Waste, Not Economy
1From the washington Post).

In view of the reduction of revenues
caused by the war in Europe, it is
held by some members of Congress
that the government should econo-
mize by Withholding appropriations
for river and harbor improvements.
The river and harbor appropriation
bill is now pending, and the argument
against its passage is appealing TO
members who have not studied the sit
uation.
The failure to make river and har-
Dor appropriations would be extrava-
gance, and not economy.
Throughout the United States are
projects under way, ranging from sur
veys to nearly completed works OF
great importance. Rains, floods and
the sea are never idle; they tear
down the works of man wherever they
can. Only the stoutest works of the
engineers, carefully planned, and
thoroughly executed can withstand
the elements.
The abandonment of these half-built
levees, dams. locks. revetmonts
dredgings, breakwaters and other inn
provements would mean throwing
away millions that have already been
spent. But it would mean more than
! that. It would mean the repetition OF
flood disasters the shoaling of har-
mors and rivers, and the stOppage oil
navigation and commerce in many
places.

There is no peace in sight tor these

keenly aware of that.
IF the issue Of British and German
commercialism is to be ended by this
war. there still remains for western
Europe, for all of Europe west Of the
Nieman and the Dneiper and north
of the Danube, the inevitable and
long-continued conflict with the Slavic
forces of that continent.
Whether that conflict is to be de-
cided in Poland and Roumania, in
Germany and Austria, on the banks ol
the Rhine, or on the coasts of the
North Sea and the Bay of Biscay, in
dustrial France and Belgium cannot
and will not have peace during the
years of preparation for or during the

Human life as well as property is
involved in this bill The work under
way to control floods in the Missis-
sippi and Ohio valleys is essentially
life-saving work which should not be
interrupted for any cause. 1t rises
above questions of economy, and as
sumes the proportions of a solemn ma
tional duty. No one forgets the ma
tions demand for instant action fol-
lowing the tremendous floods in the
Ohio River valley a few months ago. II
was a demand that Congress should
90 ahead. without regard to expense.
and do everything possible to safe
guard human life from the rage of The
floods.
The chief OF engineers Of the Uni
ted States army has very properly di-
rected attention to the urgent neces-
sity of continuing appropriations for
carrying forward the works now in
/ hand. He knows better than any 9TH
er person in the United States just
how extravagant and watchful ii
would be to suspend operations on
the mighty works under his charge.
Congress should economize where
IL can do so with safety and good re-
suits; but the abrupt breaking off of
great works for the conservation OF
human life and property is not econ
omy. It is extravaganza and waste.

the exact fact to say that, apart from

He is consistent. He is truthful,

Man is the only animal that be-

young the moment the latter utters
sound of distress. A hen will hasten
TO gather its distressed chickens un-
der her wings. But the latest mandate
Of the skilled physician to the mother
of the newborn infant is to "Let her
cry. Il is good for her lungs She
needs the exercise. Don't take her up
or YOU will get her in the habit of be-

A baby cries not because it wants
to cry but because something makes
