REPUBLICAN PRooieALiTY.

Roosevelt's has been the most
recklessly spendthrift administration
this country has ever been cursed
with. II the President himself
were to meet economy IN the
highways he would give it the cut
direct. and the army Of schemers
and freebooters who infest the de-
partments are only too ready to take
the cue,-seeing multiplied chances
in the blind extravaganza OF their
Chief to promote jobs which will
feather their nests. The expenditures
for this year OF profound peace will
nearly double those Of 1898 when We
were engaged in foreign war, though
IN the interim the territory has not
been expanded by an acre and the
population Is larger by only about
twenty per cent. In every branch OF
the public service since Roosevelt
took the helm profusiOn to the degree
Of wastefulness has come to be the
rule. The cost Of our small army
and navy establishments is out OF all
proportion to what England spends
for her ornaments on land and sea,
and the same Is true of the civil ser
vice. The Philadelphia Press finds
nothing to oppose to this indictment
lut the "bigness" Of Uncle Sans do
minions and the fact that he Is en-
4axed in the mammoth work Of build
/ ing the Panama canal. But the big
ness has not advanced pari passu
with the rate Of expenditure. nor
does the annual appropriation to the
IN.co, boo}n "a account for the differ
ence. Under the Presidents tutelage
and example, We have for seven years
mast literally been throwing away
money with both hands. Republican
rule as exemplified by Roosevelt Is
the most expensive luxury that the
people Of these United States rave
ever INDUCED in. Ten more years OIL
such progressive profiigacy Of outlay
would reduce even this rich land TO
bankruptcy.-Norfo,k virs!nia-Piiot.

FURTHER DELAY IN THE ExTEN
SION MOVEMENT.

II is now certain that the Chamber
| OF Commerce will not pass upon the
question Of the advisabtlity and feast
bility Of extending the city limits un
i'll the regular meeting IL held next
month. This does not mean, how
ever, that the effort to choke OF an
invest CATION and prevent the cham
Der from deciding intelligentiy
whether or not the council should be
urged to take steps toward securing
an extension, has been successful. 1t
takes considerable time and work to
gather together all OF the data that
Is necessary for a real examination
OF the subject, and the special com
mittee appointed by the chamber has
not had sufficient time to make full
report. The opinion Of the commit
tee would be OF no value unless II
was based upon facts. and for this
reason the committeeman have re-
Trained from submitting any kind OF
report in the absence Of the inrorma-
ton they need.
The committee has now been auth
orized to employ such assistance as
NAV be required to make complete
investigation into the questions which
would arise in an extension move
ment. and there Is every reason to
believe that a report upon the inyesti-
CATION will be forthcoming when the
October meeting OF the chamber Is
held.
The Daily Press, as well as the gen
eral public. wants to see this ques'
ton sifted to the bottom and passed
upon, and does not propose to allow
1t to be forgotten again. This paper
believes that the annexation OF GER
tain suburban sections is necessary
and desirable Some people, chiefly
the representatives of the Old Do
minion Land Company. hold a diff
ferent opinion. The Daily Press and
other advocates OF extension ask only
that there be a proper. examination
into the question, and that the public
be given an opportunity to know the
result of this examination. while most
of those opposing the movement have
shown q disposition to shut on even
a discussion of the subject.
How well the "smOthering" tactics
have succeeded in the past is realiz-
ed by those who know that reports
prepared at considerable expense and
trouble by committees have never
been acted upon one way or another
by the Chamber Of Commerce and
city council, both OF which bodies
have launched extension movements
at various times. 1t Is the duty OF
every citizens to do his part toward
seing to 1t that no ''smothering" Is
permitted this time.
