GOVERNMENT BUDGET.

Chairman Sherley of the house
committee on appropriations has
the earnest support of President
Wilson in his effort to induce
congress to adopt the budget sys-
TEN of handling the govern
ment's money. Since his cleo
tion the president has advocated
a budget in lieu of the pesent
system of making appropria-
tions. Mr. Taft before him fa-
vored similar plan. There is
a strong sentiment for a budget
in congress but it has never been
brought to the point of crystalli-
zation, although the national
platforms of both the democratic
and republican parties have de-
Jared for it. The hope now is
hat the lessons of the war will
'esult in favorable action before
he adjournment of the present
SSiOn

did not exist.
"'It will be equally impossible
for us to keep out of another
general European war. This war
was our war; the settlement is
our settlement, and the main
tenance of the terms of that set
Element is our business.
"To say that we should avoid
it is to say that we should be
recreant to our duty to ourselves
and to the world, and blind to
the progress of events.
"It is "a mistake to suppose
that the destructive character of
one war will prevent another.
In the next general war, the
United States will not escape
with any such moderate loss as
that which has been ours in this
war. The mothers and the Sis
ters and the wives and the faith
ers need not take any such flat
tering junction to their souls.
"The argument that to enter
this covenant is departure
from the time-honored policy OF
avoiding entangling alliances is
an argument that is reactionary
and utterly blind to the changed
circumstances in our present sit
uation. The war changed that.
"The fundamental attitude Of
Senator PoindeXter and Senator
Reed and Senator Borah is that |
they confine their arguments to
pointing out the dangers Of the
to the United States,
which are comparatively slight.
Let him who objects to the
covenant suggest another rem
edy or hold his peace. We are
told by those three reactionary
senator's that the constitution of
.he United States, the grandest
he world ever saw, is to limit
he usefulness Of this country
md prevent it from doing its
part in saving the world and it.
