We bear tome larger loss with grace. And then we rush around the place Because the house is out of butter Or else the flivver starts to stutter. Our husband's relatives depart.

Our wife's relations leave us. We do not let it break the heart. Nor yet too greatly grieve us. But let us break a fishing-line, Or lose a dollar forty-nine, And then you'd think, to hear the ruction. Twas death, dibastcr and destruction.

Paul nf. Par? a tha. j---, versity of Delaware with this country in general has lost a warm and understanding friend. He wad rector of the University of France, generally regarded as the most notable educational institution of Europe. Dr.

Lapie died of grip just as he was about to take a leading part in the ceremony of inducting Professor Charles Cestre. into the chair of American Literature and Civilization at the Sorbonne. Dr. Lapie was a gentleman of much charm and culture. He visited the United States last September.

At the international gathering 400 philosophers at Harvard University he presented seventy foreign delegates to the Americans, their hosts. It was. an imposing affair. Incidentally he won much applause by injecting several German phrases into his address, thus helping along a desirable fraternal spirit. He did this probably better than any other pe-son coaild have done.

FINE FINANCES ACCORDING to the report of State Treasurer Howard M. Ward cash balances aggretrating OD 5,000,000 are in the State treas-: ury, credited to three separate funds.

The school fund now is $1,430,725, and it is believed it will Ik- near during July. The other funds arc all satisfactory. It is a gratifying financial situation, but it should not lead to thoughts of extravagance. The State needs keen and level conduct. The State is a position to carry out a sane scheme for educational improve ments, including a buildinir nro- i gram.

No new burden would be imposed. The treasury so sound is all the more reason why the taxation laws should be improved and the defects corrected. But this cannot be done (unless our people manifest interest uic ft 'l Aiwie kj. Pont, wlu, has had ripe experience in the State tax office. Having the disposal of so large a balance in the State treasury increases the responsibility of our legislators.

Let us all support a genuinely progressive program, including repairing breaks or weak places in laws of taxation.

FEDERAL ECONOMY REPRESENTATIVE OGDEN L. MILLS, of New York, did not make a very impressive showing in the New York electiivi as the Republican candidate for governor tigainst Mr. Smith badly defeated. Mr. M.llr.

was That fact does not bar him from expressing himself on state and national matters. Ho has been appointed by President Coolidgc as the next Under Secretary of the Treasury, and he is a member of the Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives. This explains him. Mr. Mills thinks that the era of economy in Federal expenditures has gone, that the public is tiring of thrift and the demand for sPfH mg is steauuy mcreasiug.

lieves that the surplus snould oa used tq, lessen-the national debt, and hi thinks some of the higher taxes i-hould be reduced. Mr. Mills is not anything about i i quoted as sayin reduction all down the line, a reduction that would benefit the smaller taxpayer, who is just as much in need of such a slashing ai the larger taxable. How did Mr. Mills that the public is clamoring for higher expenditures? Thc implication is that the public favors higher taxes, for higher expenditures require more taxes.
