REAL TEST OF THE BUDGET

The budget bureaus good service ii try
ing to reduce federal expenditures to the
minimum sometimes passes over the line into
the realm of curtailing the beneficial activity
of departments. When this occurs there is
always redress to be found in congress. 1t
is better for the bureau to err on the side OF
economy than on the side of extreme liber-
atty. Only in that way can the bureau act
as check upon extravaganza. Therefore,
in the inadequate allowance made for the
department of agriculture, no censure at
taches to the budget bureau, which is hon
estly seeking retrenchment 1t is WE'LL how
ever, for congress to see the purpose Of the
department in broader way and to amplify
the bureaus estimate by such sums as are
necessary to various useful activities
The real test of the budgets effectiveness,
however, comes at the end of the year when
it is discovered whether or not the depart
ments have kept within their allowances,
1t is at this time that the congress can stand
shoulder to shoulder with the budget bureau
in protest against the easy custom of ex-
ceeding appropriations in the expectation
that congress will supply the deficiency.
Once budget is established and adopted by
congress it should stand and be respected
by the departments. Congress can curb the
tendency towards exceeding budgets by max
ing adequate appropriations at the begin
ming of the year and holding the depart
ments to strict accounting of their stew
ardship at the end of the year. There
should be pronounced congressional reluc-
lance to condone deficiencies except fer
bona fide emergencies.

A Timely Editorial
Motor Cars Cross Sahara
rom the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
The motor car expedition across
the western Sahara, which left Tu-
CURT, the southern terminus of the
French railway in Algeria, on De-
cember 10. has reached its destina-
ton, Timbuktu, in tho Niger valley.
The last stage of the journey from
Buren,, in the French Sudan, just
outside of the desert area, was ac-
complished on Sunday without
halt. The motor cars arrived in
good condition and the members in
excellent health after their long
ride. The duration of this 1000
mile journey was twenty days, which
was the time set by the leader of
the expedition.
The success of the expedition was
largely due to the thoroughness of
the preparations and to the use Of
a car adapted to the purpose. Sta
tions with supplies were established
in advance along the first 500 miles
of the journey, so that the members
of the expedition were dependent
upon the supplies which they car
ried with them for only about 400
miles of the distance travelled.
The cars were equipped with cat
erpillar wheels and each was SO
built as to permit an equal distribu-
ton of weight. The apparatus was
especially constructed for travel
over large areas of sand, and was
developed after several trials made
more than a year ago upon the
snowy slopes of the French Alpine
region.
The success of this expedition un-
doubtedly opens up a new era for
the Sahara and for transsaharan
travel and trade. That this expe-
ydition crossed the desert at this
western point will lead to other
trials across the Sahara at still
shorter distances further to the
east. The path opened by these
pioneers is likely to be the line.
along which the French will link up
the Mediterranean coast with the
French west African possessions.
The outposts which they can thus
establish will protect them from the
attacks of Sahara bandits from
whom they have in the past suffer-
ed, while the route will under prop
err DEVELOPMENT become the future
outlet for the products of the great
Niger valley. These the French
have collected by long roundabout,
routes and then shipped from the
Senegal coast or have transported
across the desert by camel caravans.
To the many other triumphs of
the motor cars must now be added
the conquest of the great, almost
unknown. Sahara desert region.
This success is long step toward
advancing the cause Of civilization
and bringing into closer touch with
the world markets lands of great
natural wealth and resources.

eff You Are Sweet"
By REV. H. c. OFFERMAN

1t may be your nature, and, then
again. it may be an acquired char
acteristic, that you are always sweet.
Nothing seems to unruffle you.
And yet, why should not everyone
be always kind and sweet, and affa-
BILE?
Certainly, human beings must
have some friendliness, and socia-
bility, and cordiality.
Let the darts of love fly to and
fro, let the red cord of love and kin
be knit through the whole earth,
let the brotherhood of man and the
fatherhood of God live!

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
From E. w. Howe's Magazine.

Look around YOU. and note the
great runnper of common men who
are making success of life. There
is plenty for those of us who have
no great genius; all we need do is
to take advantage of abundant OPP
portunities. Examine into the his
tory of any man who is getting
along" better than the average, and
you will find the secret Of his sue
cess is no secret at all; all he does
is to be reliable, work hard, watch
out and practice politeness. And
the Importance of these things has
been dinned into our ears since
birth. Almost every day | meet a
very successful man who does not
seem to know anv more than do,
but on investigation I conclude he
more steadily practices a few Of the
more necessary good habits.

NEED FOR BETTER LIGHTING

That Birmingham can have better street
lighting and save money is the belief of
persons who have studied the situation. The
present dim lights must consume an inordi-
nate amount of current for the illumina-
ton they give. Some cities have found that
they have saved the cost of installation of
more efficient lights by the economy in cur
rent thus effected Perhaps Birmingham can
do the same thing. Better street lighting is
an aid to law and order. There is many
deed Of robbery and violence committed
within a stones throw of downtown, deeds
that would not have been done if there had
been better lighting. There are innumerable
dark corners on every street in the very
heart of the city which positively suggest
holdups and worse. There is scarcely day
passes without it's tale of some attack upon
the property or lives of citizens. Since
these deeds usually occur at night, what
stronger indication can there be that the
darkness is the protection the nlalefactors
await? If the city were properly lighted,
this adjunct of crime and violence would be
removed. There is complaint of insufficient
police force. Ten times our present force
would not be able to watch all the coverts
afforded by insufficient illumination at
night. Let there be study of this subject
of street lighting. If some expert in city
illumination were brought here to survey the
situation and show the commission how the
city may be efficiently lighted at minimum
of cost it would be worth while.
