The Paramount Issue.

Replying to the New York Worlds
showing of the unparalleled extrava-
cameo OF Congress under President Roose-
velt's administration. the Springfield
Union asks:
"suppose the government expenditures
under President Roosevelt have exceeded
by sSs3 900, 0GO those under President ClcVe-
land. what OF 1t? Would the World have
locked up this vast revenue in the vaults
| at Washington, or would 1t have thrown
1t back into circulation through the
medium of great public improvements?
Tho World replies that it would have
done neither. Our contemporary believes
that revenue should be regulated and
limited by the wants Of the government
when economically administered. It be-
lieves that unnecessary taxation Is I'M
Just taxation; and 1t believes that the
right place for every dollar not needed
for the just purposes of economical gov
eminent is In the pockets of the men
who earn it-not in the vaults at WASH
Ington. nor thrown into circulation
through extravagant jobs, demoralizing
pensions or lingo expansion.
That~ris as fine a reply as we. have
ever seen to the Republican doctrine Of
unnecessary taxation and extravagant
expenditures, and the issue thus raised
between the Springfield Republican and
the New York World is the definite and
ever abiding issue between the Republi-
can party and the Democratic party
The Republican party believes In taxa
ton for all sorts of representation
for protection to favored classes; taxa
ton to prohibit State banks from Issuing
currency. and for other prohibited pur-
poses; unnecessary taxation for the pur-
pose OF accommodating inisthe vaults at
Washington an enormous sum Of money
10 be used In extravagant appropriations
and to pay the great army OF pension
ors
The Democratic party, on the other
hand. stands for taxation for revenue
only. limited to the needs of govern
ment when economically administered.
Its doctrine is that every dollar taken by
the government out of tho pockets of the
pcoplo which is not needed for the eco
robbery. a government surplus Is n
theft and is sure to become corrup-
ton fund.
Upon this issue the Democrats can
mako it's fight with full confidence that
they will be supported by the people,

DEMONSTRATE COOKING.
Mrs. Armstrong Gives Lessons in
The Art of Using The
Gas Range.

The lectures and demonstrations OF
I Mrs. Helen Armstrong, Of Chicago, in
the Clipper bl OK last week on the Ad-
vantsges Of gas for cooking and its
economy as an agency in the culinary
ar; were largely attended. and we've ct
once interesting and helpful to con-
sumers Of gas a. a kitchen fuel. The
lectures, which lasted three days. were
given under the auspices OF the Canon
City Gas Company and were intended
primarily TO show the superiority OF
gas in the matter OF convenience, quick
ness, cleanliuess. cheapness and effici-
ency over any other fuel in the cooking
OF food
Aside from her practical talks on do
mestic science Mrs. Armstrong Illus
trated the small cost OF gas in cooking
when contrasied with the necessary
outlay for coal or wood. The meter
she used showed that only about two
hundred cubic feet of gas was consum-
mated in cooking operations during the
four days she was here, although large
range was kept hested for more than
an hour each afternoon. The meter
registration showed that the total value
Of the gas burned was only about forty
eight cents, although the amount Of
cooking done Was more than sufficient
to feed large family for like period.
The meter showed four and a half
cents worth OF gas was consumed the
frat d-y. five cents worth the second
day. seven eente worth the third day
and five cents worth the fourth dav.
Mrs Armstrong illustrated the best
methods OF cooking steaks, roasts and
stews Of all kinds, as well as of pr.pAr-
ing and cooking potatoes, puddings and
all varieties OF pastries; indeed nearly
the whole gamut of human diet was
discussed and demonstrated for the
benefit of her auditors. As an illu.tra-
ton Of the advantages of cooking with
gas Mrs. Armstrong is one of the best
eIpnnents ever seen in this city, and,
it is but poor praise to say tina; her ef-
forts were appreciated by the large
eli ntele which witnessed her opera
tions
The range used by Mrs. Armstrong
in making her demonstrations was in
all respects similar to those installed
by the local gas company in the ki'ch-
ems OF its patrons. So successful was
