government after war conditions
Unfortunately the habit Of waste, like other habits,
persistent and there to whom waste
in government means personal advantage.
just at present there is strong public sentiment
in favor Of economy. Much has already been accom-
pshed along that line The establishment of the budget
system is the greatest financial reform since the adoption
of tho constitution The reduction of naval armament
will lift heavy burden from the taxpayers. In many
ways war expenditures have been stopped and the
economies Of peace have suppanted the wastes OF
Yet there probably never was time when SO much
pressure brought upon congress in behalf Of need
less expenditures at present Every person that has
been paid from the national treasury thinks that his
end The more useless he is the harder he works to
keep the payroll. Every promoter Of fancfu schemes
for spending the public money for the benefit of the
people and himself thinks that this is good time to
press his project. If the nation waste billions in
war; surely graft of few hundred thousands will not
be noticed.
Waste in is necessity, but waste in time of
peace a crime against the people Congressman should
be left to make their stand against the treasury
looters without public support In every possible way
public sentiment should be manifested in demand that
the reductions resulting from the cessation OF shall
be held for the benefit of the people and not be diss

Nevertheless the construction and maintenance of

only thing that counts is the surplus of navy

success of the Washington conference, therefore, will
be that of saving large part of the burden of

concerned the will to peace that is the ruling desire

Anemic Friendship
Frederick A. Hatch

Aenemia is that state of the body where
there is lack of blood. Or, it might be said that
it is lack of certain vital necessities for healthy
blood. The victim is pale and lifeless.
And there is much of friendship which comes
under that designation. The relation between
real friends is such that if it be real, the friend
ship is genuine and virile, else it is worth little.
The basis of friendship is kinship of minds and
hearts. There is mutual attraction between them,
and that is a bond which survives strains and
differences. It is assumed that friends give and
take; they accommodate themselves to the
others needs desires, in far they
without loss of self respect.
On that basis how much real friendship is
there in the wordf We read of friendly nations;
of maintaining friendly relations between peoples
and races But there arises difference of opin-
ion conflicting interests, and how long Will
cordial relations survivef The world is needing
today real friendship with understanding,
between nations, groups of people and individuals.
The one bright spot in the otherwise nasty mess
of the Arbuckle case, is the newspaper account
of the friendship of his divorced wife for her
one-time husband. What basis for sincerity
there may be, the public may not know. 1t is
a fine contrast to other manifestations of his
associates.
Church members are supposed to be true
friends and thereby expected to be true and
unselfsh in their contacts with others. But too
often the personal ambition wipes out the friendly
attitude, in night. Who defend. his her
friend from the strife Of tonguesf Who stands
up for friend under any assault made upon
him? Who patiently bears with his whims, his
changefulness, his forgetfulness thru the years?
Such friend is red-blooded, q nugget of gold
For the life of friend is only the other life of
self. The older We grow desire and rely
friends. Only few it may be survive the attri-
tion of circumstance, but those few precious.
How many of us have professed friendship
with God, and now that relation part is
aenemic, bloodless, limp. Shame on any one who
will treat the unfailing love and service of our
friendly Father in such manner

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT

prssiden. American Society for Thrift

At the present time it is particularly vital that careful
thought be given the problem of correct spending as
we'll as correct saving.
The statement recently was made by government
official that $4,000 100000 Of tho counry's cash is
being hidden away in various places or is being car
ried around in pockets. While it is necessary IN a
nation of 1oo,00O00O people to use great amount OF
loose cash and currency is likely that considerable
portion of the $1,000 100000 referred to is concealed
in obscure hooks and corners, and thus kept out of
circulation.

SUPREME COURT GIVES
 BERGER A NEW TRIAL

Washington, Jan. 31.-Victor L. Ber- ger, socialist of Milwaukee, and four CO., defendants who were convicted and sentenced to tens ranging from ten to twenty years for violation of the war time espionage act will be given new trials under decision today by the su- preme court.
 Berger's co-defendants are Adoiph Ger mer, national secretary of the socialist party, a native of Prussia; William Kruse, editor of the Young Socialist Mag a5ine, whose parents were Germans J. Louis Engdahl and Irwin St. John Tuck CT, writers and lecturers, natives of the United States, and claiming to be not of immediate descent
 Dividing six to three, the court held that Federal District Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis of Chicago was ineligi- ble to conduct the trial and should have retired upon the filing of an affidavit by the defendants charging him with "per- sonal bias and prejudice" because Of the nativity of certain of them.
 The sole question before the supreme court was whether Judge Landis had erred in continuing to sit in the case aft CT counsel for the defense had filed a properly drawn affidavit of p-4judice : six members of the court, includ 7g Chief Justice White, held that he did. Three other members, Justices Day, Pitney and McReynolds, held that he did not, and filed opinions sharply dissenting iron, that of the majority.
 Justice McKenna. departing from his written opinion, said 1t should be of no importance to a judge whether he saw in any particular case. He added that the section of the judicial code under which the affidavit was filed was drawn to assure that the court not only would be impartial but would be free from even suspicion of partiality
 "We 'are of the opinion therefore, he continued, that" an affidavit upon in- formation and belief. satisfies the section and that upon it's filing. if 1t shows the objectionable inclination or disposition of the judge 1t is his duty to proceed nc further in the case
 t"The facts and reasons the affidavit states are not frivolous or fanciful but substantial and formidable and they have l relation to the attitde of Judge Ian. ! dis mind toward the defendants"
