TO GIRL WHO IS MOTHER
Indeed | Love Him." Says Mrs.

Him More Than | Do"

Chicago, Jan. 14.-Delving into the past
of the Rev. James Morrison DsrnelI. Of
Kenosha, Wis. whose third wife. Mrs.
Doris Vaughn DarnelI, today sacrificed
herself for the sake of Mrs. Ruth Soper
Darnell. who has a baby, attaches OF the
State ottorney's Office have found records
of two marriage licenses issued to the
minister within three years. Prosecu-
ton of the pastor is expected to follow.
Records OF the county clerks office
show that the first license was issued
December u. 1911, to marry Miss Ethel
Spurgeon: there was no return. The
second Hcense-to marry Miss Doris
Faughn-was taken out October IS, 1914;
there was no return. The next step in
the investigation will be to find the min
listers who performed the ceremonies. No
record OF Darnells' marriage to Ruth
Soper, mother Of a fve-months-old child,
was discovered.
Mrs. Doris Vaughn Darnell, seventeen

A Recommendation to Be Pigeonholed

TT WE grant that the Government should
i operate the postofices there is no logical
objection TO Government operation of the
telephone and telegraph lines. What OBJ
lection there is to Government ownership
of the telephone and telegraph is directed
not against the principle of public control
Of the transmission of messages, but against
the expediency of extending the activities
of the Government in branch of service
where it has not succeeded in demonstrating
its ability to do business on a business
basis.
The Postoffice Department has always
been conducted at a loss. Manipulating
bookkeepers under orders from their political
chiefs, have figured out profit two or three
times, but there has never been any real
profit The Commission on Industrial Rea-
tions, which has recommended the purchase
by the Government of the telephone and
telegraph companies. urges the change
the ground that the companies are over
capitalized; that their employees are over
worked and underpaid, and for the addi-
tional reason that they are engaged in a
public service, anyway
These are reasons that are not reasons
and we come back to the question of
expedency. Governmental service is notori-
ously inefficient. The British teegraphs,
operated by the Postal Department, charge
less for messages than is charged in Amer
lea; but there is always a deficit to be made
up by a general tax, and when this tax
is apportioned the cost of the messages to
the people is greater than in the United
States. When the privately owned telephone
companies were taken over by the British
Government two or three years ago there
The high salaried experts were dismissed
and low salaried civil service appontees took
their place, and every one was dissatisfied.
1t may be admitted that if the American
Government should take over the telegraph
and telephone companies the employees
would get more pay for less work; but until
the Government succeeds in doing in a more
businesslke way the business in which 1t
is already engaged the country will be
better served under the present arrange
ment.

adoption of this plan. After making, in CO.
operation with the Commission on Economy and
Efficiency, a survey of the organization and
functions of the State 'overnment, the New
York Bureau perpared ritical examination Of
the present form of government In New York
state. Among other things IL submitted two
proposals-Q) to reorganize the executive branch
of the government, and (2) to provide a scien-
tifc budget system.
The following system and procedure was
recommended:
First. The regular administration appropria-
ton bills with estimates for annual expendi-
ture, to be submitted by the governor to the
legislature during the first week of the session.
Second. The legislature thereupon to resolve
itself into a committee of the whole. not less
than one day a week, at which time the COVER
nor and executive heads may be present to ex-
plain estimates and items and to answer ques-
tions.
Third. Not later than sixty days after the
beginning of the session the governor to submit
a budget containing a financial plan for the
next fiscal year.
Fourth Final action of the legislature TO be
on the complete budget presented by the gov
ernor.
Many American cities have adopted a budget
policy. New York City has made considerable
progress along this line. Philadelphia too, is
working toward a scientific budget. From its
inception, this Bureau has co-operated to this
end. 1t is a difficult and complex problem ana
involves much study and experimentation. The
action of New York Constitutional Convention
is therefore of great interest to all citizens con-
cerned about devising ways and means to meet
the rapidly increasing expenditures of govern
ment, and to make these expenditures conform

"Gallopscious"

MARK TWAIN once wrote that the casual
1N1 observer upon seeing a womans lead
pencil would conclude she had sharpened It
with her teeth, but he would find on in
vestigation that she had used hairpin.
This is a tribute to the ability of women
to accomplish their ends even under. diff
culties, well as evidence of the universal
adaptability of the wire utensil found on
every dressing table and on every woman's
head. The number and variety OF things
that can be done with this implement are
doubtless greater than are possible for any
other human invention. There is nothing
which she cannot do with a hairpin, from
buttoning her shoes to repairing an auto
mobile. The last achievement was accom-
plished the other day by a young woman
whose electric car was stalled in the street
wire was needed and there was none
about save in her hair. She forthwith ex-
tracted two or three hairpns and they were
used with success and the moved on.
Every mother knows that there is moth
ing so effective for cleaning the ears of her
children, though the doctors object to the
use Of such unscientihc instruments, and
every boarding school girl has discovered,
as one OF them felicitously remarked that
Plum jam eaten on a hairpin at midnight

DRECISELY a year ago yesterday there
i began in France the military movement
known as the retreat from Mons. To the
readers of newspapers the outstanding
feature of that retreat was, in fact, not
retreat but an advance-the almost miracu-
lous advance of the German army, driving
before it the flower of the French army and
the British Expeditionary Force, until it
came to the very gates of Paris itself Yet
Paris was saved, the great drive spent it
self. and after a year the battle in the west
is still ndecisive. How and why did these
things happen? What was the strategy of
the Great War year ago?
The simplest way to arrive at some an
swer to these questions is to consider, with
out reference to the belligerents, two armies.
One of them is superior in numbers to the
other. The two can be represented so:

1t is the duty of the operative corner TO
go forward to meet the enemy, II a de-
fensive campaign is to be waged. The first
shock of battle must be absorbed in that
group of units, and their object must be TO
engage as many of the opposing units as
possible. Now, If the black units, in the

bering 1 to 16 II is clear that A. II Il at
tacks opposite 4. 8 and 6, will also engage

were OF 100 men each, such a movement
would be possible. When they compose

impossible in less than three or four days.

GREELEY AS AN ARTIST N WORDS

To the Editor Of the Evening Ledger:
Sir-Your correspondents have not yet estab-
lished their assertion that some one else, and
not Horace Greeley, said that 1.-THE way to re-
srme is to resume" The discovery by John
Rogers" that Salmon p Chase said that The
only way to resumption is to resume is in
teresting. but 1t is not to the point. The theory
applied to conditions in the United States
may have been first stated by Chase In his let
ter to Greeley, but it was Greeley, artist in
compact and forceful expression, who put the
idea in the form of words which has become
famous. S. G.. B.
