is no immediate danger to be appre-

'Small as this matter may seem it
concerns many thousands of instances

wholly unimportant the administrative
considerations are of considerable mo-

The rest of the report is devoted
mamlj- to finances and says:
The total estimates of expenditures
for ordinary and extraordinary pur-
poses in 1913. exclusive of the estimates
for the Panama canal and those for the
postal service payable from postal
revenues are 887880.803.86. The esti-
mates of receipts available for the
general fund are f667.000.000. The esti-
mated excess of receipts for 1918 is
therefore 829079196.66. The estimates
for the Panama canal are 847263768.20.
making the grand total of estimated
expenditures payable from the general
fund 8686184563.55; and accordingly
the estimated excess of expenditures
for 1913 including the Panama canal is

Beakims; ami. Currency Reform.
It is a matter for profound congrat-
ulation that it wiu now be feasible to
realise without further postponement
the long-waited reform of the banking
and currency system. It would be a
vast disappointment to the country tf
now. when all the preliminaries hare
been accomplished anything should be
permitted to obstruct or postpone
prompt consideration and action.
The report of the commission will in
all probability be so nearly complete
in suggestions and will furnish such
ample facts and general material that
whether congress shall adopt the rec-
ommendations of the commission as a
whole or not there need be no- further
postponement of legislation. The ten-
tative plan of the commission in its
main features has satisfied very much
the larger part of the expert opinion
of the nation: and it has generally the
support of our business men
The common indorsement of the re-
form and of its urgency marks in a pe-
culiar manner the nonpartisan charac-
ter of the present mevement. There is
no bit of party color left in the mone-
tary question. The instinct of the na-
tion has eradicated partisanship- from
this great business and social question.
So far as the administration is con-
cerned it has heartily taken its cue
from congress and has done and will
continue to do its part in keeping this
great issue wholly nonpartisan. The
administration wants this legislation to
come from the whole of congress and
from both parties; and to be for th
whole of the people.
To PreTCHt Speculation.
The principal requirements of a new
banking and currency measure are that
it shall provide a practical immunity
from serious panics: that it snail put
an end to the tendency which forces
our bank balances into speculative

Civil Service Retirement.
The possible extent of efficiency and
economy that is attainable by any of
the departments Is rigidly restricted
by the lack of a retirement allowance
and system. In a government so gen-
erous and intelligent as ours the ab-
sence of a civil retirement system is
singularly inappropriate and inexplic-
able. Indeed the adoption of a pro-
vision retiring members of the . civil
service has become so usual and so a
matter of course that America is the
only important civilised government
which does not recognize this as a
national duty both to the employes
and to the government and people. I
appeal therefore to congress again
as I have done each year in behalf of
such a law. Every consideration of
humanity economy and efficiency that
is conceivably related to the question
calls for action at this session.

Four Chinamen concealed in a re-

Chinamen evidently were trying to
moke their way to Chicago as the re-
frigerator car -vtas billed for that city
and It in believed that they came from
Cludad Juarez during the night as the
immigration officials nad learned that
four would try to oross the border dur-
ing the night. They had made their
way into the country safely but the
Immigration men got them before they
could get out of town.

He immediately locked the car from the
outside and telephoned for the immi-

The Chinamen will be taken before
