Governor Whitman's Program The first line of effort on the pro¬ gram outlined by GovernO* Whitman in hi.s inaugural address \va.s "a through investigation of the varioui departments of the State govern¬ ment," with a view to "apply sound busin*!ss methods." He proi)Ooed also the adoption of a budget By.Ufm and the centralization in the Governor o' the powers and re-ipor-sibilities no.v exercised by seven Independently elected ofllcials.
With intense forccfulness the Gov- eiupr directed attention to toe in- creaee of crime and tho opirit of law- lespness. "Impatience with legal and moral restraints," he gays, "contempt for the Judicial and executivi; minis¬ ters of juitlce are phenomen x. observ¬ able in all American communities and pmcng all classes."
KelatlTB to the "unregulated p.-opa- ga^da" of those who are Inculcating contempt for all authority, ne declares (tai he will engerd^r "a fatal malady" 1 nlebb stopped by the qui-i ;ne(l coc- science of the people.

'.nCi ence ot hlf> high office to re-jxedy
ud cure this crying evil to will con-
Vuut to win the admiration and gratl-
ti de of all tho.ijfbtful citizen;.

The Merchant and His Credits A traveling salesman was remark¬ ing the other day that he had sold the usual quantity of goods the past few months, in spite of the war and other depressing causes. But he had found many of his customers hard up be¬ cause of the unusual number of re- j quests for credit. It was his opinion that in both good and bad times the American people are getting in too easy going habits about payment of bills.
It is not always tbe hard pressed worUngman on short Ume who dodges the bill collector the most actively. Many of the well to do are habitually slow pay. They make requests for further accommodation with the air of conferring a lordly favor.
When the victim of ill health or other mlAtortuae asks for a bill ot gooda on trust. It is often practioellr a request tor charjity. The merchant fails to see why he should carry the wholo Irarden ot the community's mis- fortune. So he charges up to hla whole trade the expense ot bad debts. Thua tbe tnigid and thrifty, who may live even parstmonlooaly, are compell¬ ed to pay for luzuriea tor the extra¬ vagant

In an exchange published in a mod¬ erate sized city, nine churches are using display advertising of their Sunday services. Apparently also they do not pay for it by sending the editor an Invitation to come to their fair and patronize the booths.

Objectionable Advertising
Some very interesting ideas have iK-en brought out at tlio annual con¬ ference of teachers of journalism held ttie past week at (Vjlumbia University. The statenuMit wa.s made by R. H. WaUlp, advoriisinK manager of tlic Neyv- York Tribune, that 88 per cent, of advertising was legitimate, and 12 I)t'r cent, illegitimate.
Mr. Waldo emphasized the idea that if the new.spapers would unite and throw out all this questionable 12 per cent, of advertising, they would far more than make up the loss by at¬ tracting patronage trom bu.sinesa men who now do not advertise.
This is an idea which the great ma¬ jority of the newspaper profession would welcome. The conscientious publisher is hampered by unscrupu¬ lous competitors. They receive ad¬ vertising that ought not to be printed. This makes it difficult for all others In the same field who are trying to get out profitable papers on a higher standard.
The greatest offenders rn objection¬ able advertising are a large class of metropolitan dailies, who give liberal space to Get Rich Quick schemes, and the most objectionable forms of medi¬ cal advertising. The publicity given to fake investments involves the most serious loss to the public.
