Thus Artemus.Ward, a mid-Victorian with a very modern sense of humor, In some such spirit, paraphrased to meet 1921 conditions, might be described the u Message of Budget Director Charles G. Dawes, transmitting to congress, with the ap- “Proval of the president, the first complete budget of the United States ever prepared There are 62 closely printed pages in Gen. Dawes’ message, but the spirit may be “It cost $5,538,040,689.30 to run this country for the fiscal year ending June 30th ” says Gen. Dawes, in effect, “but, Helen Maria! That is too much. We must save The budget for the year ending next June 30 is hereby set for $3,967, Some change, I'll tell the world. “Then there's 1923, which requires some peering into the future, I'll admit. !! What am I paid for if not to peer into the future? deliberation, I have set down the figures for 1923 at $3,505,754,727, a still further avi of $462,167,639, or a grand total saving of over two billion dollars!” ‘When it comes to receipts, the figures show last year’s total to have been $86,892,000 z than expenditures.

Workmen Not Fools An active and apparently well organized campaign of propa ganda is under way to discredit the action of the limitation of armaments conference in the only big decision thus far made, viz, to reduce the dreadnought and battleship forces of the world's Bavies. Movie theatres are being deluged wit), news pictures showing great battleships, “doomed to the junk pile by the action of the confer- ence,” and sorrowful legends set- ting forth the vast losses to the workingmen accompany such ac tion in large sized type. The propaganda is’ false and will fail of its purpose. The American workingman is me fool. He knows that battle ships bailt at vast cost to be sunk into the sea or to rot in barbor are not going to bring anything but higher taxes and higher prices for everything he has to buy. To stop building useless dread- noughts at $40,000,000 each isn't much of a revolution. Nor will sach action alone bring peace to the world. But it is a step in the right direction and all the paid propaganda in the world will not stop the march of progress. Lots of people worry themaclves to death about keeping alive. Bt. Louis twins born in a tazt must be bouncing baby boys. Men who take things seriously get away with them, A Result of Whispering Advocates of full and complete publicity for the conference on limitation of armaments can now say, “I told you so.” Had all the sessions of the delegates been conducted in the open there could have been ne eceasion for the cabling of mis- leading dispatches to Italy which caused demonstrations against the French in Rome, Turin, Milan and other cities. Of course, Premier Briand did not say what he was reported to have said. Not only did Briand make for- mal denial, but so did Viviani, his successor as chief of the French delegation; Senator Schanser, head of the ‘Italian delegation; likewise Secretary of State Hughes, chairman of the confer. ence. Bat had there been open ses- sions or even fall and unedited official reports of the t sen sions the mistake could not have occurred. Fortunately the tempest has blown over, But the conference has now reached a stage where interna- tional suspicions are taking the place of the initial world-wide feeling of brotherly love, Secrecy makes for misunder- standings. It lends itself to mis- chievous misinterpretations, From the way they tussle about the floor, “dance haul” is correct. SPIRIN WARNING! Say ‘Bayer’ when you buy Aspirin.
