The pains that they might have missed
And lie where the blossoms, adjoining
The field, care and trouble arc scorninE
And awake with the first blush OF morning
Ny cheeks by the fresh dew kissed
Aye. tho it is storming or shining
stop not for useless repinns-
There is nauSht in complaining or whining
TO appeal to the heart that's free;
But Nature and l drink the sweetness

Economy, but Not Too Much

Mo honest fault can be found with the gen
eral scheme of economy which the Re-
publican leaders Of the House and Senate are
advertising. 1t is their duty to prevent the
expenditure of a single unnecessary dollar;
TO cut down appropriations wherever it may
be both possible and expedient and to pave
the way for reduction of the taxation bur-
dens under which any other nation in the
world than America would be actually stag
gering.
Sincere efforts which the new appropria-
lions committees may make in these direc-
tions will be gratefully approved by the
American people. and there can be no doubt
that many fruitful opportunities for economy
VIII present themselves TO the legislators as
they proceed with their work. There are GER
tainy many spigots and perhaps few bung-
holes that may successfully be stopped and
that without incapactating any departm ent
OF the government in carrying out it's normal
functions.
This sudden passion for economy must not
read the Republican committeeman too far.
The obvious desire to reduce "Democratic''
expenditures for the sole purpose of creating
an artificial contrast between the OUTLAWS of
last year and the year before, and the outlays
Oh the current year, is not in itself good
statesmanshp good politics or good policy
Such contrast would have come in any
! event. If the present minority in Congress
nau neen the majority, it would have found
every practicable means of contracting the
public expenditures. That may be taken for
granted
II the Republicans now feel that there
should be no public buildings appropriations
TINS year and few, if any, river and harbor
appropriations, 1t will be their privilege TO
disappoint the widespread local interests
which have counted on these things, but no
necessary national interest must be starved
by the new Congress The army and navy
! must not be pnched for money during the
+, processes OF rehabilitation and reorganiza-
tion The railroads must be financed and
their owners must be protected in the legis-
lat!on handing the properties back 1t was
! the government which took these properties,
| and 1t Is the government which must make
! good their return Economy may be prac-
| tced, and should be practiced wherever prac-
| tcable, but there must be no sacrifice OF ef-
| fciency on the part of the functioninr de.
