W/E BELIEVE that the Bureau OF the
w Budget has taken an unfair attitude to-

Lord ntimated to members of the Women's City
Club the other night that he takes it for granted
that some of the annual estimates will be larger
than the required. 1t is an old trick. he de-
clares. and the government economy experts can
not be fooled.
1t is entirely unfair to treat this city as a
government department If the nation pay
ing the entire expenses of the District it might be
different Then there would be some temptation
to cheat on a trick two. But such is not the
case. Washington people themselves must pay by
far the greater share Of any estmates-a greater
share than they should pay in all justice.
Members of the Bureau of the Budget are,
for the time being, citizens of Washington. There
is no need that they should base their policy
upon cynical theory. They have only to use
their eyes. A glance around should convince
them that the District of Columbia is not spend
ing an undue amount of money Inspection of a
few District schoolhouses or rides over few
District roads should be sufficient to impress
upon them that not enough money is expended
on civic enterprises here
Gen. Lord declares that economy has become

favor of it. Money is valuable commodity. 1t
should not be wasted But there are economies
and economies. We are not particularly enthusi-
astc about of them.

1t has been observation that heads of de-

to work the old trick of asking for twice as much
as they expect to get. On the other hand, they
pare they estimates to the bone-and then sit up
nights trying to think OF still further economies

United States. American audiences always have
preferred burning at the stake. The show lasts
longer and furnishes more thrills. This method
should be substituted if men are to be hanged

as William Penn never missed an opportunity to
watch fellow man jerked the end Of rope
Frankly, we hope none of these four men,

Millionaires Who Read Browning.

SSOTHE purpose of college, writes Wash
i ington lady to The Herald in re a recent
editorial, SIS not to teach and women to
make living; it is to teach them how to live"
The lady believes that the desired end for
the strivings of humanity is happiness and that
in this commodity there gradatons according
to quality. We have no quarrel with her this
score.
The human hog is raised into Heaven for a
time when seated before a table creaking with
patters OF roast turkey, odoriferous pies, tankards
of beer, quarts of liquor, etc. To him eating
is living He has to the reward of his ef-
forts.
A far type OF finds bliss unutter-
able when burned at the stake or nailed to
for the sake of his convictions. His happiness is
of finer quality than that OF the pg-man.
Somewhere between these two extremes, we
have doubt, lies great reservoir of pleasure
in taking advantage of which or woman Is
aided by the right sort of college education.
The country minister, overworked and poorly
paid enjoys this sort of happiness. So does the
Salvation Army worker, standing on the street
corner in the cold.
The individual equipped with the right sort
of college education enjoy poetry, or music or
art better, he can get from philosophy a pleasure
unknown to the pig-man. he in the sunset
and in autumn leaves things invisible to his un-
lettered contemporary.
Admitting all these things we still deaf
to the lady's plea. A poet may be supremey
happy in his garnet, communing with the souls of
great singers dead and gone. puttering with
rhymes and seeing visions. But we maintain that
the purpose of universities should not be to pro-
duce poets in garrets. One of such men in
thousand might be happier than the poet in
advertising agency, earning $50 week.
We insist that a university serves better
purpose when it produces poets capable of earning
$50 a week than when it produces poets who can
starve and dream in garrett The lady, we be-
eve fails to appreciate properly the fact that 900
men and women out of every 1000 cannot begin
to be happy without good food, good clothes,
good houses, etc. When they have these they can
start to appreciate verse and song and painting.
Without the fundamentals of happiness they go to
their graves bitter the injustice of the world
1t is well enough for American universities to pro-
duce great poets-but we prefer that they produce
Shakespeares rather than Otways. We hear fire.
quently that American mionaires are yokes-
incapable OF appreciating anything more sublime
than good automobile, a good race horse or a
good dinner We hear cries of regret that men

More Efficiency in Executions.

TOUR men are due to hang at the District
Jail during the next few days. They will
be jerked before eternal judgment the end of
of a cord-to the fearful pleasure OF sentimental
ladies who love something to cry about and to the
neurotic enjoyment of other folks in the
District who revcl amid horrible things. Most of
the four We presume, will be unable to escape
the penalty.
If capital punishment ever is justified all these
men probably deserve ii. They have been proven
guilty of revolving crimes. The Hebraic law, "an
eye for eye and tooth for TOOTH" need not
be advanced in defense of their executions. 1t is
enough If their fate as a warning to others
who might desire to pick off neighbor. If life
is established as the price for life, killing is not
apt to be so common otherwise.
We have no brief to offer against capital
punishment. There are arguments on both sides
and no lack OF people who are willing to support
their beliefs. But the unusual number of ap-
preaching executions should impress upon the
public the antiquated. cruel system used in the
District of Columbia for taking human life.
The practice of hanging was brought to the
New World from England 1t is centuries old.
We never have hcard,a scientific defense of it.
1t originally devised, we presume, because
Of its sensational aspects in the days when an
execution was considered largely from the point

their plow handles and the court mobiles quit their

earlier practice of chopping off heads. Hence it

Traditions behind the practice are no defense.

of Columbia to furnish Roman holiday There
are good vaudeville theaters and moving picture
houses to supply thrills for folks with an idle

The Final Wage Dictator.

THERE are two phases to all minimum wage
discussion-the legal and the humanitarian.
u The Supreme Court will not be concerned
about the latter The public is not concerned
about the former. The unversed in law de-
cides the merits of the statute upon its moral as
poets. The learned justice thinks only in prece-
DENTS The one debates the question in terms of
flesh and blood; the other in terms of legal pro-
cedure.
We believe that there is a moral obligation
upon every employer to pay living wage. Each
man knows his own business best Some may find
it to their temporary advantage to force girls to
STEAL cheat, etc. Some may find it to their tenn
porary advantage to keep employees physically
weak from underfeeding Some may find it to
their temporary advantage to keep alive spirit
of dissatisfaction always the verge of revolt.
But most heads Of established concerns know bet
ter.
We do not believe that it is good busi-
ness policy to pay less than living wage-any
than that it ever is good business policy to
starve a horse or refuse to repair cracks in a
gasoline tank. In all the minimum wage discus
sion one fact stands out People will not work
long for less wages than they live Ten
Or twelve girls might starve to death. Twenty
thirty might commit suicide. A hundred or
more might start picking pockets. But the great
own favor later.
1t wouldn't be right for a girl getting less
money than she could possibly live on to steal,
according to the Scriptures. But everybody knows
that ninety-nine girls out of every hundred would
steal. Most people know that they themselves

il.-- q employers themselves. 1t is the sort of
legislation enables narrow, selfish, heartess
men to stay in business little longer than they
would otherwise. This, we believe, is one of its
most striking disadvantages.
The minimum wage law which finally will
obtain in American industry will be imposed by
a higher power than the Congress of the United
States and upheld by higher court than the
Supreme Court of the United States. 1t will be
matter of absolute business necessity-not of
statutes. The only appeal will be bankruptcy.
