JOHN Temple Graves, the brilliant
editor of the Atlanta Georgian. is
always doing something to keep him.
self to the fore, and at a banquet CIV
en- in honor Of Mr.. Bryan in Chatta-
nooga, Tenn, last Wednesday night,
he sprung a remarkable proposition.
It was nothing more nor less than
that Mr.. Bryan should nominate Mr..
Roosevelt for the presidency. Mr..
Graves took the position that Mr..
Roosevelt is standing squarely on the
Democratic platform and has done
more than any Democrat could have
done to put into effect Democratic
policies. Mr.. Graves said that such
step on the part of Mr.. Bryan would
startle history; but somehow or 9TH
er his idea did not seem to have much
effect on Mr.. Bryan, and it is not
likely that it will receive serious con-
sideration at the hands Of the DEM
ocratic party.

IT costs little more than twice as
much to run this government now as
it did ten years ago. One session Of
the Fifty-ninth congress appropriated
more than both sessions Of the Fifty
fourth. Ten years ago the per capita
cost of government was So, now it is
$3.50. The cost of government per
capita is now greater than at any 9TH
er period The Forty-f fifth congress
for 1879 and 1880 appropriated s704,-
900, 900, an average of 1857 100000 an
nually. The population at that time
was $4,000, 900, showing cost per cap
ita of 81. BY far the largest increase
in appropriations has been for the
navy. The largest proportionate in
crease in any of the expenditures Is
for Notifications, which were 100000
for 1907, with an estimate Of $15,0OO,-
900 for 1903. With the exception OF
the appropriations for pensions and the
legislative appropriation bill, each of
the big supply bills now carries more
than twice the appropriations called
for ten years ago.

who killed Frank Deal at Blacksburg,
was a kind, tender hearted man. He
said: 1T was my intention to shoot
him in his arm, for l did not want to
kill him." He just wished to chastise
him a little by shooting him five or
six times and then jumping on him
and choking and stamping him and
had to be driven off from his humane
work by an iron bar, in the hands of
the mill superintendent. There is no
