And what is more worth while than
a poets life? Lots of business men
are poets and l have known farmers
to compose poetry as they plowed
across their fields.
You don't have to earn money at
writing lines in order to live the ZEE
of poet or get the thrills from the
rythmic waves that sweep over your
brain as you think about and express
poetical things in life.
A human may be poetical in his
bearing, in his dress. in his smile.
in the way he does his work, as well
as thru the words that he expresses
from his mouth.
The business of being a poet is a
happy thing, for the. happier you get.
the more are you able to appreciate
the things that make up the poet.
II poetry could be expressed by
mere word. that word would be
Beauty. So that whenever you think
a beautiful thought or are inspired by
a beautiful sight or deed, you are play
ing upon threads that hold melody,
intangible as II may seem
Can you think of a better business
to be in than that Of being poet?

arate auditor for each department.
Under the prospective arrangem emit,
these auditors would simply be trans
ferred to a central organization known
as the accounting department. with a
comptroller general and an assistant
comptroller general at its head. These
two officials are to be appointed by
the president. with the advice and
consent of the senate. and are to hold
office during good behavior. They
may be removed at any time. however,
by resolution of both houses of con-
gress, for inefficiency. neglect of duty
or malfeasance in office. so
AS a further check upon the admin
istrative branch OF the government,
the bill further creates a new COM
mittee of congress, to he uI.popularly
known as the joint committee on re-
ceipts and expenditures of the govern
ment, whose pleasant duty shall be to
investigate and comment upon the es-
timated expenditures of the various
departments, the auditing system of
the new accounting department and
the different methods of raising APP
preparations.
The most important feature of the
bill is the provision that all estimates
of governmental expenditures in
GLIDING even those proposed by con-
gress, will be referred to the bureau
of the budget, and approved or re-
fused by it instead of by committees
of congress. This means that the pork
barrel will be removed forever from
the capitol.
A long time ago, a similar authority
was delegated to the appropriations
committee of the house of representa-
| tives. which kept a strict check on
public expenditures. An idea of its
function may be obtained from a re-
mark made by Uncle Joe" Cannon.
for many years its chairman, who
said: You think my business is to
make appropriations. but it is not.
1t is to prevent them being made"
The committee. in fact, was so skill
full in this that in 1855 it was dis
banded by congress and its powers
distributed among eight different
chaos is the result. The Good bill is
an attempt to remedy an ancient
mistake which started the nation on
its career of extravaganza.

The conditions for inaugurating a
boom turnout the country seem to be
present. The high prices of farm
products mean prosperity. not only to
the farmers. but to the towns and
cities which are closely related to the
agricultural districts. and may give Il
stimulus to speculation in lands and
various enterprises. The symptoms
of such movement have been Wis
ible for some time in spite of all the
restrictions placed upon the money
market in behalf of government loans.

If we were to have IAN open peace
openly arrived it," why does the pres
ident refuse to make public the text
of the treaty? Anyhow he might have
known that he could not keep it's con-
tents from the newspaper correspond

found that he could not transmit the
text of the treaty by cable. owing to
interference by the government, he
simply brought it home in his pocket.

Teach Children to Depend on Them

Teach Children to Dcpcnd on 1ncm-
selves.
II is a common thing to see a rich
man who keeps his sons in leading
strings until they are middle aged
men. He gives them generous al
lowance to spend, but he never gives
them a start in business, and tells
them to 60 to it. and sink or swim &C
cording to their own strength and
energy. Or he takes them in business
with him, but he never throws any
responsibility on them, or gives them
a chance to use their own judgment.
The father dies. and the elderly sons
are still little boys in mind and cour-
age. They are timid. They have no
initiative. They are afraid to trust
their own judgment because their
father has made them weaklings-
That is why rich mems sons so sell
dom carry on the prestige of their
fathers name, and so often even lose
the money they inherit, and why most
of the successful men are men who
have had to fight every inch of the
way for themselves. 1t is the case over
again of the little rich boy who didn't
know how to look out for himself,
and the street gamin who had to take
care of himself from the minute he
was born.
And Just as you can take care of a
bow until you destroy his ability to
take care of himself so you can pro-
tect a girl too much. OF course we
all have the Afeeling that We would
like to keep our daughters in glass
houses safe from the contamination
of the knowledge of everything dark
and evil.
1t is a pretty theory but impractical
in a world that is full of pitfalls for
unwary feet. Little as we like to ad-
nit it. ignorance does not make for
| innocence, and the forewarned are the
| forearmed.
There are mothers who never let
| their daughters move an inch without
! a chaperon, and who never permit
their girls to read a novel, or daily
paper that has not been censored. or
see a. play that deals with anything
| but innocuous saccharine sentiment.
| Can any sane person think these girls
are as safe as the wise little shop girl
who knows how to defend herself
| against the evil of a world in which
she knows what is vile, and chooses
| the good?
In the end we must all stand upon
| our own feet. Happy those who are
taught how to do so in their childhood,
and who do not have to lean on some
one else for support. For no such
thing exists as a perfectly reliable
crutch.

WAR COST TO FRANCE
REACHES HEAVY TOTAL

Paris December 30-The chamber
Of deputies discussed the provisional
credits for the first quarter of 1919
During the course of the discussion,
Deputy Jacques Stern declared the
total war expenses of France would
reach 25O,OOOOOO,OOO frances; those
of Great Britain he estimated as 300
0O0000,00O, and Of Belgium at 10000
100000 Thus, he said the allies
could ask from Germany 47O,OOO,OO,-
900 francs.
M, Stern recalled that DR.. Earl
Hefferlich, an authority on German
financial matters, in 1918, estimated
the annual income Of Germany at So.
OG00O0,O0 marks. To divide euuitab-
ly among the allies the war expenses
NJ. Stern considered necessary the
creation Of financial inter-allied COM
mission which would proportion the
debt among the nations This commits
sion, he believed, could constitute
the juridiscal basis of a league of
nations. The adhesion of Russia could
be obtained, according to NJ Stern. by
calling On the same part of the nation.
The discussion will be resumed to-
morrow.

TER HE HAS TOLD HIS STORY

head of everything in connection with
the sporting activities or the mer-
chant shipyard since il ,cGan opera
lions here, las $1,00 in his possession
representing oyerr2ymcHt l3r services
rendered prior to his recent discharge
which was occasioned by Il labor con
troversy.
Mcclure admits he has the money
and says he will return it, but i'll
sists that he be arrested first. For
some reason ten shipyard authorities
have failed to issue Il warrant, and
do not explain what steps will be
taken to recover it.
Mcguire, when he was discharged,
had a trifle more than $50 coming to
him, and when the check for his serv-
ices was drawn up it was for $1,000
more than was due him. The error
apparently was a clerical one al
though the check was countersigned
by two officials of the merchant cor
poration.
Mcclure says he KNOWS OF q num-
Der Of cases of inefficiency in the
shipysrd, and intimates that several
are of criminal nature. He has ask
ed that he be given an opportunity to
tell his story before a magistratrate
or court.
In the meantime the money is 1y-
ing in the safe in Bristol bank, and
there it will stay, MCGUIRE says, until
he is arrested and compelled to re.
turn it. shipyard officials have tried
to induce him to return it without
facing legal action and today stated
that some steps probably would be
taken soon.
