Secretary Shaw is the high roller of the Roosevelt administration, says an exchange. His contact with the mdl- lions that the United States treasury receives and pays out has evidently made him reckless spendthrift of government funds. In speaking in Oregon the other day he improvidently said: "I am not talking for ship sub. sidy; but I am willing to pay the price that will give us ships that will carry our trade" Of course, the prodigal Shaw would not think of q subsidy to the ship trust, but he is quite willing to 'pay the price," Millions for sub sidies. enormous appropriations for the army and navy, and vast increase for the civil expenses constitute the administration program--all of which will have to be met by an issue of bonds or more taxes. The american people are now burdened with a de- pleted treasury, with imminent danger from republican extravaganza of still larger deficits, yet Secretary Shaw, who ought best to know of these things, is an ardent advocate of sub sides.

The republican party is extravagant and wasteful, frequently corrupt and inefficient. In the last three years, 1ln- der President Roosevelt, the expenses of the federal government (not includ- ing the cost Of the rural free delivery service, or any part of the postal ser vice, or interest on the public debt), has been $167, 7,000,0S7 more than dur ing the entire four years of Democratic President Cleveland's last term. This means that four years of republican rule cost each man, woman and child in the United States, on the average, $S.25 more, which must be paid in taxes, than four years of democratic rule. This amounts to- $37 .25 for each family of average size. Republican extravaganza has already produced a deficit which must be offset by re. duction of expenses or by new taxes. The republican way is higher taxation; the democratic way Is reduction of ex- penses. Remember that whoever buys

This is no question of protection or free trade. Many of the rates of duty now charged for the benefit of the trusts are absolutely without defense from the protectionist's point of view. The republican way of making tariff schedule is to ask those who make and sell goods it covers how much they want, and let them have all they dare ask for. Tn many cases the present duties simply protect monopolies in charging high prices at home while they sell the same articles in foreign countries for vastly lower prices. The republican party stands patp on the abuses of the present tariff law; the democratic party would reduce tariff taxes without injuring any legitimate American enterprise or any American workman. If you think that the peo, pie of the, United States ought not to be taxed to support monopolies, vote for Judge Parker.

Another Great Free Offer.

The wonders of the new discovery for examining and treating the sick and afflicted have been investigated by a great many people since the Radio Chemic Physicians located their suite of offices in the Commercial Building, 11O Bank street. A large number have been benefited and cured by the scientific and conscientious treatments of these skilled and eS perienced specialists. Others, who would have Liked to secure the ser vices of the X-Ray Doctors, have been prevented by the throngs of people waiting for treatments. TO such ns nave never been under the care of the Radio -Chemic Physicians is now ex- tended an invitation to come to the office within the next two weeks for gratuitous x-Ray examination, and Tn addition free trial treatment. No matter what the nature of the disease IS. they will give you their services absolutely without charge or compen- sat sation on any day excepting Sunday.

RELIGIOUS DISCUSSION.
Protestants and Catholics to Come To- gether


 A movement is on foot amone Metil- odist, Presbyterian, Congregational and Lutheran leaders to form q small society irterdenominational having for it's purpose discussions with Cath ollie leaders, and especially with Paul. ist Fathers, over the positions of Catholic and Protestant churches his- torically ahd theologically. Not at ali is a mere religious controversy sought. Protestants in the movement profess the highest respect for the Paulists in their missionary zeal to convert nor- Catholics. They admit that the open ing of the mission house in Washing ton, which Is to occur next month is q logical act, and quite justified by the Paulist position. Protestants argue that discussion between themselves and Paulsts will result in good to both, and in larger information to the public. Indeed, some of those in the movement assert that nothing would promote Christian activity in America more thana vigorous campaign of argu- ment, in which the best speakers on both sides should be engaged, and the public would take a lively concern. 1t Is i'll the hope of provoking such con- trover'sy that the Protestant organiza- ton Is forming.

WATERBURY IN DEMOCRATIC
 COLUMN AGAIN.

The result of the elections in the state yesterday shows pretty con clusively that the republicans will not have walk-over next month. It also shows that those who are claiming the state for Parker have some grounds for their claims. At the present time the outlook is more favorable than it has been in years. Yesterday Water bury gave a democratic majority of 137; one year ago the republicans car Tied the city by 641. 7 These figures are from the vote for the registrar of voters, which shows the party vote pretty accurately. The total vote for registrar last year, when there was q city election also, was S,5S5, while this year it was only 3,940. If the demo- crats can make gain showing, a ma jority of nearly 15o in such n small vote, 1t can be seen that those who are looking for an old time majority of from 600 to 1000 next month, have good grounds for their opinions. Two years ago when there was no city election the republican selectmen were elected by about 200 majority. From these figures it will be seen that the democrats are rounding up as of yore, and will be ready next month to give tho national and state tickets one of the old time majorities.
 Here are the figures, and figures we are told never lie:

MODERN CHURCH IS DYING.
Preacher Declares There Are Two
Many Otfshoots from 1t.

In an address which was the feature
OF the fourth annual Baptist Social
Union of New York Rev. H. Conwell,
D. D., pastor of the Baptist temple,
Philadelphia, has declared that mod
ern churches are dying slowly but
surely because of Indifference OF pas
tors and congregation.
"The modern christian church" he
said, "is becoming submerged because
of laxity. Pastors are growing indif-
ferent and congregations are all the
time becoming smaller. There are too
many movements, too many OfshOOts
and different phases of creed, The re-
suit is that the parent church is dying
The Ouly reason that the young man
goes to church nowadays is because he
knows his best girl is there.
The Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation is more prosperous than the
church because it is made attractive
with its books and gymnasiums with a
true Christian spirit. With hospitals
and colleges the sectarian spirit is
waning. Men who make large endow-
ments as rule stipulate that the in
situations they help shall be non-sec-
Sarian. If the church is TO live we
must come back to the first teachings
of Christ"

RICH FOLKS VICTIMS.
More of Them Than Poor People
Have Pneumonia in Chicago.

A Chicago dispatch says pneumonia
has made fearful ravages in that city
so far this winter, according to the
bulletin issued by the health Depart
ment. Nearly 2,30O persons have died
of this disease, aud it is feared the
spring thaw and chaHgeable weather
now due will greatly swell the total.
One remarkable feature of this ter
rible mortality rate is that the promi-
Dent people have been the hardest hit.
Wealthy families who are able to take
every precautiOn and employ the most
skillful physicians have suffered pro-
pOrtionately worse than the poor peO-
pie, who are thinly clad and poorly
housed.
Health department officials again
call attention to the noteworthy fact
that pneumonia has far outslripped
tuberculosis in the death rate in Chi.
cago.
