PROBING PHILANTHRoPIsTs.

Is our country fortunate or unfor-
tunate, in that some of it's rich men
feel disposed or CONTAINED TO dedi-
tional philanthropic work, and part
of their time, energy and experience
to the unpaid direction of this work :?
This is the period of the probe"
Statesmen everywhere throughout the
country are zealously probing every
thing but themselves. Particularly
where big money is involved do they
fasten themselves like parasites that
will not be shaken off while parasit-
ing is good.
There seems to be a growing theory
that government should take over
and conduct the big foundations, en-
dowed with many millions.
There is no good reason why gov
eminent itself should not establish
foundations to the good purposes for
which these are privately endowed.
But it does not do so, and il is more
| than doubtful if politicians are the
fit people for directing such things.
Higher education in this country
was started and has always had its
main impulse and support not from
government but from private in
dividuals and organizations, religious
and others.
Harvard. Yale. Columbia. Johns
Hopkins. the University of Chicago,
Leland Stanford and scores OF other
institutions which have done most
and best in higher education are the
work of private benefactors. And
these institutions have been respcn-
sive TO genuine public interest Is
there any reason to suppose that poll
iucians would, or could. have done
better?
What advantage would likely come
to this country n checking the tend
envy OF the rich to devote their
means 20 higher education on the con-
ditions that have hitherto obtained ?
( or to the endowment Of scientific re-
| search?
No other nation in the world can

other OF half dozen American in
I situations for scientific research that

Have politicians ever shown in
clination or ability to do better?

LOOKING NOR WORN.

Except in towns busy supplying
material for the warning powers. the
present winter has seen an unusual
number of applicants for work. 1t is
a motley procession that passes under
the cold eye of the man who does the
hiring. Many Of them are perfectly
respectable fellows. often competent
men in their own line. They may
have changed employments a short
time before the war began, and are
merely thrown out as the last man
taken on.
In more cases the applicants carry
the marks OF less regular labor A

BUSI%TSsS SENSE APPLIED l.
LEGISLATIVE ECONOMY.

II t5oH Lieut. Gov ONeiH just
from Friday of last week to Monday
Of this week. with a special commit
tee on printing expense preparing for
an investigation, TO draw from the
holder of the state printing contract
a statement OF what il is costing the
upper house of the assembly for its
supplies and documents incident TO
the session.
Monday, Mr.. William =. Burford,
state printer. after having several
times overlooked senate demands for
bills Cf printing expense, found it
convenient 10 present the lieutenant
governor with a statement such as
had been so frequently desired, and
accordingly the necessity Of a special
committee investigation was fore
stalled. 1t appears that upon the
heels of the appointment of the senate
committee, Of which sen. Chambers
was made chairman, the state board
of public printing at once decided to
hold a meeting. Sunday, and then it
heI6 another meeting with Gov. Raj
ston, Monday morning, and the state
ment was ready by the time the senate
convened Monday afternoon.
A JOINT finance committee, 10 watch
over the public printing incident TO
the session, was one of the things that
Sen. Stephen Il. Fleming had been
wanting TO inaugdraJe previous TO his
resignation, but he failed in it. The
special committee in the senate fol-
lowed in consequence. 1 had its eff
feet so far as the senate is concerned.
The public printer will not be permit
ted to hold up his bills until the last
day of the session and then turn it in
at a time when there is no Opportu-
nifty 10 investigate as was the case two
years ago. Some of the so-called ex-
travagance charged against the 6Sth
assembly for which it was criticised
by the Marion county grand jury, at
the time it returned those notorious
indictments, is chargeable against a
condition such as Lieut.. Gov. O'Neill
has determined to avoid this year.
and fer which his special committee
was appointed.
The point Of all of which. of
course. is. why was it necessary, or
even desirable. for the public printer
To wait. or that the public printing
board should fail TO act. and then not
without consulting the governor
until a special investigating commit
tee had been put on their trail?
IL occurs 10 us from an analysis OF
the affair as it comes up from Indian
apolis. that Sen. Fleming's proposed
joint committee through which the
senate and house would have been
enabled 10 keep tab on these items of
expense together might not have been
such bad thing. and the house
should have concurred. Lieut. Gov.
O'Nein was certainly justified in APP
plying the principle TO the senate at
least, before matters had gone too far
for checking. The printers statement,
as il was. was sent back for item
izauon. Just lump totals. has not
been permitted to go. BY reducing
the margins on printed bills. and
having them run solid type, rather
than with a quarter inch between
lines, the senate has planned TO save
some $4,000 this session. and il wants
20 know that such saving is 10 be
made 10 the people rather than just
10 the printer. 1t is merely business
methods applied to the affairs of the
public, and why not?

REDUCING THE COST OF RETAIL
TRADE.

There are two main elements Of
the cost in the goods YOU buy at the
retail store: First. the price paid the
dealer who sold them TO the retailer;
second. the local cost of sales force,
and ON erhead charges, including
rent. taxes. bookkeeping, etc.
The first Of these charges can be
reduced only as exceptional skill in
buying is shown by the retail dealer
But the second Of these elements
Of expense for sales cost and over
head charges can be greatly lessened
by advertising. which interests a great
many people. draws more customers
TO the store, and increases sales.
If the sales are doubled, the eX-
pense OF clerks, rent, taxes book
Keeping may be increased little if
any. Consequently the merchant can
afford 10 sell his goods for much
less since he has cut these charges
in two. That is why it is cheaper
TO buy from merchants who advertise.
