FROM OTHER PENS
HAYWOOD DISOWNED.

In ousting William d. Haywood from
it's national executive committee the
/ Socialist party formally repudiates the
doctrines of violence and destruction
advocated by the leader of the Indus
trial Workers of the World. 1t must
be borne in mind that this result has
been effected not by the action of a
few men high in the organization, but
by 2 aation-wide vote of the dues
paving members of the party. 1t was
only a question of time when the two
elements would reach the parting OF
the ways. Between rational agitation
and revolutionary 1tics there was no
ground for compromise. As the So
cialists have gained in political strength
they have gained in sanity. Their eyes
have been opened to their RESPONSE
bilities by the progress they have made
and the prospect of future opportuni-
ties Henceforth the Socialist party
will stand as a radical political party.
1t has turned its back on the lawlees
faction led by Haywood and bid IT
goodby 1t has shown Its good sense
bv refusing to shelter and lend it's
name to leaders who were discredit
to it. 1t can now honestly appeal to
public opinion as a party that recog-
nizes the rules of orderly government
and rejects the theory chat the law
less shall gain power by intimidation
and terrorism.-New York World.
A BUDGET AN IMPERATIVE NEED
In the matter of a budget system,
which is the special theme of his final
message, Mr.. Taft has furnished the
incoming administration with a most
valuable document which doubtless will
be utilized as the basis of future leg
islation. 1t is in the highest degree
discreditable to US that we are the
only nation in the world which does
not use the budget system and which
drifts along in its expenditures with
ont plan or program" The suggestion
is so simple, so elementary a BUSH
ness proposition, that it is absolutely
amazing that our government has been
run for more than 125 years in a slip
shod, happy-go-lucky fashion that
would not be tolerated for week in
any well-regulated private household,
much less in the most ordinary bust
ness enterprise. The adoption of the
budget system cannot be delayed any
longer. and it's importance is empha-
sized by the recent disgraceful exhi-
bition of congressional graft and greed.
1t will not only show the people of
the country at the beginning of every
session of congress where they stand
in the matter of necessary expendi-
lures, but will serve as a wholesome
check on INSCRIPTIONS congressional
vagance.-Baltimore Sun.
