 i The Hewins residence on East Wash ! ington street was a bower of spring | blossoms and greenery, arranged witt 1 charming effect.

 Promptly at l:30 o'clock the strains 1 Of Lohengrin. played by Miss Frances Elliot. announced the approach of the bride and her attendants.

The Governor and Expenditures

In the pulling and hauling to take power out of the hands of the governor thing appears have been overlooked the responsibility the expenditure of the states funds The governor is always held re- sponsibe for this expenditure. That is when very large amount has been expended without what in the popular belief sufficient results the administra- ton Of the is said to have been exravagant and wastefu when. a matter of fact he had little control over expenditures. great many accusations of extravaganza were thus made against Governor Hunt though during part of his long .admnistra- ton much money spent of which he had m control.
 The control Of the governor in many cases ends as he has affixed his signature to bills carrying appropriations
 That is the moment of his real responsibility. If appropriations extrsvagant the governor then IS as much to blame is the legislature which put Up the bills to him. governor, we believe should scrutnze with the greatest every carry ing appropriations and with microscopic care all ap- proprations which pass beyond his control. For as have said whether he is responsible for their ex penditure or not. the populace will hold him re- sponsibe.

Our Business Government

Postmaster General Burleson has announced that where telephone exchanges do not pay expenses and
 fair dividend they will be closed as it is not the policy Of the government to do a losing business It may be presumed that such exchanges were not doing a losing business before the government took them over, otherwise their private owners would have dis continued them So tho closing of them would be re- sarded a reflection upon the governments capacity for doing business.
 But dsmssing that matter We are sure that the postmaster general is in stating that it is not the policy Of the government 10 continue a losing business From a financial point Of view every tune ton of the government is a losing business If they were all paying businesses there would be no taxes; we would all live and thrive the profits accruing rom the operations or the government. We wold all be dviderd-receivcrs instead Of taxpayers
 The postoffce itself for many years was a steadily losing business and suppose that if the truth were Anown and the bookkeeping the postal department was like any other bookkeeping earth it would be shown that it is still losing business The railroads have been heavily losing business under the manage ment Of the government Everything the government touches becomes a losing business
 The government is the worst business director ii, Inc whole world It knows nothing about business 1T peanut stand was conducted with SO little regard for the ordinary rules Of business it would not last week.

A Tactical Mistake

It is generally believed that the democrats in the senate made fatal mistake for the party when they turned down the woman suffrage resolution Though some of the republican senators voted against the resolution much larger number of them voted for it too that the senate is democratic counts against party.
 The Dslhsrt Texan commenting on the vote says The opponents (of the resoution) may well rejoice this victory for it will be their last Not than more presidential election will pass until the country will witness the enfranchisement of women @ par with This is should be-"
 The Galveston News, thoroughly democratic is moved 10 remark by the foregoing:
 That a republican congress will "emancpate" woman is the general expectation. It is too good reelected by the votes of California women. but his party has declared in effect through the votes of democratic senators, that the California women ought to be disfranchsed. If the ballot is not proper in strumeut for the hands of American as a whole t is impropriety in the hands California women therefore the action Of democratic senators voting against submission of the suffrage amendment was tantamount to condemnation of the fair Californans who made Woodrow Wilson president. It is not an agreeable prospect to most democrats, that of the likelihood of the opposition party again coming into popular acclaim as the great emancpator." That will incline favorably toward the party which made them voters is reasonably to be expected And national election in the may be carried for the republicans by women voters.
