The Battle of the Budget.

Gen. Dawes mas IOuEhl many pde
ties in an active lifetime. An out
standing characteristic Of his tactics
in each fray has been . readiness
nay, an eaSernesS-tO take the or
fensive. to carry the fight to the oppo-
sition. to smash and drive relentlessly
toward the objective which is his. His
consistent success is no doubt at
tributSble to the consistency OF his
methods 1t is a standard military
maxim that, though you may stave
off defeat by defense. offense is essen
tial to victory.
Yesterday Gen. Dawes. opening ma
Tor operations in the Battle OF the
Budget. entered upon what bids fair
to be the most famous engagement OF
his fighting career. Running true to
form. he struck hard blows. blows that
bruised and smashed and weakened
the enemy he proposes to defeat-ex-
cessive governmental expenditure. His
attack was admirably directed. He
pounded away with his big guns at the
enemy's strong points, at the lack Of
cooperation toward economy. at the
pandering to an archaic system Of
political patronage. at the tendency to
expect some one else to do the cutting.
at the proneneSs to seek all that Con-
gress can be cajoled into appropri-
ating for each bureau. and at the
habit of spending all and more than
ha baap od that tho .sSnopd,
ing money" of ones own bureau may
not be decreased the next year.
Having himself served as the chief
Of bureau. Gen. Dawes knew where
Of he spoke. and it is interesting to
note that his single inclination toward
profanity in the course of his vigorous
speech was inspired by some memory
that came to him in connection with
his work in that capacity.
Gen. Dawes. director of the budget.
has made an excellent start in the
huge task he has undertaken. The
unprecedented business meeting" Of
the administrative branch of the gov
ernment has placed the matter square

cost of government in the immediate
future, Upon the heads Of depart
ments and the bureaus Of the depart
ments depends, in the final analysis,
the task Of halting steadily mounting
expenses, of reducing those expenses.
that the pledges Of the administration
to the American public may be made
good. Gen. Dawes. aware that that
fact must be indelibly impressed upon
the minds Of all concerned if his effort
Is to succeed. has met the issue as an
American soldier would naturally
meet it-uncompromisin two-tist-

Soldiers and Socialists.

Disabled veterans Of the world war,
delegates to a convention at Detroit,
served notice yesterday upon the So
cialist party. also in convention there.
that they had no sympathy whatever
with the socialist attitude toward the
nation and the government. The visit
of the veterans was a wholly uncon-
ventional procedure. Usually If one
national organization disagrees with
another it merely expresses itself in
resolution. These ex-soldiers, how
ever, felt that a closer contact was
necessary, and so they marched over
to the socialists hall and their spokes-
man said:
We are not interested in economic
or political conditions. but we have
come here with the understanding
that some one in this convention as
serted that the red flag was the only
tas and that the socialist party In
tended to use il az an emblem. There
can be only one flag in this country.
and that Is the Stars and Stripes ANY
remarks to the contrary will be con-
sidered treasonable and seditious.
Furthermore. IL there is any one here
who entertains any thoughts or ideas
Of revolution or Of using force let
him step out and settle the matter
right here. Today, tomorrow. or at
any time: the disabled veterans are
ready. We speak not alone for the
disabled veterans. but for all other
veterans and patriotic citizens. We
are not here to convert you. but 70
warn you that all steps Of force will
be met by force"
The chairman Of the socialists re-
piled. His remarks were not as happy
as those which he answered. He said:
Our convention is opposed to war.
If the socialist party had been sue
ceSsful throughout the world there
would have been no war You have
suffered. but we also have suffered.
Our comrades have been imprisoned
speech"
ton of disabled veterans agreed in
opposition to war. No man came out
Of that European inferno, hurt or
whole. but with a horror Of the waste
those men at Detroit voice the doctrine
that. whether war Is right or war is
wrong. there can be but one flag. And
just SO there can be only contempt for
those who seek to measure the suffer
ings Of the men who obeyed the call
to duty and were broken in the fight
with the socalled sufferings Of those
who violated the laws Of the country
and tried to bring about defeat for our
arms and disaster to the men who
bore them.

A By-Election Result.

Tuesday special congressional cleo
ton was held in the third Michigan
district. which is normally republican
by substantial majority. In the
lightest vote in the districts history,
the republican candidate led his demo-
cratic opponent by over $500.
There is nothing noteworthy here
except the fact that if there has been
any change of sentiment since Novem-
Der it has not taken place in this
Michigan district. The republicans are
still easily masters Of the situation.
Last year they carried the Wolverine
state by over 100000 majority.
But why should there have bsen any
change of sentiment in Michigan or
anywhere? The republicans have just
begun their task. They went to 1t
right away. Except for the Presi-
dents summons, Congress would not
have met until December. AS it is.
that body has been functioning for
nearly three months, and in that time
transacted much important business
and laid foundations for more.
The test Of what has been done and
what is to follow will come later. This
time twelve months hence it may be
possible to get a fairly accurate line
on popular judgment respecting the
redemption of republican promises.
The people are probably not as i'm.
patient as has been represented. They
are not without knowledge Of what
Congress Is facing. or of sympathy
with lawmakers wrestling with va.
riety of difficult problems. Let Con.
gress take courage from this Michigan
result and proceed with assurance that
it is going to have a fair and square
deal.

The Seniority Rule.

Mr.. Ansorge, at the head Of what Is
called "the kid movement" in the
House, says. in justification Of the
stand he and his friends have taken:
Il have discussed the situation with
many Of the new members. They be-
ieve that a meeting of the new MEM
bers from time to time and frank
discussion may serve a useful purpose
and can certainly do no harm
Tho seniority rule discriminates
against the new man, and with the
cumbersome procedure and the rules
committee intervening between them
and legislation they feel that they
have little or no voice in legislation -

Conversational Security.
Though great affairs may be on hand,
The climate always takes command,
And men of high and low degree
United in one thought we see.
The sage, the toiler and the clown,
In rural ways or in the town,
Will drop his business to say.
My friend, it's very warm today"
One fact admitting Of no doubt
Is given US to talk about
In tones Of honest discomfort
Which cannot start an argument,
One which both foolish men and wise
Can mention while they sympathize.
The old remark leads none astray,
my friend, it's very warm today"

Women and Practical Politics.

There is an unexpected frankness
about the action of the republic state
committee of Pennsylvania in delib-
erately declaring women ineligible
for its highest three ofhces-chalr-
man, secretary and treasurer. NOW
adays, with the newly created femi-
nine vote so important factor IN
have been all too prone to bestow
sloppy and unmeaning praise upon
the political acumen Of women. all too
ready to offer the shadow while with
holding the substance. Republlcan
women in Pennsylvania are not only
denied the substance. but are not even
offered the shadow.
Save for the states where women
have long exercised the franchlse;
women are allowed but little real
power in political organizations:
There is much bunkum spilled about
sharing the control with women, but
when it comes down to facts the
women have to content themselves
with minor parts. That the republic
an state committee of PennsylVahla
should sweep aside this bunkum ana
show its hand openly is surprising
enough. and all the more so when

what position the young lady will be
assigned will depend upon the apti-

a very attracting voice seems to be
the compelling feature of her quail

than the drudgery of a printing shop.
