New from Washington Is to the effect the president Is conferring with leaders In congress vllh a view to aystematltlng the appropriations at the coming session. That th system in vogue is wasteful Is apparent to even' casual ttudents, and our methods never cease to as tonish foreign statesmen. Under ordinary prac tice the appropriations are made up by various committees without any efficient co-operatton, and after congressional logrolling has added to the extravagance of committees the bill bear little or no relation to prospective revenue and the garment Is cut without regard to cloth measurements. The budget, system Is recog rized by students of government to be the scien tific method of appropriation, but if this cannot be obtained ew-operstlon of house leaders, where nil appropriation originate, may secure an ap t roach to economy and efficiency, and If the liesldent can bring tbla about be will have per formed an Important service. The condition of the treasury, with a deficit staring the admlnls Itatlon In the face and extraordinary appropria tions for the defense program coming up, econ tmy Is more than ever necessary and should fiov a factor In enabling those who believe In Governmental economy to accomplish their pur pose. It would be expecting too much, how ever, lo see the pork barrel eliminated alto Mtber, but every little helps when every scoop into the money bins scrapes close to the bottom. Reminder of Old Day. The heading, "Rich Placer Strike In Hills," must bring back to old-timers memories of other :ys, of the stampedes which followed each such Announcement, when the wilderness suddenly resounded with the voices of struggling and t opefiil humanity, dance halls, saloons and gam bling places sprung up where but a few days before only the wild creatures of nature held fcway, where some hopes were realized and those cf the many were blasted, only to revive again vlth the ssine announcement from another quarter. The placer In those days was the poor man's game, for the capital required was only a meager grub stake, a pick, shovel, pan and a tew simple Implements, backed by courage, trawn and a hope that never faltered. What a fuscinatlng story a collaboration of those new l oper accounts of the old mining days would be.

By the ratification of the treaty between the I nlted State and Haiti by the senate of that country the United States may acquire another rard. The affairs of Santo Domingo, the re maining portion of the same island, are already similarly supervised, and Nlcaraugua and Cuba to a less extent are subject to supervisory con trol by this government. Up to date the United states ha been fairly successful in administer ing the fiscal affair of these turbulent countries and also In substituting order and quiet for the turmoil of continual revolutions, but If this gov ernment Is to undertake similar missions in all the land on thi hemisphere, where revolution treak ont. It will be covering considerable ter ritory and assuming a burden that may some day become too heavy for comfort. r - ' In Haiti, a elsewhere, the American marine l a already substituted order for chaos, but th rehabilitation of the country in an industrial r.nd economic way promises to be a difficult problem which the senate 1 likely to balk on when the treaty comes up for ratification.

The Indianapolis News comments upon a ruling recently made by the California State Kutlroad commission ar of much interest to that city, and we may sdd also of equal Interest to public service patrons in Omaha as well. The California commission, so we are told, has swept i way completely the. existing system by which V ibltc utility companies required deposits from consumer to guaranty payment of bills, care of tqulpment, etc. By the commission's decision the companies ar required to return the de posit or to apply them upon current bill, and their right to discontinue service for nonpay lientiof disputed bills Is denied. "To compel a customer to pay an excessive bill," declare th commission, "Is manifestly unfair and un just; no utility company has the right to be th Judge in It own cas. as at present." Th Indianapolis paper call attention to th fact that th water company there may require 4 2,000 consumers to deposit $10 each in its custody, which would give tt the free use of J ever $400,000 of other people's money, and nor than that, provide a leverage for enforc ing all sorts of arbitrary exaction. The strange thing I that bar In Omaha th only public hervlce that I permitted to demand deposits and to hav th whip-hand in all disputes Is the diubltcly-owned utility, whose patrons apparently I k.ve no recourse. 'Let the Pnblio Enow. Ever since the president gave out his plan fur preparing the country for defense there ha been a demand that the recommendation of the army general staff be also made public, aa it vii generally understood that the president turned down certain recommendations of th staff. Secretary Garrison of th War depart ment haa now added hi appeal and properly urge that tbla Is a matter In which the entire ration is deeply Interested, and the presumption l that the general staff, with It technical knowledge, ahould hav Ideas at least worth consideration. That the public ha limited knowledge of military affair la In a large meas ure true, but it Is Just as captble of passing Judgment on the army report a oa the presi dent' plan. Th publio must bear the burden cf Increased army and navy expenditure and congressional action must hav popular support to carry th measure through. That the army plan I more xteastv and expensive than tb publio would approve 1 probably true, but so far aa It deals with th sci entific conduct of war or preparation for th sum I mora likely to b based on correct prln tlples and capable of effective execution than on eiolved by civilians. Th reason for withhold ing any official recommendation from the pub lic are not obvious, and the very fact of its being It-Id back increases the desire to know, though publication may possibly cause people to wonder what all th secrecy was about. A Mesage for the Boy from Cardinal Gibbons O. a. KaUaad La Tba Aaaarleaa oy. AT BALTIMORE find old man borded the train. A h walked alowly, very slowly, down the aile. head turned to follow hi progreaa and people touched each other and whispered. A the old man paaacd. It could be seen that under his tall allk hat he wore something not usually worn by old gentlemen riding on train, for, showing below the rim of th hat waa a line of vivid acarlet. Th porter, more than ordinarily aollcltou. asalated th old gentleman Into hla cbalr. Then the old gentle man removed hla hat and he waa wearing a tiny, round scarlet cap! Now, there are only three men among all the hun dred million of Inhabltanta In the United State mho ere Permitted to wear uch a cap. It 1 a mark ol honor, of distinction, of exalted poaltlon the badge, of a cardinal of the Roman Catholic church. The old gentleman waa Hla Eminence, Jamea Cardinal Olbbons. Arrhblahop of Baltimore. Cardinal Gtbbona aettled hi a pa re frame comfort ably and opened hla newspaper Juat like any ordinary traveler. Above the top of hi chair showed that flaah of acarlet, aroualng curloclty. What aort oT a man waa this J a me Cardinal Olhnona? How did ills voice sound? What did his amlle look like? Whut would he aay if ddreed? It waa a curiosity that would he shared by every boy in America If he cpuld It In that oar and watch. Ho I decided to find out for him. The porter carried my card to Ills Eminence; re turned Immediately, grinning ao that every one of hli thirty-two whit Ueth glittered Joyously. "He aay aura, aah. Ha say ha be glad to talk wlf you." X think that waa characteristic of Cardinal Gib bons that ba would b glad to talk to 'me, or to any casual traveler who aaked the privilege, for Cardinal Glbbona I a man who love men. who studlea men, who like to talk to and understand and sympathise with men. Ho I walked down to hla aide. Ha looked up and smiled. That Is Important. Per haps you have Been plcturee of th Cardinal they are grave, very dignified, a trifle austere. They do not how tha Cardinal of the amlle. Right away any boy would have known Hla Eminence wa a man who wanted to know, th aort of man who I valuable to boy as a friend and aa a companion. Tha Cardinal smiled, and hla grey eye twinkled a ha extended hla hand. ' "Tou work with boy?" he laid. "That I a fine thing on of the finest thlnga. You muat be very glad your work Is with boys. Won t you ait down?" His fare became grave, thoughtful. "I suppose you would like to have me say some thing to your boys, la that it?" "The boys would appreciate It very much if you would," I told him. Then he began to apeak. As ha spoke watched hU face, particularly those grey-blue eyea with the shrewd, wlae, kindly line about them. I watched tha expression come and go In those eyea aa tha Card4nal eent hla measage to you. They are not young eyes but they are not old eye. They are eyes that have aoen many wonderful Jhtng. many sad thinga, many glorloua thlnga and hav remembered everything and stored It away to ba used. To be uaed for tha benefit of mankind. "ft'a an old. old aaylng that the boy la the father of tha man." said the Cardinal, "but I wonder If boy have aver atopped to wonder what it mean, it mean that the boy 1 tha moat Important thing In the world. Think of that Let m have th boy to work with and train and I don't care who look after the reat of the world for In a few year the boy will be the rest of world. The boys of today are tha man with reaponsltiillUea the men who are doing big thlnga to-morrow. They ahould remember that" Tha Cardinal laid hla alender hand on my knee. "What la aucoesa In lifer' he aaked, and than answered hla own question, "Suocesa la nothing moro nor lea than doing well th thlnga we hav to do every day. Suoce la duty performed that la all. There can ba no greater aucoeaa than that Tha boy who does every day tha little thing ha is aet to do, and doea them' well, haa aucceeded. When he becomes a man he la atlll a aucoeaa If ha performs hla every day tasks and dutlea faithfully. There may be no fame, no Bounding of trumpets for him. but he Is a success." Now ha smiled again, his eyes twinkled almost mischievously. "Fame la an accident, anyhow," he said, "It doesn t matter. Fame la pleasant, but, after all, la It a bit mora pleaeant to b famous than to be a common man. unknown, perhaps, but with knowledge that tha duties that hav lain before him hav been doner' "What qualties. Cardinal Glbbona, do you consider most detflrabl In a boy? What qualtlee show him to have real promlee for th futuraT Faithfulness, plodding- perseverance, persletefice tn doing whatever la aet for him to do. These thing will gain, him success where genius would fall unless It la that sort of genlua which la nothtng more than Infinite hard work. That la tha best genlua hard, steady, careful work. It Is the real genius. "I wish every boy could understand that. I wish every boy could know that success does not mean fame or wealth, or that tha world should aet to talking about you. I wish every boy could know, and believe, that the way to success la by plodding effort One plodding, hard-working, faithful boy Is worth to tba world much mora than tha boy with flash of genlua. Tha boy who will plod, plod, plod, who will concentrate hla effort, ia on tha surest road fo aucceas." Twice Told Tales What'a lm m Tfaaaa. Tha lawyer waa in hla private office whan th c'.fUe boy brought tn a card. The lawyer took It and after one look at It frowned and then smiled. Tha Inscription on It read: Mr. Roller fckatea. "Ia it a pair or only one?" he Inquired. "What, sir?" reanonded the boy, not seeing- the point, of courae. "Thafe all right. Bring him tn." The caller followed ahortly and before the lawyer could put him on the atand he volunteered hi testi mony. II had observed that the lawyer still held hi .sard In hla hand. "Pardon me," he said, smiling broadly and nod ding toward th card, "but I'm not to blame for It My father s nam was Pkatea and my mother's name waa Roller,, and they gav me my mother's family name. That waa sixty odd years ago, and there were no other roller skatea tn this country at that time." The lawyer cheerfully accepted hla apology and alao a comfortable retaining fee ere the caller skated away. Judge. People and Events City planning la making progress In Sacramento, Cal.

Nov. iS.-To the Editor of The Uce: I am from Mis souri and the Ozark mountains, and have been wondering where Iowa country school teachers get their education. Li a country district not far from Council Bluffs the pupils are taught that It is a diegrare to be Mrs. Jones' hired girl. Maybe it Is I don't know. Perhaps we should all fall down on our knees when we meet a country school teacher. Tee! t hadn't thought of It before, but I think perhaps wa ahould. This came teacher tries to teach housekeeping. One of the text books says. "One should wear a tub dress while working In the kitchen." One of the children asked this well-informed teacher the definition for tub dress, and he said, "It wna some kind of loose sack ar something.' I wish he would write to "Advice for the lovelorn," and ask the moaning cf tub dress. A ions sack or something may be all right for him to wear In the kitchen, but Mrs. Jones' hired girl very much prefers something neater. As for being Mr. Jones' hired girl, I am one. My wage are 8 a week. I have a good room with steam heat, and electric lights. I don't do any washing, not even my own. I"d6n"t find mv work too hard, or my hours too long. I have plenty to eat of the best goods tn the city. I hf-e all my evenings off If I want them; also Thursday afternoons and Saturday after noons and evenings. I have time to sew, to read good books, to entertain my friends, to go to the movies and to church Sunday evenings. My Job will last as long as I make it and I wouldn't trade Jobs with honorable country school teachers for a dollar. MRS. JONES' HIRE5D QIRI (iroirlh nf Home Life Insurance. OMAHA.

I8.-T0 the Editor of The Bee: From Inst Sun day's Bee It appears that while Rev. Dr. Frederick F. Jtouse of the First Congre gational church of Omaha does not be lieve the Bible account of creation, yet he declares that in his future preaching he will lay expeclal strew on redemption. But If the Bible story of creation is not true, how can Dr. Rouse believe. If he does believe, that other equally absurd story wherein It appears that a snake crawled throunh a garden fence, or mnybe ant up on the top rail, and en tered into conversation with a woman, and that Adam and Eve committed a grlevotifl s'n notwithstanding they did not know the difference between right and wrong? Since Adam, as we ore told, did not know good from evil, he certainly could not have known there waa anything wrong iti enttng fruit that Ood had told him not to eat; therefore Incurred no guilt In the art of disobedience and hence did not "fall." If, then, there was no "fall." there was surely no need of any redeemer and Dr. House's preaching of redemption Is vain. As a matter of fact there could not have teen any redeemer because there was nothing to he redeemed, and It necessarily follows Hat the story of the birth, suffering and death of Christ, however interesting and affecting It may be, is not true Now, take notice that as to the au thenticity of the Bible account of crea tion. I at this time neither affirm nor deny . I simply undertake to show, as I think I have shown, that if, aa Dr. Rouse contends, that story is not true then that other story of the fall of man fairly goes with it and Is not true; that the bottom falls out of Christianity, and that the whole Christian system tumbles Into ab solute ruin.

I8.-T0 tha Editor of Tha Baa: It la claimed that animals have no soul. That may be true, but I have seen animal that I thought war much mora deserving of a soul and of a future Ufa than aoma peo ple I have seen in my time. If my good 10-year-old Gordon aetter dog t-at died on Tueaday of thla week is hot entitled to a future existence, then avan few people are entitled to It, for though wa did notary to make a aped at pat of him avid did not try to teach him many things, yet ha was ao good and so Intelligent that he seemed mora like a child than a dog. When I would get up In the morning he held up hla right paw to snake handa with me. Whan I wouhL go to my meals at noon and in tha even ing he would alwaya be out in the front yard to meet me and frequently would coma a block or two to meet me and al ways held up his paw to shake hands, but. when I would b leaving homo even for a few hours, he refused to hak hands with ma goodbye It aeema to me that a dog that will do that way haa more than animal Instinct to tell htm Just when I would be coming home and when to come to meet me. When I was leaving home on Tuesday afternoor less than two hours before he died from pleurisy, he wagged his tail snd held kp hia right paw for ma to hak hands goodbye, a thing he had never dona befora. Was it simply lnttl.ict that told htm it was hla last goodbye to rue? I felt that it waa his last, for ha waa so bad off. W did not try to make him affectl la st e, but It Is seldom that a human being ahows a much affection aa that dog showed toffard us. Even when I would scold him or slap him for som little of fense ha would aneak up behind ma and try to lick my handa to make up again. If he would aea aomeone go along w Ith a gun. or spad. or hoe, or anything over their shoulder h would bark at them furtnudy because he thought anything carried over th shoulder wa a gun.
