Noisy Economy

The miniature pruning knife
with whici> the democratic ma

play is again found in the report
of the Legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill. Re
alizing that a good way to make
a large sized noise is by abolish
ing salaried positions, the demo-
Gratis propose to drop the heads of
4O6 Washington office-holders in
to the refuse bag. The bill abol
ishes the coinage mints at San
Francisco, New Orleans and Car
son; and also the assay offices at
Boise, Charlotte, Deadwoo'd, Hell
ena, Seattle and Salt Lake. The
Court of Commerce also gets the
axe and a specific reduction OF
ten per cent is made in the War
Department. The total saving
affected by skimping some of the
most valuable work of the gov
ernment is $2,63s,ol5. This
amount is a mere bagatelle to the
vast sums squandered in playing
politics in the house, through
consuming months Of time in the
passage of tariff bills that even
their authors know can never be-
come laws; and the further great
waste of millions created by in
vestigations that have been abso-
lutely futile

casionaI free notices for an insti-
tuition known as the Philadelphia
School for Nurses, which claims
to represent the Order of the In
ternational Red Cross That Red
Cross business is what hooked
us on the free" proposition.
The institution in question ad-
vertiscs "Free Scholarships for
Nurses" and offers many other
inducements to young women to
enter. We are just in receipt of
a letter from DR.. w. S. Higbee,
president Of the Pennsylvania
State Board of Examiners for
Registration Of Nurses, in which
he gives the Philadelphia School
for Nurses a very unsatisfactory
rating, and says, among other
things:
"The graduates of this school
are not accepted by the American
National Red Cross Society, nor
the nursing corps of the army
and navy; they are not admitted
to the directory for nurses con-
nected with the College of Physi-
CLANS, Philadelphia, nor are they
recognized by the Pennsylvania
State Board of Examiners for
Registration of Nurses.
In view of this information, we
should advise all ambitious young
women who desire to take up
the noble profession of nursing
to steer clear of the Philadelphia
School for Nurses.

Legislation That Is "Ahead
the Times

Some brand new legislation,
strictly progressive, appears III
the postoffice bill as it has passed
the house. Pcstmasters are no
longer prevented from complain
ing of their grievances to mem
bers Of congress, the gag" rule
having been eliminated. The bill
attempted to smoke out some
of the interests supposed.to stand
behind the newspapers, maga-
zines and periodicals, by compell-
ing the publications to publish
the names Of their managing edi-
tors, and stockholders who own
more than $3.50 worth Of stock in
the enterprise. Mr.. Barnhart of
Indiana and Mr.. Allen. of Ohio
are responsible for these fea-
lures in the postoffne bill, and it
is also provided in the measure
that all ''paid reading matter" .ap
pearing in any publication must
be marked advertisement.
