THE MOST CARELESS SPENDER.

Just now the outlook for the adoption of rational
business methods by congress is somewhat better
than usual. The chamber OF commerce of the United
preparations. and many OF the more progressive con-
gressmen express themselves as favorable 10 the
plan. II il does not contemplate Gripping the de-
partment Of justice by the process. it promises good.
Certainly it is high time for such a reform. The
reed has always been great. AT "A time when con-
gress was spending about $1,000. 100000 a year, Sen.
Aldrich estimated that by businesslike methods in
$500, 900. 900 a year could be saved. Last year enough
billions were voted to make even a Wall street
banker dizzy. There is no expectation Of the annual
expenditure falling below $4,000, 900, 900 for several
years. OF course. we were at war last year. The
budget advocates should not forget that.
IL can easily be imagined what a waste there must
be in having these vast sums apportioEed accord
lng 10 the erab-bag policy Of administrative de-
partments and the pork-barrel methods of more
than so congressional committees. without any seri-
Gus attempt. from start TO finish. to harmonic and
adjust the various claims on the treasury and avoid
duplication and waste. The only question is. Will the
budget committee be any better. or any easier TO
handle than a congressional mmittee
Uncle sam is the biggest spender in the world.
Maybe he doesn't spend any too much money at
that; but he certainly ought to get more for what
he does spend. And he never will until the house
and senate take their cue from private corporations
not as 10 where. or where not to spend it-but as
TO how to put their spending on a business basis.

THE DIPLOMATIC TONGUES.

Dispute over the language to be chosen for the
final. official text of the peace treaty. and the League
or Nations covenants. appears to have been settled
In favor OF both the French and the English. II is
quite as it should be. not from any sentimental rea-
sons. anent the part France has played in the war,
and certainly not because of her altruistic attitude
toward the treaty and the covenants. as they stand.
but because the French language is more common
to all nations. than any other. and the English the
common tongue OF the worlds leading peoples.
Americans who have given the matter any
thought have rather hoped It would be English.
because of a natural preference for their mother
tongue, and because it would be a recognition Of the
fact that the English language. like the English
speaking race. now plays the leading part in world
affairs. But the French people wanted their own
academy asked for it. and there was no great rea-
son why they should not have IT,
These are reasons enough, aside from courtesy.
French has been the recognized language of diplo-
macy for two centuries. It Is unquestionably well
fitted for that purpose because most statesmen. the
world over. understand it, and because it has at
tanned a polish and precision OF meaning not
possessed by any other modern language. This is
really a better reason than two centuries OF pre-
cedent.
Even making the official text exclusively
ship on anybody who does not know that language.
There would still be an official translation into Eng
lish which, for all practical purposes. would be just
as authoritative as the original. But the English
tongue has broken into diplomacy by the solution.

The United States department OF agriculture Is
engaged in a determined campaign to enforce the
net-weight amendment TO the food and drugs act as
IL applies 10 fruits and vegetables. This amendment
provides that the actual contents shall be plainly
indicated on packages containing food or drugs.
Hitherto there seems to have been considerable dis
regard of it with respect to fresh fruits and vegeta-
bles, though it applies to them no less than other
foodstuns. Shippers who fail to observe the law
are liable to prosecution in the federal courts.
This measure. of course. can only be enforced in
connection with goods coming under the designa-
ton OF Interstate commerce." that is. goods ship
ped over state lines. Many states and cities have
adopted similar regulations covering fOodstuhs ship
ped or sold within their own jurisdictions; but in
general. states and municipalities are still lax in the
matter.
In the last few years the multiplication OF sizes
and shapes Of boxes. crates. etc. has resulted in
chaos II is seldom that a consumer can tell. any
more. how much Of any fruit or vegetable there is
in any container. often the retailer does not know.
Sometimes the shipper himself does not know. It is
evident that. in order to insure fair dealing all along
the line. either all fruits and vegetables should be
sold by weight. or else the receptacles In which they
are sold shoulc show the precise quantity con-

Other Editors Than Ours
TESTING THE CABINET.
Cords international Weekly.)

Mr.. BurIeson's motion to return the telegraph
and telephone lines 10 their owners is regarded by
his critics as a surrender to their attacks. and by
his friends as the normal course that would have
been followed regardless of criticism.
IT may not be said that Nh. Burleson has been
subjected TO more criticism than any other member
Of the presidents cabinet. for he hasn't; but GER
tainly il may be said that he has endured criticism
with least success.
A cabinet is like a physical entity. il is subject 20
testing. and that part of it which is weakest fails in
the test. In the human body, if il is the lungs that
are the weak point. they are likely to succumb be-
fore the testing: If the stomach. that: if the heart,
that. In the cabinet the weak spot has been Burle-
son. and there the darts Of national criticism have
found Judgement Daniels was subjected to a long
and painful testing by public criticism. but the darts
aimed at him found no place TO penetrate. Baker
in his turn was compelled to bear the weight of ma
tional inquiry. doubt and challenge. but came
through with flying colors. Burleson seems somehow
to have failed to emerge from the storm Of blame
which has enveloped him.
1t may be that his job was different from that Of
the others, that he had to strive against obstacles
which the others did not meet. and with less ready
confronted with a difficult situation, he developed
ever that may be. he has failed of the personal and
official triumph which came as the national verdict
on other cabinet officers.
The political lesson is obvious and should oe heed
ed by future president. II is this; no cabinet place
is unimportant The strongest man obtainable should
be selected for each, because no one knows when
the least impressive cabinet position will be made
by circumstances the vital point in an administra-
tons record.

MUSIC IN THE PARK.

A letter published in a Saratoga IN. " paper
says: The biggest. best advertising that possibly
can be done for Saratoga in my estimation is high
class music in the park"
Everybody loves band music, and undoubtedly any
city or town which can advertise and produce good
band concerts will attract visitors; and while it may
be neither practical nor possible to hire Sousa and
his artists, a local band is not to be despised.
Where there is no such organization no time
should be lost in forming one, nor will it be difficult
ordinarily. Talent often lies unsupported, waiting
only to be discovered.
In the good old days the BAND used to play on
Saturday nights only. but there is really no reason
why every summer night should not be made more
beautiful by music: AID people get out now on sum-
mer evenings as they never did before.
Besides attracting visitors, good music is good
for everybody and the public taste can be trained
and the public pride aroused even as the public
purse grows fat from money spent within the city
gates by those attracted to the town by the band
concert in the park.

The policy Of American courts. in placing the
dollar above the man, and Of satan in resisting the
opportunities OF soul development goes merrily on.
once more a block has been placed in the way Of
freeing childhood from the curse Of undue labor.
Federal Judge James T. Boyd Of North Carolina.
who last year declared the federal child labor law
unconstitutional. has made the same decision in re-
gard to the tax on the products OF child labor in
the new revenue law.
His decision need cause no surprise. The minds OF
a good many people in every state whose children
are exploited seem 70 work that way.
Naturally. every one who is interested in children
as children. and everyone who has any sane view
OF the economic waste Of killing the goose that lays
the golden egg. hopes that this decision may not be
sustained by the supreme court.
But whether or not the tax is upheld. sooner or
later the reform viii come. The public opinion OF
the whole world is against the employment OF chill
dren under IA years old 10 the detriment OF their
health. education and future usefulness. The labor
charter adopted by the peace conference is evidence
of that.

Here's another:

The Victory Liberty loan drive.
which was started in ST. Joseph
county in April. 1919, closed today
with the quota Of $4,000 en-
tirely subscribed. County Chairman
w. l.. Chandler. who is in failing
health from the inhrmities of old
age. announced that the loan had
been considerably over-subscribed-
He could not say what the treasury
department intended TO do with the
SIC over-subscription, Sec'y Carter
Glass having. passed away waiting
around for the st. Joseph county
total TO come in.
Another death in connection with
the campaign was that OF City
Chairman Fred Woodward. Mr..
Woodward dropped dead in 1880
when Edward Haver offered to buy
a $50 bond.
County Chairman Chandler stated
that il has taken the last five years
TO collect the remaining $40 of the
county's quota. Mishawaka went
over the top" the first year of the
loan in the fear that South Bend
would beat il in something. The
largest attended loan meeting held
in the county in the 20 years OF the
loan drive was at Tony Barrett's
on June 80, 1919. at which eight
people were present Enthusiasm
ran very high at the Barrett meet
ing.
Mr.. Chandler had the following
to say in reference TO the Victory
drive:
In the closing years Of my life I
am happy 10 see that the Victory
loan has finally been subscribed.
Many OF the original loan workers
have died but their children and
grandchildren have carried on the
work with credit 10 all OF them"

into the ditch by the roadside. The oncoming tide OF
forward-looking humanity is too much for them.
