it appears that Congressman How ards proposition is timely and worthy of adoption.
A HATED WATCHDOG

There sits in government office in Washington today one of the most cordially hated men who ever serv- ed Uncle Sam. He stands guard over the nations pocketbook and has all the old-time watch-dogs of the treasury backed off the map.
 He is Comptroller General Me Carl, who has the final word con- corning all disbursements of gov- ernment moneys. If any bills or claims against the government are not strictly in accordance with law, they do not get by McCarl. And that is why many other officials don't like him.
 There isn't much that they can do about it, however, for he is ap- pointed for fifteen years and can be removed from office only through impeachment by Congress. So long as his rulings are in accordance with the law there isn't much chance of that.
 Among the many items which he has disallowed are bills for flowers for deceased officials, use of taxis by Army officers riding less than four blocks, black gowns for federal judges, photographs for publicity purposes, transportation of an ad- miral's wife from China, and ex- penses of phohibition agents who lost money in poker games while getting evidence.
 But while the McCarl policy of strict adherence to red tape meth ods has no doubt eliminated some petty graft, it has not always been economical A lot of correspondence was indulged in and several legal opinions were invoked over the claim of a government clerk for $1.50 spent for lunch. It required three type written pages to explain why rail- roads claim for 56 cents was dis allowed, and so on.
 So, in view of the many trivial items which involve legal research and controversial correspondence it is doubtful whether any great sav- ing to the taxpayers results from i MT. McCarl's extreme Watchfulness.

CIVICS IN SCHOOLS

An important feature of the pub lie school curriculum is the study of civics; in fact, it may be considered one of the most important, inasmuch as the principal aim of education is to prepare young people for the re- responsibilities of citizenship.
 In this connection, Congressman Edgar Howard of Nebraska has an idea. It is that the course in civics might be made more practical and more interesting by the introduction of material bearing on current leg islative matters.
 With that end in view he has in troduced in Congress a joint resolu- ton providing that upon the request of any state or county superintend- ent, or the head of any public or par ochial high school, a copy of the Con- ed regularly during each session. These copies would be supplied to high schools only, and only upon the request of officials concerned.
 There appears to be no valid ob- jection to the plan possible, as the expense of supplying the Record would be negligible. It would cer- tainly be enlightening and helpful to students of civics to have ready access to the debates on current is- sues of the day and to see just how the business of the government is conducted in Congress.
 Everything possible should be done to create a greater interest in government on the part of the com ing generation, and with this in mind

entirely unfamiliar with work. How
ever. as a wedding present, his father
gives him title to an island called
"Paradise'' In the South Sea group.
Teddy, mad with jealousy. and seeing
an opportunity for revenge on Tony

Tony and his bride to the island on

object of Teddy's villainy and has sew
