 Expendfxures.


 Paris, March 1.-The Chamber of Deputies today resumed the debate on the war buuget, number of orators urging the reduction of military ex- penses. Lieutenant. Roussets Republi- can-Liberal, opposed an item of sls.- o0O, 900 for strengthening the fortifca- tions, declaring that fortifications made people timid.
 Marshall Bazaine's mistake in 1870. he added, was getting behind the walls of Metz. The Colonel (who Is pro- lessor at the Military High School. and the author of many military works) asserted that Nancy should not be for tiled.
 M. Messimy, Radical-Socialist, urged that France should not keep up an army equal to that of Germany, as the population of Germany was greater than the population of France.

 St. Petersburg. March 1.-The Mo- roccan conference continues to absorb the attention of the diplomats here. King Edwards approaching visit to the continent Is regarded as a hopeful sign of the possibility of an agree ment being arrived at between Ger many and France. and 1t is the gem eral expectation that the outside pow CTS at the conference will seek to in duce the disputants to submit the points on which they cannot agree to the decision of the full conference.
 In government circles however, the crisis is not considered passed. It Is learned from an indisputable source that France feels assured of the sup port on the question of politics and Morocco of a majority of the dele gates to the conference and her pres e plan is to force a vote in the con- ference in order to demonstrate the falsity of Germany's contention that France represents only the minority view.

England is indignant because the
President of the United States is in
terfering with the spelling of the
English language. The idea of that
country is that the language is mere
ly loaned to this country and that we
are violating the proprieties by trying
to make it over. England is not fully
acquainted with Theodore Roosevelt
even if it has met his daughter, and
it has yet to learn that if he should
decide that the Magma Charta needed
to be changed he would not hesitate
to reconstruct the venerable docu-
ment.

The President has written another
letter to the Public Printer in adyo-
cacy and defense of his spelling re-
form which he explains is very mild
reform, at best or worst whichever
one pleases, and explains that it is
not obligatory on anybody, outside
the Government offices to adopt it.
He demonstrates by example that or
biography like everything else is in
an evolutionary state and that his
suggestion to Glide silent and super
Auous letters here and there is not so
much an innovation as il is obedience
to an inevitable law.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, Sept. ls.-President
Roosevelt or Mr.. Bryan; which shall
be endorsed by the voters of the
country? This is the only real issue
in the present congressional cam
paign.
President Roosevelt stands for the
Republican party and the party
stands for him. Every vote for Re-
publican candidate for Congress this
year is vote of approval for the poll
cies of the Republican party as inter
preted and carried out by Mr.. Roose-
velt and the Republican Congress.
Every vote for Democratic can.
didateis a vote of endorsement for
Mr.. Bryan and for all of the social
istic and imperialistic ideas that he
has picked up on his tour of the
world and that he will incorporate in
the next Democratic national plat
form. There are Democrats who are
trying to convince themselves that
Mr.. Bryan is not the dictator of his
party and will not automatically
shape its platform in 1908. The his
tory of their party for the last decade,
however, shows that, if the future
can be judged by the past, Mr..
Bryan will make the party platform
in 1908 as absolutely as he has in
every national convention since 1896,
when he captured the convention In
Chicago and, after assisting in the
framing of most radical platform,
forced his own nomination as a can
didate Again in 1900 although he
was implored by his party associates
to make concessions to the conserya-
tive, he forced the adoption of his
own platform in every detail. Yet
again in 1904 he dictated the plat
form and put his party in the absurd
position of running a gold standard
candidate on free silver platform.
With this history in mind there
can be no doubt that Mr.. Bryan ex-
poets and intends not only to be the
candidate of his party in 1908 but al
so to shape its platform. He has put
forward government ownership and
operation of railroads as his idea of
what the paramount Issue in the next
campaign should be. He is shrewd
enough to profess now that he does
not want to force it on his party, but
if the Democrats should elect a ma
jority of the congressional candidates
this year or should make any sub
stantial gains he would Immediately
claim the result as an endorsement OF
his new issue. He would sweep Sen.
ator Bailey, Senator Daniel and all
the other States rights conservatives
from his path and force the adoption
of platform containing his govern.
ment ownership plank and embody'
ing all of the strange and un-Ameri
can theories of government that he
may yet have in reserve.
In contrast with this picture of q
party ruled by single man who will
