Whenever wealth and influence

always easy to convict a poor man.
The wealthy malefactors are The ones

THE -IAxn AGE.

"a prominent divine says" observes the Boston
Transcript, ''the moral code Of today is more Lax tnan
it ever has been. If this remark proves anything, It
proves remarkably weak powers of observation and re.
Election on the part of the doctor Of divinity who ut
tered it. The worlds moral code has been steadily
tightening up, at least for the past one hundred years
Every little while it buckles up a hole tighter. Stand
ards of public and private conduct are higher today
than they ever were before. Even Tammany Hall
tries to walk reasonably straight in order to elect a
mayor about once in three times. Senators and rep
resentatives and other office-holders are required to
keep their hands out of the public funds and remain
sober. Profigates in private life are excluded from
public life, at least to a greater extent than they were
in the last generation. Those in charge of financial
institutions are held to an unprecedentedly, rigid &C
count. Private standards are severe, and the life OF
our towns and villages is cleaner than past days. The
world grows better, not worse.
zone reason why offenses sometimes seem to in
crease is that more fuss is made about them than for
merly. There is less covering up of wickedness than
in the past. The publicity of the press, which GER
tainly holds iniquity in check, is probably the reason
why this particular censor of public morals finds the

BROKE AND READY FOR WORK.

The wage earners have been going it too strong
for the past several years. Their part in the spend
ing orgy has landed many of them on the financial
rocks. In industrial centers wage earners have fur
nished the highest percentage of cases in the bank
ruptcy courts. The big war time earnings have taken
wings and the workers are back to where they be-
gan. Not all, but a very great number of them. They
are busted and sober and ready to go to work again.
This is getting back to normally" They had a high
old time while it lasted and they couldn't believe that
it would not last always. 1t does not seem so long
ago that the aristocracy of labor lorded it over the
plebian employer who was scratching gravel to main.
tain the Substituted worker in his high estate. 1t is
reversed now. Somebody else has the worker
money.
1t is a practical demonstration of just what would
happen if some of the pet socialistic theories were
put into practical operation and the wealth of the
country apportioned. The great majority would be
broke in a short time and those from whom it was
taken in the first instance would have it back again.

which accents for the innovation in the celebration of
the French national fete, Bastile Day. Before the

the bandstands, 600 of them, were there all right but

ACTUAL RETRENcHMENT.

Secretary Weeks of the war department is show
ing practical economy in his department. He is one
member of the administration who is giving evidence
of fulfilling the party pledges to the people by cut
ting down the force and saving payroll money. Since
March, under the retrenchment policy inaugurated by
him the civilian list in the war department has been
reduced 2s,370 persons, representing an annual saw
ing of S25, 40s,S 800 in salaries.
On March there were 9O,106 civilians employed
at Washington and elsewhere. On July l there were
61,736. There will be further reductions the secre-
tary assures the public, by the consolidation of vari-
Gus departments and abandonment of warehouses con-
templated in the general survey now in progress I'M
der the efficiency plans of the administration.
There is exactly the same opportunity in all the
other departments of the government for economy
equal to that shown by Secretary Weeks and it is
highly necessary that it be seized. Every department
was overloaded during the wsr and emp .oyes became
so numerous that they fairly fell over one another.
Regard for expense was the last thought to enter the
heads of subordinates exercising authority. All of
this sort of thing should have been pulled up short
long ago.
Secretary Weeks has pointed the way. Let others
follow his lead.

Well, every little bit helps. The curfew whistle
now blows for one minute instead of three minutes.
Not much relief, but still some. Maybe with time,
patience, sweet oil and prayers We may get the old dis
turber of the peace whitfield down to the vanishing
point If the city council only knew what a bless
ing it would be comforting upon the people generally
and what a relief to nervous folks it would be, we
believe the order to discontinue the foolish whistle
blowing would be given at once.
If there must be a curfew signal, make it a still
alarm. Have the power company flash the news to
the children by turning off the current for a second
and repeat it even a second and third time. Thev

If the Republican majority in congress desires to
get into trouble with the party it will adopt the New
England idea of protection for everything produced
by New England and free trade for everything pro-
duced in other sections of the country" The presi-
dent seems to have been stung by the idea SO far as
oil is concerned and to have prevailed upon the house
to accept his view. At least the house after placing
q rate of 1925 on crude and fuel oils reversed itself
and struck the duty from the proposed tariff bill.
Of course the bill is not completed and there is con-
siderable debate to be had in the house and a whole
lot more in the senate. The whole works may be
changed before it is sent to the president to be signed.
The oil states will desire to know where the presi-
dent gets his inspiration in oil matters, especially, and
since when he has revised the party's doctrine on tar
if matters as well as the opinions he himself has here
tofore held on that important subject.
