Cruelty {. Practical Jokes.

That was a poor sort OF Joke play
ed by a New Yorker who inserted in
d paper an advertisement adyIslug
tFat 80 ablebodied men could find
employment at certain address. The
able bodied men, and some whose al
lempts appear able-bodied were pa
thetc. tioCked in numbers to the
place. There they were informed by
the proprietor Of the shop that then
services were not needed, that, In
fact. he had inserted no advertise,
ment, says the indianapolis Star"
Evidently some person burdened with
a peculiar sense OF humor had been
responsible tor sending these men on
their forlorn quest with the idea up.

was playing a good Joke on the sup
posed employer, The joke, if it was
a joke, worked completely The shop
owner was veXed and chagrined, ana
the footsore men turned sadly away.
The humOr of the thing will be seen
at once when it is understood that
some Of these men tramped YEARLY
many blocks, only to meet rebuff,
while others, not able to walk, spent
for car fare the few pennies they had
managed to pinch together for such
an emergency. 1t meant a wasted
day for all of them. 1t meant wasted
hopes for men already, some of them,
near the shoals Of despair. 1t meant
q loss of faith in mankind.
II is unpleasant to think that such
jokers exist, but it is none the less
true that they are to be found here
and there, an incubus on society.
These are the persons who rock the
boat, who point the loaded gun in
fun" who pin crepe on the doors OF
the living, who anonymously insert
false marriage notices, and they are
all of them blood brothers to those

A NATIONAL BUDGET.

T. has taken a long time to get re- port on the bill calling for a budget system in connection with the con duct of the nations business. but it is an important change and for the sake Of wise legislation it may be safer to go slow but sure. The bill as rec commended by the special committee in the house provides for decided changes in the existing method of making gov ernn1ent appropriations. and we'll it does for It is time that the moss-cov- cred system that has been in vogue too long was abandoned and business like methods adopted in dealing with matters of so much importance
 IL is planned under this bill that there shall be a bureau of the budget to have supervision of all requests for appropriations and to cut everything 10 the minimum that there be an in dependent audit of all government re- ceipts and expenditures and that the power of approving appropriations be vested in one house committee of 35 members instead of being handled by several committees.
 It is claimed for the bill that it has been framed with the idea in view of providing greater economy in govern mental expenditure in order to de- crease taxes and pay of the war debt but while everyone wants to see the war dent removed it is perfectly evi- dent that there has been just as much need for a national budget system in the years that have gone as there will be in those that are to come
 T. Is however time that the haphaz- ard manner of doing business under the old method was stopped and an efficient system made to take it's place. If towns. cities and states find it ad- vantageous ir guarding expenditures there Is certainly no reason why il should not be used in connection with the making of appropriations for the nation.
