ECONOMY in Expenditures.

Before close may | say a few
words upon two topics, much dis
cussed out of doors, upon which il is
highly important that our judgments
should be clear. definite, and stead
fast?
One of these is economy in govern
ment expenditures. The duty OF econ
omy is not debatabie. II is manifest
and imperative. In the appropria-
tons we pass we are spending the
money of the great people whose
servants we are--not our own. We
are trustees and responsible stewards
in the spending. The only thing de-
batable and upon which we should
he oarefl to make our thought and
purpose lear is the kind of economy
demanded of us. I assert with the
greates' confidence that the people
of the United States are not jealous

Tainted Money.

There are people In this world who
shrug their shoulders and comment
In tones of scorn about tainted mon
ey. Because one of their fellow work
ers in the worlds vineyard has been
more fortunate, has accumulated
wealth. has won the title OF financial
king. is no reason why he should be
condemned. He may be envied, for
il IL the ruling characteristic Of the
unfortunate TO be envious OF those
who have succeeded.
THIS question Of tainted money
dhCssld be sensibly understood and
appreciated. II is an improper title
given the earnings of deserving men.
Rsdical meansm ay have at times been
employed. and some may have their
own opinion OF the business meth
DDS used, but when we consider the
yass sood being accomplished by

the two great men who control this
money, or a large part of it, we
should be more lenient in ourviews.
Last week a modest announcement
was made by the Rockefeller lnsti-
tute of Nedical-Research that a
serum had been discovered for the pre-
vention and cure of pneumonia.
Here is an institute supported by
the millions of financial king, mil
Ions devoted to the steady research
of means for preventing and curing
disease.
At this institute the best and bright
est men ofscience devote the days and
nights to study, just as the study of
cancer ami tuberculosis is being
pushed.
Here is another instance of how
science is slowly but surely succeed
ing in it's fight with disease.
There was time when smallpox
and yellow fever, when malaria and
typhoid were dreaded contagious. To-
day they can be successfully con-
trolled.
The antipneumococcus serum is no
experiment.. 1t is an assured and
tested fact. At the Rockefeller In
sttute of Medical Research, when a
discovery is made it is never an
nounced to the world until it has
been thoroughly tested. 1t is said
that the serum was discovered almost
a year ago, but it has been continual
ly tested, so that there could be no
possible doubt as to its efficiency
before public announcement was made
Here is another instance where a
rich mans millions, his tainted mon
|ey," has resulted in discovery whic
will no doubt save thousands OF
lives each year. One by noe the
dreaded diseases of man, are being
conquered. The crusade could never
continue but for the endow ments of
men like Rockefeller.

The Earths Unrest.

Another devastating earthquake has
wrought ruin in Japan. The unfortun-
ate land of the miksi1o seems to be
under tn ban of Natures displeas-
ure. Less than a year ago the first
volcanic eruption brought with it
great loss of life and the destruction
Of many towns. Scarcely had the de-
tails of this terrible event circled the
globe when there followed the news
of another volcanic disaster even
more fatal to the interests of the
island people.
Since then other eruptions among
the islands have left black 4'ecol)l
Of ruin.
Last week the north Of Japan was
visited by an earthquake which left in
ruins many towns, which left the
farm lands unfarmable and left the
peasants in a helpless and homeless
condition.
The volcano and the earthquake are
not usually connected in the direct
relation of cause and effect, but
there is good reason to believe that
they have a common origin. AT all
events, volcanic eruptions and earth
auakes very often go together, even
through their respective manifesto
tions many occur very far apart in
space.
The earth seems dissatisfied in the
Orient. A tidal wave two weeks ago
swept Russian seas and a Heath roll
Of over 1000 was Left behinll. In
Manchuria similar disturbances have
caused a dreadful loss of life and an
almost endless destruction of prop
sty.
The earth is seldom at rest. Since
the earthquake at San Francisco this
country has been practically free
from such disturbances. An OCCASION
al shock is felt, but no damage ac-
companies it and we are free from
other volcanic disturbances. Where
the crust of the earth is, as one may
say, unstable there are likely to be
volcanoes. 1t is curious to note the
Linear line dotted out by the volcan-
oss which line the basin of the Pa
Gifts. The huge expanse is girdled Is
a great belt of these vent holes, and
this belt comedies, for the most part,
with band of seismic disturbance
which more or less, Internationally
comes into play.
There are now reported "a active
volcanoes in this death belt and the
future will tell its own story.
No part of the world is immune
from disaster. 1t may come i'm vary
ing forms. 1t may happen on the sea,
as in the case of the Titantic; 1t may
be causof by floods or tidal waves.
No man can say what cruel form Ma
tune ma" adopt to express her wrath.
Japan is suffering to-day, but no
one can say which country will next
feel the weight of adversely.
