'cotics, Dr. C. J. Douglas of Dorchester,
Mass, declared in favor of the somno-
lent method of curing the morphine
habit which, he insisted, is becoming
a world wide menace. Dr. Douglas
advocated the giving of harmless sed-
ative drugs until the morphine victim
has lost the craving and effects of the
drug.

that offer, and is sustained by Presi-
dent Taft.
There still remain two other ways
to raise money. One is to cut down
expenses, and the other is to issue
bonds. To issue bonds means to meet
the bills after while instead of now;
to go in debt If the republican party
remains in power, and its campaign
of extravaganza increases at the same
ratio that it has in the last eight years,
it will be an absolute impossibility for
the government to take up the bonds.
Nevertheless, it is the conviction of
close observers here in Washington
that Senator Aidrich intends bond
issue. some time this summer.
But what about cutting down ex-
penses? AS long as the present admin
intration leaders remain in power. that
is more impossible than any of the
other reliefs. sas
Here is the reason there is no hope
for the expenses to be cut: Ii has al,
ready planned that when congress
meets this fall it will appropriate
more than 100000, 600 in excess of the
sum it appropriated last session. There
was no river and harbor bill last ses
sion, you remember This year there
will have to be one. 1t will carry
about $50,000.O0O

says that at the 61st session it will
run .up to about $160. 100000.
AT the last session there was no pub
lie buildings bill. At the coming ses-
sion this bill will be necessary. and
will carry $20,O0O,O0O at the lowest es-
innate.
Then money must be appropriated
for the taking of the census. The Pan
anna canal will have to be given a fur
ther stupendous financial lift. The
army is calling for an increase In pro-
portion to that promised the navy.
Republican extravaganza is destined
to be one of the big issues of the con-
gressional elections of 1910, and will
be still bigger issue in the next presi-
dental campaign. So many commits
sions and other new offices have been
created for politicians In the last
eight years that the running expenses
|of the government are more than
double what they were during the last
Cleveland administration.
Extravagance is Shocking.
Figures tell a story of extravaganza
almost impossible of comprehension
The aggregate appropriation of the
last Cleveland administration Fiscal
years 1893 to 1S97), amounted to
s1,574,105.556. The aggregate appro
priations for the last Roosevelt tern
reached $3,214,993,19S. or more thar
twice the sum required to run the gov
eminent during the Cleveland admin
eistration.

Cambridge Man Easily
Triumphs Over Craig

LOSES BUT ONE COUNTY
Few Contests Down State
Liquor Element Strong in
Cook County.

Chicago, June Sin the Cook coun-
ty judicial election yesterday the re-
publican candidate, Theodore Bretano,
was elected over William Brown, Jr.
for judge of the superior court by a
wide margin and the republicans elect
ed eight of the fourteen city judges.
Judge Hand Reelected.
Down state the most interesting
fight was that in the Peoria district
There Judge John p Hand was re-
elected to the supreme court over
Charles C. Craig. The labor and IL
quor elements made a vigorous fight
on Judge Hand, distributing thousands
of circular throughout the district in
an attack upon him. In the face of
this he carried every county except
Marshall, where Craig had a majority
of 92 votes. Judges Worthington and
Green, democrats, and Judge Puter-
baugh, republican, were reelected cir
cult judges of the Tenth district with
out opposition.
Liquor Element Scores.
The labor forces of Cook county sue
ceeded in pulling Kickham Scanlan, re-
publican, through to victory. Although
that candidate failed to get the en-
dorsement of the newspapers or of the
Chicago Bar association, the liquor ele
ment was for him. To the labor ele.
ment is also laid up the defeat OF
Francis Adams and Richard w. Cliff
ford, all of whom were supported by
the newspapers and the bar associa-
tion, but failed to procure the friend
ship of either the labor or liquor ele-
mentS.
Few Contests Down State.
Down state there were few sharp
contests. Either the old judges were
reelected or there was virtually no
fight in the First, Fourth, Sixth, Sew
enth, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh
Thirteenth, Fourteenth. Fifteenth. Six,
teenth and Seventeenth districts.

ways and means for the nomination
of a republican Judge for the Eighth

ner county committee yesterday dr..
ternoon az standpoint. but no
agreement on the subject 10 be con-
sldered was reached.
The COMMITTEES OF this county SUBJ
mited 70 the Bonner county commits
tee the proposition or having the cen.
trial committees Of the two counties
select delegates for d judicial con-
vention, the delegates from zach Of
the two counties TO be based upon the
vote cast az the last election. but II
was rejected by the Bonner county
committee. The Bonner county COM
mittee then submitted the PROPOSE.
ton OF having the two county cen-
trial organization make the nominal
ton. The Bonner county central
committee Is composed OF 81 mem
bers while that Of Kootenai is COM
posed Of but 80. and the Bonner
county committee agreed 10 cut their
committee down to 30 members MAKE
Ing the two organizations equal Ia
uumber. The Kootenai representa-
tlyes rejected this proposition be-
cause Kootenal has 1000 more votes
than Bonner. and the committee rep
resentatlon would therefore not be q
fair one.
The committee OF this county then
submitted the proposition Of holding
a judicial convention the delegates
OF which were to be elected from the
various precincts. and the number 10
be based upon the vote cast for gov
ernor at the last election. The APP
portionment proposed was ! delegate
to 100 votes. The subcommittee
seemed TO consider the matter favor
ably. but the matter went before the
whole central committee and Il was
rejected.
In this proposal was also contained
the further proposal that the bill
creating the Eighth Judicial district
be tested as to the election clause be-
fore the supreme court. and Il was
recommended that steps be taken By
the organization TO that end. The
election clause, It seems, provides
for the holding of a special election.
but does not state the ONCE to be
Allied and a number OF other technl-
calities and has been pronounced by
many lawyers as invalid.
What course will now be pursued
in nominating a Judge Is hard to pre-
dict. but II will probably result IN
the central committee Of this county
ealling primaries for the election
of delegates TO q convention OF the
two counties for the nomination OF a
Judge.
