UNCLE SANS
POCKETS BULGE
Treasury Surplus So Large
That We May All Get a
DiVVy
SHIP SUBSIDY FIRST, THOUGH
By our own VIC. PublIshers' Press.

BY Our own Wire, Publishers Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec. cit has mar
rowed down to this: the leaders IN
Congress must pass a ship subsidy bill
to get rid OF the threatening treasury
surplus, or revise the tariff.
Uncle sam is getting rich so fast
that he does not know what to do
with his money.
At the close of business yesterday
the surplus was m round numbers,
s16.5OO.OoO. A year ago this time the
treasury faced a deficit of more than
100000 By the close Of the present
fiscal year, If something is not done
to stop the unhealthy growth, Secre-
tary Cortelyou will have on his bands
a surplus Of between S50,000,OO0 and
S60.000,0oO. At the present rate Of in
crease It will not be very long, only
a few years in fact before all the
money in the country will be tied UP
in the vaults of the treasury.
With this tremendous accumulation
of money in the pockets OF the gov
ernment growing like a SNOWFALL roll
ing down hill the tariff revisionists
have an ever increasing leverage with
which to pry loose the standpat.ers
from their heretofore solid footing. II
the government continues to collect SO
much mre than il needs, what argu-
ment can the standpatters find for
keeping the tariff wall so high2 1t
seems that the only way out for them
Is to hit upon some scheme that will
keep the worrisome surplus within
bounds. The ship subsidy bill looks
good to them. Once the subsidy gets
its hooks into the treasury surplus. it
may be reasonably certain of checking
that unhealthy swollen appearance.
Uncle Joe" Cannon. who holds the
legislation of the congressional session
in the hollow of his hand, is reported
to be "willing" that something in the
way Of subsidy bill be allowed to go
through at this session. That the
grandest standpatter of them all should
thus capitulate is regarded as proof
positive that the high tariff men real
ize the situation to be desperate. and
bnly the most desperate Of remedies
will promise a cure.

Too Many Elections.

The primary election law is prov.
ing to be a costly luxury to the tax
payers. Each primary costs the
parish about $500, followed in .
few weeks by a regular election
costing the same amount, il no,
more. Every vacancy that occurs
by death or resignation calls for a
primary and an election. In this
way the parish treasures are de-
pleted of thousands of dollars for
what appears to be a double and
useless expense. This part Of tue
election machinery should be sim
plified, and could doubtless be done
with justice to all, and less expense

Judge Baker, of New Orleans.
has recommended John Cook to
the Governor for pardon.
At the time of his conviction in
1899, on the charge of murder,
John Cook was q resident of New
Orleans. He worked as tailor
and was regarded very highly by
his friends. 1t was claimed that
he killed a man in ST. Tammany.
He and the man met in the woods
and there was quarrel. Cook
claimed that he was attacked with
a hatchet and that be was com.
PEELED to make use of his revolver.
Cook has many friends, and they
have tried often TO secure his re-
lease, There was always a great
doubt in his case, and this weighed
much with the jury which tried
HIM.

The way The newspapers all over

pie to pay their poll tax, you would
imagine they we're getting ''rake

the truth OF the matter is they get
nothing, and they want nothing, al.
though they furnish their labor and

it's community than any other insti
tuition, and its liberality cannot be
