Washington, Nov. 14.—Complete re organization of the Government execu tive departments is contemplated by the incoming Republican administra tion as among its first moves for-bet terment. Among the chief moves in bringing this about are the aboliton, of the De partment of the Interior and the crea tion of a Department of Public Works and a Department of Public Welfare, with the head of each in the cabinet. For this great change Senator Medill McCormick, of Illinois, will in troduce a bill at the beginning of the final session of the present Congress next month. He has worked out a comprehensive plan. The functions of the Interior De partment have become somewhat mini mized if not obsolute. With the de velopment of the W.est, the General Land Office is not what it used to be. Nor is the Office of Indian Affairs. The Bureau of Pensions has been some what superseded by the War Risk. It is believed by McCormick that the Geological Survey, the Reclamation Service and the Bureau of Mines should be transferred to a Department “* of Public Works. To this he would add the river and harbor work now ^ dpne by the War Department, and such other bureaus as would fit in. To the Department of Public Wel fare he would give the Bureau of Education, the functions of which would be greatly enlargedthe Wo men’s Bureau in the Department of Labor, all units which touch upon the condition of women and children, and other and newer functions. While it is true that all bureaus and departments of the Federal Govern ment are supposed to subserve the public welfare, and while the suggest ed name of Department of Public Wel fare may be different when the law is finally enacted by Congress, this De partment will take over all the social work of the Government, including the Bureau of War Risk. It is the idea of the Republican party leaders to develop good roads as much as possible, and this would be one of the chief duties of the Depart ment of Public Works. The depart ment which Senator Harry New, of Indiana, had in mind for the develop ment of aircraft, would probably be carried out in the Public Works end, though probably reduced to a bureau. With full power in the House, Senate and presidency, the Republicans in Congress are looking forward to a con structive program. During the past year and a half they have been handi capped by a majority of only two in the Senate, an* by a President and cabinet wholly at variance with them. But after the 4th of March they will be able to carry their views into full effect. Thus one of the first measures to go through, and probably without change, will be the budget bill. This was vetoed by President Wilson be cause it slightly diminished his power; that is it made subject to the will of Congress the taxing and appropriat ing power of the Government, the auditor general who would see to the prevention of waste through overlap ping estimates. It is likely, too, that now that the Republicans ‘are coming into full power they will see that there will be an entire reclassification of the Gov ernment departmental clerks, and in fact of all employees of the Govern ment. Some of -the salaries paid are at the same rate as in 1890. Then, too, the departments are notoriously out of date in many of their methods. This fact, together with the incom petency, waste and high-handedness of the Wilson administration from top to bottom, has made necessary a com plete reorganization, which will be forthcoming after March 4. EXPENSE OF CANDIDATES. (Continued from page four.) S. S. Riley, petition candidate, who made a successful race for supervisor in the Sixth district, expended $15.50. This was expended for cards, adver tising and hotel expenses. R. R. Dickson, in making his win ning race for dstrict judge, expended nothing, except money for personal ex penses, for stationary and postage, for writing and printing and distributing letters, circulars and posters; these items not required to be listed as cam paign expenses. II. M. Uttley expended $60.00 for hotel expenses in making his race for district judge. Judge C. J. Malone spent $49.71 in making his race for re-election as county judge of Holt county. The money was spent for advertising. The Butler’s Complaint. “There would be fewer divorces,” said Gen. Baxter Sweeney at a Knox ville luncheon, “if discipline were ob served in marriage—if the rules of politeness held them as elsewhere. “A Knoxville butler the other day resigned his job. “ ‘Why are you quitting, Hallibur ton?’ a brother butler asked him. “ ‘Because they treat one so badly,’ was the answer. Why, they treat me as one of the family! The mistress calls me an old fool as often as she does her husband.’ ” Boston Transcript: “So Helen Strongminded is to be married to Mr. Wurm.” “Not exactly. Helen says he is to be married to her.” “Oh, yes, of course. She’s asked you to be her bridesmaid, hasn’t she?” “No, she asked me to be her besf woman.” Not Timet Enough. Sir Thomas Lipton told at a New York luncheon party about a profiteer: “A profiteer,” he said, “bought a magnificent steam yacht and went yachting in the Mediterranean. Off the Spanish coast the yacht hft a rock and sank. The profiteer had a very narrow escape from drownnig. “ ‘Yes,’ he said, afterward, ‘I had a narrow escape. I thought I was done for. However, some Spanish fisher men rescued me at last, and I was put ashore at Alicante.’ “ ‘Tradition has it,’ said the profi teer’s companion, ‘that when a man is straggling hopelessly in the water for his life he remembers every single evil deed he ever committed. Was this so in your case?’ “ ‘Well, not altogether,’ said the profiteer. ‘You see I war. only strug gling about eleven hours.’ ” Gross Ignorance. Boston Transcript: A Pittsburg lawyer was conducting a case in court not long agro and one of the witnesses, a burly negro, confessed that at the time of his arrest he was engaged in a crap game. Immediately the lawyer said: “Now, sir, I want you to tell the jury just how you deal craps.” “Wass dat?” asked the witness, rolling his eyes. “Address the jury, sir,” thundered the lawyer, “and tell them just how you deal craps.” "Lemme outen lieah!” cried the wit ness uneasily. “Fust thing I know this gemman gwin to ask me how to drink a sandwitch.” No News In It. Titus Titmouse was infuriated, but the editor of the Western Wind shut him up in two seconds. “Is this the % • newspaper office?” inquired Mr. Tit mouse. “It is,” responded the man at the desk. “Didn’t this paper say I was a liar?” “It did not.” “Didn’t it say I was a scoundrel?” “It did not.” “Well, some paper said it.” “Possibly it was our contemporary down the street,” suggested the editor, as he picked up a paper weight. “This paper never prints stale news.” Junior the Joker. Youngstown Telegram: “Pop?” “Well, Junior—” “Got a silver dollar in your pocket?” “Yes, but—” “Lend it to me a little while; I’ll give it back.” “But why do you want a silver dol lar?” “I want to try it in my slingshot." “Shoot it?” “Yep.” “What for?” “Oh, just for* the novelty of seeing a dollar go a long way.” Don’t Forget The Cash and Carry Store \ 8 Pound Sugar ....$1.00 1 Sack Cream Choice Flour . 3.25 1 Sack Our Best Flour... 3.25 10 lb Sacks Yellow Corn Meal.60 White Karo Syrup, per gallon.85 Dark Karo Syrup, per gallon.80 j; Half gallon Karo White Syrup...... .50 s;: Half gallon Dark Karo Syrup.45 Fancy Rice, per pound.*.15 Smoked Special Squares Bacon, per pound.35 Perfection Tomatoes, per can.15 Two Cans Corn . 25 Morris June Peas, per can...14 ijj; Nomis Pork and Beans, 2 cans for ... 25 Five Gallon Kerosine ... 1.10 Four Pound Special Coffee. 1.00 High Grade Monarch Coffee, per pound .....50 33 1-3 per cent off on all Ladies Coats, made of best material, con- i . sisting of Broadcloth, Silvertone and j - Plush. 30% off on all Men’s and Children’s Clothing. , We are also giving Big Discounts on everything in the Store, come and see them for yourselves.
