MOTHERS DAY.

Last Sunday, the day set apart in
tribute to the mothers of our nation,
was observed in our city in decidedly
creditable manner.
There were special services IN most
of the churches, the Congregational and
Methodist in particular. Red and white
carnations were in evidence everywhere
red for the living, white for the dead.
Many mothers hearts were cheered
with beautiful flowers, cards and mass
sages from loving sons and daughters
which were appreciated beyond power
of expression by the recipients.
Each year the observance of this day
keeps growing in expressions of love
for mother. the foundation of pure
homes and righteous government.
And well it may.

The story of the death of George,

NO MORE BUREAU DEFICITS.
Chicago Tribune.


The President deserves and will get
prompt applause and heartfelt thanks
from heavily burdened people for
placing a firm executive foot on the
bureau deficiency habit. Nothing coud
be more obnoxious to good business
method than the practice of spending
more than the bureaus have. m eXpecta-
tion of having the deficit made up,
as it must be, by succeeding congresses
No private business would tolerate
such a system and could not survive it,
The Presidents order is further
indication Of his determination to put
more business in government. If we
can get the budget system established
and administrative machinery and
methods modernized, many millions
will be saved The saving is, in such
times as these. not merely acceptable
but necessary. If accomplished, it
will be one of the outstanding accom-
phshments in the record of the
