Washington. Jan. 17.-How the
people of the United States may be
saved for the millions of dollars an
nually in the operation of their gov
ernmental machinery was outlined by
President Taft today in a message to
congress on economy and Efficiency
in the government service.
What the government does with
nearly $1,000. 100000 each year, ="
said the President, is as of as much
concern to the average citizen as is
the manner of obtaining this amount
of money for the public use
DO Away with Politics.
Probably the most radical proposal
advanced by the President in today's
message was that all administrative
officers of the government in the de-
partments at Washington and in the
field be put under the civil servie;
be removed from the influence of
politics and that their terms of office
be not limited as at present to four
years. Such officers should not be
appointed by the President with the
necessity of senate confirmation, he
said. but upon merit. The extension
of the merit system to these officers
and needed read jutsment of salar-
les" said he, will have important
effects in securing greater economy
and efficiency. The view that these
various officers are to be filled as a
result of political consideration has
for its consequence the necessity that
the President and members of con-
gress devote to matters of patronage
time which they should devote to
questions of policy and administra-
ton

THE WHITE SLAVE
INHUMANITY EXPOSED

Not the least of the events in our
city Sunday was the meeting on
the saloon and the white slave
traffic. Mrs. Emma Perry, repre-
sentative of the Lebanon Rescue
Home, of Seattle, gave a stirring
address before large audience in
the Congregational church. By
awful facts she warned fathers and
mothers of the wreck and ruin that
threatened both sons and daughters
by the saloon and the brothel.
There may have been a time when
some excuse night be found for the
saloon and some apology might be
given for the tipping habit, but
that time is now past. The saloon
hell incprnate, and the painted girl
whose steps take hold are hell"
are now too we'll known to get any
apology except from those whose
greed or lust has corrupted their
souls and blinded their eyes. Woe
to the mother who does not know
where her daughter goes. and null
tiplied woe turks in the track of the
girl who allows herself to be found
on the street with the young man
who will not 20 with her into her
mothers home or church.
Mrs. Perry's language was chaste
ana can be criticised only by the
guilty. Girls, beware of the ire
sponsible young man, and young
men, think too much Of yourselves
to be seen in questionable company
either of boys or girls.
Rev. Orr emphasized what Mrs.
Perry said and added that the man
who implies by word or act that
men can be less pure than women
is not only criminal but a fool.
He is corrupt and he reveals his
corruption. Such men are cor
ruptors of youth. Should be known
as such and should be Stunned like
deadly oison.---Contributed.
