THE EX-PRESIDENT'S WIFE AS
AUTHOR.

In an article entitled "Recollections
of Full Years." contributed to the May
number of the Delineator, Mrs Will
lam Howard Taft describes life in the
White House as first lady of the land.
The subject matter is, of course, in
teresting to nearly every American,
whatever Indifference he may feign.
Mrs. Taft has shown skill not only
in selecting her material but in the
handling of the episodes she narrates.
1t is, of course, necessary to speak
at some length of the previous oc-
cupants of the official home of the
presidents family, and the tact and
grace with which she does so will win
for her much commentator.

Positive Stake Rules

Through contribution of $4,000 by
the owners fund, it has now been
made possible to insure horsemen that
the futurity of 1914 will be run at the
race course of the Saratoga association
at Saratoga Springs, N. Y, as in 1918.
Under the present condition of racing,
the Saratoga association did not feel
justified in assuming the obligation
of adding the entire $4,000 called for by
the conditions, but the directors of
the owners fund have come to the res
cue and appropriated $4,000 of this
fund which with the $500 added by
the Saratoga association makes $4,000
to be added to this classical two-year-
old event.

A GOOD RECORD.

A careful consideration of the levy
as made by the board of county COM
for this year will impress
all fair-minded people that the pre-
sent board has been a conservative
one and also that they have been en-
deavoring to cut out all unnecessary
expenses. A study of their administ-
ration and of the sweeping reduction
they are making in the levies is or
should be excellent argument for the
return of tire two members wro are
seeking reelection. The election of
Mr.. Blair and Mr.. Mitchell undoubt-
eddy means that the economical plans
of the present board will be carried
out as far as is possible. 1t means
that the county affairs will receive
careful attention and that they will
be administered as cheaply as in con-
sistent with good government The
present attitude of the board ant
their past records bears out this as
sertion.-Payette Enterprise.

REDUCE WASTE AND
SPARE TAXPAYER
philadelphia Public Ledger.)

philadelphia Public Ledger)
In every one of the last four years
the United States government has adj
ded $4,000 names to the public pay
rolls. For every one of the past four
years there has been an average in
crease of $25,000,000 in the cost Of
governing the United States.
The most extravagant organization,
big or little, private on public, on the
American continent is the United
States government. When Tom Reed
was speaker of the house he had to
apologize for his party because it APP
propriated a billion dollars to carry
on the government for two years.
Now every congress is two billion
dollar congress because each year the
appropriations exceed one billion. 1t
is wastefulness run wild and all at
the public expense.
Now that Congress is hunting fol-
something to wipe out a deficit Of
$l00,000,000, why should not Congress
begin right at home and make up thi!
fund by its own economy Every
other institution in America, grea
and small, has been forced to econo
mize, so let the federal government DE-
likewise.
In proportion to waste, expense
can be reduced without imparing ser
vice; and since the federal govern
ment overtops all our institutions il
waste, it can without harm cut mos
deeply into expenditures. Already tn
people are taxed enough, and thei
burdens are this moment especial!
heavy.
So instead Of raising more money t,
squander with reckless hands, Con
gress should reduce government ex
penses to fit the present government
| income.

been made public. From these it ap-
pears that the various nations involv-
ed went to war for the following rea-
sons (acccpting each nations state
ment of its own easel:
Austria: Because Servia would not
permit Austrian officials to take part
in Investigations in Servia into the
responsibility of Servians for the muir
der OF the Austrian crown prince and

Servia: Because upon its refusal to
accede to this demand of Austria or
the ground that it would be sacrificing
its own sovereignty, and in spite of
its proposal to leave the matter to
arbitration, Austria attacked it.
Russia: Because Austria was max
ing war upon Servia.
Germany: Because Russia declined
to cease mobilizing its army-a mob

directed at itself as we'll as at is ally,
Austria.
France: Because its ally. Russia
was attacked by Germany.
Belgium; Because its neutral terri
tory, whose neutrality was guaranteed
by treaty signed by Germany, was in
vadcd by German armies.
England Because Germany had
violated the treaty guaranteeing the
neutrality of Belgium, of which both
Germany and England were Signers.
Japan: Because its treaty with Eng

threatened.

Town and community are not mere
accidental features of the landscape;
they are indispensable factors in pro-
ducing not only the highest but the
only known civilization. The human
race can as conveniently dispense with
houses as with communities. Man is
social animal and the community is
but development of mans social in
stincts OF course the community
can be destroyed, the rural town can
be wiped off the map; but not without
serious loss to civilization. The
fact that some persons are so short
sighted as to ignore the necessity of
the community organization does not
make that necessity any the less urg-
ent. Nor does it make injuries to the
community any the less vital because
the persons inAicting the injuries are
ignorant of the harm they are doing.
A community gives to each of its citi-
zens great many things that they
would sorely miss il deprived of them.
In return and for its own preservation
the local town-the nucleus of the
community, without which it would
not exist-demands something from
the citizen--his trade.
