FEDERAL BUDGET
With The bnlior

With the billions which are being collected and spent
by the government there is all the more reason. why the
United States should have in actual working operation
q budget system which will introduce the element of
system into our public affairs. Some of the states have
already made progress in this direction. Every business
corporation finds an adequate budget system necessary
to it, continued solvency. Even the private individual
whose expenditure is limited to a few hundred dollars
a year finds that unless he has something in the nature
of a budget he is likely to land on the rocks. And yet
the nation itself, with all its vast responsibilities and
immense undertakings, blunders along without anything
which, by the greatest stretch Of courtesy, can be called
. budget.
Estimates are submitted to congress by the heads
of the several departments Of the sums desired for the
work Of those departments, and this Is done without
consultation or coordination. The secretary Of the treas
ury presents his estimate Of receipts and expenditures,
Then the committees take up the work OF making ap..
preparations. The work is done piecemeal by a number

The title by which the recently appointed ambas-
sador is now known is a very recent one. having been
conferred during the war in recognition of service per-

the dark days Of the war which he had been powerless
to avert.
The diplomatic correspondence Of JULY 1914, seems

occurred in the meantime, but the world has much for
which to thank the statesmen Of that day who devoted
arduous days and sleepless nights to the great problem
of maintaining throughout the world a peace which
should be a peace of honor, but who notwithstanding
their own earnest desire for peace and the consciousness
of the awful horrors that war would surely entail. yet re.
manned firm in their. determination that not even peace

rectitude. Foremost in that great group stood Sir Ed

The German Psychology

Germany, in anticipation of the re-
stricted market for her manufactures
and the relatively increased depen-
dence upon agricultural products for
the support Of her population, is be-
ginning to think in the German way
about emigration: This migration,
however, If the leaders have their
can best be spared or who can be re-
lied upon to carry with them and
maintain their national identity wher-
ever they go will be chosen for this
purpose.
Notwithstanding Germany's disap-
pointment in the attitude of the great
mass Of Germans in America during
that those who emigrate, instead Of
becoming assimilated by the people
of the country to which they go and
becoming genuine loyal citizens Of
that state, are to hold themselves to-
gether as If they were German COL
onists owing first allegiance to the
fatherland. So self-centered and con-
ceited are they that they, with true
German psychology, fail to realize
and especially its announcement In
advance, would insure in most
tries an u%nfriendly reception, If not
an absolute barring of the doors.
There is, however, one fact which
may operate to the reduction of this
proposed emigration to negligible
proportions, and that is that in the
new Germany, where the average citi-
zen is beginning to realize his indi-
viduality apart from the state, he may
refuse to be deported in the interest
of the fatherland. and insist either
upon remaining at home or upon
seeking residence elsewhere at liberty
to identity himself with the people
and government Of the land of his
choice, and severance Of all connec-
ton in a political or economic sense

liked her dark-blue suit with its re-
lieving white at throat and wrists,
white quill al just the right angle.
And she wore the shining, Spanish
hceled, small shoes Of his choosing.
He noticed how large her gray eyes
were, when she lifted. them to his,

under a still, gray sky. But her
heavy lashes threw shadows across

ed. He could not tell what she was
thinking or feeling.
So they were married before the
imposing altar of cream-hued marble,
and the conventional notice went to
the newspapers:
Adriance-Murray. Elsie Galvez
Murray to Anthony Adriance, Jr., by
the Rev. Dr.. Van Huyden, at st.

caught his attention also. There
once had been a governor Of Loutsi-

But he was not thinking of an

acutely conscious of the finality of

Of his father and Lucille as q man

Of escape gripped and shook him.

VITAL STATISTICS

The state health officer has just distributed copies
Of the report of the state health department for the cur
rent quarter. The pamphlet contains valuable information
relating to public health, information which will be use
full and interesting to those contemplating the work OF
nursing and a variety Of other useful matter, together
with the usual tables of vital statistics. 1t is a matter
of common knowledge that the vital statistics Of North
Dakota are sadly incomplete. Our state lis not one OF
those recognized by the federal authorities as having ade-
quate and reliable statistics on this subject. The insult
ficiency of our information in the past has perhaps been
in a measure excusable. Population has increased rap
idly, settlers have lived in districts remote from other
inhabitants, and many things relating to the vital history
Of the state could transpire without, there being any
proper facilities for reporting the facts ofacially. These
conditions, while they have not disappeared entirely. are
disa ppearing, and the time is coming when there will be
plete and accurate information relating to its births.
deaths, diseases, etc.
One COMPLAINT that has been made in the past in ex-
PLANTATION Of our failure to collect proper statistics is that
the legislature has not appropriated sufficient funds to
make this possible. The Herald has never been able
to see the full force Of this explanation. 1t is a fact
that appropriations for this purpose have been small.
but there have been laws on the statute books requiring
reports to be made and designating the persons who
should make them, and it has always seemed to this paper
that without any very large appropriations, arrangements
could have been made to insure. if not perfect reports.
at least reports much more nearly perfect than those
which we have had. Practically all of the facts relating
to vital statistics come within the professional knowledge
Of some person who is reasonably easy to reach. If all
of these facts which came to the knowledge of physi-
clans, nurses, undertakers, and a few others were re-
ported promptly and accurately, the situation would be
greatly improved. A few probably would be unreported
but those would be but a small percentage of the total
and it seems that no very great amount of skill and wis
dom would be required to draft a law provided with a-
propriate penalties requiring each Of such persons to
make a report regularly Of all the cases which have
come to his knowledge concerning which report should be
made. If it were known that failure to comply with this
law would be followed by fine or Imprisonment or by
cancellation of the license to follow a profession there
would be few failures to report.

Repetition Of History

The wave of social unrest which is
passing over the world at the present
time might have been predicted by
any careful student Of history. Every
great war in the past has brought an
aftermath Of this sort. The unrest Of
today Is more widespread and more
acute because the war was such vast
affair in comparison with all previous
It takes but little reflection to re-
alize that the world cannot be ripped
up by its roots, as it has been during
the past five years. without %unsettling
most of the old economic relations
and impairing faith in the old social
order. War places a premium on
force, not on reason: on violence, not
on elaboration and compromise. This

force without STINT as the means Of
getting results. Surely the whole
world can hardly be expected to pass

Ordinarily the material destruction

United States we have had nd great

sense. On the other hand we have

gate the idea that the resources of the
nation r absolutely without limit.
This babel Of voices calling for the

PHlLADELPHIA'S NEW CHARTER

The people Of the city of Philadelphia have before
them for acceptance a new charter recently prepared
by the legislature and shortly to be submitted to the vote
OF the people interested. The outstanding feature of the
new charter is its attempt to simplify the operation Of
the city government, without the concentration Of all
power in the hands of the same individual. One OBJ
lection that has beenE made to the existing charter Of
Philadelphia is that it makes the mayor virtually an au-
tocrat, and this condition has given rise to many scandals
and abuses. Another feature Of the existing charter il
the unwieldly nature of its representative body which
is composed Of LAG members, and which further has, only
very limited authority. The new charter substitutes for
the old council a body Of twenty-one men elected from
the eight districts into which the city is to be divided
It is intended that these men shall devote their time and
attention to the business of governing the city and their
salaries are fixed on that basis. They are given real au-
thority and there is a general feeling that the plan will
be greatly superior to the present one. This is not the
elected separately as in the past and will have very large
powers. He will be the executive head Of the city gov
eminent, will make the appointments and be responsible
for them. But the council of twenty-one men will shape
the municipal legislation and it has been supposed by
those who have framed the new charter that this plan
will be really superior to that of the
commission form which has been so highly
lauded in the past. The commission plan
~ it usually exists does not actually do what it is sup
posed to do. 1t does not concentrate authority and fix
responsibility. Where there is a commission of five men
as is usually the case that commission as a body is of
course responsible for all the governmental acts. Usually
each commissioner has charge Of a particular depart
ment but each commissioner is subject in the work Of
his department. to the supervision of the entire body and

COMMENT ON ELECTION RESULT
IN NEW YORK.

The primary election in Now York
City on September End nominated
two colored men for New York State
Legislature and two colored men
for the Board of Aldermen.
Notwithstanding that only one Of
the candidates named by the United
Civic League was successful in nomi
nation three other colored candidates
were nominated, making i'll all, four
The result was great victory for
the principles for which the League
stands and has fought for six straight
years, and which required an iron
will as well as. an abundance of cOur
age.
Though the United Civic League
has been opposed at every turn by
the regular old line organization, de
MED patronage or favor, that little
band of determined men and women
each year pressed the claims and jus
ticc OF the colorcd voters cause I'LL
til the two assembly districts and
the two aldcrmanic districts appeX
ing in colored Harlem are now con
trolled by ths colorcd Republican
voters. 1t is clear exposition Of
"ldl OfBdHlZcu CllOil alllOllB COlOIcu
people can accomplish.
The United Civic League has been
fought by Republican machine, the
Republican newspapers, the Republi-
can captains and other interests bit
in spite Of it all this organization,
organized by John M. Royal in 1913
and who is now its leader, has nev-
or faltcrcd. 1t sent Honorable Ed
ward a. Johnson the first col0red AS
scmblyman to the New York State
Legislature in 1917. 1t sent Honor
able John Clifford Hawkins to the
N. Y. State Legislature, the End col
ored Assemblyman in 1918 and it is
the work Of that Organization which
a; forced the Republican machine to con
slider four colored men this year.
The United Civic Leagues slogan
now is con to Congress" we need
voice in national matters and it feels
that one should be sent from New
York and one from Chicago in 1920.
