Through his attorney. Charles T.

before the court a motion to dismiss
the injunction pending against II. Clay
Woodward and brought by Rev. Gig
linger. upon the ground that the dis
missal of the Injunction against the

lord. means perfOrce dismissa
against Mr.. Woodward as tenant. Mr..

10 quit his place in 30 days, and for
this reason the injunction against the

Republican Extravaganza.

The Republican newspapers are ridi-
culing Judge Parker and Mr.. Davis for
3 calling attention to the extravagant ex-
> penditures Of the Republican admins,
traitor. But It Is no subject for ridicule.
The United States is a rich nation. and 1t
IS able to spend more than half a billion,
4 dollars a year. The people are able to-
Il pay the tax. But that is not the point.
First Of an, 1t is nlonstrous for the gov
ernnent to collect from the people by
taxation greater sum than is needed
Ito defray the, expenses Of government
economically administered. Every dollar
collected and disbursed in excess of such.
81 needs is a dollar wrongfully extorted.
from the taxpayers. Extravaganza in
II public expenditures implies robbery, and
4 robbery is as wrong IN government as It
Is In an Individual.
4 gain extravag ance breeds corruption
When the government takes from the
people more money than 1T actually
needs, some of the surplus Is almost sure.
to be stolen or corruptly used. A gov
eminent surplus is very apt to become 8
corruption fund, and 1t IS easy to trace
1.-The late corruption in the Postof1ce De-
partment to Republican extravaganza.
Still again, government extravag ance
lis entirely out of keeping with Demo
cratic simplicity. Absolute monarchies are
proverbially extraYagant. Kings and
Cars live in the greatest luxury OBJ
taining their money by extorting it from
the people. Extrava gance on the part Of
& government tends to beget arrogance,
81 and to promote rehabilitation A De-.
mocracy is the antithesis of an a olute
monarchy. An absolute monarchy means
J. a government rich and strong. but a peo-
pie poor and weak. true Democracy,
means an economical government. WITH
out pomp and show, with riches and
power reserved by the people and be-
1 slowed upon the government according
TO Its needs.
39 Republican extravaganza has become a
reproach to the government. and me-
& mace to the people. It is high time for
patriotic men to protest and to call upon
the people to c heck It. It. is high time
for the party OF extravaganza and AFRO
gance 10 be turned ait of.:power. 1t is
time for the republic to return to Demo
cratic simplicity.

This is an olde5question Tho story
goes that when Roger Williams died and
was buried, an apple tree grew up out
Of his grave from which admiring yisi-

When II was determined to remove the
remains It was found that the roots Of
the apple tree had descended into the
coffin, and that every portion Of the
body and bones had been abs orbed by
the tree. and presumably had gone into
apples which the public had eaten. The
storyis doubtful. as the roots OF the APP
pie tree do not as a rule descend to the
depths of coffin well bestowed In the

you are welcome to It."
