The Shreveport Times says that
Bob Ingersoll has refused to discuss
the bible and christianity with Sam
Jones. Truth is mighty and will
prevail. - The man who is unable to
give sound reason for the faith that
is in him, builds structure on a
sandy foundation. Ingersoll has few
followers, and certainly no defender
who says he believes in God. He is
a pitiable example OF modern skep-
ticism, despite his brilliant mind and
masterful eloquence. These are
human attributes that shine but
dimly in the radiance OF truth eternal
and inspiration.

fourth Congress 81 .044. 4S,

1t IS obvious, therefore, that the
expenditure authorized during this
present Congress, although Speaker
Reed and Representative Cameron,
chairman of the committee on ap-
preparations, started out with the
expressed determination of making
it an economical Congress, is going
to be record breaker in the matter
of extravaganza. The Fifty first, or
Reed, Congress-, was no SLOUGH in
that direction, for 1t easily passed
the billion mark with its expendi-
ture of 81, 035, 900, 900; and till now
it has frequently been known as the
''billion Congress. But 1t will not
be known by that appellation in
future, for the present Congress, the
Fifty-fourth, has surpassed 1t in ex-
travagance of appropriations by at
least 50, 900, 900, as will be seen by
a glance at the figures we have just
tabulated.
1t is pity that the downward
trend of appropriations which was
established in the FiftY-second and
in the Fifty-third Congress, when
the total appropriated in the two
years was only $9S7, 900, 900, has
not been maintained in the present
Congress; but there is no getting
away from the fact that the growing
needs of the country call for contin-
ualiy increasing expenditures. The
increased appropriations in the pres
ent Congress are due mainly to the
larger amounts that have been re-
quired for {) rivers and harbors
$40, 1000, 900, (2) the navy (ss, o0o,-
o0o) and ~ coast defenses 10, 0oo,-
ooo;) but it is pretty safe to assert
that very few of the rejecting citi-
zeus of the United States will bes
grudge any portion of these sums.
They are all absolutely necessary
either to the furtherance of the III
ternal trade of the country or to the
promotion of that feeling of security
from foreign attack to which above
all things great nation is entitled.
Efforts have been, and are being
made iii Congress to show that the
increase in the amount of our gov
ornamental expenditure during the
last quarter and half century has
been very much greater than the IN
crease of the population, and that
the increase in appropriations is not
justified. The reasoning
is not good; many things become
necessary in the later and more ad-
vanced stages of a nations as of an
life that were not neces-
sary in its earlier stages. And adj
vances in civilization always mean
of money.
