HOME SERVICE WORK,

Whenever the Salvation Army puts forth it's plea for assistance it is not of ten that it is disregarded. The work of this well known organization is too well known, and the good that it is doing daily too valuable for those outside of its membership not to be interested in helping maintain it in all branches.
 The Salvation Army is engaged in labor of love, doing it's utmost for the uDiift of mankind and dealing with
 those who need the kindly miRistra tion
 and the word of cheer and encourage ment that they carry.
 Full appreciation can be given to the words of Compander Evangeline Booth when she says: ''The motto of the Sal vatien Army Is to see and to save that which is lost We specialize in the impossible and laugh at mems hopeless- ness concerning their fellows. Our work is for the lowest classes in the lowest places. for the city's breakage wastes and wrecks."
 Since the war the Salvation Army has endeavored to get it's affairs upon a diff ferent basis. It has undertaken the task of carrying on it's work under a bud get system and of opening it's year with
 campaign for home service require ments instead of trying to depend upon the uncertainties that go with contribu- | tions solicited throughout the year. While the Salvation Army did not spring into prominence through the war the sacrificing service that it renders was fully emphasized at that time. It works 1 in a field that is broad and to which few others are attracted. Its attentions
 are constant and inspiring. They go
 where duty calls and 1t is only proper i that they should have the means of ren- dering the service that the conditions
 they uncover call for. Such faithful
 and trustworthy agency cannot fail to
 secure the public support to which it is entitled. The appeal which is made in behalf of it's work cannot therefore fail
 to result in 2. generous response in each
 and every community. If going lover | the top" was warranted in other di- rections 1t should certainly apply in
 connection with the support of the Sal
 vation Army

ODD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAS
 HISTORY
THE DAsHING CAPTAIN KIDD

At the beginning of the eighteenth century the colonists were very much stirred up over the adventures of the many pirates who ravaged our coasts, most notable of whom were Capt. Will liam Kidd. Kidd was a Scotch navi- gator, who early in life became ia nous as a priNateerman. Cruising off the American coast, he did gallant service for the colonies in the Franco English wars, and afterwards swept the waters around New York free of the pirates who in those days infest ed the coast. For this latter feat the New York council voted him, in 1891, a reward of $50.
 It was a few years after this that a syndicate was formed for the al legged purpose of destroying piracy. Among the heads of the syndicate were the Earl of Bellemont, royal gov ernor of New York and Massachu- sets; Robert Livingston, the rich New York merchant and land owner, and no less a person able than William III, of England. The syndicate's a. vowed plan was to send an expedition to the seas most infested by pirates; to capture and destroy all pirate ships that could be found and to bring home whatever treasures these ships might l contain.
 i Robert Livingston looked about him | for a fitting leader for this VirIuous ] expedition. His choice fell upon Kid i whom he described to Bellemont as a worthy and honest man. The syndi- cate fitted out a 287-ton galley, the AdventQrer, carrying thirty cannon l Kidd recruited 154 men, mostly from 1 New York, and set forth on his career i as pirate exterminator. It had been | broadly hinted from time to time that Kidd's secret orders from the syndi- cate gave him even greater leeway and that he acted throughout on those secret orders.
 For a time no definite news came 1 from Capt. Kidd. Then all Europe and America was electrified by the tidings | that he had actually turned pirate and was footing and sinking the honest l merchant ships he met. The clamOi
 that everywhere arose caused King 1 William Bellemont, Livingston ano knowledge in so heinOus a crime When Kidd, therefore, came to Bos- | ton in 1899, having stopped first al | Gardiners Island to deposit some Urea sure, and later at Oyster Bay, L
 l., to get 8 lawyer, he was arrested
 and sent to London. There, after { trial, where the grossest unfairnes; | pfeNalled, and where ne was allowed
 to make no defence, he was sentenced
 to death, and on May 24, 1701, wa.
 hanged with nine of his crew.

STOPPING DEFICIENCIES.

Most timely is the eommunica ton which has been directed to the members of the cabinet by President Harding wherein lfe- calls to their attention the estimates before congress seeking ap- propriations for approximately s216,90O,- GOO 70 make up for instances where there has been a failure to keep within previous appropriations and the indica- tions that the deficiencies will run far beyond that sum.
 He cannot lay too much emphasis up- s9 the fact that there is no more dan -ercus tendency in the administration of governmental departments than the ~lnclination 10 spend money in excess of what has been approved and then look to- a succeeding session of congress to make up the difference.
 OT1is habit Of making use of money or purposes not intended and permit ing those for which it was intended to 20 without under the expectation of get ting an additional appropriation be- cause of deficiencies needs to be prompt ly squclched and in the case of the present administration, which is now dealing with deficiencies of it's predeces- sors, the intention is to stop it before lt starts. Thus when the president asks the department heads to direct bureau chiefs SO that such conditions may be avoided in the future results are to be expected.
 Strict accountability is the slogan that must henceforth prevail in regard to tht use of appropriations. The wild orgy ot spending money must be brought to 2 close It js useless for an sdmiRistra ton to put forth plea for economy i there is to he no attention paid to keep ing down the expenditures. This wal a point made by Secretary Mellon in z recent communication.
 Estimates have been cut in. many in stances because congress desired to saw the money. Ii therefore behooEes tn respective departments to so regulat their business as 10 keep within them and not to continue to spend regardless of the amount appropriated.

Just why there should have been 50 much regard for the feelings of the Bergdoll family in connection with giv- ing publicity to the release of Grover C.
