Political Possibilities,

ing of Progressives to President VIII
son among the political possibilities
of the text two years? In connection
with this possibility another thought
suggests itself:
Has not President Wilson a great
opportunity in this situation to gain
useful, and not %unneeded, recruits by
somewhat broadening his position and
attitude-by becoming somewhat less
the leader of a partisan organization
and somewhat more the representative
Of all voters who cherish the wider and
newer thought Of governmental activi-
ties. duties and responsibilities? Mr..
Wilson stands for that thought in the
Democracy. Could he not, and should
he not, welcome the P~rogressives as a
great body Of voters available to sup
port policies on which he and they are
SO largely in agreement?

e war conditions sometimes give
rude shocks to the professional soldier
trained to arms in the well-ordered
days OF peace. Here is a case in point.
A Prussian landwehr company was
being mustered into service and there
were many things to be done. Uni
forms, equipment, rifles, were to be
distributed, rolls prepared, reports
made out, and quartermaster's lists
checked up. The captain had his hands
full. He ordered his first sergeant
to find a noncom, who could write
neatly and figure a little. The first
sergeant was equal to the emergency.
Corporal Kammermeyer was prompt
ly summoned and crisply detailed for
duty as company clerk. The corporal
reported to the captain, who looked
MIN over with q mixture Of wonder
and distrust.
so you can figure, corporal he
said.
"A little, sir, at your service"
The captain still looked dubious.
What is your trade in civil life,
anyway" he said.
II am professor Of mathematics,

HARD TO RETRENCH
Problem That Confronts the Ad.
miniStration.
situation Created by Years Of Repub.
"ean MIsruIe Can Not Easily Be
met-What Economy Might
Have Accomplished.

we may as well recognize now as al
any time that retrenchment IA the
hardest thing a government can ac.
complish. Economy is easy compared
with retrenchment. They are not in
the larger sense synonymous terms,
ny any means. Economy might have
been practiced In the building up Of
the pension system, but 1t was not: re-
trenchment would be to go back over
the Job and make 1t right by purginR
the rolls and getting the fingers of
frauds and takers out Of the treasury,
n giving the governments bounty to
the deserving only. but any suggestion
OF that character would never be &C.
ceptable to the Republicans.
Economy might have kept a world
or unnecessary and indefensible ex-
penses out Of congress, but retrench.
mentw would be to go back and abolish
extravagance. free seeds, mileage
graft, abuse Of the ranking privilege
and others of minor character. But
no Republican would listen to such q
proposition.
ECONOMY might have prevented the
packing OF the executive departments
with clumsy administrative systems
which necessitate the employment of
thousands Of clerks that are not really
essential to the public service; re-
trenchment would mean to install com.
nonsense business methods, minus
red tape. and dispense with the serv.
Ices Of unneeded employees. No Re-
publican would ever consent to that.
The Republican wants his public
buildings or his river appropriations
just as the Democrats do, and he will
raise sand unless he gets them.
All this being true, and it likewise
being true that the business of the
government continues to grow as the
population grows. as the business and
industry Of the country grow, naturally
the governments expense will grow.
II the government we're not extrava.
CANT In any respect. il its financial
operations were exactly right, every
year would mark some increase of the
appropriations. because as the country
develops and the population increases
the governmental machinery will have
to increase. Therefore a slight in
crease of expense from year to year is
not Objectionable.
What Is Objectionable are the top
heavy systems. the pension abuses and
the numerous other extravagances
which the Republicans have installed
and for which the Democratic admins
tration must now provide because 1t
cannot at a single blow dispense With
them.

FROM a BUSINESS STANDPOINT

FROM A BUSINESS STANDPOINT
By REV. JOSEPH HENRY CROKER,
Let US see how the liquor trade
works out as a business proposition in
, small village Of 5000 people Count
Ing the tributary country folk), with
four saloons. As the average per CAP.
lta expenditure for drink In the United
States is over twenty dollars a year,
on that basis this village would spend
100000 annually for liquor. But, to be
conservative, we will cut this in two
and make It $4,000. That sum, very
large for so small q community. we
may set down a. the charge against
the saloons. The business gains from
them are practically as follows: For
licenses. $1,000 $3.50 being the aver
age village feel; for rent (the keepers
living above their bar-rooms), 32,50O;
Tor household expenses Of four fami.
lies, $4,000 q very high estimate);
making $500 the amount of money
which the business spends In the town
"a very liberal calculation. That is,
for every four dollars paid over the
bar. only n comes back to the hnan.
cial interests Of the community. An
outgo OF four dollars and income Of
mi dollar. Surely. not much profit In
that!
Or to put the matter In another way:
For every four dollars that goes into
any one Of those saloons, three dollars
never comes out again to do business In
that town; the grocer on n side loses
. dollars trade. the market on the 9th.
er side loses a dollars trade. and the
merchant across the street also loses
. dollars trade for every hour through
out the year!
