PUSHING THE BUDGET.

Many matters are being pressed for carly action in congress. It is inpossi- hle to deal with them all at once but both houses seem to be impressed with the magnitude of the job before them and are putting forth well directed ef- forts for the accomplishment of their work early<and consistently.
 In this connection it is to be noted that there has been repoEted this early to both houses measures for the estab- lishment of national budget system diff fering somewhat in character but for the most part along the same lines and with the probability that there will be little difficulty experienced in reaching an agreement when the time comes. Under the senate bill the budget bu- reau would be placed in the treasury de- partment, while in the house bill it is placed in no executive department, but it is provided in both bills that the direc. tor and the assistant for the bureau sha1 be named by the president and that thu bureau shall provide for the president under his direction the budget, an alter native budget and any supplemental ol deficiency estimates that may be pre- sented, and shall have authority to in crease or decrease the estimates from tht several departments.
 It is also noted that the bills carry that provision that the controller genera and the assistant controller shall holt office during good behavior and be re moved only by concurrent action of con gress for inefficiency, neglect or malfeas ance. It was this provision that causet President Wilson to veto the bill whicl was passed by congress last spring. | Budget legislation has long been urged The effort to get the national governmen to place itself upon as businesslike basis as large corporations would ha been an uphill one It has been widel endorsed but difficult to secure actiol upon. With the two bills in the respec tive houses of congress so similar ther should require no great amount of tim to iron out the differences and provid for something that has long been need ed.

MR. RRYAN,s IDEA.

That William Jennings Bryan should show resentment over the fact that li- uuor is being brought into this country from the island Gr Rirni:i aboIt 40 miles oc the coast of loridA is aor surpris- Ing. Mir. Bryan IS somewnat of an ar- Gent advocate of rroni oitioa and when this island off he coast of Florida is used as a distribution station fo: snug gling it into this country it comes pretty riose home to Mir. Bryan since he has a liking for Florida during part oE the year.
 It is an interesting claim which he makes however in declaring that inas- much as Bimini belongs to Great Brit ain that country ought to be held rezpon- sihle for liquor that is brought into this country. In other words even though prohibition does not exist on the island and our prohibition law does not have any effect there he seems 10 think that he British should set net and stoE All liquor leaving that island in the di- ection of the United States. That ei sourse would be a great benefit to the enforcement officials of this country though Great Britain has pretty gooS reason for believing that if we do no favor the manufacture. distribution am ale Of liquor it is our duty to stop tn;
 juggling.
 The bringing of liquor into the countr!
 m Bimini is of course unlawful. But
 dates the law of the United State and the enforcement therefore rests witt as, quite the same as it does from an. other country, especially when those Wh are engaged in the traffic are Ameri -ans.
 It would certainly be a grand goo ming if we could rely upon other coun tries to protect us against the smugglin 2f liquor or in fact any other commcdi ty that is in violation of the law an hold them responsible for every bit c E that is brought in on ships or owe he borders. It is hardly probable tha Nr. Bryan expects any such thing.

GuARpINa THE MATLs.

Uncle Sam has lost heavily because of the raids that have been made upon the mails. With little or no trouble uail- lions at a time have been stolen, the highwaymen apparently being posted as to when large sums might be expected and they have done the hold-up and get away act repeatedly. The recovery of a certain amount of the losses placed the check upon the robberies in way to create confidence in the use of the mail for sending large sums, and it is only what is to be expected when the post office department sets out to give a high CT degree of protection.
 Just how this is going to be done ia not definitely determined. That it will be tried out by employing soldiers to guard those who are handling the mails seems probable. From such instructions ass have been given to the Chicago post master 1t is evident that the postoffice' de- partment is convinced of the necessity ot making a determined and effective move and is desirous of seeing how the plan of guards works out in that city before actually adopting it as a fixed policy.
 When mail robbers are able to gel away with six million dollars in veal it is time for action. That it will cost something to maintain the guards is per fectly evident but it is far better tha there should be an expenditure equiva lent to the losses sustained through rob berries, or even larger, if the thefts car be stopped than to leave the money un guarded and subject to the demand 0 highwaymen.
 Thus there are reasons to believe tha ] the test which is to be made at Chicag | will permit of the department reaching decision as to the efficiency of the plal and the extent to which guards vii have to be employed in order to convinc those inclined to indulge in holdups tha it is an unprofitable1 and an unhealth business The department apparentl. recognizes that the quicker the protec ton is afforded the quicker will the we organized gangs of robbers be broken u and the safety of the mails brought. bac
 to normalcy.
