Cleve land, alter a two-years' study of government expenditures, con firms ex- Senator Aldrich's noted dictum that if the Federal es tablishment were run on a busi ness basis at least $300,000,000 could be saved every year. And if pensions were run on an hon est basis $150,000,000 of what we shall shell out next year would also be saved. Cnarlotte Observer. The foregoing shows how the money of the people of the United States is uselesly squan dered. The greater part of these immense suia is do rived from duties on imports and internal revenue collected on luxuries, tobacco and liquors and the. burden of raising it is not felt directly, yet it rightful ly belongs to the ieople. The Federal Treasury is preyed up on, for all kinds of jobs and schemes by Congress and others and we do not recall that Sena ror AiaricQ made any very strenuous efforts to check the useless expenditures, refered to, or to put the Government affairs on a more business like and eco nomical basis. If the $450,000, 000, thus said to be fraudulently and wastefully taken from the treasury could be saved and used for the construction of public roads and highways over the country the people to whom the money rightful lyjl belongs would be thereby benefitted.

The New York Herald has recently compiled a vote taken among its readers, the results of which seem very encouraging to the supporters of Governor Wilson for the Presidency. A summary of the Herald's findings follow: The HeFald published its first installment of its cpuntry-wjde review of the presidential situa tion, and its indications are that Wilson is easily leading both Taft and Roosevelt, with Taft running third, according to the straw ballots. More than 24.000 test ballots were taken in various parts of the country. The results in the various States follow: New Yar. Taft, 583 Roose velt 1,011; Wilson, 1,147. Con necticut, Taft 85; Roosevelt, 127; Wilson, 06. Delaware, Taft, 266; Roosevelt, 381; Wilson, 927. NeW Jersey, Taft, 245; Roose velt, 300; Wilson, 477. Pennsyl vania, Taft, 543; Roosevelt, 573; Wilson. 567. Maryland, Taft, 4; Roosevelt, 123; Wilson, 193. Ohio, Taft, 942; Roosevelt, 818; 1,914.

Uf the total straw ballot: taken in all regions the result was as follows: Wilson, 11,104: Roosevelt, 7, 147; Taft, 4.74H; Debs, 1,800 The tigures'show Roosevelt has drawn 4,150 votes from the Re publican party, 078 from Demo crats, from Debs. lhe Republican Joss from 1908, according to the figures, is 5,997. The Democratic gain over 1908 is 2,254. The Herald makes no predictions of its own, but merely presents the figures, which speak for themselves. It also prints the reports from cor respondents in every State in the Union, which bear out large ly the indicated results, of the straw votes. , The Herald finds that the Roosevelt tide has reached its height and that the Taft move ment is gaining in some parts of the country, Wilson remains stationary in some sections, gains in others, and, so far as reports show loses nowhere. The Herald says that its reports in dicate very clearly that Wilson is leading both the other candi dates. Polls taken by The Cincinnati Enquirer and The Buffalo Times along with reports from canvass taken by train passengers, give Wilson a surprisingly large lead. 1 lie total votes so far- recorded at Democratic headquarters give Governor Wilson 29,754, Roose velt 15,700 and Taft 12.643. The Democrats have lost 98 votes to Taft and Roosevelt, while they have gained .4,208 from Taft. ' .'J-..;.. ,,w,5r.
