SAVING BY THE BUDGET. • Enforcing business methods in the affairs of the government means a saving of millions to the tax payers. Naturally those called upon to disburse millions grow a bit careless, especially if they know there is plenty more where that came from, and it is not their money anyhow. Old methods, clutter ing red tape, and sloth, have too long marked the administration of government bureaus. The budget system recently adopted by the gov ernment^ and now being rigidly enforced, to the discomfort of many clerks who formerly had little to do and now have nothing to do and are not on the payroll, and to the discomfort of many sellers of supplies to the government, is lopping off waste on the one side and getting the work it pays for on the other. Formerly the army bought its supplies and paid for them when its disbursing officers felt like it, and the sellers always considered this and quoted long prices. Now the army takes advantage of trade discounts on its bills for supplies, thereby saving some $200,000 during the last 12 months. A small sum, to be sure, when compared with the hundreds of millions the government expends, but it is a gratifying saving, more because it shows business methods in vogue than because of the amount saved. The Treasury department has also been taking its trade discounts, thereby saving more than $65,000 during the last 12 months. The tax department actuallv woke up and installed some billing machines and was able to save $40,000 by decreasing its force. Through the operations of the budget system the Panama canal was operated at a saving of $150,000. These are only a few of the savings made by installing a real business system in the governmental offices. A thousand and more little leaks were stopped up, thus diminishing the waste that had grown to be a flood. By eliminating waste, co-ordinating departments, abolishing sinecures and getting a dollar’s worth for each 100 cents expended, the bureau of the budget saved $50,000,000 last year, and instead of decreas ing governmental efficiency, actually increased it. In other words, the taxpayers got more for less. The budget system Is with us to stay. It will render better work as the years give it greater experience. All waste can not be stopped at once, but it will be steadily slowed up. THE REASONS TOO NUMEROUS. An anonymous writer drops a card into the editorial mail box to inquire why the daily news papers always mention divorce cases, and seldom call attention to examples of happy married life. The reasons are too numerous to mention, dear lady—for we judge by the handwriting that the anonymous writer belongs to the gentler sex. Per haps the best reason is that it isn’t news. When a dog bites a man the element of news is sadly lack ing, depending upon later developments. But should a man bite a dog the news clement is large. Happy married life is such a usual thing, so apparent on all sides of us, that there is no element of news there; only cause for self-congratulation and congratulations fox those who enjoy it. We are always eager to publish the portraits, with ap propriate explanatory remarks, of those who have journeyed hand in hand along the marital path for a half-century pr more. Not particularly because such incidents are properly news, but because they build up within us, and doubtless within our readers, a greater faith in human nature and a more abiding confidence in the future of the race. Not one of us but knows a hundred or more instances of happy married life, of complete love and loyalty and trust, for one that is otherwise. Were we to undertake to chronicle, day by day, every happy married couple within our ken, the demand for news print would create a famine in the market and result in prices even more exorbitant than the prices now demanded. Therefore, more to emphasize the fact that marriage is not wholly a failure, we content ourselves with brief mention of the occasional divorce case, extending mention only when the parties to the proceedings are very much in the public eye. No, dear anonymous one, there isn’t even the semblance of news about the fact that men and women continue to lead happy and contented married lives. It is a most commonplace fact; always has been; always will be. WE HEAVE A SIGH OF RELIEF. Assurances come from Architect Goodhue that the dark stains on the walls of the new capitol build ing will disappear in time, probably before the building i» completed. This gladsome tidings war rants a sigh of relief. Ilut how about some stains on the political struc ture of the state, political stains that have been visible for a great many years and do not seem to grow less visible with the passing years? Not to undert' k" to mention any large number of them, there is the stain of bombast about the wonderful ren;.e that is to be performed in behalf of the taxpayers, and no appreciable service rendered? The stain of unfulfilled promises to enforce rigid economy in the administration of state affairs? The stain of making places at the public trough for political favorites incompetent to handle the jobs given them and hanging on because they were useful during the camoaign and may be doubly useful in the next one? Nebraska, however, is not the only state thus stained. There are forty-seven others. Hut. while we heave a sigh of relief at the an nouncement that the stains on the walls of fhe new capitol building will fade away, how much greater the sigh of relief, and how mueh greater the relief, if we could only believe that some or all of the stains mentioned would fade away, at least by the time the new state house is completed. “It looked nourishing,” remarked one of the dis trict judges who investigated county jail affair and peeped into the soup kettle. Perhaps a great saving could be effected by giving each prisoner a photo R;a“h of the soup. MAY TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER. , It is to be hoped that the University of Michigan is not guilty as charged. The report is that the university authorities refused to allow George W. Wickersham, ex-attorney general, to speak in a university building on the league of nations on the ground that a speech on that subject would be political propaganda. • We may be a bit old-fashioned, but we have long held to the opinion that a university was an educa tional institution where young men and women were prepared for citizenship, and in this work of prepara tion they were to be given the privilege of hearing governmental questions discussed. If the University of Michigan is right in its position, then we have been wrong all these years. But if the University of Michigan is right!, will some one who may speak with authority for that institution please tell what is allowable? What questions of citizenship and the science of govern ment may be discussed there? Certainly not the tariff, upon which question theYe has been qutte a bit of political propaganda during the last few decades. Certainly not taxation, for that has been and still is a fruitful field for the political pi^>pa gandist. Not the Philippine situation, for just now the country is being flooded with propaganda that is full of politics. The railroad question? Certainly not, for that is in politics up to its eyebrows. If this refusal is adhered to and discussion of all topics having a political tinge barred from the Uni versity,of Michigan, the students who graduate there from will afford a niighty fertile field for the pur veyors of unsound political propaganda. They may know a lot about football, and mah jongg, and golf, and such like American institutions. Perhaps we should not mention golf in this connection. Quite a bit of political propaganda ha.1} had its origin on the golf links of late years. But their knowledge of our political institutions will be meager in the extreme. But it may be that the University of Michigan is not interested in graduating students who have any definite ideas about their d,uty as citizens. Mr. Kimball doubts if Ak-Sar-Ben is of any real advantage to Omaha. Anything that builds for greater civic pride, greater civic co-operation, greater civic friendships, and which affords entertainment to hosts and visitors alike, is very much worth while, Mr. Kimball. And Ak-Sar-Ben does all those things, and many more too numerous to mention. “What’s the matter with the movies?” plain tively queries the New York-Independent. In view of the constantly increasing^ attendance, despite a constantly increasing admission charge, we should say they are getting along so well they have little cause to worry. The discovery of the fossil remains of a pliocene camel in the fossil beds of Nebraska is not at all startling. There are live camels walking around Nebraska who think it has been more than 15,000 years since their thirst was allayed. The Minneapolis Tribune asserts-that Mother Nature is now- putting on a great al fresco style show, but it is to be hoped it is not insinuating that Mother Nature’s fashion of bare limbs at this season would be au fait or en regale. Contrary to an opinion that may have been held by some, those Oklahoma football players did not appear on Nebraska field disguised in peaked white hoods and" flowing white sheets. What, we make bold to ask, would be the fun in a presidential campaign with George Harvey looking after matters in Great Britain instead of pushing a pencil in his own America? Doubtless President Coolidge's failure to warm up to the proposed world economic congress is based on the fact that it would be a mighty lonesome congress for Unci? Sam. The time is rapidly approaching when the man wly has been hesitating between wearing the old overcoat or getting a new one will compromise b> I wearing the old one. It has just dawned upon us that we permitted October 9 to get away from us without our saying something about Widow Leary’s cow and that over* turned lamp. Grover Cleveland Bergdoll says he is coming back to the United States, but he probably was biting his thumb while saying it. There are 300,000 automobiles in Nebraska, most of them rushing by the street intersection when we are hurrying back from lunch. The Muscle Shoals nffair seem3 to have arrived at a stage impelling Mr. Ford to stage another exhibition of the muscle dance. Of course more of the raw materials produced in Nebraska should be manufactured into the finished product in Nebraska. Right now the little city of Louisville, Cass county, is staging a mighty interesting exhibition of a speedy come-back. And the A. F. of L. did not pnuse to take an anesthetic before amputating its communistic ap pendix.

The pioneers are holding their re union; in some pleasant groves along the banks of a quiet stream they meet again tho companions of other days and recall the experiences of long ago. The season sqpms in keeping with the pioneers; they who have faced the hardships of winter and borne the burdens of summei* are entitled now In tlie autumn to enjoy the fruits cf their labors. "Old Timers,” some will call them, arid pass by with a smile; yet they are the makers of an epoch of history as glorious as any ever writ ten by knight or warrior of old. His tory keeps alive the names of the discoverer and the explorer, hut greater than either is the pioneer. The discoverer came and found the land, arid the explorer sought out Its re sources; both of them passed on and left the land scarcely different from what they found it. But the pioneer is the man who stayed. He had dreams of its future, and turned Its resource© Into their fulfillment; It is tlie stamp of his personality thut is upon the land today. As he struggled through the long winters with their fierce storms which almost buried hls lonely dug out, he dreamed of the time when substantial homes should provide com fort to those who should people tho unclaimed stretches about him; when rich harvests should be garnered from fields as yet unbroken; when cities and towns should dot the plains, and when hls children should enjoy the advantages that had been denied to him. And there is the pioneer preuener, one of the most picturesque of all that picturesque time. Accustomed to the cultured atmosphere of the east, for the pioneer minister was often a highly educated man, he an swered the twofold call of service and adventure which has ever burned in the heart of youth, and made him self a vital part of his community. His ministry often took him for miles across the uncharted prairies, through tdinding snow or burning summer heat; Ills own comfort sacrificed, and his own interests put aside in the service of his fellows. Many a way side grave has been hallowed by his prayers, and many a flourishing congregation of today. Is the direct re sult of his untiring labors. He ranks in courage and heroism with the pioneer doctor, pnd his ministry Is a challenge to those who benefit from his labors. And there Is the pioneer teacher. Few of us can realize that our splendid school system of today had Us humble beginnings in some sod hou-e, perhaps the home of one of the settlers, or in a discarded dugout. Yet those pioneer teachers, in their cramped and meagerly equipped quar ters, trained and sent forth the men and women who haVe been the lend ers for a generation.. You may find them in the hails of congress or In the world of business or quietly walk ing the humble wafs of life, but wherever they are, most of them are a credit to the loyalty and self-sacri fice of the pioneer school teacher. But it was not all sacrifice and hard labor, for there nr* tales of open hearted hospitality when a husking bee nr barn raising were the oc casions of Joyous gatherings of nil the neighbors, and the distant horizon was the boundary line of the neigh borhood. There were the deep friend ships that were through the facing together of terrible dangers and sharing the Joys and sorrows through the busy years. As we pause to give a moment s thought to the meaning of their achievement we realize as never be f,,r- what a birthright is ours, and we solemnly resolve to make oursehe* worthy of the heritage that has been I- ft us by the Pioneer, the Man who stayed. _ A Dry "Straw’* In Vermont. From the K»ns»» City Time*. It is pretty clearly Indicated that if there is to be an appeal for a mod ification of the Vnljtead act in either i t ttie next national party platforms, It will have to be In the democratic declaration. All along the republican line there seems to he a determlna I on to stick to the letter of the law in theory, regardless of Any diffteul I ties that may he encountered in the ' ■ This being the Indicated state of mind in the republican ranks, there Is a more than pissing significance In the nomination the other dn>y of Porter H. Dale of Vermont, repub lican and recently resigned congress man, for the Unite! Slates senate to succeed the late Senator W, P. Dil lingham. Dale was opposed In the campaign by two candidates favoring a modification of the prohibitory law and by an extremist who sought to have cigarets. also, com# under the linn. But Dale had more votes than all Ills opponents combined. This result would seem to be an in teresting i lltlcal "straw." denoting that In the republican ranks, at least, "booze" Is In no shape to "com* back." Too Much Pip Counter. From the I.ouHvlll# Courl.r-Journ.l. Oovcrnment operation of railroads demonstrated one thing. above all else—that for lack of efficiency and lavish exiK'mllture there Is no busi ness In ths country so poorly man aged as that of the government. The tame Inference, no doubt, may he drawn from the statistics of the na tional Industries conference hoard. Counting 670,000 pensioners snd other Inactive beneficiaries of the gov ernment, the i pit ire paying sal aries to close to 1.400,000 men and women employed In township, village, county, municipal, state and federal offices. To this vast army the public annually pays $4,000,000,000.

It points out, how ever, that the public payroll costs every man, woman and child In the country $34 a year. The operation of the railroads wan a striking example pf lavish misman agement. Undoubtedly In this en ormous expenditure of the public's funds there is also tremendous waste. The operation of the government Is of necessity costly, but, costly ns it is, there Is little excuse for waste. The budget was the first move to ward efficiency in governmental ex penditures. It must be followed by other reforms If wastefulness Is to he avoided. Perhaps at some later time the burden of taxation will arouse the people to demand economy. But a $4,000,000,000 pie counter should be enough to make the people sit up and take notice, to say the least. When Hope Is Gone. From the Kanins City Post. In the careful audit of men's lives there is more of failure than of suc cess and only the something within us keeps us going on. About us are tho trails of unkept faith, of broken promises—ours and the rest—and the only something that inspires is hope that some day things will be better for us and for those we love and who love us in their trust. For even lovo cannot subsist or endure unless the path is lighted by the beacon, hope. And for the minister who turned his face away from his earthly trou bles, hope remained only In that other world Where it was his trust that the God in Whom he placed his faith would understand and forgive. However hopeless the other fellow's life may be, we must cherish hope for ourselves, for hope is the something within that keeps us going one. The mere coneeption of ideals does not suffice. We must picture some of It as ours in tho days or years to come, and with such a picture—mirage though it be—we can struggle onward through the allotted span. The trag edy of life Is not the physical death nor Is It the progressive incident of growing old. It is when hope is gone for ail time. Avoidable Deaths. From th* Waahington Pont. More than 75,000 deaths by accident In 1922, and the great majority of them avoidable. So runs a record that should give every man, woman and child In the United States pause in carelessness. It Is a forbidden price that the nation pays for failure to exercise proper care. The above figures represent a ter rific economic loss. Not only has the nation In the past year been weak ened by the loss of man power, but the dependents of those killed, who have suffered as a result, run Into the hundreds of thousands. Analysis of the record shows that carelessness in highway traffic Is an Increasing menace to life, for while accidents In Industry have decreased, those of the street have increased Figures for recent, years shows that this Increase Is not to be wholly charged to the Increase In the number of automobiles Realization of the price that is being paid for carelessness in street traffic by motors and pedestrians should drive home to all the necessity for exercise of proper care. Jail Sentences n Cure, From the Salt f.ak* Trlbun*. TVe have always contended that speed maniacs can be cured if Jail sentences are imposed by magistrates upon all such offenders who are haled Into court and the charges against them substantiated. Throughout the United States the number of auto mobile accidents is Increasing at an appalling rate and drastic measures must be adopted in order to prevent the farther slaughter of Innnoeents. Salt I.ake has had Its full share of such occurrences and apparently It also has had Its full quota of reckless drivers. These "hit 'er up ' fellows are a constant menace and It Is up to the authorities to enforce the law without fear or favor. Of c urse. people who cross streer* nre expected to look out for themselves but they cannot dodge automobiles rolling along at a 40 or 59-mlle ar.-hour rlip, and they are entitled to protection. Likewise, the careful driver is entitled to protection from the speed maniac at the street and road rr Jail sentences will furnish such protection. — The Omaha Bee welcomes let ters from readers recording In timate observations of animals or plants.

ROVER AND THE CHIMNEY FIRE. Rover was a black collie dog. He early showed his rnetai and his in telligence. When he was only 3 months old he ^vas given an auto ride for over 20 miles, down to the sea shore, and he seemed to take In all the new scene* with great delight. He excelled In gentlemanly ways while still a pup. His careful, gen tle, patronizing fun with the cat was very comical, and be would allow her to nestle under him. where they would lie peacefully together. When he was fed. even though with the meat he liked best, he would wait politely be fore he would touch It. He would look at the food, and then up to the one that was serving him. He seemed to smile his "thank you." As soon os he was left alone he woud begin to eat with great relish. One day his master, Norman, heard a noise at the side door of the house, near the kitchen. It sounded like a loud rapping at the screen door. He went to the door and saw Rover, jumping about in an excited manner. He spoke to him and went hack Into the house. In a few minutes the same rumbling tap was heard. Nor man this time saw what was the mat ter. Rover was yild with excitement ind kept li oking up to the roof of 'he kitchen. The kitchen chimney was on fire and a dense smoke was pour ing from It. Rover was then satis fied and did his best to assist in the preventive work. A. W. L.
