Keeping Down Public Expenses

stop reckless expenses" is cry that
has greeted probably every administra-
ton that has Just come into office in
American state or municip lty. The de.
mand for economy is one of the phouo-
graphic shoutings Of campaigns and there
citizens in every community whose desire
for public economy is so sustaining that
they demand it at other times than those
Of political excitement.
Unfortunately, every pleading for econ
envy comes in conflict with at least two
energetic and enthusiastic movements
for expenditures. And usually the louder
force wins. For it is more difficult for
any administration to withstand critl-
cisms as TO failure to make improve
menlS, hasten to the rescue of sections IN
trouble OF discomfort and to keep public
property in repair and in harmony with
growing needs than il is TO withstand
criticisms as to dipping too freely into the
public purse. No American community
has come within sight of the end Of pub
lie undertakings requiring much money,
and probably that vision will not be
vouchsafed for long time to come
More money" is a louder cry than
Stop reckless expenditures.
Keeping down expenses IS the mOs'
vexatous of labors. and il is easy to see
why many public officers give the task NC
and let costs fall how they may. Never
theIess, the demand for economy will
have to be met For there must be z
| dav Of reckoning for the vast accumula.
| ton of bonds for whI,h the republic i:
made responsible. Probably few year:
| hence all expenditures will have to be
set forth as budgets, and as thew are
voted will be strictly adhered to.-Toledc

Did Not Go Far Enough.

II has developed that the bill which
was prepared by the Frederick County
Farmers Association, providing for the
repeal OF the act creating she Board oil
Charities and Correction. has not gone
far enough There are two acts relating
to the creation Of this board. and also
the law drawn for the abolition of the
board provides for the repeal of only one
act. Attorney Jacob Rohrback called
the attention OF the Board of County
Commissioners to the act. which will
probably be corrected by those who had
the preparation fthe bill in charge.

Insanity on the Increase.

The biennial report of the Board of
Managers of the Springfield State Hos
pital, at SykesviIle, shows that there
were in the institution October I, 1911.
500 males and 479 females, total Of
1913 patients
During the period there were admitted
4o4 males and 293 females, a total of 6o7
p tents. OF those discharged III have
recovered, n have improved and 2I4
died. There remainsd under treatment
on Octobar ISt, 1913, 735 males and SOL
females, total OF 1884 patients. The
total number under treatment was I,776.
The number OF admissions Is the larg-
est vet recorded, showing that the de-
mand upon the institution is greater than
ever before, and the burden upon the
taxpayers is also increasing. The ad
missions have been largely made up of
transfers from Bayyiew and the different
county Institutions of the chronic type oil
cases and those advanced in years.

wish.
The enthusiasm that has seized the
whole team is the thing that particu-
larly pleases Fred Clarke. He knows
well enough the strength of his club
if they once get well under way. Not
since winning their last pennant five
years ago have the Pirates had any
sort of a start. AS a rule, they get
started about the middle of the sea-
son and play the best ba,i in the
league, but their misfortunes at the
beginning hold them back. AS things
look at present, the Pirates will have
the rag in hand by August and finish
up in a blaze of glory. In a month
or two more, if their present clip con-
tinues, they will hit their real stride,
and nothing-not even John McGraw-
will be able to stop them.

Pittsburg, May 4:-The Pittsburg Pr
rates, for the first time in several
years, are starting the season in a
very speedy fashion. They have got
start such as would indicate an inten-
ton on their part of being present in
a body when the worlds champion
ship is disputed. All agree that the
Pirates, once well aimed in the gen.
eral direction of the pennant, are a
very hard bunch to turn aside. The
manner in which they have started
things this year is awakening fear in
the breasts of all other National league
managers.
Babe Adams is in far better form
than he has enjoyed for a long while.
Fred Clarke now regards Adams as a
regular winner and is depending on
him to cop every time he performs.

him famous and he declares that this
is going TO be his gala season. Clarke
is we'll satisfied with the prospects of
his pitching crew. Hans Wagner has
been frisking about the diamond like
child and he never showed better
stuff at bat. 1t will be several more
seasons before the critics can say that
Honus is hitting the slide. From his
manner of playing the game thus far
this season it would seem that he was
just breaking into the big show.
Mike Mowrey has been showing
great shape since Joining the Pirates
from the Cardinals. His behavior in
the region of third base has ELECTED
the most delightful comment from old
and young alike. Konetchy is known
to be one of the best first sackers in
the game, and Viox at second COM
pletes a wonderful infield. The out

once in ten years for the past half
Gentry, but the series OF observations
lust completed is the first attempt OF
comparisons of longitude between the
United States and France.
The longitudes of places in the
world were determined by astrono-
mical observations made long ago
The crude instruments and methods
employed allowed certain inaccura.
cies which it is new desired to elm
mate.
The observations taken at Paris and
Washington were the most important
ever made for number of reasons
One is that they have demonstrated
the possibilities of wireless tele-
graphy in the transmissions of OBJ
servation records for greater dis
lance than had been previously ac-
complished. The time lost in the
transmission Of messages recording
observations, which had to pass
through several stations, might easily
affect their accuracy. 1t is crafty

allowances for these inaccuracies
have been so reliable. for the results
of the observations Just computed in.
dictate that the longitude upon which
our time is based is practically cor
rect. Consequently, our time goes on
unchanged.
The idea of making the Paris and
Washington comparisons from ser.
les of simultaneous observations de-
veloped at the International Time
conference held in Paris in 1911.
Four sets Of apparatus exactly alike
were specially manufactured for the
purpose. A party of eight persons
was appointed to represent each ma
ton in taking observations and re-
cording them. Four members of each
party were in Arlington and four in
Paris during the time of observation
which began last November and end
cd in April. In order that full allow
ance might be made for personal DIFF
ferences in recording observations
each party was changed after the
