Taunhauser sings of a more pass

arise and women flee from the hall.
The Knights turn upon Taunhauser
with drawn words but Elizabeth

his life be saved long enough for
him to repent.
The second act closes with Taun-

SELF RESTRAINT.

\ number Of countries have
copied our constitution with a
provision that the constitutional
guarantees may be suspended In
case OF necessity. We arc all
familiar with the result. The
guarantees of liberty, justice and
order have been forgotten. The
government is a dictatorship, and
the popular will Is expressed only
by revolution. Religion, the phi
losophy Of morals. the teaching
of history. the experience OF ev-
cry human life, point to the same
conClusiOn-that in the practical
conduct OF life the most difficult
and the most necessary virtue
Is self restraint. Ii Is needed
more by men acting In mass than
by individuals. because men i'm
the mass are more irresponsible
and difficult of control than in
dividuals. The makers OF our
constitution, wise and earnest
students of history and Of life,
d|iscerned the great truth that
self restraint is the supreme ne
c~cssity ana the supreme virtue
Of democracy. The people of the
United States have exercised
that virtue b. the establishment
Of rules o. action in what we
call the limitations OF the con.
stitutiOn. and until this day they
have rigidly observed these rules.

extravaganza. But il is too late to
protest.
The fourteen great appropriation
bills which suck this vast sum from
the treasury have been one by one
passed and signed. This stag
gering total is only reached when
the last of these bills has become
law. Then Congress and the coun-
try realizes il has been extravagant
again. But nothing can be done.
The horse has fled and it does no
good TO lock the barn door after
him.
Representatives Swager Sherley,
of Kentucky, has an appropriation.
plan which he believes will put an
end to this extravaganza, put which
will provide adequate government
revenues and expenditures. 1t is
the much talked about budget
system.
The budget provides at the be-
ginning of each session Congress
shall determine how much money
it can spend as a total. This figure
will be determined before a single
one of the appropriation bills are
drawn. The entire debate will be
on the total. After Congress, after
estimating its probable revenues
for the coming year. determines
upon the total expenditure, then
certain portions will be allotted to
each appropriation bill, and the
various appropriating committees
will be required to keep their esti.
mates within the amounts specified
for them.
The important thing in the plan
is that the country will know be.

to eXpend rather than after the ex,

is protest against the size of any
budget, Congress can scale dowr
on its estimates.
II is not necessary to go into the
details Of the plan as outlined in
a resolution which has been intro,

Congress is going to cost .hem
Under the present system the
amount to be appropriated is
usually in doubt until the closing
DAYS of each session..
The government of the United
States is the greatest business in
stitution in the world. Its annual
receipts and expenditures are over
81, 900, 900 900. Yet it is run ir
an unbusine S like manner. Each
department argues for increased ap,
preparations regardless of the need:
of other departments or of the

the most brilliant of the young
