Tomorrow, friday is the occa-
sion Of one of our nations most
sacred holidays-Decoration Day.
It is surprisingly important because,
aside from its elevating sentiment,
the manner in which it is observed is
indicative of the depth of the nation
nj spirit. 1t is not a holiday, in the
sense that it is time for indulgence
in pleasure. 1t is rather time when
we should turn from selfish pleas
ures and pursuits to thoughtful and
grateful contemplation of the hero
ism of those who offered their lives
as sacrifice upon the altar of their
country and who have entered into
eternal rest When the nation for
gets its heroic sons who are dead,
when it forgets to honor those of
them who are living, it will be giving
evidence of the decay that presages

consume profits and serve as deter
rent to enterprise. Public funds ex-
pended for education and construct
i've purposes are a means of general
benefit and progress, but wasted for
useless administrative purposes they
are a curse and source of corruption.
What a free and intelligent people,
such aswe claim to be, need are broad
fundamental laws insuring the propa-
cation of learning and equality of
opportunity tan honest chance) aided
by whatever science may be able to
impart. When these basic principles
are established the people should be,
and desire to be, as free from official
supervision as possible. Right now
in the governmental departments
thousands Of persons are engaged in
compiling statistics that will never
be put to any real constructive use,
and the people not having the means
of knowing about it, wonder why
their tax burdens increase, and keep
on footing the bills. At the last
session of the legislature, as a sample
of the laws that drain the public
treasury, bill was passed continuing
the official existence of the State
Constabulary, a force of military
police which came into existence as
a result of the war The expense
connected with this organization, if
we are correctly informed, will be
about eight hundred thousand dollars
per annum, a tidy sum, equalling,
probably, one third of the total ex-
penses of the state government dur
ing the most expensive year of the
Civil war. Michigan got along with
out this force for years, we have
complete police organization outside
it, and its retention, we hold, was an
error. The people must learn to
study things of this kind, study them
from standpoint of business, rather
than that of political expediency, and
see to it that governmental extrava-
gance is curtailed and that some of
the strengthening privileges of init
iative are left open for their enjoy
ment.

COMPARATIVELY SPEAKING

A hen nowadays sells for as much
as fifty pound shoat brought ten
years ago. A fifty pound shoat sells
for-well, nobody will sell him be-
cause he is going to be, ere long, a
200 pound hog, worth as much as a
cow was worth ten years ago. A cow
is worth as much as a horse was
ten years ago. A horse is worth as
much, as an automobile. Therefore
the farmer who has some hens, some
cows, some horses and an automobile
is not the Rusticus of old, but the
lucky cuss of reation.-Exchange.

disintegration. May that day never

One of the real problems that will
or at least should engage the atten-
ton of the statesmen and electorate
of our country, for the next few
years, is that of shaking thousands of
office holders loose from the multi
tudinous jobs that have been created
as result of the exigencies of war.
In the history of our country it has
been one of the easiest things in the
world to create an Office and one of
the hardest things to abolish one.
Some excuse is always trumped up
to continue an opportunity of fatten-
ing at the public crib. Meanwhile,
the expenses of government are
growing at an appalling rate. Taxes
