FIGHTING FOR ECONOMY.
Enemies Made by Chairman Of House
Appropriations Committee.

Fighting for economy is not a popular
public duty by a member OF Congress. He
is subject to the charge Of being penurious
and having a lack of public spirit. Go over
the list of men who were known as con-
gressional economists and you will find that
they never achieved popularity In Congress
or throughout the country. The late VIII
liam s. Holman of Indiana was for thirty
years known as the great objector," and
the pathway of legislation is strewn
with wrecks that he has made OF
attempted Increases OF expenditures
of the public money. Yet he was
not popular in Congress nor outside OF it.
Speaker Cannon, when chairman OF the
committee on appropriations, was often ac-
cused of parsimony, and, although he ell
ways had more real popularity than any
one man in the House, yet he was sub
jected to criticisms by those who failed to
get what they wanted in the appropriation
bills.
The new chairman of the House COM
mittee on appropriations, James A. Taw-
ney of Minnesota, will be severely criti-
cised for his efforts TO reduce expenditures
and make savings in public money. He
seems TO be working earnestly in that d.
rection and has several times shown that
he will cut off extravaganza II he can ma
ii. That II is uphill work he has already
discovered. Every time he tries TO cut on
a little thing in the way OF apparent un-
necessary expenditure where some person
and rendering no equivalent return he runs
afoul of some favorite who must not be
disturbed" of some person tntrenched
so strongly behind "a breastwork of ''inf1u-
ence" that he cannot be Jared loose.
Meanwhile Mr.. Tawney finds that every
man who is in the least disconnected by his
well-intended efforts, whether II be the
person who draws the salary or the iniu-
entail friend, he has made an enemy and
added few more to the list OF those who
think him a ''parsimonious chairman"
Tawney Is called country statesman"
man who measures this great government
by the standards OF little village on the
Mississippi river" and, in fact, any num-
Der of unfavorable expressions are heard
on every side. He is simply meeting the
fate of every man who is trying to make
the government more economical, who Is
trying to stop numerous leaks and secure
good results for the money expended. he
is trying of course, TO make a good chair
man of the appropriations committee and
to secure good results, and, in spite OF all
that may be said about him, those who
know him recognize that he is capable
and energetic member OF the House and
they believe that his efforts toward econ
oiny are prompted by good motives.

Wand of CONGRATULATIONS are being

his heavy blackthorn cane that stood IN
the hat rack and stalked boldly toward the
dining room amid the admonitons of his
wife and youthful brother-in-law to be very
careful and not let the tramp hurt MIN.
Sure enough, there was the invader snug

President of the Council.


It Is certainly a remarkable body, this
Paris municipal council; and the majority
Of its members are very much under the
Bohemian socialist charm of a remarkable
man. This is their president. DR.. Paul
Brousse. whom, If you should see, you might
we'll take for a whiskered Latin quarter
blatherskite and pillar of cafes. II you
should hear him talk you would take him
for a scientific man of culture overcome by
a tender optimism as to the future of the
masses. And IL you should come to know
his life you might even mistake him for a
Christian Of the time of the Acts of the
Apostles.
Yet this man has been expelled from half
the countries of Europe as a dangerous
character and follower Of Roclus, Bakunin
and Kropotkine. Even easy-going SwitZer-
land condemned him to prison, followed by
expulsion, responsible editor OF a paper
that praised king killing anarchists.
This DR.. Brousse, the leader of the
''Broussist Transformers of Society is to-
cay giving the time that other men devote
to making mopey to such works as THE
Drop of Milk" and the Mothers Milk
movement, whose object is to save the lives
and stamina of French-born babes He is
lat home" to listen to the interminable
stories of the humbiest of his constituents.
He is almost as good to the poor of his
district a Bowery leader. without the
graft to carry 1t on
He believes that "the TRANSITIONAL ton of
society may be effected without violence.
Here Is one of the things he has said: 1t
was to the interest of big business men and
bankers that the postal service should be
come service of the government, and II
was to the interest of the workingman that
the bread service should become a serv-
ice of the government. The bankers and
big business men being the stronger, the
postal service has become a government
service while the bread service remains
private But it will become public
The London merchant princes felt the
charm of DR.. Brousse's personality. They
perceived his influence over the majority
of the Paris municipal council. They ad-
mired without reserve the lunching OF school
children and the taking care of kids while
mothers work.
He is a brilliant Frenchman," they said
as they rode in automobiles to Versailles.
Truly, the visit of the London county
councillors made stir in Paris. 1t was
taken for something far more than a proof
of cordial relations. There came over with
them story to the effect that all is ar
ranged for 100000 British soldiers to be IN
corporated in the cadres of the French

Artists Inn in Capri.
" Orleans TImes-Democrat.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
Capri. beautiful In itself as winter re-
sort. offers an Irresistible invitation TO ar
lists, since it has an inn where any one by
painting q picture on the wall can get free
board.
To the lovely Island of Capri. with it's per-
ennial summer, its blue grotto and its lem
on groves, came. some fifty years ago, a
ruined artist. He opened an inn, and died
rich. In his will. leaving the inn to his
heirs. he made these conditions:
The charge per day. two bottles of red
Capri wine included. is never to be more
than six francs.
IF any artist IS too poor to pay he shall
paint a picture upon some wall space re-
ce1ving all the accommodations accorded to
those paying the highest price
'If any German artist shall come to the
Inn he shall be accommodated, and shall
receive the amount OF his fare to Germany
upon his promise never to return to Italy"
The Inn is conducted today on these con-
ditions. Its walls are covered with paint
ings. Now and then German gets his fare
home.

through the Republican congressional
committee. The president also de-
clared that such a change would re-
suit in a hurtful oscillation between
the extreme radical and the extreme

said also he hoped congress will en-

New Iberia, Ma, Aug. 21-The negro
having yellow fever is isolated in the
outskirts of town President Irion CT
the state board of health and members
of his staff are here. Fumigation and
screening are in order. There is no ex-
element and no exodus. Quarantine
has not been imposed, but temporary
and indiscrminate travel to and from
this place is prohibited. Last year
there were sixteen cases of yellow
fever here, but it was of a very mild
type. Doctors think the present case
not a recrudescence of the iEver of
last year. 1t was probably reported
from some point along the Mexican
coast.
The patient is recovering.
A conference of physicians attended
by DR.. irion pledged full cooperation
with the board of health.
DR.. lrion sent a telegram to Health
Officer Tabor of Texas asking him to
come to New IBERIA and look over the
situation. DR.. Irion announces there
