AND SUN-TELEGRAM

All rights of republication of special dispatches herein are also reserved. Saving One Million Dollars a DayOne million dollars a day will be saved the taxpayers of this country by reforms which the congressional joint committee on reorganization hopes to put into effect at once. The greater part of this one million will come from slashing the overhead expense of the government, without impairing the service and efficiency of federal activities. . "The preliminary survey made by members of the commission shows that stupendous waste is resulting from the present clumsy organization which seems to have developed without rhyme or reason," says Chairman Brown, of the commission. Most of the savings will come from the government's decision to stop paying rents in Washington and other cities for office space. Investigators have discovered that office room can be found in federal buildings for bureaus and departments that are now paying high rentals for . space. This is due to the lack of co-operation between the departments, with the object of making an economical utilization of the office space that is available in public buildings. If the commission succeeds in carrying out this policy, the complaints of bureau chiefs will receive scant consideration, for Chairman Brown says the in- - convenience caused by the concentration of offices is secondary to the federal program of cutting down high taxes. President Harding and his cabinet, moreover, are in accord with the commission's purposes, - and no opposition will develop there. The objections of the department heads will be met by a firm decision to reduce federal expenses at all odds. It is high time that the administration begins the policy of economy which it promised to enforce last November. The huge cost of government is a millstone around the neck of business and industry. They can no longer carry the load of high taxation. Business will not improve until there is relief from taxation, not only national, but also state and local. Our own officials should carefully guard against unnecessary expenditures until the period of readjustment is over. No one can escape taxation. If he does not pay taxes to the federal and local governments directly, he pays for them indirectly in the high cost of commodities and in unemployment directly attributable to them.

Choosing the City's Officials The forthcoming primary election, in which candidates will' be nominated for city offices by both parties, challenges the attention of every voter, say students of municipal affairs. The campaign in connection with the city manager plan served one good purpose, even if the proposal was defeated. It centered attention on the necessity of nominating high class' men for public office, and taught the people that they must look at a man's fitness for office rather than on his ability to shake hands and attract votes. Voters should approach the selection of candidates at the forthcoming primary in the same spirit in which the directors of a big corporation select a manager. The officers f a company keep one thing in mind constantly, namely, the ability of the proposed manager to get results. They realize that the dividends on the invested

capital can come only from an executive who!

knows how to manage the affairs of the corporation. Consequently, they are not blinded by other considerations. The same process of selection should be applied by the voters in determining upon the nomination of a man for the mayoralty position. Richmond is -a big corporation, in which the management of a utility, the letting of contracts for many kinds of improvements, police and fire protection, park management, legislation and administration, are important items that involve the happiness and prosperity of many persons. Who is the chief executive and manager of all these involved departments? Logically the mayor. If he is a man of small caliber and mediacer attainments, the whole city suffers under his administration. If he is acquainted with municipal affairs by study and experience, every resident is benefited by his election. Why should he be nominated, then, on the basis of his ability to get votes and not for his fitness for the job? Why should the voters be

blinded by his personality, for instance, and not

by his attainments? Why should they let personal prejudice prevent the selection of the capable man? Many cities have poor government because the voters do not select capable officials. The system is not at fault, but the men who are elected under the system are inefficient. Voters

do not look at the selection of nominees from aj

hard business viewpoint. They forget that their own dollars are involved in the nomination of men selected because they please rather than because they have the ability to serve. If the voters of Richmond will go to the polls on the primary election day, thoroughly obsessed of the idea that they are going to choose the man who is best qualified to manage the affairs of the city, they are not going to make the old mistake of nominating a man whose whole qualification is his ability to attract voters.

Two Minutes of Optimism By HERMAN J. STICH

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can", "Take It". "Up" TO MY FRIEND IN SORROW I am sure that no words of mine are able to take from your heart the loneliness that has crowded out the laughter that was so recently there. But I sorrow with you. The love that 1 had for her beautiful and happy soul I give to you who loved her and who now miss her so. I can understand a little, for I have always wanted a little girl to love. And because she never came with her laughter I miss her. I think of her as she might have been. But you think of the one who was so dear to you as she was. I have thought of you through your days and nights and wished that I might comfort you just a little. But as the lovely sunset must be felt as well as seen, so are words of sympathy colorless and gray to one who has had the little sweetheart of his heart taken away. One must be a Father and Mother in one to understand adequately. The best that I can do is to loan to you some of the "beautiful tall angels" that have been so good tome. And ask them to stay pretty close to you. You are much to me. Your fine and generous spirit is a constant inspiration to me. And your fame and success in the world are links of my own happiness, that make the world much more splendid. The sweetness of the smiles that are now stilled will go out through your noble influence to bigger lands and to more people and the scent of the newer fragrance will be felt deeper than ever. The song of your heart will radiate into sunnier heavens! Her play was so happy. So you mustn't begrudge God having her in His garden playing where the flowers are always blooming. Remember that love is melting all around her where she is.

Answers to Questions

A READER. Is anyone allowed tot buy cloth and make garments and j sell them without license? Are they

allowed to sell cookies? You need no license. PERPLEXED. How do you write the introduction of a letter to the president? In the introduction of a letter to the president the name of the individual holding the office is not used, as it is customary to address the office rather than the individual holding, it. A model for the introduction: To the President, White House, Washington, D. C. Sir: With the exception of the president, however, some writers prefer to use the name of the individual in addressing government officials, as: To the Honorable Calvin Coolidge, Vice-President of the United States,

Senate Chamber, Washington. D. C. PUPIL. Will you tell me how radium was discovered? Radium in its pure state looks like silver, but it is used in the form of a chloride which resembles common salt. It was dis

covered in 1S98 in Paris by Professor and lime. Curie. The discovery of the

X-ray led up to that of radium. French scientists had investigated a number of chemicals to see if they gave off X-rays. Prof. Henri Becquerel found that a bit of uranium salt gave off the rays. The Curies were assisting Professor Becquerel. A ton or two of the residue from the mine after the uranium had been removed was placed at their disposal. After months of analysis Mme. Curie isolated a few crystals. These were found to be two elements new to science, one of which Mme. Curie named polonium in honor of her native country. Poland, and the other, discovered later, radium. Polonium has since been found to be a product of the destruction of radium.

PROF. STEINBRUGGE SAYS. "Scientists aavance the theory that the universe does not occupy, it con-.-titutes. It does not occur in time, it makes lime. "When you have a lease for an f-.partment you occupy it. Then comes a time when the kind-hearted landlord informs you of the raise. This is hard on your constitution. Relatively speaking, you have lived in the apart for an apparent interval and if you pay the raise there is a vacuum in your bank account. The particular vicissitudes of the land-lord are linker up with a f ystem of change co-extensive with the

totality of things. ".Vow let some scientist advance a theory by which the octopus landlord! may be made to forget the relativity of j time, space and rent. He would be a

A TIP. Never greet a fellow with. "Hello! old top." if he happens to have on a last year's straw hat. I JESTER LAMB. At a mass meeting of farmers in Maryland it has been decided that hired men shall work from sunrise to sunset and that the maximum pay shall be $1 a day and board. Still some reople wonder why farm boys prefer city life.

"WHAT'S IN A MAN COMES OUT" "How much ground does a man need to make a living?" somebody once asked a farmer. "Well," was the answer, "I reckon he needs just about enough to stand cn, if he only knows enough." This is a moutnful worth fletcherizing, digesting and assimilating. I think the farmer-philosopher meant that real opportunity lies in a man himself, that a man carries his resources around with him under his hat Over the long haul accomplishment is an individual, an internal problem. The successful man is not made by outside conditions. He creates his own conditions. This idea wa3 decisively put by Napoleon, -who, in discussing a certain situation, remarked: "Circumstances? I make circumstances!" And one of the greatest employment managers in the world, a man who in a busy lifetime has hired upward of 100,000 men, is of the same mind. Says John Hays Hammond: "I have learned never to take on any man who asks me What is the future in this job?" This notion is becoming characteristic of business men, and nine times out of ten the applicant who demands of his prospective employer. "What are the chances for advancement?" unconsciously kills them. He stands selfconfessed and self convicted as an unvisioned, unconfident, incompetent. Charlie Schwab was not worrying much about the future in his job when he went to work as an unskilled laborer at a wagon-wheel a day. Nor Vanderlip, when he gave up a good-paying civil service snap for a poor-paying clerkship in the National City Co. Nor Alexander Graham Bell when he quit a hundred-dollar-a-week sinecure to promote a "crank's toy" as they

dubbed the first telephone. The future is in the man, not in the job; the personal factor is of greater moment than the environmental. The climbing paraphernalia of doers consists of Energy, Ambition, Determination, Horse Sense, Gray Matter and such. It is these that provide the "future" in a dung heap, and without them a gold mine would be worthless. Put this in your pipe and smoke it: A man's "chances" and "prospects" depend upon himself. The growth of his work and his returns therefrom are the growth and the development

and importance of the things he puts into his work. He himself "makes circumstances" and opportunity and his job. And, incidentally and thereby, he makes himself. "What's in a man comes out" Is a homely but true adage, and we see it borne out all about us every day of our lives.

Scotsmen are smiling broadly. It's a deep joke, A Scottish joke. Still, some people take the matter seriously, like one old dame in Aberdeen. She was asked the other day if she would vote "No Change" in the Scottish temperance act. "Na, na," she replied, in laughly accents. "I winna vote for 'No Change.' I will vote for them to leave it as it is. Dae ye think that A'm guan doon wi a pound to ma grocer for a bootle an' get nae change back? Na, na! Nae fear o' me!"

! Rippling Rhymes ! By WALT MASON

v WELL PAID The day's at hand when Carp and Jack will battle in their pride; and oh.. the large and gorgeous stack of money they'll divide, when each has slugged the other's dome for six or i?even rounds and Milton sold his greatest pome for something like ten pounds. I'm glad that in these later days true genius gets its due, and Great Men do not go their ways in rags of dingy hue. Poor Bobbie Burns was always broke, which made his roul repine, and Edgar Poe was forced to .oak his hat when he would dine. The

Who's Who in the Day's News

list is long of gifted men who always lacked the price, who did tall things with harp or pen, and still were handed ice. E'en Homer begged from town lo town, and stole the housedog's bone, though later, in his high renown, each claimed him for its own. Old Grubb street echoed to the wails of many a gifted gink, and Boswell's book Is full of tales of genius on the blink. But now our great men get their due when they have made a hit, and when the coming scrap is through a fortune will be split. It was hard luck that Burns and Poe and Homer and that crew were born so many years ago, ere greatness got its due.

Dinner Stories

Do you know what a Scottish joke is? They are very deep in Scotland. They've got a Scottish joke on now. It's this voting on the question whether they should go dry or not. Of course, being Scotsmen,' they've no intention of going dry! No; they've got the world to toast. Everybody's got long faces and whispering, "Scotland's going dry!" and all the time the
