AdmIrals n History.

The first rear-admirals in the United
States navy were commissioned In
1862, when that rank was created by
net of congress. David Farragut. for
his valor In the Civil war, was made
vice admiral in 1864, and two years

WHEN THE WELL GOES DRY.

The poet who wrote ''You never miss the
water until the well goes dry was phi
8osopher as well as a poet. But the average
citizen at this time has neither his philoso-
ply nor his poetry. He is cognizant only
of the simple fact stated. An orgy of ex
ttaaagance has the country in its grip.
Waste is more commended than economy.
Pride gets the front seat once occupied by
frugality. Riotous revelry in easy wealth
is a national passion. Money is easy to
get and easy to spend. No thought is ia
ken of the sknning of the bills off the roll or
of the consuming checks issued against the
bank deposit.
But when the we'll goes dry the water will
be missed. The waste will be recalled with
lamentations, and the extravaganza will be
mourned in sackcloth and ashes. Those who
have let the opportunities for saving slip
through their fingers will bemoan and cnal-
lenpe the fates that left them stranded

WHY GOVERNMENT DEFICIENCIES.

Congress is constantly passing deficiency
bills to pay government operating expenses
which have been incurred beyond the regu-
lar amounts appropriated in advance.
Debates on the economy policy of congress
have disclosed some of the reasons for these
deficits. Congress makes appropriations fix
ing a specified sum for operating or admins
trative expenses and so much for construct
i've expenses Immediately the bureau or
department charged with the execution OF
the plan creates an organization which re-
quires two or three times as much money
as is appropriated That which is appro-
priated fer construction work cannot be
diverted to the other purpose. and instead OF
the government reducing the size Of the or
ganization it keeps it and incurs an operating
deficit which it asks congress to provide for
by approprating additional funds. That is
the source of the deficiency appropriation,
The public health bureau was created
few years ago. The bill establishing it pro-
vided 100000 for administrative purposes
At once an organization was created which
required double the amount appropriated for
administration Divisions and subdivisions
and sections and subsections were created
All of these required executives, and clerks,
and experts, and directors. When the or
ganization was worked out and put in opera
ton it was twice as large as congress had
intended Then the bureau appeared before
the committees of both houses and asked for
money enough to keep up the top-heavy or
ganzation. If congress had shown enough
backbone to refuse this request as it should,
the bureau would have resorted to rropa-
ganda to get a hearing before the next
A law should be placed on the statute
books providing that when all official incurs
a liability beyond the amount of the leg
islative appropriation he should be pun
ished. That would stop the waste of public
funds which many of the departments re-
gard as matter of course If a department
Or bureau or commission finds it is handi-
capped by lack of funds it should go to con-
gress before mourning deficit. If its pur-
pose is just congress would provide the
money. But not one in ten of these top
heavy departments and bureaus could Justify
he deficits. After they are incurred the
honor of the government is at stake. 1t must
permit itself to be coerced or repudiate its
implied debts. insignificant departments
hus dominate congress and the treasury by
Methods that would not be tolerated in a
business concern. The system so developed
accounts for the armies of clerks and en-
'loyes who cucumber the government pay
oils beyond the needs of efficient admin
stration and consume large portions of the
'eople's money paid in the form of taxes.
And what is true of the national govern
nent is true of the states

She Didn't Know Why
From Golfers Weekly.

The man of the house likes home that
settles into comfortable familiarity; the
woman wants to move the furniture around.
The man wants to be able to get up in pitch
blackness and find his way about; leave it
to the woman and one day, without know
ing why, she will have the piano where the
bookcase was and the table put in the cor
ner occupied perhaps for years by the sofa
When home has grown into maximum COM
fort why does mother explode its arrange
ment in the face of fathers satisfaction and
her own. Is man more creature of ruts
than woman? Is woman more of an erratlc
revolutionary than a man? Probably not,
if she is given an even chance. When one
of these new arrangements of furniture hap
pens at home it is a good occasion for the
old boss to contemplate the fact that he
finds every day field of expression in the
moving world, but that she who placed all
she had upon their long game together may
be is just being little cramped in her self
expression. That is usually the thing that
has blown up during the day. The new ar
rangement of the furniture is worse than
having the fire department in the house. 1t
vastly increases the chances of putting the
fingers in the inkwell while seeking a match,
and of breaking fathers toe; but it should
be hint to him to help furnish something
better than changing the arrangement" to
break mothers streak of monotony.

JOY RIDE TO JOBS.

Day laborers riding to their work in
their own automobiles is a common sight
every day in Dawson, where carpenters are
in demand for the work of improvement
going on in different parts of the city. With
such conditions prevailing it is positively
amusing to read sob stories about oppressed
working classes. Perhaps in time past there
have been cases of laboring people being
overworked in the south, but certainly there
is no longer cause for complaint along that
line. One of the outstanding facts in these
days of unrest is the tendency to shirk a
full days honest toll. There is nothing
like it to steady men and women, white and
black, and to give them wholesome out
look on life. There is work piled up in
Dawson waiting for all who want a job at
high wages. There is law here against
vagrancy, and there are white people as
well as negroes who come dangerously near
violating the statute.

The Old Negro and the New.

A Durham, N. c., firm is showing in a
novel manner that kindly race relations may
be carried over from the old days and adapt
ed to up-to- the-minute business. The Dur
ham Hosiery Mills has just opened q new
factory, which has been named after John
O'Daniel, an old colored man who served
the parents of the mill company's president
in former days with faithfulness which his
white friends feel deserves the recognition
of people of both races
The mill will be operated entirely by
colored labor; and in making this industrial
opening for negroes the company is pro-
viding homes for the workmen of moderate
type, preserving under present conditions
the tradition of an older generation of con-
sideration for its workers
The educational advantages for negroes
in Durham are excellent, owing largely to
the generous interest of Col. Carr, father
of the mill company's president, who is liv-
ing evidence that an old Confederate sol
der may remain a constructive force in his
country's service into green old age.
