GONE

The editor of The Journal heard an in
sistent and irresistible call from the
Great Out of-Doors and has gone on his
vacation to a little lake in the
woods to camp just back from the shore,
beneath the pine trees, to hear them sigh
when the furious tempest smites them
and to hear them whisper with delight
when the soft warm winds breath upon
them; to be Weakened by the song of
birds; to spend care-free days; to listen
to the after-supper melody of the song
sparrow; to hear in the nighttime the
booming voice of the owl, the wild cry of
She loon and, mayhap, the sharp yelping
of the fox.

AT LAST

The Navy Department is turning its
attention to getting rid of its useless
property. Within few weeks three old
battleships, four cruisers and two gun
boats have been condemned. The men
who have acted as keepers have been as
signed to other duties, the furnishings of
the ships have been taken out and the
hulls are being stripped of everything of
value which can be removed. A Phila-
delphia firm has bought 112 submarine
chasers which will be used as speedy
carriers of freight in coastwise trade and
in West Indian waters. The department
owns numerous parcels of real estate for
which it has no use, and several of these
have not been used for more than half
century All these will be sold.
The War Department has relinquished
war leases on properties on which the
government was paving rental of S127,-
900 year. The bureaus engaged in war
activities have been compelled to 60 out
of business and the civilian payroll of
the department has been reduced several
million dollars. Attorney General
DauQherty has reduced the number of
special assistants in the Department of
Justice and special assistants of the Bu-
reau of Investigation to an extent which
will save half million dollars a year.
The appropriations made for the current
fiscal year total about four million dol
lars After consultations between the
heads of departments, Mr.. Dawes, Direc
tor of the Budget has announced that
economies will be practiced which will
save about SIP, GOO, goo. 1t has been the
almost universal practice of government
bureaus to spend all the money appro
priated for them, and, too often, good
sized sum more. The present generation
has not seen the day when real economy
and real efficiency in the administration
of national affairs was so much needed
as they are at the present time.
