Jn this phase of his policy he says: + “tfavor the policy of economy, not because I wish tu: jave money, but because I wish to save people. The men td women of this country who toil are the ones who bear he cost of government. Every dollar that we carelessly Waste means that their life will be so much the mbre mea- ser. Every dollar that we prudently save means that their ife will be so much more abundant.” A truism most excellently phrased. The public demands. etrenchment in governmental expenses. Excessive taxa- ion paralyzes business and the first person to feel the »inch of business retrenchment that follows in the wake of tigh taxes is the wage earner. President Coolidge is driv- ng home a much needed lesson. : Half of his address is devoted to domestic problems and the rest to our foreign relations. He proposes to adhere ® the traditional policies in handling of foreign affairs and he attitude of his administration is reflected in these sen- ences: “We have been and propose to be more and more Amer- ean. If we have any heritage, it has been that. If we jave any destiny we have found it,is that direction.” * He has reiterated advocacy to American adherence to dhe Permanent Court of International Justice. Firmly, towever, he says: . “But there is a very definite point beyond which we cannot go. We:can only help those who help themselves.” In the final lines of his message President Coolidge sounds note that should inspire,every American: ’ “America seeks no earthly empire built on blood and force. No ambition, no temptation lures her to thought 3f foreign dominions. The legions which she sends forth are armed, not with the sword, but with the cross. The higher state to which she seeks allegiance of all mankind is not of human, but of divine origin. She cherishes no purpose save to merit the favor of Almighty God.” ATTITUDE TOWARD PUBLIC DOLLAR When Commissioner Henzler decided to leave Bismarck ast September no demand was made upon him to resign. 3ome eight months will have ‘elapsed before his term ex- fires. It was known when he left that he probably would 4ot return in time to serve the city. Some feeble protests were made and the question of resignation raised, but Com- missioner Henzler has continued to draw his pay ever since, some $40 a month for a period of eight or nine months without rendering any service to the city. , |The amount of money involved is not large, it is true, gut it shows the attitude existing at the City Hall toward pe public dollar. Commissioner Thompson has made many utile attempts to force economy and efficiency. He has been out voted on practically every issue of retrenchment. When the matter of handing T. R. Atkinson $7,800 was up, he fought against the payment but he has been in the minority on every move to save the tax-payer money. 4, It is hardly possible that the commissioners would con- luct their own business in that way. Why shoot the tax- payer’s dollars to the wind then? ; If Henzler did not want to resign when he knew he would be gone practically a year why did the pay go on? ,. Commissioner Thompson is authority for the Statement that the salary of Henzler has been paid each month while he is in the west on his vacation. How fine to have the taxpayers help finance a vacation! It is easy to see why taxes are high in Bismarck. And it should be still easier to correct the situation if he voters will only register their opposition to this way f conducting the public’s business. » ‘Taxpayers get just the kind of government they will ttand for. A newspaper can merely point the way.

Rowell Somebody should get out a dictionary of American stock fictions. ' First on the list would come the “party responsibility” which the reformers are supposed to have destroyed. There never was any such thing. Then the notion that any actual American standard is reflected in the efforts to make school children equal in dress and social expenditure, and to impose the simple life on diplo- mate aha high officials. If these are fine ideals, certainly they are not the ones We practice.

Fortune Telling goes on in New York in many forms, but it's never called by its name, The subject signs a paper, usually setting forth that what is about to ensue is in no way a telling of a fortune, but is a “reading,” either of bumps on the head, lines of the hand or letters in the name. Having signed, the subject hands over $10, sometimes less and sometimes more, and the “reading” ‘begins. —JAMES W. DEAN. Americas’ first poultry exhibition was held in Boston 75 years: ago.

True enough, as to the “great” music. But few people can appre- ciate greatness in anything, whether in music, art, literature or thought. | Good things do not have to be |great. There are great stories, which anybedy can enjoy, which do not as- pire tb rank with the Divine Com- edy, or The Ring and the Book.

If nine-tenths of the producers. want to cooperate, and one-tenth selfishly stay outside, to enjoy the benefits without sharing the bur-’ dens, that is their constitutional right. No law can coerce them in. There- fore their neighbors are tempted to do it lawlessly. N Of course it is not only wrong, but worse than wrong. It is useless. It defeats its’ own purpose, But it does illustrate that major- ities ‘are intolerant, and that only the constitution can protect minori- ties in their sacred right to be wrong. Who Makes a Better Leader? The chairman of the legislative committee of the American Farm Bureau charges that ‘Secretary Hoover “is seeking to dominate the agriculture of America.” Of course nobody ean or should “dominate” agriculture. But if anybody is to “lead” it, who is better adapted to its present crisis than Hoover? The urgent problems of agricul- ture are business ones. [Farmers have learned much: from experience and something from the scientific bureaus of the government on, meth- ods of producing crops. What they now need is to sell them, That is pure business. Who better can lead in that busi- ness task than the accepted leader of American business? a ae eee FABLES ON HEALTH FOR BABY’ Another bad habit, indulged in by many, many children, is eating be- tween meals. This takes away their appetite for food at mealtime. Of course if the child gets very hungry, he should be given ‘some food. But this food should be pla bread and butter or crackers an milk, providing the milk lunch is Children should never be given tea or coffee, not even to flavor milk.
