A Challenge in Porcine Literature
Hurled at the East by the
Boundless West.

The article from New York paper
which is referred to below has been go
ing the rounds of the Kansas papers,
but the st. Johns News has been the
first to attempt to do Kansas justice.
That paper says:
The New York papers are chron-
icling the startling news that hog,
after being buried in a snowdrift
for four days, was rescued and
is getting over its experience In fine
shape That may seem like a pretty
big hog story to a New Yorker, but to
ar old Kansan such little things are
passed unnoticed. Why, we can beat
that hog story to death, and not half
try, and it won't be lie, either. Dur
ing the big blizzard OF January, 1885,
we had hog that was buried in snow
drift just 21 days before she was dis
covered, and when removed from the
drift she of course was ready for her
corn, but was still in good squealing
condition. The same year our neighbor
on the north, w. H. Campbell, had a
SOW that was caught out during the
same blizzard, and although not entirely
buried in the snow, was without food
for just 20 days before the owner found
her If New Workers wish to relate
hog stories, they had better come To
Kansas for data

Washington, D. G., Jan. 81, 1906
The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1906-07-05

The session of Congress that has
just adjourned was not much more
extravagant than its immediate pre-
decessors. But it at least showed lit
tie disposition to resist the tendency
toward extravaganza which has OF
late been SO marked. Senator Culber-
son showed on Saturday that there
had been steady increase in expendi-
lures. Those for 1904 were $35,496,-
995 greater than those for 1903. The
increase in 1905 over 1904 was $780,
336.233, and for 1906 over 1905 ST.
903,s36. All this is exclusive of
amounts spent for the Panama canal
We have had total increase for
these three years of $97,767,064; OF
this increase s34, 200, 000 is chargeable
to the naval establishment. Senatoy
Culberson puts the case thus:
The total expenditure for the yea IS
1903, 1904, 1905 and 1906 was $685.
0O4 400, and, deducting Panama ex-
penses, it was $2,Ss6,421 ,0S9 The to
tai expenditure of the years 1898
1899, 1900 and 1901. the four full
years of Mckinley, was $2,4s0,316. 800
1t thus appears that, exclusive of all
expenses in Panama, the expenditures
for the four years of Roosevelt ex-
ceeded those of the four years of Nc
Kinley, although he conducted the
Spanish war, by the extraordinary
sum of $434, 1O4. 500.
That is a remarkable, and a most
startling showing. The truth is that
we are living in an era of reprehen-
sible extravaganza, both in national
and private affairs. We hear of people
who have actually mortgaged their
homes that they might buy automo
biles With such spirit abroad If
the land it is not surprising that the
Government should be influenced b,
| it. But there is no reason why the
expenditures for the last four year:
should have exceeded by $434, 100000
the expenditures during the McKinle'
administration-which was of itsel
far from parsimonious.
The growing tendency toward ex
travagance is Observation-Disclosures
