WI ARE IMPRESSED WITH COST OF GOVERNMENT

The budget Of the government makes a reduction over last year Of 369,225,931, but taxes will not be reduced, i. tho recommendation of President Coolidge is followed
 The foregoing sum looks big to an individual, but IS not so big to the government; the latter still has more than 3 IA billions of dollars to pay out during the year
 The cost Of government is cnor- nous; ten years ago nobody suspect cd that the figures would rise to such majestic totals, But approximately two billions Of the outlay is q result of the war. and until the war debts and interest are wiped out these costs will continue high,
 We are the richest country on earth, yet the relative demands upon our finances are less than is the case in inc major European governments.

 In her latest poem, America. Great Mother" Miss Granniss ex- presses her version of the lead which America must assume in the work of reconstruction, because of the international prestige which it enjoys and the riches with which it has been blessed. This appeal is all the more appropriate at this time when the thoughts of approaching Golden Rule Sunday occupy the minds of the American people. This poem has been set to music com- psed by the author and Theron w. Hart of New Britain.
 It is evident that Miss Granniss realizes the important part played by the children of-America as in her poems, Being Agreed" and "The Golden Rule Forever" she seeks to impress upon their minds the sur rounding beauty and happiness which they enjoy and which, by the constant observance of the Golden

ChNRIliS CHAPLIN AND HIS LITTLE BRIDE

Somehow We are entirely loc Mockh.oied 10 understand the mental complex Of motion picture s'ars regarding the marriage rcla. tlon, The latest matrimonial ven turo of Charles Chaplin, the com. n1ian who won fame through inc artistic use Of elongated gaiters, n miniature mous,ache and the facial Crimaccs Of a man reclining in a dentists chair, is case in point.
 When Mildren Harris could not get along with the hectic tempera- ment Of the comedian, he could not See the joke and a divorce followed. For a film star to get along without divorce Is like making lip with out grease paint; and so the film stars matrimonial fasco made but small ruffle upon the great body Of the public, which shrugged ifs shoulders and waited for the next film.
 But Chaplin, a veteran actor of 35, thinks well Of marriage; and while he is about 1t he picks 'em young. His new wife, press dis patches say, is only 16 and has to continue her schooling under the California law, which calls for tutor ing of some kind or another until a person is IS,
 The bride entered fImdom, so 1t is stated when she was 13, and Chaplin, ever on the lookout for talent and beauty, "discovered" her in due course. making her his lcad- ing woman when she was Is, but in order not to cause the public 10 look with suspicion upon such youth full talent her age was advertised as l9 in the movie publicity, All Of which sounds much like movie drama of the heart-interest kind inc little girl going 10 Hollywood lat an early age" winning success by aJding three years to her age, and marrying the first film comedian Of the generation.
 Somehow We synIrathjze with this bride, however. Being a mero man we would hate 70 be married to a woman film star CT any other feminine theatrical star, as we couldn't help thinking the marriage would be temporary situation; and if we were the little bride--oh well, guess the rest. Anyhow, we wouldn't feel as if we had monopolizcd all the confidence in the world.

which it was specially interested be- cause tho notorious outcast, Gerald Chapman, Wns supposed to have been tho slayer, merely printed an imaginative story Of the entire oe- cur"ncc, It an an oyo-opcncr to those in Now Britain who were ac- quantod with the actual facts Mayor Deyer Of Chicago the other day took tho papers of his city severely 10 task for making a 'ro- mantle episode" out Of the Dion 0 Banion murder. O'Banion was the underworld gang leader and boot logger who was slain in his florist store which was a cloak for his al- legged malcfactions. The Chicago mayor appears 10 have had good grounds for his opposition to the manner of reporting induleed in by the Chicago press, which if any thing, is more raw in it's handling Of crime news than exists in any other American city. To this day we have on file the accounts of the murder of a bad character In Cht- c1gr, taken from the two leading morning papers Of that time, and neither account agreed in a single detail except that the fellow was murdered. But each story, all de tails" "piped" In the offices, wore masterpieces Of romantic short story writing, worthy of the best efforts of Richard Harding Davis. A rcgu- lar reporter trained 10 ''stick 10 the facts" and avoid error or imagining, would have no chance 10 hold job under such conditions.
 That is the sort Of thing readers as well as mayors of cities and the police generally are beginning to object to- And they arc right in registering their indignation, 1ntelH- gent readers want facts not TO- rnance, in the presentation of news; and even unintclligent readers do not like 10 think a reporter Is lying 10 them. Fact is stronger than TO- nance, although the later is easier 10 chisel on the typewriter, requiring less "digging" for elusive detail and merely requiring a mind egotstical enough to imagine it can "cook up something as a substitute for fact.
