Possible Benefit of War

One readily thinks of the harmful
effects of such war as the European
war and they are so great it is diff
cult to think of anything else. The
cost of that war has already equalled
the cost of all the wars of the world
for the past 100 years and very soon,
If not already, it equals the loss of
all the wars of history. About $685.
600, 900 has already been spent
in operating the armies or in prop
erty losses. In addition to the prop
erty losses there is the loss of life.
Every soldier killed or disabled is one
of the physically best citizens of his
country and his loss is more serious
than the death of sickly or physical
ly weak man. The soldiers are young
too and their loss is more serious
than that of old men whose physical
usefulness is past. So the tax upon
the vigorous manhood of each coun-
try is one that will be felt in coming
generations as we'll as this.
With such appalling losses before
us what benefit can we suggest? We
mention but one and that is the dis
continuance of the use of intoxicating
liquors. We know what Russia,
and France have done and
now England is facing a decree of
total prohibition. Not only prohibi-
ton among the soldiers and work
men but in the highest classes as we'll.
1t is a great victory for temperance
for King George Of England to say
that he is ready to discontinue the
use of liquor personally and in his
household, as he did last week. Eng
land has found prohibition necessary
to keep its workmen at their tasks
of furnishing supplies for the army
and it's society says it is not fair
to discriminate in the enforcement of
this stringent regulation.
Forced to refuse the use of liquor
in times of national stress these
countries are declaring to the world
that the use Of liquor is unnecessary
and harmful and this war may bring
about the most complete temperance
reform the world has ever known.
Such a result would certainly be a
benefit that would be felt as long as
the terrible losses the world is suf-
fering.

We said at the opening that Col.
Harvey is a democrat. He is more.
He is a citizen who would purge his
party of incompetency and undesir-
ables that his country might have
sane and efficient service from its
public officials. His exposition of
Secretary Daniels will be generally
commended.

From An Economical standpoint.


That there was a widespread de-
mand for greater economy in the con-
duct of state business, especially in
the department of justice, was very
evident before the legislature of
1915 went into session. That it has
not completely redeemed the party
pledge in this respect must be adj
mitted by every body. An honest eff
fort for judiciary reform was made
by appointing three men of such high
standing as Justice Gorge M. Powers,
Judge F. L. Fish and Judge Harland
B. Howe to report a method of sim
pier court procedure. This commits
sion did it's work well and reported
what seemed to the layman a very
desirable bill. The bill came very
near death but was finally passed and
doubtless will reduce expenses in
this department.
With plenty of judges to handle all
litigation expeditiously, the legisla-
ture created another set of judges for
the municipal courts and increased
the number of those courts. This
the lawyers claim is a step in econ
omy but il undoubtedly will mean
more expense and more politics in
the judicial department of the gov
eminent. In addition to this a re-
vision of the statutes was authorized,
an act that will mean an expense of
from $4,000 to $4,000 The SEN
ate also refused to abolish the Office
of attorney general which has been
so expensive in the past. One can
find little that looks like economy
in these acts.
With the issue whether the state
should give more to the common
schools and less to the colleges of
the state, the colleges went before
the legislature and secured more
money than ever and got it in the
form of permanent annual appropria-
tions. So now any legislature wish
ing to equalize state support OF pub
lie schools and the colleges will have
to start the fight by repeating this
law

Appropriations of $4,000 for a
home for the feeble-minded and
$4,000 for an addition to the state
buildings seem necessary but they
have made the appropriations so
large that the direct tax
Of FIVE cents on dollar is
insufficient to pay the expenses
of the two years ahead. A bonded
debt of $245,OOO has also been put
on the state by returning to the per-
manent school fund the money the
state stole from it in 1S45 to build
the present state house with. This
has increased the states expenses
and has created what has always been
avoided in the past, a state bonded
debt.
A slight economy was effected by
the legislature refusing to raise the
pay of the sweepers and a consider
able saving may be made by the new
ly created printing commission which
can control the amount of printing
state officials shall have done But
these savings will hardly Offset the
increased expenses authorized Yet
it is evident the legislature wanted
to be economical. Wherever it failed
it was due to the difficulty of getting
276 men, many little acquainted
with financial questions to consistent
ly support the policy rather than any
effort to gouge the taxpayers of the
state.

As Col. Harvey Sees Him


Col. George Harvey, editor of the
North American Review, shows his
courage again in the April number
in his sizing up of the failure of
Josephus Daniels as secretary of the
navy. Both men are democrats but
that does not deter Col Harvey from
speaking the truth even if it shows
the hypocrisy of the clause in the
democratic platform denouncing "the
prof1igate waste of money wrung
from the people by oppressive tax
alton" and demanding "a return to
that simplicity and economy which
BELTS a democratic government.
After showing that $32O,6OO,OOO
had been spent on navy yards up to
June, 1910, half of which was prac-
tically wasted, Secretary Meyer, Mr..
Daniels predecessor, recommended
the closing of the naval stations at
New Orleans, Pensacola, San Juan,
Porto Rico, New London, Sackett's
Harbor, Culebra and Cavite because
they were of no value to the naval
service. Secretary Daniels an
nounced that he would rehabilitate
the navy yard at Charlotte because
cit would furnish jobs to quite a
squad of PATRIOTS He Immediately
reopened the yards at New Orleans
and Pensacola. In his annual re-
port he boasts that new construction
work is authorized at discarded navy
yards. Further than this he has or
dered the transference of ships be-
ing repaired at the Portsmouth yard
to Pensacola which is recognized as
a punishment of New Hampshire for
returning to the republican fold.
Such brazen misuse of public funds
for political rewards cannot fail to
shock every believer in honest gov
eminent.
After showing that Secretary Dan
iels is ignoring the demand of all
practical naval authorities for great
er efficiency in the conduct of naval
affairs, Col. Harvey finishes his analy-
o4o OOAhC IA4AS AAAO LhAOs
"Of all the secretaries of the navy
from Benjamin Stoddert to George
Won L. Meyer, he (Daniels) has
proved himself unquestionably the
least competent. If he has done a
single useful act, barring his boasted
saving at the spigot while wasting
at the bung-hole, the instance has yet
to be revealed. If he has failed to
utilize an opportunity to discredit
both the department and the admins
rent"
His (Daniels) repeated declara
tions that the navy is fully
prepared for battle, in the face of
testimony to the contrary by every
admiral who has been questioned
/. have come to be regarded
as no more than the puerile chatter
of an incompetent official fatuously
attempting self justification.
I'VE cheerfully accord to Mr., Dan
iels whatever credit there may lie in
a lack of comprehension of the mag
nitude of his handicap to the admin
istration, but We are no less strongly
convinced that the fullest under
standing would convey to his con-
science no sense of obligation to re-
lieve the president to whom he is so
immoderately indebted Of a burden
which would break the back of any
but an extraordinary administra-
ton"

1t is pointed out that from August
to December 1, 1914, there was a
foreign trade balance of $153, OOO,-
900 in favor of this country, that for
the months of December, January and
February the balance in our favor
was SAIL, 100000 and this is making
United States a creditor nation. The
showing is very comfortable one
but it must be remembered that it
is only temporary. While the war
lasts we probably will continue to
send foreign countries more than we
receive from them but when that
stops and the great masses of Europe
return to industrial pursuits our ba-
lance of trade is likely to vanish. We
can boast of it now but we must not
depend upon it as permanent thing.
