WEDNESDAY EVENING. JrNE 8. 1908

To MAKE the worse appear the better
r,ason Mr.. Tawney in the House, on
Saturday, in explaining the enormous
expend lures authorized by Congress,
with Characteristic efifOnlery placed the
blame therefore upon the democratic
filibuster. Referring to the tlibusItr
Mr. Tawney said;
LISA matter Of sincere regret that 10
accomplish political purpose or to gain
some partisan advantage, tine minority
in this House deemed it'elf justified in
nursuing the policy it has followed ter
almost two months, undtr The leader
,hip of the distinguished gentleman from
Mississippi (Nr. Williams); policy
which made It nee, sssry for the msJ' r
ity. in order TO tfausat any public busl-
ness. to adopt rules of prOcedOre undr
which non-pai { san questions 10 relatiop
to the appropriation of public moneys
could not be considered with that freedom
of discussion and action that ttherwise
would have enabled this House to pre-
vent many of the inCresses that were
finally agreed to. As the result OF these
increases the aggregate of the sppropr.a-
tiops made at this session is larger by
MANY milIiens than il otherwise would
have been.
But Mr.. Fitzgerald, democratic men
Der of the House committee on spTrj-
priationp, puts the responsibility for the
enormous appropriations where 1t prop
ety belongs. The president sent Con
gress 20 messages. Not one of them
urged econonomy, ard most of them de-
mandtd increased expenditures, especial
Igmonty for four big battieships instead
OF two. Mr. Fitzgerald said to The
House:
When the history of this seAlon is
impsrtially and truthfully wri ten, as !
will be some day, the wielder OF the b!
Sick will be pictured in heroic SIS 5
the head Of those who, openly encour
aged (f stcftliy hutt'-N w nm,
successfully raed the peoples 't;on
box.
Senator Culbtrson made a most strik
ing showing of the frightfnl growth o
military expenditure by comparison o
the outlay Ct the six years Of ROOSEVELT
administration with the six preceding
years, covering the time OF the Spanish
war. He showed that the exPenditur"
for the army fer The lAsisix-yeArs eEsve'
those for tIe six years from 1898 Il
1898 by $4l6,2l2,7S2, or 1877 $40 pc
cent. fhe expenditures for the navs
establishment exceed those for the form
or six years by $42S. 167, 59l, or 2S5 Oh
per cent. The increase in expenditure
for the srmy and navy combined sPgre
gated 1914, S79, S25, or ia 80 pc
cent. There is no parallel for this ex
travsgance in the past hist ry OF tn
country.

THROUGHOUT the Southland is being
celebr lted today the one hundredth an
niyerssry Of the birth of Jeiler1on Davis,
the frat aud only president of the Con-
federal States. Mr.. Davis was a pa
triot, statesman and soldier, but q
much malignod man, aud, now after all
these years since his death his true worth
and character are being understood and
appreciated and the example he set
would be we'll for the youth OF the
south to follow. He was by far the
sblest of all the seer alaries of war OF the
United Stltes and at the breaking out
of the civil war was filling brilliantly the
position of senator from Mississippi
Then he had to choose between his stst'
or the nation and without hesitation he,
like Lee, went with the people OF tho
south who afterwards saw TT 10 elect
him t. the position of their chief magis
trate. To the south he gave his wealth
aud his talents and at the close OF tot
war he suffered perhaps mora than any
of her leaders, for then he WAS selected
for persecution and humiliation by the
federal authorities. These he bora like
a Christian and soldier, but the charges
preferred against him by the United
States government never came 10 tris
and upon his release from prison he re-
turned to his home in Mississippi, where
he lived quiet life till the end came

DAVID W. FAIRLEIGH
GUEST OF TAFT.
Chairman of Republican City and
County Committee of Jeff
erSOn, Has Interview.
President Elect at Hot Springs.

HOT SPRINGS, Nov. 24,-Judge Taft
had long talk this evening with At
torney David w. Fairleigh of Louis
vile.
Fairleigh came here by appointing Mt,
and while he avowed that patronage
matters were not considered, he admit
ted the conversation was of political
nature.
The only kind of a position which
possibly would appeal to him is FEEDER
al Judgeship, and such an Office is not
available at this time.
The two men reviewed conditions in
Kentucky, and Mr.. Taft expressed re-
greet that the State did not go Republi-
can on election day. Mr. Fairleigh
gave it as his opinion that the primary
causes of the loss of the State were the
night riders raids and the activity of
the liquor interests in behalf of certain
candidates on the Democratic ticket.
Reports emanating from Kentucky
sources since election day have created
the impression that the State Commit
tee was not as jealous in behalf of the
national ticket as it might have been,
but the Louisville attorney told Mr..
Taft that it had done the best it knew
how.
The future of the Republican party
in Kentucky, Tennessee and other
Southern States where Mr.. Taft made
material gains, particularly among the
white voters, was the subject of some
discussion. While Mr.. Taft has not yet
begun to think of 1912, he is not over
looking any opportunity to store up in
formation that may be of value in the
next presidential campaign.
The fact that he deemed it worth
while to spend an hour or two with a
man of Mr.. Fairleigh's type would seem
to indicate that in seeking counsel upon
political matters he does not intend to
restrict himself intirely to men identi-
fed withthe national campaign Louis
vile Herald.
