MIR. HEBERT N. LORD, director of.
4fl the governmental budget bureau, rs
the latest 10 point with pride. He isn't
modest about ~, but lets go with figures
and irills in true publicity agent style.
The last fiscal year, Mr.. Lord says,
shows a 80 per cent decrease m the eN-
penses of the government over what they
were three years ago, when the budget
system was inauguratcd. The saving, In
cold. hard figures, he adds with nm
phasis, amounts TO 5000, 6O0, 600 a year,
And then he goes on TO tell that the bu-
reau is the presidents executive agency,
charged by him with the duty of cutting
down federal expenditures so that we
may reduce taxation, reduce the public
debt, and at the same time balance the
budget"
II is a proud showing, no doubt, and
we are all deeply impressed, but Mr.. Lord
should have a care. II is all well enough
to make the figures public and plug ahead
az the commendable job OF reducing cN-
penscs and taxation and things, but il
ism. so very wise 10 let the departments
and congress know too much about il, is
it2 Those governmental agencies are not
always careful IN money matters, and
they always are hungry. We all know
that they feed on the public purse. Also
do We know that they never are quite so
free-handed rs Immediately following an
election, and the budget bureau cannot
control them.
Mr.. Lord may 60 ahead and hug his
pride to his swelling chest, but there are
good reasons why he should not wax
vociferous. Indeed, he will do very well
10 shush.

A Case for CoOHdne

THEY certainly have n high-class
L booze case at San Francisco, one
involving society. politics and the large
blessed business interests.
One Pete McDonough is under sentence
to prison for heightened bootlegging. Pete
is not of the "hoi polloi," but one of the
powers Of politics and a caterer to the
best citizens" and to Jail him would
rip a number of circles.
An ordinary plebian jury convicted
Pete, the judge refused a new trial, the
court Of appeals affirmed the conviction,
and the supreme court refused to inter-
fere. You can almost see Pete behind
the bars, but not yet. A big petition is
circulating for Pete's pardon, addressed
to President Coolidge. Lawyers, fellows
who conspicuously performed in the re-
cent landslide, some society lions and even
the secretary of state have signed ii. The
matter will be put up to Calvin Coolidge
and become a national instance.
Moral: 1t is easy to land little fish,
but when you've hooked a big one, you
have to do a lot of playing with him before
you get him in your creel.

They're Looking for Him

COME are chasing the golf pill, others
~ are busy al the chasing Of the pig
skin" and multitudes are chasing the
almighty dollar, and the fellows with the
big telescopes are probably having rs
much fun as anybody. They're chasing
a new, unknown planet.
Not long ago the observatory Of Hell
delberg reported n small, strange planet
circling around the sun, and for days past
the observers Of the solar world have
been trying to spot ii and discover what
it is going to do to the earth.
You see, if this little planets orbit
meets up with the earth's orbit, omc
body is going TO get hurt.

Adventists, who believe that there will
be an end Of the earth in February next.

Lore for the Fat Man

TRUST the handlers of financial risks
i TO upset accepted theories. They
viii do il every time. Hence, there need
be no surprise expressed when the vice
president of a great surety company an
nounceS, with considerable emphasis, that
fat men are good risks.
Close scrutiny and exhaustive lnvesu-
cation, by men charged with the duty OF
entirely surrounding money with all sorts
of safeguards, have erected a structure
of proof that adipOSe tissue, even IN the
extreme, Is not 10 be Scoffed at or doubt
ed. Indeed, il is 10 be looked on rs an
asset-as n badge Of safety, or an aSSur-
anee Of pure service. So say the surety
men now, and why? Simply because the
oyerstuffed gentleman, be he young or
old. is too much given 10 consideration
of his gastronomic delights TO think OF
loOting the bank or robbing the safe.
Hence, when 4 man seeks q position re-
curing the fertilization of a bond Of Sc
curity for his good behavior, the surety
company sizes him up. II he be fat and
puffy, he gets the bond, pronto. II he
be slender or Scrawny, further inquiry Is
resorted TO before a bond is given, If at
all.
Il is q revelation, not only of the thoro-
ness of the modern surety company, but
more than that, it upSetS entirely the
long and generally accepted theory that
nobody loves a fat man. The careful
financial concern does, and it is a love

Seattle Editor Defends MussoLini
Editor The Star:
~

Editor The Star:
Dear Sir:
II is unfortunate that your edi-
torials. admirably written as they
usually are, should almost always
DO built up on biased information
when they concern italian politics.
Ono OF these, 'The Call Of Carl
baldi," appeared in your issue Of
the 2Ist, and ! trust you will grant
me the privilege to give your read
ers the correct version OF the
Italian situation.
I admit that italian affairs are
not easy to follow by an outsider,
especially on account Of the able
foreign propaganda being carrisl on
against Mussolini. ! believe, there
fore. that the views Of ono well
posted on the subject, as / am
bound to be on account Of my daily
work as editor OF an Italian news
paper, should be welcome by you
and by the readers OF your paper,
among whom are many Italians Of
this city who resent the continuous
mis.nterpretation of the news from
their native country.
You assert that Mussolini may
fail. SO he may. because nothing Is
infallible, but you may rest assured
that the odds are all In his favor.
1t vas only q few days ago that
he received a vote OF confidence
from the italian parliament, with
3l5 votes in his favor, SIX against
him and &c blank. Not much totter-
ing there.
Truly. as you state. there are
forces organized against him. All
the elements from tho old parties,
unwilling 10 accept his offer 20
~coIlaborate with him for the good
Of the country. all tho professional
politicians, all the tools OF the big
prcying interests, not to mention

ENCOURAGE DANCING

MOST people In our town danced
wi because they enjoyed dancing.
But tho beneficial exercise involved
Is very seldom considered.
Yet. next 10 proper walking and
breathing. dancing is the best form
OF exercise, Man has danced his
way down thru tho centuries. but
generally with a motive other than
exercise, lie has been happy and
danced IN glcc. or agitated and
danced Ia ritual or rage. 1t has. ever
been a great emotional outlet.
The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1924-11-28

and their desperation is the direct
measure OF the hopelcssucss with
which they view a possibility Of
bringing about its downfall
Many OF these have found Il more
comfortable TO get out Of Italy
altogether land that is why We
hear so much from them), but. altho
they make all the noise. they count
for little in the aggregate.
Tho reason for this is that the
only bond uniting them Is their op.
position 10 the government: other
wise they are bitter foes OF each
other, with no common policy or
leadership. and nothing to set up in
place Of what they seek 10 destroy.
As a matter Of fact, in two
years Of tremendous efforts. with
the help OF Russian and other gold.
they have been unable to make any
headway against the sound, common
sense OF the italian masses, altho
they have in n measure succeeded
with public opinion outside OF Italy.
In the italian parliament they have
gained exactly six votes as reported
above.
One Of their most willy argu-
ments. and the one on which your
editorial is based, IS that, even
granting all the good done by.
Mussolini, he should be fought on
the general principles Of democracy,
because he IL a dictator. This is an
old foible. kept alive by the oppo-
sitions. which should be forgotten.
The fascist chief, even If he gained
power In n somewhat forciblc man
ner, has been, since tho last cleo

You have noticed that A~merican-made
L dyes are steadily getting better. The
colors iran" a few years ago. Now they

per cent of its dyes. This year SO per

Circulation Of tho blood. muscle,
and neryc are all greatly benefited
