In the present predicament al! proposals for economy deserve tention. The Society for the Prevention of Municipal Waste and the Protection of Property Rights offers bold plan to keep down the fax rete. It would consolidate the Department of Bridges with the, Department of Docks, put parks and libraries exch under one admin istrative head, have the work of the Commissioners of Accounts done im the Comptroller's Office, make the City Record « department of purchase, force the Public Service Commission to cut its engineering | bill in half, abolish the City Chamberlain's office, “get rid of #ecre-| taries who spend their time attending to the private and social bus-| eee of their superiors”—and by resolute pruning along similar lines save close to $18,000,000 on the city’s annual expenses. Whatever can be said for or against the programme in detail, that fe the way the head of any private corporation would set to work to| repair the resulis of extravagance and protect the interests of his stockholders.

The Serbians are near the end of their resistance. Tivir aged King already talks of “dying with his country.” Austro-German forces are in touch with the Bulgarian army on the Danube, Teuton armies are advancing along a hundred mile front, the Serbians have lost 150 miles of railroad, besides river porte, and the Germans are almost ready to begin shipping supplies to Con- stantinople, Meanwhile the allies, with a quarter of a million troops accorn- plishing nothing on the Gallipoli peninsula, are unable to send enough from other quarters to do more than harry the resistless German “march into the Balkans, Germany and Germany only seems to have armies to spare. In the north von Hindenburg pushes through the Dvinsk region deter- mined to take Riga before full winter. Jn the west a 250-mile jer- man line holds firm. Nevertheless the Kaiser can still detagh huge armies to overrun the Balkans! The German flag is not that upon which the sun never sets. But at the present moment we have to admit it is not the biggest empire that is fighting imperially. . Detective Held for Causing Panic on Subway Train.— Headline. As they-used to say in Rome: “Who'll police the police?” a A SINGULAR CASE. 'T IS surprising to the lay mind to learn that a man can lie un- conscious in # hospital forty-three days and die before the dvc- tors discover that three inches of a fountain pen barrel have been into his brain through his eye. Yet it happened in a Brooklyn hospital and the police who hed found the man senseless in a vacant lot dropped the case because the eurgeons failed to specify his injuries. The Coroner who ordered tac autopsy asked why there had been no X-ray examination, said scati- ing things about the treatment of charity patients, and demanded an investigation. It is rare for a hospital in this city to be charged with neglectiny police cases or patients of any sort who have neither money nor friends. Those in charge of the Brooklyn institution must realizu the importance of clearing themselves of the imputation. Any doctor may fail to see all that is wrong with a patient. But in a hospital the question of money should have nothing to do with the thoroughness of the examination. : Hits From Sharp Wits. The mind reader is never @ man of Wide reading.

By Mrs. Thomas J. Preston Jr. (Formerly Mre. Grover Cleveland.) F women were given the vote, it seems to-me they would throw away } &@ power they have, which has accomplished and is accomplishing won- derful results in the larger improvement of general conditions, A group’ of women who are non-voters and not affiliated with any political party are in much better position to ask for and get the reform measures they desire. If they were voters and allied with a political party their motives would be questioned, and the opposition party would make it much more difficult to grant such a request or put through the legislation sought. To-day it is the good women of the community who are striving for ideals in the community, Isn't such @ force, active in the community, much stronger standing alone asking for something which such an influence represents than a similar force weighted with an undesirable influence? Women of to-day, in their active co-operation for better conditions, repre- sent a perfectly good working organization, We have not fully tried oug this system, and I think we should before we vote to bring about a change, A woman's political party would represent the un*»sirable as well ag the desirable women, and, as I have sald, there would not be the same results accomplished as thereyare now with the good women of the com- munity working for a specific object. for Children poke with her foot and it woke him Jungle Tales YE night there was a terrible noise in Mister Elephant's | up. bungalow and it woke Mrs.| ‘What's the dttor?” asked the big Elephant up. fellow, She Hstanad and listened and finally ae are snoring,” replied bis good wire, she said to herself: “That must be my good husband snoring.” She stood it as long as she could and then she reached out with her foot and gave him a good kick.
