much ahead; but, OH" I sigh, 'the
drugstore pop, that's stained a gaudy
red!" And when the week of thrift is
done, l gladly raid the till, and take
therefrom the boarded mon, and blow
it with will. But if we had year
of thrift, the lesson we would heed,
and from our shoulders we might lift
the load that makes them bleed. 1t is
habit, saving scads, a habit hard to
learn, if we train with the giddy lads
who think coins made to burn. But
in a year we've learned to count the
guilders we have stored; it's good to
see the package mount, to view the
rising hoard. We realize how foolish
tits, to waste the hard-earned rocks,
and to ourselves we say, Gee whiz,
this is the graft that knocks!" And
so we save the marks and francs, the
kroners and the bucks, and haul them
to the savings banks in lorries and
in trucks.

The Resignation of Judge Lands

Every one regrets that Judge Lands has quit
the federal bench to become arbiter of baseball.
1t marks the passing of one of the picturesque
characters of the bench, well as of a judge
who fearlessy did his duty, tempering justice
with mercy as occasion demanded it, and remain
ing firm as adamantine in other instances.
His resignation, as well as that of Will Hays,
shows how difficult it is for the government to
compete with private industries and enterprises
for the services of efficient men. The differ
ence in the salaries between federal judge and
head of the baseball organization is so great
that irrespective of the warm attachment Judge
Lands might have felt for his judicial post, he
could not have very we'll turned deaf ear to the
overture.
The same condition prevails in other spheres
in which private industry and the government
bid for services. The government in a mis-
taken sense of economy, pays small salaries for
the highly important work which it expects its
officials to perform. Consequently it is forced
to obtain men of little training, who after they
have acquired experience and demonstrated
their worth, are quickly absorbed by the bust
ness world to fill executive posts or to give their
knowledge to commercial enterprises.
The result of this condition is to be meas
ured in the increased cost of government. lnef-
fcient men cannot give adequate service, conse-
quently there is waste and mismanagenlent that
consume thousands of dollars.

granddaughters, and while frequently
seen driving through the parks or por-
ing over old manuscripts ana rare
books in the library of congress, few
residents of the national capital know
him by sight.
His reticence has been attributed to
modesty of attitude toward his
fathers fame 1t is said that he has
been showered with opportunities for
capitalizing his name, but spurned all
of them.
He graduated from Harvard in 1864
and during the last year of the Civil
war served on Grants staff with the
rank of captain. He accompanied
Grant to Washington when his father
was shot, and was present when he
died-said to be one of two persons
now living who witnessed that sad
event.
He settled in Chicago, studied law
and began practice. He had natural
attraction to politics and when Gar

Washington's Birthday

The recurrence of the anniversary of the
birthday of Washington today engaged the at
tention of patriotic citizens the country over
His achievements as a statesman, as the founder
of our republic, as man of superb character,
possessed of the highest nobility and the
staunchest integrity, were stressed everywhere
The republic has passed through many trying
periods and solved many perplexing problems,
including even the perpetuation of the Union
which he helped create, since Washington passed
from the scene of activity. And in all of them,
American statesmen have found in the principles
of national conduct enunciated by the father of
the republic, a sure guide and constant adviser.
With assured confidence in his judgment,
Washington for instance, warned the republic
against entangling alliances with European ma
tons and participation in wars whose purpose
was the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of territory. II want

clared, chat the powers of Europe may be con-
vnced we act for ourselves and not for others"
He would avoid their disputes and he proposed
IF they will harass one another, to avail our
selves of the neutral conduct we have adopted"
From this precedent we wisely have not de-
waited and his policy has become so thoroughly
assmated by our people and been so deeply in
doctrinated in our national life that we look with
dstrust upon every overture to the contrary and
reject every offer.

@. What is the origin of the word
bashful?-J. ]. J.
A. Bashful is allied to the word
abash in derivation. Abash is de

die English abash was confused with
abase, until the word took on a tinge
of the meaning of abase.

CONFIRM ARMSTRONG

THERE is not an experienced business
i man in the country who will believe that
Thomas Il. Armstrong was guilty Of any
moral wrong for his connection with the
agreements of terra. GOTTA manufacturers
during the war. for which he and his com.
pany were fined total of $4,000 by the Fed.
eral court.
The coming agreement Of the terra Gotta
manufacturers was entered into at the sug.
gestion Of representatives Of the Federal
Government, who said that it would enable
them to protect their solvency during the
war when the Government was restricting
their use of coal and their use Of the rail.
roads for shipping their product. After
while the legal officers of the Government
brought suit against the terra GOTTA men,
charging them with violation of the laws in
restraint of trade. The court decided that
there had been technical violation Of the
law, the defendants pleaded guilty and were
fined.
There was no moral quality in the acts Of
which they were charged. The law provided
that business should be done in one way and
they had done it in another. One way was
as honest as the other. 1t was as II
police regulation forbade automobilists to
make left hand turn at certain corners and
the regulation had been disregarded at the
suggestion of the traffic officer on the corner.
The councilmanic committee which has
been considering the protest against the con.
firmation of the appointment of Mr.. Arm.
strong as Purchasing Agent for the city has
sense OF realities. for 1t is not taking the
protest seriously. Its members are evidently
aware that any business man Is liable to be
accused Of violation Of some Of the many
laws directing how business shall be done.
There are regulations SO indefinite that it is
impossible to know just what they mean.
The officials in Washington will not tell n
business man what he must do to keep
within the law. He must do his best under
the advice of counsel and then take what IS
coming to him If his counsel guesses wrong
and the courts convict him.
But to assume that such man is guilty
of moral turpitude disqualifying him for an
Office Of public trust is to do violence to every
instinct of justice. 1t would BE- as sensible
to say that man who inadvertently ran
past traffic signal in the street and was
fined for it was therefore ineligible to an
Office of responsibility under the City Gov.
ernment.
Mr.. Armstrong Is a reputable citizen. who
has done business here for years and has
the respect and confidence Of those who
know him. That the Mayor will ask for the
confirmation Of his appointment as Purchas.
ing Agent and that the Ciy Council will
confirm him should be accepted as a matter
OF course.
