VITAL WASHINGTON NEWS
TAvENNER, "WRlTER AND THlNkERp GIVES US THE
FACTS AS THEY REALLY EXIST

Washington, Sept II - Spending
SO, 567, ,6S5.66 every business day, the
United States under the reign of the
standpat Republicans has become the
most extravagant government in the
world.
Increased expenditures in the first
year of the Taft administration, over
the corresponding year of Cleveland's
last administration, amounted to $780,
730,600, or over 12O per cent. This oc-
cured under the much-heralded Taft
policy of "cut-to-the-quick" economy,
recently repudiated in Maine and Ver-
mont.
National expenditures for the ensu-
ing year amounted to 81 1,098, ,S47, ,1S4,
which is more than the entire capital
of all the national banks in the United
States, $919,143,S25, and more than
one-third of the entire output of all of
our gold mines in 100 years, $3,06S,-
7S7 900.
Two striking illustrations of the Re-
publican business" administration
are A deficit of $11 ,579,265 since June
30, 1910: A deficit of $1S0,3S1 ,355.6
since June 80, 1907.
Here are some of the ways the
standpatters spend the peole's money
in republic::
Marble baths for senators. Autos
to carry them 100 rods between their
offices and the Capital. Touring cars
for the President, vice president and
Uncle joe"
More than $500 for appolinaris
water for the senators. Thousands of
tor oil, olive OIL bromo quinine, hair
tonic, costly perfumes, glycerine, ber-
gamot, nail brushes, clothes brushes,
travelling expenses in attending fun
erals, etc
Much Money Wasted
If the waste at Washington is $780,
100000 year, as stated by Aldrich,
every American family suffers to the
extent of S1666 every year. This
enough to buy a suit of clothes. 1t
will buy an overcoat or cloak 1t
will buy nearly three tons of anthra.
cite coal. 1t will buy four or five pairs
of shoes, or various other necessaries
Extravaganza Increases Prices
Under our system of excessive pro-
te"tion, government extravaganza
and cost of living keep pace AS the
government raises practically all OF
it's revenue by taxing things eaten
worn or used, the consumer pays his
pro rata of government extravaganza
every time he buys protected article
at his local grocery, dry goods OF
furniture store.
This rule proves itself. The per
capita appropriation by Congress
jumped from Sc to $12 between 1890
and 1910. Increasing in almost exact
proportion, the prices of 100 leading
articles, according to Bradstreets, ad
vanced Sc per cent between 1896 and
! 1910.

yes replies the motcrist after the
report has been read to him, 1.-The
statistics undoubtedly give the horse
the best of 1t; but notice that the ami
NAL referred to is the farm horse. Al
though the steam pillow and motor
truck have made encroachments upon
the usefulness of the draft horse, he
still is indispensable. His city broth
ers have suffered from competition
by the motor car. What about the
price of carriage and saddle horses,
and the nags that pull express and
delivery wagons?"
Only the horses used for pleasure
driving have suffered in price from
the use of motor cars. Few motor car
owners keep a stable in addition to
a garage, and the result has been a
depreciation in the value of harness
horses. A matched harness team that
two years ago sold for $500 or $500,
will at present bring not more than
$500 or $500.
The discarding of carriage horses
by motorists may be the reason that
the price Of horses purchased by the
United States has remained stationary
for the last year. Some of the horses
replaced by m9toF ears are bought
by firms that require better stocH
than the ordinay wagon horse. There
are horses drawing hearses in Kansas
City today that few years ago We're
owned by wealthy men who were pro
of their judgement Of horseflesh- wne
the motor fever attacked them, the
horses were sold at the first price
offered.
The wagon horse is no SLOUGH. Every
year his price has climbed until to-
day it is impossible to buy servicea-
BILE team for less than $500

Horses VS.. Motors.

More than 100000 motor cars were
manufactured in the United States
last year, and the manufacturers esti-
mate that twice the output will be
sold in 1910 Has the price of horses
been lowered? VIII it be affected in
the future?
Men who deal in horses say that
the horse industry in general not only
has been unaffected by the develope-
ment of power vehicls, but the price
of horses has increased more than
so per cent. within the last five
years.
To prove this assertion, the horse
lover refen 20 the last report of
the United States Department of Ag-
ficulture. The report contains several
complimentary statements about Dob
bin.
The Government statistician has
found that since 1890 horses have in
creased 81.2 per cent in price and 1886
there were 1,1OS,0O0 horses in Kansas
and 957 900 in Missouri. The average
value head was sS7 in Kansas and
SIS in Missouri-One year later-Jan-
nary /, 19O9-the number OF horses in
Kansas had increased TO 1,152, OOO,wi
an increase in value of 81 head In
Missouri on the same date the
number of horses was $4,000 and their
value had increased SO a head.
The horse lover is careful to ex-
plain that in arriving at the values
given the statistician has had TO es-
innate thousands of horses worth not
more than s1,4S each, which brings
down the average.
THE veriest old wind-bnoken

Old Folks Day at Baptist Church Next
Sunday-Lord's Supper Postponed.

On account of rain just at preach
ing hour at the Baptist church Sun
day, many of those who were anx-

by vote of the congregation both the

postponed until the third Sunday at
the IL O'Clock service.
Next Sunday will be observed as
"Old Folks Day" All will find a
welcome, but the old people are es-
pecially invited. Seats will be re-
served for them and they are TO
have the lead in singing, &c The
gong and praise service will begin at
10:3O and the preaching at IL O'Clock.
The theme will be Heaven" At
the close of the service each old per-
son will be given a souvenir of the oc
casion. Come thou with us and we
will do thee good" Let us make it a
great day.

this he will tell his personal exper-
ience-how he was saved from the

Which is the Better Tariff.

In his recen. speech at Newark
President Taft spoke in glowing
terms of the large increase of Gus
toms revenues under the new Tar
if law, and seemed to regard that
as a complete vindicatiOn of the wis
dom and efficiency of the revised
schedules. 1t does not seem TO have
occurred to him that the Tariff which
produces the largest amount OF
revenue Is not necessarily the Tariff
that is best for the country. An in
crease of customs revenues may be,
and in this case is accounted for by
the fact of a heavy increase of i'm
ports of dutiable and competitive mer
chandise. Does the President regard
that as the highest possible achieve
ment in Tariff making? Does he not
know that for every additional $780,
100000 of duties collected there must
come an additional $3.50, 100000 of com
petitive goods to displace far great
er amount OF the prcuucts OF uO-
mestic labor? Is that a consumma-
ton wished? Free-Traders and i'm
porters and foreign manufacturers
and big merchants who make greater
profits on imported than on domestic
goods very warmly approve of Tar
if that produces such results. But
We should think that it might possibly
occur TO President Taft that Tar
if which increases the revnue may
not prove an altogether unmiXed
blessing and that a very much better
Tariff is one which restricts instead
Of increasing competitive imports
while at the same time providing
sufficient revenue. That is what the
Dingley Tariff did.

Reveries Amidst the Tombs.

/ strolled a little while ago into
a country churchyard and spent
solitary hour among the voiceful mon
ments of stone and clay that marked
the sacred slumber ground of death.
The first chill of the autumn wind
was on the whitening grass; recent
frost had touched the forest leaves,
and a gentle south wind shook them
slowly down. The yellow sunbeams
came pulsing through a smoky en-
velope that trimmed the distant hori-
zon in robes of blue. No human voice
nor note of bird nor chirp of insect
broke upon my sad and silent
reverie.
Only me. All else was death, and
yet were death not wholly silent.
These mounds of clay, great and
small, spoke to me with fOrceful
energy of the life that VISA upon the
earth but was now dissolved into
crumbling dust.
In this large grave, unmarked by
flower, shrub, or stone, lies the wife
and mother OF a home. Here lies
and mothre of home. Here lie the
pulseless arms that once caressed a
devoted husband, and thrilled joyful
childhood with their soft embrace.
Here lies a tongue, now never more
to move, that once trembled with
the story OF hearts devotion for the
man she loved and lulled baby to
sleep with an evening song. Here lie
the lips, through which life's warm
red blood can never course again,
whose holy kiss has oftimes thrilled
the heats of life and sometimes
sadly pressed the cheek of death.
Here lies heart that beat out It's
time and rests, ah, here waei life, now
here Is death. The story of this life
can never now be told, but likely ran
the common course of joys and pains
and earned at last the peaceful res.
it is taking here.
Over there half length grave
speaks to me; not loud, Indeed. but
in piercing strength, that moved my
heart to pity and TO tears. 1t was
