Again the two statements about the ses-
sion The occasion would not be COM
plete without them. The country always
expects them. and Is always entertained
ny them Entertainment is all they sup
ply 1t is in order. and considered a duty,
for the minority to attack and the ma
jority 70 defend. 1t is the afterpiece. on
the plan of old-fashioned theatricals. The
players appear and make their concluding
fiourishes. as the bell rings and the cur
tain descends. Then the audience dis
perses. with the feeling that it has had
its moneys worth.
No cry is so overworked as that of
economy. What insincerities are perpe-
trated in it's name! How many men for
partisan purposes attack on the stump
work in which they have assisted IN
Congress, and for which they are in part
responsible, How gently they WOO appro-
priations when the amounts are being
piled up. and then indignantly denounce
the sums total in partisan appeals to
voters,
At present this is the role of demo-
Gratis. II Is their time to howl. But the
republicans have often played the part.
The cast Of the play depends upon the
party in power. When the republican
party is responsible, 1t is for democrats
to point out the waste and extravaganza
Of the majority rule. When the democ-
racy controls the purse strings, it is for
the republicans to show that unless a
change Is made, and that right speedily.
Uncle Sam will soon be completely strap
ped and booked for the poorhouse.
This comedy-sometimes carried to the
extreme Of farce-is at best but enter
tanning. The voters have learned to cast
up the figures for themselves. They
know the size Of the. country. have made
up their minds about what the country
needs. and are not niggardly in consider
ing liberal support to all meritorious
governmental projects. They are not. of
course. in favor of waste or extravagance
They want business methods. applied by
Congress to business matters. They ex-
pect a bill of particulars. and they know
how to go over one pencil in hand.
All sections and both parties share in
the appropriations of the session Just

licans submitting big figures. The pork
barrels" as usual. were eminently and
beautifully non-partisan. You could not
toll democratic from a republican fork
by the size of what was ifhpaled on its
prongs.- All forks looked alike, and all
were decorated No legislator was sighted
in the bountiful provision made. All
looked upon the barrels when they-the
barrels-were full, and in a spirit of
hearty comradeship helped to empty
them.

Der of the amateur contests will be
run off.
It has been announced that Barney
Oldfield and Ralph de Palma will set
tie their long standing rivalry at this
meet. All arrangements had been
made for this race at the meet in Day
tona, Fla, when an accident to de Pal
mas car put an end to the prepare
tions. The match between these two
men will undoubtedly be the greatest
automobile race ever seen in this coun-
try. The principals are the most dar-
Ing racers in the country and the cars
they expect to drive in the contest are
marvels of workmanship.
Oldfield carried off the laurels at
the recent meet in F1oria, including the
breaking of the worlds record on a
one mile straightaway course. He ac-
complished this feat in his big Benz
car, which develops close to 200 horse
power. This car looks more like a tor.
pedo boat than it does an automobile
having pointed bow and stern to cut
down wind resistance. De Palma has
a number of cars, but is basing his
hopes on his new 200 horse power Fl.
at, which contains all the latest speed
contrivances in its makeup.
Both men have unenviable records

No fewer than thirty-seven events

It is on this track that the drivers
hope to attain speed of one mile in

a new record for circular course. The
track itself Is constructed of wood and
shaped like q sauceh. The stretches
have been eliminated and the course
forms a perfect circle SO that all the
driver will have to do will be to set his
steering wheel at the proper angle and
then let the car out as fast as it will
