RESULT OF THE BUDGET.

Importance is attached 10 the fact
that the estimated expenditures for
the fiscal year 1929. as submitted 10y
the Bureau of Budget. viii not exceed
the estimated receipts. This at least
shows careful balancing by the experts
who prepared the Budget submitted
by the bureau.
But the main test is 10 come. Con-
gress has yet TO make the appropria-
tons for the fiscal year running TO
June 80. 1924, and Congressional ex-
travagance may play havoc with the
Budget figures IL they exceed them
largely, as may be the result. 1T is
essential" says The Budget. a paper
devoted 10 the work Of the bureau,
mot that the Budget should balance
on paper. but that when II is finally
passed. in the form Of appropriations
for the conduct Of the government, the
authorized expenditures should not
exceed the revenues which may rea-
sOnably be expected"
Thus it is shown that the Budget
is not an absolute assurance OF econ
omy in expe mixtures for administra-
ton. But there is no doubt its worl
is n safe guide for members Of Con
gress. and should incline them to avoit
4 deficits.

4 GREAT MERCHANT.

when the news OF John Wanamak-
crs death reached the managers OF
his New York and Philadelphia estab-
lishments more than $4,000 employees
were dismissed for the day. To that
gigantic stature had grown the little
venture OF the Philadelphia lad who
began by delivering goods in a hand
cart because he could not afford n
horse.
Many OF those 2S.Oop aids had had
personal. relations with Mr.. Wanna
maker: all OF them must have felt
a sense Of loss IN his death. For a
merchant deals more directly both
with his working force and with the
public than most modern masters Of

Mr. Wanamaker did not content

in the world. His interest in local
charities and public movements was

INDEPENDENT NEGROES.

Careful research since the November
election reveals more instance. Of in
dependent political action and voting
by Negroes than in any other cam
paiGn OF the past. What they did IN
Delaware is known the country over.
and the election returns show that
in New York. New Jersey. Ohio and
other States they acted and voted in
a manner that largely dispelled the
previous belief that the Negro. in his
political attitude. would never be any
thing but a humble. servile asset OF
the Republican party.
One Of the most notable instances
OF this spirit Of political independence
among Negroes was the election OF a
Negro to the New York Legislature.
from a New York City district. on the
Democratic ticket. The distrit is one
normally Republican. and when this
aspiring Negro announced himself as
candidate representing the Dem
ocratic party. the Democratic voters
gave him their support and he was
elected.
This shows a remarkable change. a nd
also proves that the Negroes have
nothing to fear from exercising political
independence and throwing their votes
TO the Democratic party when &C
oasion demands independent action.
Certainly they now know they have
nothing to gain by continued blind
subserviency 10 the Republican parS
/ No one will venture the assertion
that Delaware Democrats would cleo,
a Negro 10 the Legislature. But there
is ample proof the Republicans vii
not, even in a heavy Republican dis.

The point 10 be considered by the
Negro voter. however. is that blind
devotion 20 the Republican party get
him nowhere. while political indepen

LABOR AND IMMIGRATION.

Mr.. Mellon is properly disturbed by
the shortage OF day labor and the re-
latio6 that condition bears TO high
prices. Nothing could be more unfor-
tunate at this time than to have
another era Of high prices. with oil
that that means. caused by n want Of
labor that can be supplied and must
be supplied by intelligent amend
ments to tho immigration laws. lie is
the more worried by the situation be-
cause he realizes that the country IS
suffering from a failure OF the Gov
eminent to have solved this problem
long ago.
The situation would OF course be
worse II the advice OF the House COM
mittee on immigration should be fol-
lowed and the limit reduced below
three per cent. a situation equally
deplorable would I'm all probability re-
suit in the long run by throwing
down the limit altogether. But the
question he has formally raised de-
serves the consideration OF Congress
in advance OF any OF the progressive"
matters now uppcrmost I'm the minds
of the new matters Of Congress.
We are quite sure that this will not
be the view OF the progressive bloc
which we may be sure will soon pro-
coed To ridicule the Mellon report
from start To finish. and ignore Il. lie
has, however, performed notable
service in warning all concerned oi
