Critic or Kicker

There are two classes of people in
this country who are constantly in the
public mind-constructiv critics and
destructive kickers.
The constructive critic is a person
who looks always to the welfare of his
country. or to that Of his state, or
community. He analyses questions Of
import to the people with a fair and
just mind, separates the good from the
bad, and seeks to advance the inter

A Surplus for a Change

For many years Americans have had
an intimate acquaintance with the.
word deficit" as applied to the feder-
al government.
Congress has made its annual ap-.
preparations, and governmental depart
ments have proceeded to spend more
than their allowances. A deficit has
been the customary result.
But perk up! They say every cloud
has its silver lining, but this year it is
to be a golden one, thanks to our ma
tional budget system.
From whence does this golden news
Gomez, From General Lord, director
of the budget-the man who ought to
know.
The general tells us that at the end
of the present fiscal year there will be
in the federal treasury a surplus Of
sixty millions of dollars over expendi-
lures for the period.
OF course, sixty millions are not
much-Only bagatelle-but Sur
plus" sounds sweeter than deficit"
sixty million dollars sweeter.
Long live the budget-and hasten
the day when taxes will begin to fall.

grabbed the prisoner and threw him
to the floor.
