HERE'S something which, we believe, is abso- Hi, mew upon the subject of what to do for the unemployed. _ A newspaper of a neighboring city published a very affecting story about a locomotive engineer faked Jones, who, through sickness, had lost his job and finally found himself, wife and seven chil- without home or food.

In 1861, Alex- ander II freed 50 million serfs, by proclamation, and in 1914, WWicholas makes one-sixth of the earth's surface and one-tenth of its population “dry” by proclamation. How about justice for the Jews and equal rights, Nick? The magnificent commerce of Germany has disappeared from the oceans of the world. It is shallow to say that British cruisers sailing the seven seas are alone* responsible for that tremendous fact. The real destroyers of German world commerce are Britain's silent superdreadnaughts lying in wait—behind fields of mines, if you please—but lying in Wait for the German navy to come -out in the open and defend its commerce. Those superdreadnaughts at anchor in England's inlets, with steam up, are just as much on the offensive as though they sailed boldly around the North sea, exploding mines with their keels. To kill all of Germany's commerce while all of England’s commerce is free is a far weater victory than if the British battleships sailed straight into the mouth of the Plbe and blew up the whole German navy.

Dealing in millions and billlons, in a network of relations which encircle the earth, he has to be mighty careful not to get his accounts snaried up. We wonder how he ever does it! Yet every penny is publicly accounted for every day Maybe a glance into one of the “daily statements” of the U. §. treasury (a four-page leaflet crammed full of figures) would be of interest. At random let's choose one, a very recent one. On that day our big Uncle had In his strong box $1,905,310, 257,290. Of this tidy surn—enough, if distributed, to buy every one of us four Fords—$863,901,452.83 was in gold coin (though how they figured the @3 odd cents in gold coin we're blamed if we know). There were 498 140,282 actual silver doll there e $300,967.877 in gold bullion; $20,882,577.73 In minor sliver coin; $3,382,905.93 In silver bullion and $1,971,195.83 In pennies and nickels. Also there was $131,188,144.03 in paper money or certified bank checks. But don’t think this was all velvet. Threefourths of it was offset by gold and sitver certificates afloat among the folks which Uncle must stand ready to redeem. Two huncred odd millione were owing to various departments of the government for running expenses not yet drawn. The veivet wae only $233,047.549.20. On that dey there came into the treasury from customs dui $672,994.09; from internal duties, $901,888.69; from the coi and income tax, $5,464.12; from money turned in by bankers to re tire bank notes, $14,000, ant from postoffices and other agencies, $10,261,753,43, meking the day's total income $12,023,415.38. But the leaving the box office | Mor of us handle our finances by instinct and habit, keeping good. littic sample story, perhaps, a new idea of how carefully Uncic Sam keeps his books. Whether he gets dollar for dollar in va.ue fcr what he spends is, of course, another story. BILL BEFORE CONGRESS WOULD | AUTHORIZE UNCLE SAM TO MAKE 4 .
