"if they find themselves able to re-
deem their promises in the campaign
days-to reduce the cost of living and
increase the price OF labor"

be sure, but Mr.. Cannon realizes. of
course, that it will not be necessary to
increase the price of labor If the DEM

that hurts. One way to reduce this
cost is to reduce the cost of govern
ment. Only little while ago, it will
be recalled, Senator Aldrich, of Rhode
Island, said that the cost of the Gov
eminent without impairing it's eff
cheney could be reduced something like
s900,ooo,0O0 the year. That would be a
considerable saving. Then there ought
TO be reduction in the amount OF
money paid in pensions of something
like slOo,oOo,oOO the year. General
Grants idea, thirty years ago was
that s5ooO0000 year would be an
excessive amount to pay in pensions
The appropriations for the present
year amount to $l57,oOo,0Oo. This vast
sun, should be reduced by at least
sloo.oOO,OOo annually, and this. added
to the sSOO,OoO,ooO Senator Aldrich
could save. would cut the expenses of
the Government about s5Oo,OoO,ooO the
year.
There are rotten spots all about in
the cxtravag ances of the Government
that ought to be cut out, and investi-
cations, not directed in a partisan
spirit, but solely with the view of as
pertaining the facts, would enable tho
Democrats to at least make noise
like they were Keeping their pledges"
Mr.. Cannon will be member of the
next Democratic House, and If he

Pauline Wayne's baby died yester-
day, Soft-eyed as a ga2elle beautiful
as picture. and filled with animal
spirits, he had the promise of long
life, and before him. as 1t appeared,
there stretched f1owery meadows filed
with running water, under the bright
skies of Maryland. One could fancy
him playing in the midst of the lush
grasses and in the abandon of jocund
youth rushing over the hills and far
away, trying to think out the prob
lens of life as presented to him in
the shadows of the waning day or
the sunshine of the morning, intent
only upon getting the most and the
best out of his life and growing up
into sturdy maturity, the chief OF his
fellows and the admiration of the
neiShbors, Born with silver spoon
in his mouth, cared for with the ut
most tenderness, refreshed with the

world lay before him, long vista of
green pastures and still waters. Yet
to-day, with heart stilled from beat.
ing any more and eyes closed never to
| open again, Pauline Wayne's baby re-
spends no more to her caresses. 1t is
sad story OF the sudden ending of .
romance in high life which only .
few weeks ago touched the bucolic
heart of this country. Alas!
