FOR TODAY.

From dawn to dusk / would be true,
Glad in the tasks find to do,
Glad that the strength is mine TO bear
Whatever comes Of toll and care.
/ would not spoil this day with hate,
Nor to the stranger bar my gate.
And when these hours have run their
course,
Let me not view them with remorse.
Let me be watchful OF my tongue
Lest careless speech from 1t be flung,
Let all that shall speak today
Spread happiness along my way.
1 pray these eyes of mine shall see
The beauty of each vine and tree,
The smiles of friends, my neighbors

And all the glor+es of the earth.
Lord, as / start the toll Of day
This is the humble prayer l pray:
Help me TO keep my honor bright,
Let mo be Lnasnaned at night.

REPENT, FRANCE,

Great Britain, France and Italy
should all put on the garb OF hearty
repentance, and France most OF all.
For while the British have sometimes
been weak and vacillating. while
their Russian policy has been incom-
prehensibly crcdulous. while they
have permitted and encouraged the
Greeks to indulge their madness to
the point OF insanity. they have at
least been true to their kind, and
their main policies have been con-
structive. But France, impelled by
her greed and her Jealousies, has
played directly In tho hands OF the
enemies. A mere novice In tho game
of handling tho Oriental she has at-
tempted to undertake the imperialis-
tic role In the Near East, even to the
point of openly opposing and thwart-
ing Great Britain.
More than this, France has played
the traitor to the white race by pro-
viding the Kemalists with consider
able portion OF the arms they have
been using In their advance, which
they have employed In tho horrible
ravaging OF Smyrna, and with which
ultimately they may kill French sol
diers. There lis no excuse for oil this

fering from shell shock. n result OF
the great war. and Is not quite ac.

OUR KU KLUXlKLAN.

There has been division in the |
ranks Of the Ku Klux Khan. the secret |
regulating organization which has
somewhat astonished the country by |
Its rapid spread and its arbitrary do
ings, and the seeding branch has be- |
come Incorporated under the laws of
Delaware. This week II secured a
charter for National Ku Klux Klan,
Inc. and by this title the new branch
will be known.
The parent organization, 1t Is said,
had made considerable progress in our
State, and some reports place its local
membership at several thousand. This
was before the division, and how the
Delaware adherents Of the Klan will
choose between the old and the new
organizations remains to be seen.
II is hoped, however, that II any
considerable number of Delawareans
incline 10 association with such pc
culiar and meddling association, they
will affiliate with the seceders, now
acting under authority Of our State
Corporation laws. Not that such an
organization is Justly entitled TO en-
couragement. but that the seceders.
IN their charter draft, set forth OBJ
jects and purposes which of them
selves sound commendable. The new

be urged against a society OF this
character, provided It's subordinate

BUDGET SAVINGS.

The budget report OF Director Dawes, recently
transmitted to congress by the president, contains
figures which are both remarkable and gratifying.
Among other things it is shown that the cost of ad-
minis1ation of the affairs of the government during
the past fiscal year, including estimated expendi-
lures for the coming six weeks, are less by $907,-
500, 900 than the expenses for the preceding year.
This is aside from payments on the national debt
and for other purposes aside from strictly admins
Srative costs. 1t seems only a little time since the
country was startled to find that it had in charge
:of its affairs a billion dollar" congress, that is, a
which appropriated a billion dollars during
the two years of its existence. Our operations have
expanded and our conditions have changed that in
= single year our administrative expenditures have
been reduced by nearly as much as the entire cost
of government for two years in that not at all re-
mote period.
This billion dollars, or nearly that amount, is
not to be regarded as all saved. Because Of the
pressure for funds, due to the war there has been a
Slessening Of expenditure. If more money had been
lspent it would not necessarily have been wasted.
More money might have been spent wisely and
probably provided it had been available without
embarrassment to the public. The government has
simply been following the course pursued by the
prudent business man in restricting expenditure for
perfectly legitimate and useful purposes when
money is difficult to obtain and there are extraordi-
nary demands on his finances.
There IS, however, an item of a quarter of a
billion dollars which represents a direct saving.
This, as explained by the director of the budget,
consists OF the accumulated results OF economies in
the administrators of the various departments,
through the coordination of work, the elimination
lof many elements of waste, and in other ways d.
srectiy under the control of the administrative de-
spartments- Here we have something that repre-
SCENTS a net gain.
There has been discussion of some of the items
entering into TINS total, and some effort has been
made to belittlc the work of the budget director and
those who have aided him. 1t would be strange if
IA a total of $3.50, o00, 600 there were not to be found
items open to question. But the objections thus
Tar presented relate to insignificant sums and are
arrival In character. On the basis of the comment
thus far presented the actual savings in operating
the working machinery Of the government during
the past year may safely be placed, and Mr.. Dawes
places Il, q. the quarter of a billion claimed.
y this IS true, the budget plan has more than
justified itself. And the budget plan is simply the
Application to the work Of the government Of the
same principle which is accepted as essential to the
successful management Of the private business.

The charter of the local Lions club was pre-

the club is now formally and regularly installed, &C

has, of course, been organized for some time, and
has been properly recognized by the general or

The Lions club is one of a group Of great or

field these are Rotary, Kiwanis and Lions. Among
the features which they have in COMMON are mem

THE WORLD LIVES THROUGH IT.

1t is quite evident that a certain amount OF sell
ss6shness has marked the proceedings at Genoa. 20
$litical considerations have entered into the discus
::sions, and representatives at the great international
conference have been influenced not alone by the
desire to restore normal conditions throughout the
world, but by the effect which their action would be
likely to have on political movements at home.
There has been one eye on the fate OF nations and
another on the fate OF political parties.
Nevertheless, there need be no fear that even
though there has been something short of perfect
SSiidealism the world is going Immediately to smash.

1ence and omnipotence, and whose morals were not

smen who were severely criticized by their own con
