REVOLUTION IN GOVERNMENT

Governor Lowden, of Illinois, proposea n
complete revolution of the state govern
mental machinery. He proposes to oTponizo
the State just as he would organize a busi-
ness corporation-into departments. He
would have ten, which he believes enough n
cover all the activities of the state ue
would have chief at the head of each
OF these departments, chief appointed hv
him The chief would be held responsibls
to the Governor for the work Of his denarte
ment. All the chiefs and the Governor
would FORM the state cabinet. Each de-
partment chief would submit his vearS.
budget to the Cabinet. All estimates would
first be brought. in the aggregate, within
the states income Then they would be
reviewed and, if necessary, revised bv tbe
Cabinet This budget would then be snh1
mitted to the Legislature. Nh. Lowden fol.
1t Is useless to attempt to keep exnensas
within the States income until this svster,
is adopted But, as in Indiana, the prac-
tcal politicians in both parties are onnosed
to any such plan because it means fewor
offices and less plunder for them 10 divida
among their henchmen.--New Orleans Itar,

TRUST THE PILOT

TT is the duty of every American citizen,
in the ominous situation which the
country has had to face without warn.
ing to give the President the unqualified
loyalty and unquestioning support of a
patriot.
Mr.. Wilson will hold in his hands the
destinies of the Republic for the next
four years and will carry them to their
righteous fulhnment only with a united
people behind him. His loyalty to the
American honor is beyond question. lie
Is the devoted servant of American in.
terests, and whatever division there may
have been in the past about his policies
must now vanish before the supreme ne.
cessity for united action with the leader
who is, and must be, our leader in the
perilous days to come.

FRANCE EXPECTS TOURISTS

France is even now preparing for the
American tourist business after the war
shall have ended. That such is the case is
indicated by an article that recently ap-
peared in La Petite Gironde. published in
Bordeaux. This paper protests against the
cleaning up of the ruins created by the
German invasion, on the ground that Ameri-
cans will pay for seeing those ruins when
the war is over. millions of Americans
will come to Europe with the intention Of
leaving millions of dollars behind them"
says the Bordeaux paper. ut will be like
an overwhelming wave at first, followed by
many subsequent waves. First of all, they
will be anxious to visit those parts that
have been visited by war. That is why
it is to our interest to leave mute witnesses
of war to stand. Certain things must be
kept in the state in which they were during
the war-the trenches on the User, on the
Somme and at Verdun, the quarries at Sois-
sond And there must be kept standing
for q certain length of time at least two or
more villages or towns ruined by the war,
and especially few monuments, city halls
and cathedrals. Tacoma Tribune.

were not executed. The case Of Moses is
rather far-fetchcd. The spirit of patriot

had to suffer- but the point to remember
is this, that the Bible does not only approve
of capital punishment, but commands It.

Gods own Word: "tTe that smiteth man

of the man who broke the Sabbath day:
And the Lord said unto Moses. the man
shall be surely put to death; all the con-
gregation shall stone him with stones with
out the camp. Numbers, Ky, 35. And the
congregation did so, as the verse following

NEED OF LATIN

THERE Is a rather widespread belief that
l. the end of the war in Europe Will see
the warning countries unloading upon us
great quantities of manufactured articles
which have accumulated, and that the
efficiency developed in administering the
war will then be applied to ordinary com
mercial purposes we shall thus be under
a permanent handicap until we radically
alter our present wasteful methods OF busi-
ness.
] have been asked what service Latin
will perform in the training of our youth
to meet the new conditions. Assuming that
we shall have to meet such n dangerous
competition, which IL not absolutely certain,
but is quite probable | am convinced that
we must in our education seek to develop
discipline and efficiency. The weak point
Of American education today, from kinder
garten TO college, is precisely its failure
to produce these two qualities. Easy come,
easy go Is true of knowledge as well as
OF money You cannot get n trained mind
by doing easy problems adding two and

seeds, saving "A board, hammering BRASS
all these are too easy. You cannot develop
a baseball player 10y letting him toss a
hollow rubber ball nor "A Cavalryman by
giving him a roCking-Lorse. lie must have
something hard to work at to develop his
abilities.

Army VS.. Navy

w. F.-The relative serviceability of an
army ana navy is hard to determine, de-
pending upon the object in view. A sea
Power necessarily must have large navy.
An accepted view is that the navy is more
important for country which must pro-
tect long coast line, overseas possessions
ana commerce. and that the army is more
important for self-sustaining nation with
out interests at sea. The enemies of Han
nibal ana Napoleon were victorious in long
wars because they controlled the seas. To.
day Germany, because of England's su-
perlor navy Is hemmed in and has lost
her colohles' but apparently is intact after
two years war If expenditures are n cri.

armies, The following figures show the
