A MrsDEMEANoR TO EXCEED APPROPRIATIONS.

Hereafter it will be a misdemeanor for State
department or board commission to spend money
contract obligations in of the annual appro
priation Last year the total amount of this excess
was over $50 900 and it had to be provided in the
supplemental bill this year.
But, at the time, the Legislature in its
annual appropriations stop the practise of allow
ing to department board commission less than
the amount actually necessary, leaving to the next
Legislature to supply the deficiency. This has been
done year after year for the sake of keeping down
the total annual appropriations in order to get credit
for reasonable State budget
The practise stopped by the law encouraged
extravaganza AS long State officials knew that
any of expenditure would be taken care of in

Beef Raising in Canada

The Beef Cattle Breeders Associa-
ton of Prince Edward Island has
been formed through the efforts of
the islands provincial department of
agriculture. It's object is to encour-
age the breeding and improvement of
beef cattle. 1t is probable that the
association will supervise the inn
portation of registered Herefords,
Galloways, Polled Angus and Eng
fish Shorthorns, which breeds of beef
cattle have been found best suited to
Eastern Canada. Beef animals in
Prince Edward Island number $4,000
to $4,000, and are, if anything, de-
ereasing. While corn cannot be
grown successfully for fattening cat
tie, the peas, oats and turnips which
are plentiful and easily produced, are
said to be equally valuable in beef
making qualities. The number of
beef cattle in the Dominion of Canada
has gradually fallen from 1929 1916 in
1908 to 4,093,60 in 1912.-Consular Re-
port.

The confession by who attempted to estab-
fish alibi for the four gunner in New York just
prior to their execution that he had committed perjury
by his statement committed his act at the solicitation
of parties interested in cheating justice How deeply
the criminal lawyer was implicated in this crime will
probably be ascertained by the district attorney.

Becker would go fee his second trial. According
to the perjurers statement, II was with Becker's

SOME SAFEGUARDS FOR HUMAN LIFE.

In six months, if the Edge act for the protection
of all railroad grade crossings in New Jersey obeyed
the highways of the State will be reasonably safe
guarded for the travelling public. 1t is not improb-
able, though, that the railroads, following their
usual policy will get their attorneys to hang the law
up in the courts and keep it there.
The shame of it is that the hgh-salaried Public
Utility Commission since it created, although
vested with discretionary to order safeguards
crossings, has neither done ordered the abo-
litiOn of any.

kimono Sleeves for Men.

From the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
The National Association of Cloth
ing Designers seems to suffer from
the historic Authorization of the three
tailors of Tooley street in venturing
to decree what the men of America
will wear next fall. A very brief
glance at the freak apparel to be
provided will convince the vast ma
jority of American men that the N.
A. c. ID. has another guess coming.
Just as little cloth as possible; suits
that will cling as tight to the form
as the attire of the pony ballet" are
among the specifications. Neither the
fat man nor the thin man will well
con- a style like that They were
ne intended for the ballet. The
aNt..,Se man, too, likes comfortable
clothing, and is just as certain to re-
volt against suits that he has to be
poured into, But that is not all. The
oVercoat styles include "kimono
sleeves, loud checks and rough
weaves in horse blanket effects, with
straps in front for the arms to hang
through"
The evident purpose of the design
ers is to make man look like a fool,
just as the designers of feminine
fashions seems TO take delight in try
ing to make women look a fright.
