dent Shows How $10,00O,-
900 Annually Can be Saved

partrnents in Classified
Service Means Saving.

Washington, D. c., April 4.-Prest-
dent Taft today sent to congress his
second message of the present year
on economy and efficiency in the gov
eminent service. He recommended
the passage of legislation designed to
save more than $11,000,000 annually
to the people Of the United States.
Probably his two most striking pro-
posals were that the local government
offices in the treasury, postofice, JUS
'.ice, interior and commerce and labor
departments, be placed in the classl-
fed service and that the revenue cut
ter service be consolidated with the
lighthouse service in the department.
Of commerce and labor. #
By the first change the president
said congress could effect saving of
at least S10,O00,O0O annually and al
though in this message he gave no
figures for the consolidation of the
two services of the sea, in previous
message on the same subject early in
the year, he predicted economies that
would total about $1,000,000 yearly.
The president concluded his mes
sage with an appeal to congress to
appropriate the 100000 necessary to
support the economy efficiency COM
mission for another year with $4,000
additional for the publication of the
commissions findings. ,

The Kirklin case had progressed I'M
til yesterday afternoon when the coun-
sci for the defense took Bettiedine on
for cross examination. The antipathy
of the latter for the defendants coun-
sci got him "in bad" Asked II he had
been married before, he replied that It
was none Of the counseps business. A.
similar answer was made to a line Of
questioning regarding Bettiedine's
former marital affairs, all of which
the court made him reply to. Finally
the court asked him If he had wife
living in Assyria and when he
answered in the affirmative, Judge
Hunter Immediately ordered the jury
to find a verdict for Kirklin and then

1t is now well known that Roo

nothing less than the great
"Steel Trust" which is 4 more
powerful organization than the
Standare Oil. They are paying
Roosevelt's bills, paying postage
on his literature, hiring special
cars and automobiles and doing
everything that money can do to
insure his nomination. ROose-
welt himself is endeavOring to
create the impression that his
fight against Taft is the result of
pupular demand on the part of
the republican voters, for his
nomination, but that popular de-
mand is created entirely by the
enormous corruption fund of
millions which the Steel Trust
and Harvester Trusts are fur

these two great trusts unframed
when he prosecuted the other
trusts but he actually helped the
Steel Trust to swallow its only
rival and competitor, the Ten

That good school teachers in
Kentucky are a short crop is evil
denced from year to year. The
profession of teaching in the
country is far below what it was
twenty-five years ago. With all
the improved methods and the
stringent requirements of exam
nations, every fall we find teach.
ers trying to instruct the young
that themselves should be IN a
fifth or sixth grade class in a
country school. The school pub
lie is thus imposed upon from
year to year, and a large per
cent. of the States school fund
wasted. Every session of the
Legislature passes some law to
try to do away with such a class
of teachers, but the conditions
seem not to improve.
