
would make the man the more Industrious
as a student.
How rapidly candidates for citizenship
are passed is an old story, sometimes
carrying smile. sometimes a sigh. Citi-
Zens are made while you wait. \ few in
quiries. partly to the point and partly
not. are fired at a line of men as their
names are called; answers. partly to the
point and partly not. are given. and the
ballot is placed in the hands of many
who not only know nothing about its
value or responsibility. but make no prep
arations to inform themselves. After
their hats have been chalked for the
ballot box, they go their way without
thought except as to a few names. Noise
attracts and holds them. The loudest
horn or drum secures their attention.
But the smile is not altogether at the
expense of the foreign born, anxious to
take place in the land of opportunity
Many native born know too little
about their country and its governmental
divisions and operations. Let any citizen
of reading and reflection lend ear to the
average discourse about political matters
held in hotel Hobbies, or on street cars,
or at the curbstone. where conversation is
informal and frank, and he will dis
cover how far a mere name will carry,
and how little more than names is known.
Is Mr.. rs name for the time up? He
may be a real student of nothing. He
may be simply quick, keen man, ready
of speech, insinuating of address, hand
some of person and good all-around
mixer. But presently men begin to take
all their bearings from him. They quote
him about politics. law, sociology, edu-
cation and even religion. What he says
and the more he is needed the more vofu-
BILE he beeomes-passes among his fol-
lowers as wisdom beyond compare.
Let us not be too merry at the expense
of our Sicilian friend, but wish him
progress. He is not as lonesome as he
looks 1t is easy to concede that his pres
ent qualifications for citizenship are poor;
that he has heard but few American
names. and the name of Roosevelt has
come TO dominate all. Should we begin to
weed out men of such limited vision
about American personalities and their
Importance from our citizenship, the poll
ing list before We got through would be
greatly reduced.

The Cleanup Committee.

At today's meeting of the cleanup
week" committee the actual preparations
for the six-day campaign beginning
April - will be begun under the most
promising auspices. The committee has
been organized carefully. SO as to include
ali possible agencies of public represen-
tation and official activity. and it will
doubtless start on the undertaking with
vigor and determination. There are
many points to be considered in this
enterprise Practical questions arise,
such as the most economical and efficient
method of dispOsing of the refuse that
is collected during the week, and the
adoption of the surest means to bring to
light every accumulation of dirt. Further
more. il Is to be borne in mind that this

tions TO perform as well. The people

pIished. But most of all il is hoped to

responsibility, and that it is of i'm

nentiy clean premises to insist upon a

this cleanup week chiefly means is that

a more perfect coordination of parts,
a more b,lsinesslike transaction in. every
respect.
Economy by the pruning of estimates is
a poor way TO save money. The estimates
are framed by those who are intimately
acquainted with the needs OF the service
and represent the actual requirements and
the opportunities for Improvement. 1t is
supposed that the executive officers who
prepare and submit them are as keenly
interested in the welfare of the govern
ment as those who frame the bills them
selves. OF course, under the American
system these estimates, coming from vari-
Gus sources. may be in the aggregate in
excess of the total amount which Con-
gress is disposed to spend in the upkeep
of the administrative departments, and
in such cases some curtailments are nee
essary. In theory the executive officials
are consulted in these reductions in the
course of the hearings given by the APP
preparations committees, but in fact this
is a defensive process on the part OF
the executive officials rather than
true consultation. The committees prac-
tically say to the heads of the executive
departments and their subordinates: I'VE
are going to cut these items; have you
anything to say about it,
1t is, of course, quite possible that
even with the recommendations Of the
President adopted there would still be
disposition to prune and pare the esti-
mates on the part of the committees and
the houses. But that does not lessen the
Importance of proceeding without further
delay to reorganize along the lines of
the Presidents suggestions. The govern
ment's departments and bureaus have
developed without the guidance OF any
central principle during many years.
There is no established type, and the
assignments of duties have been gov
erned by immediate circumstances rather
than any definite policy. The consequence
is a scattering of duties, multiplication
of offices and resultant waste of time
and labor and money. y real economy
could and should be Immediately effected
by following out the proposals which have
now been laid before Congress.

Mr.. La Toilette Again on Tour.

Mr.. La Toilette is off on another stump
ing tour. His first engagements are in
Nebraska, and others are in oregon. Evil
IDENTIFY he means to stick. Not even the
big stick can brighten him off the track.
The Wisconsin senator plays politics
with theatrical sense of things. When
young he thought of the stage as a pro-
fessiop, and changed his purpose only
because of his stature He lacked the
inches essential to tragedy. An under
sized Hamlet, or Othello, or Richie
lieu would not satisfy the public. So
he cut out the stage. and went into
politics, where little giants had worked
we'll. He probably thought of Douglas.
But his stage musings evidently gave
him an insight into stage management
and an idea or two about setting scenes.
Observe how we'll he has set this scene.
The other day North Dakota voted for
him as against Mr.. Roosevelt. There was
contest, and Mr.. Roosevelt was laid
out cold as a wedge. The farmers, who
had turned against Mr.. Taft on account
of Canadian reciprocity. turned to Mr..
La Toilette, who had opposed reciprocity.
Mr.. Roosevelt had favored reciprocity.
On Tuesday Wisconsin voted for Mr..
La Toilette as against Mr.. Taft. The
contest was on the general proposition
of progressiveness, Mr.. La Toilette taking
the ground that Mr.. Taft was not pro-
gressive at all. and that he was the gen.
uine article. On primary showdown he
had everything his own way. Mr.. Taft's
support was comparatively small.
With these two triumphs fresh in the
minds of the people. Mr.. La Toilette will
-,
drums will ROLL and, behold, the con-
quering hero will stand before expectant
audiences. This is the man who has
been doing things elsewhere. and wants
to continue his activities. A good play,
and according to the law of the foot
lights
In Nebraska the Badger statesman will
be in the atmosphere of progressive
ness much Influenced by Mr.. Bryan; and
of all the republican leaders he is most
praised by Mr.. Bryan. The claims of
progressiveness for Mr.. Taft and for Mr..
Roosevelt Mr.. Bryan rejects. but he ap-
plauds those made for Mr.. La Toilette.
They strike him very favorably. Will
this approval help Mr.. La Toilette in
Mr.. Bryan's state? Will the republicans
there be impressed with the Bryan hall
mark, and give their support to the man
of his choice?
There can be no reasonable doubt of
the sincerity of Mr.. Bryan's opinion 1t
is not likely that he is booming Mr.. La
Toilette in left-handed fashion, in the
hope of helping the opposition to a can
didate he considers weak. He and the
Wisconsin senator think alike about
many things. and are much nearer each
other than Mr.. Bryan is to Judge Har-
mon. or Mr.. La Toilette to Mr.. Taft.
Praise of Mr.. La Toilette by Mr.. Bryan,
or of Mr.. Bryan by Mr.. La Toilette,
rings true

CARELESS Of stops, breakages or weather

no particular value in determining the
