was no conservation of the resources
of the treasury department.
What President Taft Did.
AS soon as President Taft took office
this system ceased. At the outset
President Taft impressed upon his
cabinet officials the absolute necessity
of economy and efficiency in their de-
partments. He admonished them that
not dollar beyond what was neces-
sary to run the government efficiently
In the departments, including a fair
margin for progress which is a part of
efficiency in the program of President
effect was immediate. Every depart
m ent began work at once to invesu-
gate it's own expenditures and to de-
wise ways and means of curtailing ex-
travagance. The result was that con-
gress received the lowest estimates it
had seen in years. This was followed
by a reduction in appropriations to
correspond, always allowing for the
d 8
activities, which represented net
saving to the taxpayers OF the coun-
try.
President Taft was not, however,
could be done. He realized that the
departments of the government, like
individuals, are naturally prone to be
proud of their own achievements and
by reason of their familiarity with
their own endeavors, often insisted
that their work was more important
than the work of the other depart
ments, relatively speaking, In order
to give him 100000 for commission
of disinterested experts to investigate
and report on the business of the gov
ernment with a view to further econ
omy and efficiency Thus came into
official being the commission of that
name.
This commission, among other du-
ties was directed to prepare the re-
ernment on budget" basis, which is
the system followed by practically all
the leading nations of the world ex-
cept the United States Under this
system 1t is possible for the humblest
citizen to analyze the finances of the
government at any time and to lay his
finger upon the responsible political
party in the event of extravaganza or
of stinginess. The system under
which appropriations for the govern
ment of the United States have been
made has even defied the experts in
their endeavors to unravel the tangled
skeins of expenditures, SO that It is
fair statement to say that no citizen
of this country up to the present time
has ever thoroughly understood where
his taxes were expended.
The economy and efficiency commits.
sion has already saved to the tax
payers Of the country more than $3,.
100000 annually by its suggestions
and by the time it has completed its
work 1t is believed ten times this
sum can be saved annually to the tax
payers. In the matter Of railroad fare
for government officials alone, It has
found that $12,000,000 was expended
In single year at the highest pre-
vailing railroad rates. At least a
fourth of this can be saved by the
application of business methods such
as President Taft has applied and has
insisted shall be applied to all the de-
partments of the government

NEWS FROM LEWISTON NORMAL

1t is always encouraging to know
that the efforts of our state educa-
tors to better conditions is being ap-
preciated-not only in the state but
out of it as Well-by those most ca
pable of judging. In an able editori-
al appearing in the March number of
Public Libraries" a monthly maga-
zine published in Chicago, the follow
iLg is said relative to the work of
President Black of the Lewiston
State Normal in his endeaVOr to
strengthen the school Libraries of
Idaho:
'To an onlooker, suddenly coming
upon the scene of library affairs
from some other sphere, the two
features which stand out most boldly
before his gaze are libraries aid
schools, and libraries and business.
Whatever else is taking place, it is
clear that here are two big main cur
rents of activity and they ramify in
many directions.
LAS Mrs. Wigs of the cabbage
patch has reminded US, We never
can tell where our pleasures are
coming from!' So the cooperation
of Libraries and schools over which
the Library section of the National
Education Association has long ex-
ercised itself is coming to pass, in
quarters unsuspected and always un-
foreseen! When the movement
whose consummation is devoutly hop
ed. assumes such shape that legisla-
ton affirms and appropriation sus-
tains it's existence, we may begin to
reckon with a growing reality and
prepare ourselves to see new plan
ct where before was only stardust. To
port of Mrs. Wigs contention, and
to suggest some of the ramifying
tributaries to main current number
one there is the new law in Idaho,
due largely, by the way, to the eff
forts of a school man, George FL.
Black, president of the Idaho state
normal school at Lewiston, which
sets aside three per cent of the
school money of any district to the
maintenance of a school library that
shall be under the supervision of the
teacher, who must be trained in the
elements of Library Economy"
In the same issue of Public Libra
ries" reference is made to Mrs. The
odore r. Brewitt, librarian of the
Lewiston Normal and the work she
is doing.
"To meet the conditions created
by the recent school laws of Idaho,
the Idaho state normal school issued,
as one of it's quarterly bulletins, in
1911, "School Libraries, organization
and administration, prepared by
Theodore r. Brewitt, librarian of the
school. This pamphlet supplies the
teacher with an excellent manual of
library economy, especially adapted
to h er purposes in organizing the
school library. A careful study of
it will enable her to pass the examin-I
atien in cataloging and the use Of
school Libraries now required of all
for second grade certifi-

FRANK A. DENHOLM.

Of this city, died in Phoenix Ari-
zona, the body being shipped to his
old home near Andover, South I,ako-
ia, for burial. He was man of fin
ished education and marked ability
having descended from an old oa0tch
family of record He was born in
Odell, Illinois, on September 3rd, 1882
but his parents soon moved to South
Dakota where he was reared. Hon
esty, integrity and high principle were
the characteristics of the family from
which he sprung and he was loved
and esteemed by the community in
which he lived. He was constant
reader of literature and student of
problems, but would occasionally dis
play poetic nature; he could almost
repeat Burns in Scottish accent. He
considered Victor Hugo as the king
of fiction and Shakespeare as the
master of human nature.
In early life he began search for
knowledge and was three and half
years in the State Normal at Madi-
son, South Dakota. After graduation
he determined upon the law as his
profession and took the course with
honors at the Vermillion State Uni
versity, s. D. He also attended the
University of North Dakota and was,
fer one year, student of the law
schools of st. Paul, Minnesota, and
studied at McAllister.
With a finished education, brill
liant mind and noble heart, he came
to Idaho to practice his profession,
but the long hours of constant study
seemed to have told upon his consti-
tuition and he was cut down in the
prime of his manhood.
His older brother, John J. Denholm,
came to Mountain Home lsat spring
and did all that he could for his COM
fort, but relief was only temporary.
He returned to South Dakota in No
vember, and on February 5th, was
married to Miss Teresa Stefflre, of
Sumpter, Minnesota, to whom he had
long been engaged, and they imme-
diately went to Phoeniz, Arizona in
search of health.
/ have known Frank A. Denholm,
intimately. 1t is said that we all
have faults, l have watched him to
find fault, but failed in my watch
ing. | never heard him swear an
oath, speak vulgar word, nor say
aught of his neighbors, and if every
man followed his example, this would
be a. world of happiness; heaven
would appear more glorious and trans
porting and purity, righteousness
and peace would flow down our
streets like river, distributing safe
ty, happiness and repose. He was
not much for creeds but loved the
Bible, believed in the divinity of
Christ and has gone to his heavenly
home.
His football is missed, his we'll
known voice is hushed and he has
gone to that better land to receive
the applause of angels and the hon

en- ! is life, and life forever, eternal

for a moment. What then must be

ricd of its enjoyment. Eternal life
is heaven epitomized.

out small, delicate, colorless tubes:
and these little tubes may form moro
spores; so that in a fresh manure pile
the spores may actually increase dur

die of; and hence old manure Is bet

= Permanent Cure For
Chronic Constipation

Although those may dispute it who
others, who speak from personal expert
ence. assert that there is a permanent
cure for chronic constipation. Some
fifty cents, years ago, and that the
trouble never came back on them, while
others admit they took several bottles
before steady cure was brought about.
The remedy referred to is DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin. It has been on
the market for over a quarter of a
century and has been popularized on it's
merits, by one person telling another
The fact that its strongest supporters
are women and elderly people-the ones
most persistently constipated-.makes it
certain that the claims regarding it as
permanent cure for constipation have
not been exaggerated.
It is not violent like cathartic pills,
salts or waters, but operates gently.
