Seeking Fame.

A man who was earning good
wages as a machinist in Philadel-
phia became infected with the idea
of making big money as movie"
actor. Having no histrionic talent
for it is really necessary for the pan
tomimists who perform for the
screen plays to have talent-he could
get no employment in that line. So
he bethought himself of not un-
common device for breaking into the
stage game, the acquisition Of no.
torlety. Having no inclination for
crime, he had to do something SEN
sational. Opportunities for heroism
are limited and arc not to be COM
manded. Thus the field narrowed
for the Philadelphia machinist. Then
he remembered the performance of
Steve Brodie, a New York character
who some years ago literally leapcd
into fame by springing off the
Brooklyn bridge and surviving the
adventure. Brodie acquired brief
notoriety by his daredeviltry, but his
prosperity was not lasting, for pub
lie curiosity will not long cling to a
man who has merely done a foolish,
useless thing. To the Brooklyn
bridge, nevertheless, went the Phila-
delphia man. and, eluding the police,

A Puzzle.

A small boy is puzzle great.
He SHES at computation,
And yet he can elucidate
Each base ball complication.
He hates to journey to the store,
Though short be the excursion,
And yet he'll run two miles or more
By way of sheer diversion.
His clothes he turns into a wreck,
And views as useless trimming.
He hates to wash his face and neck.
But likes to go in swimming.
He thinks it fun to climb tree
And risk broken shoulder
AS inconsistent he will be
At fifty years or older.

Mexico.

First Chief" Carranza, it is re-
ported, proposes to answer President
Wilson's note to Mexico regarding
conditions in a manner to indicate
that in his judgment, he, Carranza,
is the one man suggested by the
President in his expression of hope
that a leader might be found capable
of bringing order and stable govern
ment to the Mexican people. In view
of his past performances and his in
ability to hold his chief ally, Villa, in
cooperation, Carranza's assumption
of the role of Mexico's savior is pre-
posterous. President Wilson's note,
if it meant anything at all, signihed
that in his judgment none Of those
now at head of forces in the field can
bring order out of the chaos in which
Mexico is suffering. Those Mexican
leaders who are at present in COM
mand of troops can figure in the res
toration of order only by sincere CO.
operation with one another. If they
cannot agree and if no one man can
be developed who is not now iden-
tilted with the warning factions to
establish stable government in Mex
ico the United States, under Presi-
dent Wilson's proclamation of policy,
must intervene to give Mexico what
it cannot give itself, substantial ad-
ministration based upon order and
honesty. 1t will then be for the Mex
lean people to learn how to govern
themselves and eventually to take
over the direction of their own af-
fairs upon the foundation thus laid
by this country.

gress in loose appropriss;sns and
might easily be saved. The yarn
served its purpose, and then returned
to plague its inventors. Appropria-
tons making a record in totals came
from the party which had obtained
power on the economy issue.
But what Mr.. Fitzgerald says is
within reason Large savings could
be made on two bills alone-the river
and harbor bill and the pubic build
ings bill-and in other directions the
pruning knife could be used without
injury to the public interests.
And maybe Mr.. Fitzgerald intend
ed to give notice of his program for
the coming session. If he remains in
the House he will again be chairman
Of the appropriations committee. and
in position to make fight for econ
omy on the lines he has indicated.
This time, too, he will be assisted by
the fact that as a presidential election
is approaching his party will want to
be as good as possible for campaign
purposes.
But let US suppose a saving made
of from fifty to hundred million
dollars. The session will still be IN
the billion-dollar class. At least that
much money will be necessary as es-
Inmates go and demands are urged to
provide for the support of the gov
ernment according to standards very
generally approved.
There should be national budget
Equally necessary is an intelligent
and economical appropriation of the
revenues. But the last and important
word relates to the size of the coun-
try, and the needs of growing
giant. The party failing to consider
those two things will fail in its para
mount duty

Economy. and the Next Session

The Star the other day commented
appreciatively on some observations
Representative Fitzgerald had made
TO the New York constitutional con-
Ncntion on the subject of congress
sional extravaganza. with special ref
erencc to appropriations for existing
public buildings. The following is
taken from report OF the address IN
which economy is treated on general
lines:
II chance were given. our ma
tional government could be conducted
at from S50,00o.000 to Sl00,0O0,OO0 less
yearly than it now costs
The greatest hlndrance to keeping
down appropriations in the House Of
Representatives the speaker said. was
that few congressman cared what the
budget totaled as long as they obtain
ed the appropriations they desired.
The speaker also insisted that To-
seph q. Cannon was doing a public
service several years ago when. as
Speaker. he declined at the request
of two-thirds of the House, to suspend
the rules for the purpose OF a public
building bill
Former Senator Root frequently
nodded assent to Mr.. Fitzgerald's
statements regarding the loose appro-
priation system of the national gov
ernment"
1t will be recalled that in the cam
paign Of 1912 statement Mr.. Aldrich
had made in the Senate on the same

The National Defense.

Senator Hitchcock-entirely COM
petent to speak-reports the midoie
west in thorough sympathy with the
movement for strengthening the ma
tional defense. on both land and sea,
The people out there, because at a
distance from the seaboard, are not
without knowledge of what is gong
on abroad, or Indifferent to what 1t
NAV mean for this country. They
are we'll advised of the world COM
motion, east and west, and as mueh
interested as their brethren living on
either the Atlantic or the Paclhe
coast in studying the dangers to US
of an unparalleled situation
The men who developed the great
empire beyond the Mississippi know
the value of force, both in building
and preserving a state. They en-
countered an enemy-not strong IN
numbers, but full OF craft and tire
less in action-and subdued him. 1t
was long job. and taxed their re-
sources. The Indian was no mean
antagonist. But will power and pre-
paredness overcame him. and estab-
lished garden spots on his lmme-
mortal wastes. And the great gain
has been held by vigilance.
During the civil war, the west
though largely undeveloped then, and
in only stage coach communication
with the east-was not Indifferent to
the value and meaning of the strug-
gle. Clear to the Pacific sense OF
nationality was manifested; and some
of the strongest friends of the Union
lived in California.
In the war with Spain the west re-
sponded with alacrity. Troops raised
within her borders were among
those sent to the Philippines. while
the Rough Riders who went to Cuba
had been largely recruited in the
west and southwest. Nebraska con-
tributed her share of soldiers, and
Mr.. Bryan enlisted as colonel OF
regiment.
If there is one issue in our public
affairs not now political that issue
is the national defense. Since the Eu-
ropean war began it has risen above
party and above section. All parties
and all sections realize today how
pathetically small and inadequate
both our army and our navy are. On
land we have so very little, 1t is no
comfort to feel that what we have
is excellent. On the sea we are bet
ter provided, but still, as the experts
publicly confess, far from being in
the proper form there. They urge
large additions as soon as possible.
A single suggestion of real danger
makes this whole country kin; and
this spirit will show when Congress
meets and takes up the subject now
paramount.
