Patience and Economy.

The people Of the United States will
have to exercise patience as respects
the mandate they have Just issued. II
cannot be executed all at once. Time
Is most necessary element in the
case. There is much to be done. Some
new courses will have to be shaped
We shall not be travelling q familiar
ana well-marked highway.
Taxes are stressed. They are un-
precedently high. No such figures
have ever been known in this country
before.
Waste and extravaganza are stressed.
They have marked our path for nearly
four years. The story in some de-
tails is staggering; and unwelcome de-
velopments continue.
And 30 the cry is raised: Taxes must
be lowered, and all waste and extrava-
gance cut out. The governments IN
come must be reduced. and its outlay
fashioned to At the slender wallet.
All wise enough and wen. but the
order cannot be filled while you wait.
The situation grows out of the great
est war in history, and our entrance
in a discreditable state Of unprepared-
ness. Hence the burden of taxes and
the colossal appropriations.
The question is not that Of merely
applying pruning-kn The steel
must be applied judiciously. The gov
eminent must be adequately suDported
The republicans win do much. and
deserve support, II they make an in
telligent start. and show by the steps
they take that they are headed in the
right direction and intend to keep on
keeping on.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY pH1LANDER JOHNSON.

Perntcious Inactivity.
When the crouch begins to gather
On a bleak November day,
And you feel discouraged, rather,
As to work and also play,
When the tint Of all creation
Save the sky above seems blue.
There's a simple explanation;
You have not enough to do.
For the minutes grow rheumatic
When they ought to dance along.
And life seems all problematic
With the answers mostly wrong:
Human speech is empty chatter,
And there's nothing really new
When the secret Of the matter
Is not having things to do.
