CLEARING AND PRUNING

At last Congress may be said to be
thoroughly awake. The announce
ment OF the treasurys condition and
the assurance that every member
will have to go back to his consti-
tuents with pledges for economy UNI
fulfilled unless something is done to
reduce expenditures may well arouse
him to consciousness of a predica
ment.
The cut which was planned at the
conference with the President is in
some ways a drastic one. The hun
dred millions taken from the Ship
ping Board will leave it high and dry
so far as carrying out all that was
proposed and the like amount taken
from the War department may be
found cramping. Some suggest that
uniting this and the Navy department
under one head would make tho saw
ing possible without detriment We
do not see why it would not be posi-
BILE to do this, and do it to advantage
of the service, which is not likely to
be affected by war for several years,
anyway
Those who wish to secure congress
sional assistance for a pet project, an
appropriation for this or that, will
have to run the gauntlet Of a grim,
hard pressed Congress standing be-
tween the devil of necessity and the
deep sea of oblivion. Vigorous steps
have been taken to clear away the
deadwood and now comes the order
to prune every unnecessary branch.
Sacrifices will have to be made. Some
injury may be done but it is safe to
assume much more of benefit will be
gained. But it is a tremendous task
requiring courage Of high order
and meriting intelligent approval
from every citizen.

Henry Z. Dunnack of Augusta, State
librarian. Mr.. Dunnack in his usual
happy manner led his audience by
easy and humorous stages TO the gist
| of his message, which was most
timely and inspiring. He began by
saying that there is a great deal of
talk in these days about germs and
i'contagion, SO much that according
to all rules of logic everyone should
have persisted long ago, and the rea-
SON so many of us are still living is
that we haven't sense enough to
realize the situation. Contagion
works also in the mental realm. and
there is nothing so contagious as
opinion. If we take seriously every
thing that is written in certain books
by Einstein, II. G.. Wells and others.
we are forced to believe that BUSH
ness. education, America. the world,
the universe and even religion have
all gone to ruin in one great holo-
cautS. But when We escape from
the contagion of pessimistic opinion
and stop tosconsider the situation
calmly we find that God still lives.
the universe. the world and our in
stitutions still exist and in many
ways are better than ever before.
Remember that there are more
germs which make for life than
those which make for death.
A good motto for the time is BUY"
Buy America with her golden oppor-
tunities. Get behind her and make
her take the place she should among
the nations. Buy business. Now is
the time to bug instead of waiting to
see what is going to happen. Buy ed
ucation: our system and our teachers
were never so good as now. Buy re-
ligion; no structure of commerce. in
dustry or government can endure ex-
ccpt it be built upon religion as
foundation

Outside Interference Not welcomed

Six-year-old Paul was misbehaving

Those Dye Interests

american EconomistD
We want TO see the dye interests
have adequate protection, but we do
not want to see them cause every
other important productive interest
of the country to become subordinat-
ed to them. We do not want them to
adopt the rule or ruin" policy and
have all legislation held up so they
may starve the other industries into
submission. In a word, we do not
want to see monopoly run rampant in
this country and to see us the slaves
of certain interests who have up to
date received more coddling at the
hands of the Government than all
, other interests combined. We do
not want the business interests as a
whole TO be made to bow down to this
modern Moloch and to be finally Of
fered as burnt offering upon its
