ADAM AND EVE.

ADAM AND EVE.
Adam and Eve had no father
Or mother or other relations,
Wlch proves that everything has to
have a start
Before it gets eny variations.
Adam was the ferst persin in the werld
Of eny size or gender.
And he sed, Il don't see cny she stores
Wat of its My feet amt tender"
Eve was the End persin in the werld
And the ferst you could call Madam,
And she sed, "Its wonder I'm so COM
Portable.
Being made from a rib out of Adam. >
And they went and married each other.
Because there was nobody elts Ground,
And for vile they was perfeekly hap
pv,
And they both felt safe and sound.
They lived in the Gar1in of Eden.
Ware all the wild beests was tame.
And their house was short and venti-
lated,
And the clothes they wore was the
same.
Then Eve went and ate appel,
WITCH was strickly not allowed,
And jest for that they was both put
out,
Wawking fast but proud.

In the Days News.

a man almost unknown to the British
people a few months ago, but who now
looms large in the public eye is Stuart
Burning, who owes his present wide repu-
tation largely to the address he delivered
before the recent session of the Trade
Union congress, of which he is president.
Burning has long been one of the strong
men in the British Labor party, but he
has ever avoided publicity. His career
has been varied and interesting. Years
ago he was penniless and tramped the
country He worked as waiter, post
man, and also tried stage life Then be
helped to form the Postmans' union and
so made his entry into labor politics. Now
his admirers prophesy that if a Labor
cabinet is formed in Great Britain the
one-time waiter is sure to become post.

Although the house passed the bud,
get bill, reported by Chairman Good of
the special committee named to pre-
pare it. by the overwhelming vote of
2S3 to 3, the country is far from a real
budget. This bill has not been taken
up by the senate committee yet and it
is expected the senate budget commit
tee will report an entirely new bill
There are some weak points in the
bill passed by the house In the first
piece it does not give the country a
budget but more officials to investigate
and report budget two years hence
Then the Good bill allows appropria
tion bills TO be referred to the seven
committees of the house which could
modify the appropriations without re-
gard to the budget report. Congressman
Good made an unsuccessful attempt to
have the appropriation bills all referred
to a large central committee which
could pass upon the appropriations as
a whole which would centralize respon-
sibility in an effective way but the
house refused to accept it. There are 147
members of the house who serve on ap
preparation committees and they would
not give up their power to dispense
public money.
The senate committee is said to favor
something more definite. It favors
making the secretary of the treasury
purely financial officer to whom all
estimates of expenditures would be re-
ferred the same as they are at pres
ent. They would have him empowered
to revise, coordinate and reduce es
Inmates of expenditures offered by the
bureau and departmental chiefs. He is
charged with the responsibility of rails
ing revenues to pay the expenditures
but has no voice in limiting the expen-
ditures.
Senator Mccormick, chairman of the
committee would have the secretary of
the treasury devote his whole time to
the duties of financial administration
and make it imperative upon him to
become familiar in detail with the
financial operations of the government.
At the cabinet meetings he would be
the minister interested in cutting down
expenditures as his department would
not be a spending department, he could
not be accused of cutting down one
department or another for the benefit
OF the treasury. The President, of
course, would control the financial poI
icy, but the secretary of the treasury.
as minister of finance, would collect and
possess all information as to probable
revenues and proposed expenditures to
assist the President The President in
no way would escape responsibility for
the financial program presented to
congress, any more than he now ESCAPES
responsibility for the policies of the
state department. Senators also insist
there should be economy now and that
the only way to get it is TO establish a
budget system based on full executive
responsibility for estimates, together
with power to revise estimates down.
ward
The senate plan seems the more eff
fective and desirable but it will take a
long time for the senate to act upon
such a bill. While one may still hope
for real economy measure in the form
of budget, it can hardly be expected
at the present session of congress.
