q good deal to say as to who gets

Tip me dollar and I'll see that
you'll have the choice Of lot Of the

The bargain was struck. About 10

hastily from the woodshed where he
was piling up fuel. as a scream
echoed out from the front porch.
There was his wife in a flutter OF
mingled excitement and delight,
standing over a neat baby carriage
which held a pretty, smiling little girl
about a year old.
"Oh, Cyrus!" gasped Mrs. Mum.
Look, just look! The loveliest little

E~CONOMY-NOT WAR TAXES

1t is estimated that the EuropeSn "a will reduce the customs
revenues of the United States $l0ONOUO. Instead of making up this
amount by the imposition of stamp taxes or other oppressive revenue
measures, congress would commend itself to the country by the prac-
tce Of economy, scaling down the national expenditures to mt the re
duced income. This would not be so difficult a problem as may appear
upon the surface. The pork barrel is a mighty good place to start
the appropriation slashing.
The rivers and harbors bill, as passed by the house, appropratc5
the enormou sui OF $55OOOO00 for many projects, some good and
others bad. The country would not suffer materially If practically all
nw work provided for in this bill were postponed and the amounts
allotted to other work underway reduced to the smallest III compatible
with the public service. There is little doubt that the gross amount.
OF the appropriation could be thus reduced at least halt The pubtr
grounds and buildings appropriations afford a still more inviting hell
for economy. The elimination Of the appropriation or a public bund-
ing in Podunk will have no serious practical effect, except perchance on
public service entities him to reelection it ought not tic lnJure wen
chat. The public grounds and buildings appropriations could be almost
entirely suspended for the ensuing two years with little public loss. The
balance of the $1O0m0UO0 deficit can be readily overcome by a judi
ciou application Of the pruning knife i'll other governmental depart
ments.
The Democratic national platform OF 1912 pledged the party to
economy in public expenditures. That pledge seems to ave been large
largely overlooked in the splendid constructive work OF the present COIL
gress. Now, with the European ar placing a unexpected and heavy
very live issue and the party pledge should be redeemed.

THE HOME MARKET

Worrying about how to get u products abroad without ships Is
proper enough as concerns certain kinds o. things w e have to sell. But
in som other directions the worry is quite unnecessary.
We import around two billions worth of all manner OF things amt
aly A large share of them come from countries at al. Already
the stress is felt. Those countries will not be able Ito keen sending u
supplies: we will have to hustle around and make German sausage
French wines, Belgian laces, anIine dyes and ten thousand other things
for or own consumption.
In other words, a bigger home market is instantly opened to te
enterprise OF Americans who will take the trouble to seek it.
The first thing is to look around and learn just what spec1al1es are
to be wanting because Of the war; then get ready to supply some
ne Of them.
Ii Americans should spread out to the extent of filling the big hoi
