Hypochondriac, but Hopeful.
When a democrat makes up his mind to be
uu:.appy, It can be the most doleful thing im-
finable. If you do not believe this, look over
the lugubrious editorials and cartoons of our con
lemporary, which is trying to smooth the way
tor its owner's return to the senate by sing
ing the blues. Congress reduces thc tax bill of
the nation, lightens the load on 2,500,000 heads
of families cuts expenses of thc government,
stops putting money into warships, decreases the
army, and does everything it can do to straighten
out the muss the democrats created, and the
World-Herald imitates Harry Lauder's brother
Jock, and weeps as it contemplates the national
debt.
Who created that national debt? Under whose
administration, in time of profound peace, did
the government begin to fall a round million
dollars a day behind its income? Who in two
years changed a republican surplus of $350,000,
(00 into a democratic deficit of like amount?
And when war came on, who was it that led the
procession while waste and extravagance ran
Hot to the tune of several billions of dollars?
What president was it that threatened with a
veto any attempt on part of congress to revise
f. revenue law under which the entire nation
groaned, or to amend a tariff bill he pronounced
"the best ever devised," but which had proven
inadequate?-
And, when the legislature of Xebraska, called
together by the governor for the purpose, cuts
The tax bill of i the state more than two millions
of dollars, who is it that shakes his head and
dolorously complains that there still remains some
tax to pay. , ,
Who was it that looked on approvingly when
the boards and commissions were multiplying in
Nebraska under the democratic governors, but
has hsd one conniption fit after another be
cause a republican governor has reduced those
boards in number, co-ordinated their efforts,
headed o.f t'ir'r interference and overlapping, and
made the '. - iness of running the state approach
something .i.- efficiency, producing service and
saving money? ;
. Senator Hitchcock's newspaper evidently be
lieves the people of Nebraska have short
memories. , It is hypochondriac, but hopeful.
f. Between Ulster and Ireland.
Sir James Craig does not cut a very digni
fied figure as he scurries away to London, look
ing for support in his dispute with "Mick" Col
lins over the boundaries between north and south
Ireland. Collins rather has the better of the
argument, so far as the disposition of the people
is concerned, a greater part of Ulster having
shown its sympathy for the free state movement
long before that came into existence. Now that
it is an established fact, no good reason exists
to suppose that these same Irishmen have
changed their minds and are willing to continue
with Belfast in the union. Arthur Griffith's ut
terance should content the Ulstermen. He says
no attempt will be made to .coerce any part of
Ulster that votes to stay out of the Free State,
nor will there be any toleration of an attempt to

words, now mat mc iiiathci ia icicucu iu
Irish, and any trouble will be between Irishmen,
it is the wish of the new government that the
matter be settled without resort to violence. As
to the government at London, it will very likely
send Sir James home to his people, with a re
newal of the pledge that England will not be
a party to the coercion of either Ulster or the
Free State of Ireland. However, it also seems
safe to assume that there will be no coercion,
for the northern Irishmen are amenable to rea
son, and see their plain advantage in living in
harmony with their neighbors and countrymen.
The Free State of Ireland is moving on to its
destiny with both grace and prudent celerity.

- Dwei Hat Made Good.
Having turned an Inevitable deficit into the
u-clcompropect of an all but assured aurplut,
Charlei G. Dawes, director of the budget, is
now before the country in the admirable posf
tion of one who hat made good in a difficult
portion. Theoretically, the budget system would
work like a charm; what it would do in a practi
cal application of it principles none could say in
advance. It it a departure from custom as old
as the government; in tome respects it is extra
constitutional, for the fundamental law provide
that all appropriation measure must originate
In the house of representatives. A wall of trad!
tion and departmental inertia stretched across
its pathway, and to an ordinary soul the tak
of breaking through these would have appeared
a dreary one.
General Dawes found it much to his liking,
however. The "hell and Maria" spirit applied
here with such neatness that the general waded
into the budget Job with zest and determination.
He made no bone about what lie thought wa
needed, but told the cabinet officer., bureau
heads, chief clerk and the rest just what they
might expect. So far he has not brought about
every improvement he hoped to install, but he
has located a lot of the holes and plugged so
many of them that the president says the secre
tary of the treasury will write the balance in
black instead of red ink at the end of the fiscal
year.
Unc!e Sam may not have "Charley" Dawes on
his pay roll permanently, although he is needed,
but for the sake of the country's porketbook
it Is devoutly to be wished that the methods in
stalled by the director of the budget take root
and grow as strongly as did the wasteful prac
tices he has broken down.
America's Oil Resources
Little Reason to Worry at
Prtaant Over Future Supply.
' ; ; e I Rearranging the Army. '
General Pershing's recommendation to con
gress that the number of commissioned officers
in the army be cut from 17,000 to 12,000 has
more than its saving of money to support it.
On the basis of a fighting force of 150,000, which
is the limit sought at present, the existing roster
of 17,000 commissioned officers means more than
pne to each ten enlisted men. Such an arrange
ment la absurd. On a war footing the ratio is
about 1 to 30. Conceding that a considerable
part of the present force is occupied with the
traininr work given to officers only, the topheavy
aspect is not relieved.
' The situation is not one of the officer's mak
ing, however, as congres must bear almost en
tirely the responsibility for the over-balance.
At the end of the war, when the demobilization
was in progress, officers went back to civil life
as rapidly and readily as did the men. After
a time it was discovered that a real shortage of
officers ex?fed. and that manv more must be
Balfour on the Conference.
When the Washington conference concluded
its work on Saturday and adjourned without
day, it completed a remarkable record of achieve
ment. Its scope and purpose definitely out
lined in the agenda, confronted with questions
fraught with admitted danger, and requiring ex
treme delicacy in approach, the assemblage has
produced a signal triumph for American
diplomacy, the shirt-sleeve variety, that believes
in straightforward bargaining when the future
welfare of the world is at stake. Arthur J.
Balfour, head of the British delegation, sum
ming up at the conclusion, said:
Exactly 12 weeks ago the president of the
United States, in an eloquent speeh in which
he inaugurated our meeting, asked us'to ap-'
proach our labor.3 with full consciousness that
we were working for the welfare of mankind.
Looking back over that 12 weeks, I think
we may say without undue self-esteem that the
advice" so nobly tendered has been taken and
we have had a consciousness that we were
working in the service of mankind.
Adding that the "great moral questions have
been met," Mr. Balfour stated that any nation
which did not recognize the work of the con
ference, particularly as regards China, will be
considered outside the comity of nations. In
plain words, the treaties adopted and the under
standings recorded thereunder, are for the guid
ance of all the world, as well as for the signatory
powers. "
The Washingtdti conference has achieved all
that was promised for it, even to producing
results of greater merit and more expansive in
fluence than those coming from Paris. President
Hardings' service to world-peace will loom
bigger as the result of his idea is belter un
derstood. '
