SECRET BESSIONS OF THE
SENATE.
There is nothlnn that commends
the appointment of I’tofoaaor lianielH.
*>l New Jersey, a* a member of the
interstate commerce commission more
than the character of tfie opposition
to him. ui displayed In the executive
session of the si date Such aeasiotia
are nominally secret, hut the leaders
of that opposition made no secret aC
their reasons and motive*. Professor
Daniels is a competent man who un
derstands economic principles and
believes In treatthc oven railroad
corporations with reason and Justice.
That was enough to excite the wrath
ful opposition of a number of radical
and excitable senators.
What seems to have annoyed them
even more than their failure to de
feat the appointment watt the rule
of the senate which restrained them
from havink their objections and the
motives that inspired them paraded
in the public prints A motion to re
movo tho pledge of secrecy, which few
acemed to be very scrupulous about
observing, was voted down, and this
raised the wrath of ulne worthies
among the opponents headed by the
redoubtable and irrepressible I .aFol
lette. This valiant adversary of all
corporate power and all freedom of
capital, let it be known that he had
told tho senate to its face, in the ses
alon In regard to whose proceedings
he was bound to secrecy, that he
•'considered it a mistake to have con
sidered (he nomination behind closed
doors."
He may be right about that, but
when he "served notice" that he could
no longer toel himaelT bound to ob
serve a rule that proven*ed him from
discussing publicly any matter "con'
neeted with legislation," be being the
judge of It* connection with legisla
tion, he went rather far, to pul it
mildly If a member of the senate is
not to feel hound to observe one of
Us rules he will be quite as free to
disregard any other or all others when
It suit* hi* purpose. The senate has
hardly rules enough to preserve the
proprieties, when Us courtesies and
discourtesies .permit the kind of tac
tics sometimes resorted to for stav
ing off "matters of legislation.” We
see no particular reason why appoint
ments to office should be considered
in secret and It might be Just a*
well to let senators air their mo
fives for opposing them In publlr; but
if a change is to b* made it should
he made by modify ing the rules Hnd
not by defying then; The secrecy of
executive sessions has come very
near to being farcical anvwav
HOLY WEEK.
The Christian world during Holy
Week approaches Good Friday with
preat reverence Even those not
given to religious thought or church
going cannot fall to feel the sol
emnity of the season. "We call it
the Great Week,” sa> s St Chrysos
tom. "no! that It contains a greater
cumber of days, nor that the days in
it are longer, but on account of the
great things which God has wrought
in It. For on these days waa tho
tyrant of the devil overthrow-n, deaih
disarmed, sin and it* curse taken
iwiv, heaven opened and made ac
cessible and men made fellows with
the angels* St Chrysostom beauti
fully lev presses the wonderful achieve
ment* oi Holy Week.
Ihi nearer wo approach to the sol-
i enmity of Christ's Buffering* and res
urrection, by which mysteries *ll of
| the greatest blessing* were poured
forth upon men, the more are wo
! obligated to show all manner of acta
iof mercy and charity and klnduus*
| toward our follow ntcu
i Hack In ancient times It wss a
1 son of sackclot.il and ashes In a lit
i eral sense Killing monareb* weru
merciful during Holy Week Em
peror* used to forbid the execution of
any offender during Holy Week. Acts
of mercy were exercised by all in
authority. Thin was the custom among
Christian rulers, of course there
were other* who | aid hut little at
tention to the week of denial.
Maa'ers likewise were generous
with their slaves. Thai were given
the freedom of the week Ir. order that
they might make peace with the great
Father
The imperial law* of Theodoslps
forbade ail Judicial acts or, legal pro
cesses during the week before Easter
and the week following. "Lot ail ac
tion at i*w, whether public, or private,
cease in the fifteen paschal daya. I<et
*ll men have liberty at this time to
grant freedom to their Oaves and
whatever acts are necessary to be
done at law for this purpose are not
prohibited ” This was (he edlet of
the emperor, still treasured In the
archive* of history.
Thua the week will be observed
with unusual solemnity In the
churches. Good Friday Is the most
solemn day of the church year. Spe
cial service* will he held in the f’ath
ollc nnd Episcopal churches and In
many others that do .not cling so, re
ligiously to the observance of the
week. -*
Whether we are churchgoers or
not, we should at least respect the
feelings and beliefs of those who ar-v
and we should also lie moved by the
crucifixion of Christ during the pres
ent week so many years ago that hu
manity might in tiio end be saved

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN.
When BUI sot back to hia desk
Rfter being called into the boat' of
fice and accused of selling the figures
on some contracts to a rival firm, he
began trying to figure out how he
could cot the proof on the fellow that
did it. He suspected the mißi who
had watched him so intently when he
was coming out of the boss' office, but
how to catch him with the goods was
another thing This fellow had been
with the firm a v«ty long time, and

HOW BILL GOT ALONG
when Bill had been put in charge of
the department this fellow had shown
in several ways that he resented it
As BUI sat thinking, this same fellow
made several excuses to hover around
Bill and ask him questions, but
BUI didn’t let on at all that any
thing was wrong
Things went Hlong this wav for
several days, until Bill noticed this
s itnc fellow, who thought he whs nil
alone writing down some figures in
a little memorandum book Rijt
walked up unexpectedly behind and

taxes «r*- collected and expended In
the following manner;
Each commissioner I* responsible
for tiie conduct of some specific de
partment. lie make* au estimate ot
the cost ot that department for the
succeeding year.
When the estimates 4 /a made the
commissioners as a whole are held ac
countable for the coat of the gov
ernment
When the estimate* are corrected
and fixed the amount is called tho
annual budget. Taxes sre' levied to
aomunt sufficient to meet the budget
Then the commissioner of finance
Is directly responsible for the collec
tion of the taxes. This commissioner
apportions the amount to the various
departments.
Each commissioner make* a com
plete report every day to the com
missioner of finance of hla depart
ment for that day.
The commissioner of finance also
kee g a complete check upon each
fund, lierause every voucher is signed
by him and charged Immediately to
the department against which it Is
drawn. ,
A commissioner of finance Is en
abled to tell any taxpayer in the ctty
unj hour in tpe day the exact amount
of cash on hand In any department.
The books are balanced every even
ing.
No comblssioner is allowed to ex
ceed the amount of cash on hand in
his department at any time. If the
commissioners vote to allow a bill
when the cash is not on hand in that
department to pay the voucher, by
that act the commissioners forfeit
their office. If the commissioner ot
finance indorses a voucher when the
cash is not on hand to pay it, he not
only forfeits his office, but is re
sponsible on his financial bond for
that amount. Under this system the
city is conducted on a cash basis.
The annual budget once made, can
not be exceeded. The commissioners
forfeit their offices if they exceed the
amount in any one of the depart
ments.
. Under this system no commission
government city can be run into
debt. There can be no deficit in the
city treasury.
