AMERICAN NECESSITIES

Dp. r. H. Boyd, who has been on a
trip 10 Panama and the Canal Zone,
relates an incident which shows that
carrying American civilization around
the world the Caucasian American
has three things which he always car
ries with him-religion, strong drink
and race prejudice. "Stepping back
to the depot, we met. one sight that
seemed to be familiar in the Southern
states, and that was four plainly-Writ-
ten signs put up in large gold letters
as follows: For white men, for white
women only. For colored men, for
colored women only Here we
stopped and wondered Getting in
conversation with an old gentleman
standing by the side of the depot, we
asked him how long he had lived in
Colon; he said forty years. We asked
him the meaning of the sign; he asked
us, where we were from, and we told
him from the States. 'Ah!' said he,
you ought not to be stranger to this
sign. Did you not KNOW he said,
that the American Caucasians are
very religious and wherever they go
they carry Protestant religion, whis.
key and beer, and race prejudice:
These three things must always fol.
low the American Caucasian, and he
plants them in whatever land he en-
ters. Protestant religion, strong
drink and race prejudice are the three
things that the American white man
must have" ..

Had the Titantic on it's first and last

have been nothing but words of praise
in the mouths of every one who was
in any way connected with the ship

DENVER, Colo, Oct. "a claim
against the estate of Aretas l. Agnew,
principal owner of the Columbia OPP

automobile accident August 6, filed in
the county court here, discloses a
contract between Agnew and a wo-

ECONOMY AND EFFICIENCY.

The normal and logical question
which ought to be asked and answer
ed in determining whether an admin
istratiQn should be continued in power
is: How has the government been ad-
ministered? Has it been economical
and efficient? Has 1t aided or OBJ
structed business prosperity? Has it
made for progress in lettering the
condition of the people and especially
Of the wage Garner? Ought its gen
eral policies to approve themselves to
the people?
During this administration we have
given special attention to the machin-
cry Of government with view to in
creasing its efficiency and reducing
its cost. For 20 years there has been
continuous expansion in every di-
rection of the governmental functions
and a necessary increase in the civil
and military servants by which these
functions are performed. The expen-
ditures of the government have norm
ally increased from year to year on
an average of nearly per cent.
There never has been a systematic
investigation and reorganization OF
this governmental structure with a
view to eliminating Implications, to
uniting bureaus where union Is pos
sible and more effective, and TO max
ing the whole organization more COM
pact and its parts more closely CO.
ordinated. AS beginning, we exam
med closely the estimates. These,
unless watched, grow from year TO
year under the natural tendency OF
the bureau chiefs. The first esti-
mates which were presented to us we
cut some $50, 900, 900. and this policy
we have maintained through the adj
ministration and have prevented the
normal annual increase in govern
ment expenditures, so the result is
that the deficit of s5S,73500o, which
we found on the 1st of July, 1909, was
changed on the 1st OF July, 1910, by
increase of the revenues under the
Payne law. including the corporation
tax, to a surplus CT sf5,S06,o00 on
July /, 1911, to surplus of SAT, Pa
coo, and on July /, 1912. TO surplus
of s3s.336,oo0. The expenditures for
