A BUDGET SYSTEM After congress gets the big revenue bill out of the way, and finishes the job of appropriating more billions than Great Britain, France and Italy together have ever appropriated in one year, maby the House of Repre- sentatives will be willing to adopt a businesslike budget system so that it will know hereafter how much money it is spending and what the expendi- tures are for. By a simple resolution, centraliz-- ing the responsibility for appropria- tion bills in a single committee, the House could effect a reform that would save it an immense amount of time and confusion, increasing legis- lative efficiency and saying the coun- try perhaps several hundred million dollars a year. ee GIVING THEM WAR. The Germans begin now to realize what war is. We are giving them war as they have made it, with all their diabolical improvements in the art of killing, and giving it to them with Yankee improvements, in measure filled up and running over. The shells falling on the Metz forts so far are merely mild ‘‘strafing” to what is to come a little later on. Many a city of the Rhineland country and beyond will yet leatfn by bitter exper- ience the devastation and sorrow that Germany has visited on the fair cit- ies of France and Belgium. The Germans are already beginn- ing to understand that, and are quak- ing with fear- eee eee POISONING WELLS. From time immemorial the poison- ing of springs and wells has been re- garded, by civilized men, and by most savages, as one of the most despicable crimes to which human beings can sink. Always in wars between na- tions making any claim to culture and decency, the water which means life to man and beast has been respected. Always, that is, until the present war. Germany changed that, as she chang- ed so many other tihngs, when she set about to Germanize the world and rewrite all law, tradition and custom. We have long been familiar with the noisoning of wells by the Germans in their African campaign. Sporadic cases have developed now and then in Europe, but there never appeared to be any established practice of the sort. Now the diabolical practice has been adopted on the western front, as a fit climax to the razing of towns, the blowing up of roads and the des- truction of every living thing in the rage of the Huns at being driven from | £ urred plains of I In pleasant contrast to the battle palace gardens, England, formerly the ‘AS MAINE GOES, SO GOES UNIGN’ (Continued from Page 1.) | ‘= republican, was returned by a plu- rality of 2,241.

Mr. Reed is known as a young writer of brilliant attainments, but of a radi- eal, socialistic turn of mjnd that of late has frequently brought him afoul of the law. Born in Portland, Ore., in 1887, he found his way to Harvard University and there attracted at- tention by his gifts as a writer. After leaving the university he became a magazine writer and as such was sent to Europe at the beginning of the war to report conditions in Russia, Turkey, France and other countries. When he returned to New York he joined the staff of “The Masses,” and it was his writtings in this periodical that were responsible for his present trouble. le, —E Pe Ree 7 : 5 | Todav’s Anniversaries anal [693_The ring-bavonet was first ad- opted by the British. 1777—The State government of Pennsylvania was removed to Lansaster. 1784—-Zachary Taylor, whose popu- larity as a Mexican war hero won him the Presidency, born in Or- ange county, Va.

(By Mail.)— Psychology sharks who argue that en- vironment makes or unmakes a man should listen to the case of Serg. Jo- seph Simard. Before the war Simard was a famous chef in the kitchen of the Ru n embassy, which he made famous among epicures by setting up the most delicate. dinners in Paris. A few d ago Simard was killed while charging a German machine gun emplacement. He won seven cita- tions for conspicuous bravery and had been wounded 12 times during the war.
