sound man's sympathies must go out to this unforunate race which has been hounded and dogged from nation to nation and from century to century.

The Recordless Record. Slovenliness in keeping records is usually the very tap root of incompetency in city administration, and yet, in the very nature of the case, is a deficiency seldom brought to the public's attention. Those who have been endeavoring to learn something of the achievements and methods of the past administration here have found a deplorable state of affairs so far as records are concerned. In the street department, to give but one example, almost no records are to be found except in the engineer's office. The street commissioner keeps his on a little memorandum book or two which one can lav on the palm of his hand. He

has no way of telling where his men are, what they are doing, what each man has done during the day, what his department has done as a whole, or what it is costing the city per unit. Speaking of city management, Frederick A. Cleveland, the nation's chief authority on city accounting, says in regard to records: "A properly conceived and well-designed system of reports is one of the principal factors in effective organization and successful management." A thorough system of records is the only possible basis of accurate information on which a mayor or council can formulate plans for future activities. Accurate records will stop up many leaks through which taxpayers' hard earned cash

seeps away. Those who have not gone into thej

manner painstakingly cannot possibly realize at well use your imagination vigorously.

of proper accounting methods. Time is saved when full records are used. An official has always at command a complete set

of facts to guide in his activities. He does not i thoroughly equipped men in any government department

need to search high and low for data which an adequate system places at his immediate disposal. If each official is compelled to keep an accurate daily record of expenditures and work done he will be more careful in spending and more conscientious in working. It will serve to make him feel his responsibility and it will remove from his superior's shoulders the burden of constant personal oversight. Accurate and thorough records avoid "red tape." When there are no records at hand by which responsibility for some costly error can bl fixed on the guilty man each official will pass it up to the next. This passing questions on

The Real Taxpayer. "Taxes don't bother me any," said a laborer recently, "I don't have to pay any." This is an error under which many voters are laboring. The very man who pays the most taxes is the man who is not taxed at all. He pays rent, grocery bills, interest on loans, coal, light, gas, water bills, etc. And when he pays these bills he pays taxes. After the grocer has paid his taxes he includes them in the price of groceries. After the water works has paid its assessment the price is injected into the price of water. After the coal dealer has paid his he passes them on in the price of coal. After the doctor has paid his he must make his fees cover them and so passes on the cost. The ultimate consumer pays all the bills and that includes all the taxes. If taxes are deceased living expenses will go down. When employers and merchants can't get

back their taxes by increasing prices they secure them by decreasing wages. The laborer who works for a factory that pays increased taxes will receive a decrease in wages in the long run. He who works for a store that has an in

creased assessment will find' his income shrink.

All of which is but to say that as taxes go up

the price of living follows and it is the ultimate consumer who pays the bills. And because more taxes mean heightened prices and shrunken wages every wage worker has the most immediate interest in the question of city economy. If an administration is wasting money, if it keeps the tax rate unnecessarily high it is the wage worker who pays for the waste. Vice versa if more economical methods are used every laborer and wage worker in the city will cash in the savings sooner or later.

formed conceived the idea that the ' j play was a salacious flaunting of vice ' upon the stage. Dr. Abram Simon, ot , Washington, has said, "It has no niessage for the morbid, the timid, the sensationalist. With something of the sermonic earnestness of the old 'mor- . alities,' with most of the painful realism of the modern problem play, it is the reformer's trumpet-blast to the present to give the future a square deal."

At any rate, this is the send off given him by Honore Willsie in Harper's Weekly, now current. Dr. Wiley's successor adds to Wiley's zeal In prosecuting malefactors and policing our food supply a more creative type of mind which sees broad visions and gets his visions somehow translated into hard facts. One of Augsburg's favorite dreams is the development of sea food as a new staple for American tables. He believes we may discover in the waters a compensation for the shrinkage of the products of the land. There has been a shrinkage. Since 1907 beef cattle have fallen off in number twenty-one million and sheep have declined in the same period two million. Meanwhile Uncle Sam's family has grown ten million. How shall we meet this dimlnishment of our food sup

ply? Raise more beef stock, kill fewer calves, open new

MOVED OR MOVER? Are you among the movers of the world, or are yon one of the moved?

How or why the world was set In i

motion eons ago. in the unresting whirl which is one of the basic facts of existence, no one knows. But it is not too fanciful a thought to believe that human energy keeps it going. Some men give forth that energy;

others absorb It. In vrhich class are you? Must the world give you a shove to keep you going, or do you push yourself? Perhaps you are among the workers who not only supply the energy to keep themselves going, but create a surplus. Id every form of machinery invented by man some percentage of energy is lost in wasted motion, in friction, which should be foreseen and prevented. The ideal engine will be one in which there is no friction. Friction Is loss. The same Is true of that great engine, the world. Everywhere we look we see unnecessary labor and needless rubbing. When we learn to eliminate these we shall learn how to rule the earth wisely. In the meantime it behooves every man to be a creator of sufficient energy for himself and for the supplying of others who are deficient. Until the ideal age comes there will be

mental and moral and physical deficients who will need some force actuating them from outside to keep them going. Don't be like little Joe in "Bleak House." Poor Joe was always being "moved on." Ills enemy the policeman would not let him rest long in one place, ne wa3 moved on and moved on until be left London to die in the country. Move yourself on or the world will move you on! The world cannot wait for those who encumber its path. Sooner or later it moves on past them. Too often its progress is over their bodies. If you are a mechanic, move on by (doing the best work of which you are capable. If you are a housewife, keep your household going swiftly and smoothly in the paths of economy and cleanliness and cheerfulness. If you are a physician or a lawyer, move on

by keeping abreast with the latest developments In your profession. Motion is life; life is metion. Stoppage and decay are death.

questions are up. and he has permitted his administration to carry on its work with a surprising lack of book-keeping. It was this lack of records on the city's part which made it so impossible for Zimmerman's friends to reply to the specific and well grounded

criticisms which have been made by Alfred

Bavis and others.

After the Jews Once More. To what extent anti-Jewish sentiment may go is shown by the "Ritual Murder Case" now being "tried" at Kiev, Russia. Two years ago the body of a murdered child was found in a cave by the police. Evidences show that the boy was slain by a bandit crew which got him out of the way to prevent betrayal but the crime was seized upon by Russian bureaucrats as one more opportunity to fan the hatred for Jews which now consumes the Russian peasants. By some hook or crook the crime was fastened on a Jew, Mendel Beleis by name, who was accused of having been the agent of certain Jewish rabbis who desired the boy's blood to use in ritual ceremonies. A more absurd charge could not have been

framed but officials have secured a jury composed of anti-Semites lusting for the life of the unfortunate man. Russian newspapers have persistently lied about the case and done all in their power to increase hatred of the Jews among the ignorant masses. According to recent wireless dispatches conditions are ripening for a Jewish massacre which will outdo aivxr on record. The Russian peasant is almost outdone in ignorance by the Russian priest. Both are steeped in superstitions many of which are silly beyond belief, and both are easily fired to murderous action by religious agitation. These ignorant people have ever been pliant instruments in the hands of Russian politicians who design the extermination of the Jew. In all probability the hatred fanned into flame by this murder charge will be immediately capitalized and another reign of terror will result. Whatever one's prejudices may be every

of the land per acre but fishing cannot lessen the resources of the sea. And there is therefore no reason why we shouldn't secure our meat from Neptune while we devote our arable acres to fruit and vegetables. "Meat you know," says the doctor, "Is after all only the supplement to fruit, vegetables, and cereals. Wljy not devote our land, so valuable and so susceptible of decay, to the most important products and take our meat supply from

the ocean which lies unsurveyed and untaxed? If we will shift our source of meat supply from western prairies to the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards we will save ourselves millions every year." "But what sea foods, save oysters and lobsters, are fit for human food?" query the incredulous. In reply the doctor reels off a list of edible fish swarming in countless hordes fit for the dinner table. Sea mussels, he claims, are as good for food as oysters, and cheaper, and almost as palatable; dogfish please the palate when properly cooked; sword fish are much sought for by those who have learned their flavor in southern Europe; the skate is a triangular creature of fantastic proportions

of nightmares, with his snaky tentacles, is a favorite in

many lands; and so on and so on.

"But fish are merely fit for balancing up the layout.

good for brain food, but not substantial enough for sta

pie consumption." Not so, says the doctor; it is a mis

take to suppose the fish is peculiarly a phosphorous food. It contains all the elements founa in any flesh and

may be used as regularly as beef. "But oysters carry bacteria and often come from pol

luted beds." Not often, declares the authority; from Maine to Florida there are very few polluted oyster beds. We are now engaged in making a survey of all with a view to protecting the public against danger from this source. Oysters may be made as safe for eating as any other meat. We shall place the most rigid restrictions around the business, of course, and punish severely any found guilty of supplying against the rules, but we are planning to devote most time to encouraging and stimulating the legitimate trade. If we are successful in our plans the people need waste no time worrying about the rise in meat prices.
