DefeCtive Work

HAVE you ever walked along an
ocean beach or the sandy shore of
some large inland lake and seen queer
markings in the sand which were not
the work of human beings nor yet of
the waves or the rain? And have you
studied the little marks and learned
the story Of some gull, perhaps, which
had landed for moment and dragged
its find Of dead fish along the beach
for few feet, or discovered the light
and dainty tracks of a whole flock Of
merry little sanderlings? 1t is more

A Duty to Liberalism
(New York World -Telegram)

tNew York World-T Telegram)
 President Roosevelt is working on a new message to Congress concerning relief expenditures and the budget 4
 What he says in that message and how Congress reacts to what he says will determine whether the seven-year policy of government borrowing is to be projected into hazardous future be brought to definite and necessary close.+ ~ L
 Once before this administration made sincere but shortived attempt to balance outgo with income That was early in 1883, when the Economy act and the Presidents orders carrying it out topped approxl matey billion dollars off the budget then projected. But political and economic pressures of that time speedily restored that billion and added several more billions to the governments spending program.
 Today circumstances radically altered. There still strong political pressures for spending But big scale pump prming has ceased to be press ing necessity. Although the need for relief at the bottom of the economic scale continues, employment is rapidly increasing measure of prosperity has turned to the farms and factories, and commerce moves in a swelling volume Instead of inflationary spending and borrowing, todays most urgent need is for deflatonary economies and taxation to bring the governments budget quickly into balance and provide steadying influence to curb the threat of runaway prices lest they devour the counys purchasing and ruin recovery.
 Let us therefore hope that the President and Congress will not approach this problem in the cavalier manner that has been evident through the borrow and-spend years. Let hope instead and let us as
  President and Congress address themselves to the task with the determination and courage that it's magni tude commands. 5ts
 It will be difficult The governments tax reve- nues for the current fiscal year will be approximately one billion dollars less than the President estimated few months ago. about 600 millions less if ex- cude the drop in receipts anticipated from the spec a funds levies for rail pensions and social security
 The deficit this year probably will exceed three billion dollars, bringing the accumulated public debt increase for the depression recovery period to than twenty-two billions
 Estimates Of for the next fiscal year must be reduced in line with this years disappointing turns Realities should compel to revise our ex- penditures accordingly Then, when revised if they still do not meet the only honorable and safe way put will be to readjust federal taxes to get whatever additional is necessary bring those figures into balance
 The Roosevelt administration has less than four years to go In that time the President wants to bring about many liberal reforms that will make for better life among people of whom he finds one- third to be ill-fed ill-clothed, ill-housed.
 His ambition is a noble one. To achieve it he should keep in mind his warning uttered four years ago There the Presidents worlds
 Too often in recent history liberal governments have been wrecked rocks of loose fiscal policy. We must avoid this danger"

THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1887
 According to astrology this is not an important day in planetary di- rection. Venus smiles on the in- terests of women, especially upor their romances.
 This should be a happy wedding |day. Brides may be inclined to- ward secrecy regarding former love affairs. Long partnership is pre- |saged. t
 There is sign indicating deter mined movements that seek to prevent drinking, especially among women in society. Agitation for pro- Ihibition will be revived. Something unfavorable affecting the navy is foreseen. There may be an accident to a warship or the close of an important career among United States naval officers.
 Young folks probably will fine this an suspicious date for dances and other recreations. It is lucky rule under which to become en- gagged.
 The stars favor the retirement Iof persons of middle age and ad- vanced age from positions of inn portance. In the new era, now well started, the rising generation will take over the helm.
 Gossip may be widespread under this configuration Those who are wise will bridle not only their tongues but their thoughts. Return to conservative customs in dress and entertaining is prog nosticated. Lines now will be drawn between those who observe tradi- tional good manners and those who are inclined toward too much hi- larity.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of great indulgence in sentiment. Happiness and contentment will be the lot of many men and women.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be lovers of beauty. Ar lists and poets belong to this sign of Taurus.
 Lorado Taft, American sculptor was born on this day 1860. Others who have celebrated it as birth day include Edward Rowland Sill poet and educator, 1841; Matthew Vassar, philanthropist, 1792; A. H J. Sutro, mining engineer, 1830

MAKING A BEST SELLER"

Not even the publicity attending the sale of the book "The Nine Old Men" when Chief Justice Hughes caused street pedder to be arrested in front of the Temple of Justice could be favorable to the sale of volume that attending the latest effort "Coro- nation Commentary"
 This book reported to cast aspersions at the ex- King of England the Duke of Windsor, first ran into difficulties with the former Monarch him. self who insisted that it be withdrawn from sale thus of course making it best seller over night.
 Now the former King Edward has brought libel suit alleging that the volume among other things described him as "mudding fuddng and meddling' when King.
 American publishers announced the action will not stop the sale of the book in the United States.
 What could be sweeter for book sales? If the book isn't worth the paper it is written on it should return the author tidy royalty for the simple reason that it has aroused royal ire.

Army Bans False Teeth
 from Birdman in Air

WASHINGTON. April 28.-Little did the Wright Brothers know what discomforts their flying machine ultimately would bring to army fly CTS.
 Now comes the army flight sur geons with an order that all army aviators wearing false. teeth shall dispense with them before taking flights. The surgeons figure the army's air didoes have tendency to cause false teeth to jump from pilots mouths.
 The trouble is the teeth don't al- ways jump out. When they drop down the aviators throat he is likely to choke to death.

 The famous Calico Cat may have it's canine counterpart if fashion marches to it's logical clusion
 The latest thing in fashion, we are told, is for to have dog to match her costume. This new note will be struck in New York show Manikins dressed in black will have black dogs black leashes Manikins in beige will have beigecolored dogs with beige-colored leashes. white poodle will proudly trail white creation in nousseline de soie etc, etc
 Whatever else may think of this innovation, it's great break for dog breeders Before long, the really wel-dressed woman may be required to have her kennel with dogs of varied colors available at all hours.
 A little time may be required to develop orchid colored pups coes with hair of gold but presum- ably these difficulties be surmouned by an inter- for decorator if not by dog fancier.

HE WAS NO SISSY

There must be great many mid
dle-aged male Americans who feel 4
very special sense of pride that
Vivian Burnett died a hero's death.
He was the original Little Lord
Tauntleroy.
He spent most of his 81 years
trying strenuously to live down the
fact that his mother, Frances
Hadgson Burnett, had taken him as
a model for the excessively sweet
and noble Cedric of her famous
story. "I was a perfectly normal
boy" he used to say; Il got just as
dirty as the other boys"
Thousands of other members OF
his generation know from painful
experience what he suffered. Their
mothers tried to make Fauntleroys
of them. They had to wear velvet
suits and long golden curls when
their ambition was to look lika
Huckleberry Finn and act like
Peck's Bad Boy Some of oug
toughest he-men, beyond doubt, got
that way in rebellion against the af-
front to their young masculinity for
which the Fauntleroy vogue was re-
sponsible. The legion of eXFaunt
leroys should glcry in knowing that
their prototype, Vivian Burnett, was
willing to strain his aging heart be-
yond endurance to rescue four per
sons from drowning in Long Island
Sound. Columbus Citizen.
