He explained that he accepted the office at a cer tain salary, and has no right to take more pay, the verdict of the election, so he contends, constituting a binding contract -with the people. Following on the heels of this act of the governor, Mayor Curley, of Boston, newly elected, discharged 63 employes of the board of public works, their. salaries aggregating $63,000 an nually. Next he ordered 100 physical instructors, play ground leaders and boatmen to go out and participate in actual road construction and other manual labor, having no use ,for "gentlemen employes," as he heartlessly termed them. Of course, the taxpayers' union, more commonly referred to as the politicians, are greatly perturbed over these radical acts of the mayor and may be expected to raise in open revolt, but it tends to show what may be done in the way of purging a pay roll in almost any largo city. In state government even greater economies might be made, Oregon, for example, hav ing scores of useless officials eating at the public crib, who might be cut off with no injury to the public service. What is needed throughout the nation is more men of the Walsh and Curley stripe men who have the grit to practice economy even after they are elected to office. Naturally, all pol iticians are strong for retrenchment until they are elected to good jobs themselves. HAS OVERREACHED ITStfLF. If the rumor that President Wilson will appoint former President Taft to the supreme bench proves well founded it will tend to show more conclusively than ever that partisan lines have practically been wiped out. Up to a few years ago anything like this would have been an impossibility now the country would accept it as very natural thing, owing to Mr. Taft's special qualification as a jurist. Post, the multi-millionaire breakfast food manufacturer, was found to have a badly diseased stomach when operated on the other day for appendicitis. He must have been living on the product of his own factories. Governor West is said to have refused a good federal job. his tends to substantiate the governor's assertion that he is not a real politician.

WHICH CONTRIBUTES TO DELIN QUENCY OF MANY GIRLS. SECRETARY OF THE NAVY DANIELS has . discovered that the trust business is not confined to the place of its birth, America, but has wandered far and waxed fat. Recently he threatened the armor plate trust that if it did not reduce its rates he would let contracts to for eign firms. The trust magnates did not reduce the rates, and did not worry. They simply winked the other eye and waited. They did not have long to wait. The returns came in and Secre tary Daniels was both pained and surprised to discover that the prices of armor plate for American vessels was the same m England, Germany, France and everywhere else it was made. The American "trusties" had informed the foreign makers of armor plate that if prices were cut the Americans would in vade the foreign markets and see what could be done toward regulating the prices for Johnny Bull, Monsieur De Crapeaux and Hoch dor Kaiser. The prices were so nearly alike and so near the American prices that the secretary sapiently concluded they must all have come from the same box, which, in fact, they did. The box was in the office of the armor plate trust at Pittsburg. It is Secretary Daniels next move, and he will prob ably move into the king row, and ask the government to erect a plant and make its own armor plate. In an address to the business men of Connecticut, at Hart ford, the other night, Secretory of Commerce Redfield refuted, the charge that the American markets were being flooded with foreign-made goods. He said : "Meanwhile the current has run strongly the other way, and particularly Is thus true in the shape of fully finished materials, our foreign trade in which continues to grow despite the normal fluctuations from month to month in the total export business. If there were any who felt the flooding had come when December Imports rose to the . largest ever known, namely $184,500,000, they must have expe rienced a rude shock when the imports fell off over $30,000, 000, so as to be less by almost $3,000,000 than the month of January, 1913. It is normal and we expect growth in the im ports of manufactures under the new tariffs, in order that com petitive conditions may exist to the general good. It is equally normal and we expect that as great or a larger growth will take place in the expectations of manufactures in order that busi ness may run more steadily in our American shops and that the gold of the nations may be brought in increasing quantities in to the pockets of our people." Of course, intervention, If it results in war with Mexico, is Bure to cost much in life and treasure, but it will cowt no more now than later on. The Mexicans are not capable of self-government and the present state of anarchy will continue until this country puts a stop to it, according to the opinion of those who are best posted in respet to the situation. Why not put an end UNITED PRBSS LIASBD wins. Chicago March 12. "The back rooms of 343 salones located on three streets in Chicago arc contributing to the delinquency of 14,602 girls ever 24 hours." This is the finding of a survey made by the South Side club of Chicago. A woman investigator, soniotimes accom panied by an escort, but more often alone, visited every saloon on North Clark stroet, Wabash avenue to Twenty- Second street, and Cottngo Grove ave- nuo, between Twenty-Second and Seventy-Seventh striets. She found that "muro than a majority of the women drinking in these places werj working girls or girlB of leisure, aul young girls at that." In all, 478 saloons wore visited; 377 of the saloons were In the residence districts; 58.5 per cent of the saloon.' wero located on corners; out of 2(17 comer saloons all but 28 have back rooms for women; 18 have other agencies for demoralizing the sex; and but 10 nro conducted for men only. In the residence districts were located 217 corner salons; all but IS have bacii rooms innd but nine of the saloons weie conducted for men only. A woman- invoHtiimtor visited ths majority of tho saloons several times, She was nowhere tefused amittanci?, even without an e'ort. Of the 207 corner saloons, Hi5 are immediately con' nectcd in one way or another with (isiulo hotels, of which 15 only are !n the downtown district. Of the Ji! saloons in the residence districts, 303, or 80 er cent, have back rooms. Of 313, the total number of back rooms, 213, or (II per cent hnve stalls.
