Ncan extravaganza and recklessness tbe con-
s+antlv rising total OF federal expenditures. Sen
etor Culberson. Of Texas presented hgures the
other day to show that the expenditures OF the

land administration, and that the expenditures
of the present administration would probaoy
exceed those of the Mckinley administration by
S211 600 600 The Texas Senator's comparison
was doubtless intended as an arraignment OF
she two Republican Presidents apc the four Re
nuhlican Congresses, during whose eight years
tenure the nations disbursements have risen
from an average a year Of S4s9OOOoOO TO an
average a year OF S660,0O0o00. 1t sought to

increase in national outlay was Que TO hepuDn-

assaflable. we do not see that they justify the
Inference meant 10 be drawn from them. 1t is

LITTLE CHANCE FOR uR. SMITH

This year will witness a battle royal in New
Jerseys political arena. 1t is the last chance
of the Hon. James Smith to get back into the
United States Senate. from which helwas evict-
ed six years ago. and TO accomplish that result
he has at his command unlimited amount
Of money, political genius and expert knOwl-
edge of the game. Mr.. Smith will probably
nominate the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernOr. and what he wants above everything
else is not so much man who can be elected
one who can roll up majority in Essex
County and carry through with him the eleven
ASsemblymen from that county. With Demo
cratic delegation from his home county Of Es-
assured TO him. Mr.. Smith might have a
fair chance of victory, but If Essex cannot ne
won over his prospects will be absolutely nil.
The outlook now is that the next Legislature
will be Republican in both branches, and that
Senator Keans reelection will be practically
unopposed. There has been some talk about
Governor Murphy's offering himself as a can
ddate, but far this suggestion has not evoked
such a response as would give color sub
stance to il. When Mr.. Murphy retres from
the GovernOrship next January he is likely To
go back to private life unless he should be
tempted by the next administration. he IS
said TO have been by the last with the offer OF
high nlace abroad.

NEW POLICE CENTRAL OFFICE.

How many convincing arguments have been
made public in favor of building a police CEN
tral office, of huge dimensions and great cost,
uptown? The city owns the Centre-st land,
and that site for new police headquarters is
near The City Prison and the Criminal Courts
Building, the District Attorneys office, busy
police courts both on the East Side and the
West Side, many important police stations and
the teeming tenement districts.
Do sensible Newly Workers want a police cen
trail office on some site conspicuous as that
of a cathedral? Centre-st. would seem to be an
appropriate place for It.
