Extravaganza at Washington.

The Journal has frequently called
attention to the reckless expenditure
of public funds at Washington, there.
by mourning criticism from friends OF
the recent and present administra.
tons, who denied the charges of ex'
travagance.
What have these %apologists to offer
in the face of the direct charge by
Senator Aldrich that one dollar out OF
every three appropriated by congress
is simply thrown away?
The American people are pardon
ably suspicious of the Aldrich com
mission plan of economizing. They
cannot believe that any good thing for
the poor man could emanate from the
Aldrich mind. And it Is woefully ap.
parent that existing abuses exist, not
because congress is ignorant, but be-
cause congress does not a to cor
rect them.
Perhaps a little less legal talent and
a little more business ability in cab.
met Offices might help solve the prob

NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT

My little son, a boy of five, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try a certain medical college,
but its treatment did no good. At
the time I was induced to try Cuti-
cura he was so bad that I had to cut
his hair off and put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on him on bandages, as it was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
of skin on his whole body that was
not affected. He was n mass Of
sores. The bandages used to stick to
his skin and in removing them it used
to take the skin off with them, and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreaking. began to think that
he would never get well, but after the
second application of Cuticura Oint.
ment 1 began to see signs of improve
ment, and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced to
dry up. His skin peeled off twenty
times, but it finally yielded to the
treatment. Now I can say that he is
entirely cured, and a stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he
is to-day, twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam,

Tariff Conditions.

The consumer who gets nothing out
of the tariff but the privilege of pay
ing the duty when be buys food and
clothing is in the vast majority; II
there is one article which is costing
him any less than it did prior to the
enactment of the present tariff, he has
not yet been able to discover it.
The presidents defense of a tariff
which has brought this consumer re-
lief in no visible or material direc-
ton, is not going to appeal to him
very strongly.
Truth is the beneficiaries Of what
downward revision there is in the
new bill are large manufacturers and
importers in certain lines and not the

his salary every week and then
stretch it with a block and tackle In
order to make it cover the cost OF his

HINDUs ALARMED AND AsTIR
Spread Of Christianity Threatens
Whole Structure Of Hinduism
With Overthrow.

Hinduism is awakening to the fact
that II the great sub-strata OF Hindu
society known as the depressed classes
be raised by Christianity, the whole
structure Of Hinduism Is threatened
with overthrow. This awakening Is
being followed by efforts in various
parts for the improvement Of these
poor people. The latest Is a move
ment in Ahmedabad. In that city, on
August 20, a meeting was held at
which the attendance of the depressed
classes was encouraged and in which
they we're allowed to sit beside caste
people. Resolutions were passed for
the formation Of a Central Hindu asso-
citation. which should have for its OBJ
iects the raising of the depressed
classes and their readmission into
Hinduism after being converts to for
eign faiths. AS to the NEAR to be
adopted for realizing these objects,
the following suggestions were made:
(a) Starting schools, clubs and asso-
Citations; (b) establishing preaching
missions; (c) publishing papers,
periodicals., magazines and leaflets;
(d) adopting such other means as may
be conducive to the above objects.

Taft a Disappointment.

President Taft disappointed the peo-
pie when he inaugurated his swing
around the Union with a eulogy of
Senator Aldrich. He increased that
feeling of disappointment when he
lauded the A~ldrich-Payne tariff bill
and declared it to be a fulfillment of
the Republican party's pledge for an
honest revision of the tariff. He was
unfortunate in his selection of Bal.
linger for the cabinet. He made, we
believe, a tactical mistake in announc.
ing a heterogeneous program of legis-
lation, the greater part Of which has
been forgotten, and in minimizing the

ed, Warning" which charitably de

"strayed," and added:

upon for scientific purposes with

A Common Trick.

Secretary Ballinger wrote the presi'
dent-as was brought out in the hear
ing yesterday-that the mind Of his
predecessor, Secretary Garfield, must
have been poisoned by missstate'
ments, to induce him to criticise the
policies of the interior department. A
few days before Mr.. Vertrees, counsel
for Mr.. Ballinger, had offered this ex'
PLANTATION Of Mr.. Pinchot's attitude to
the committee:
Il wish to show, If l can, so far from
his testimony being prompted by the
patriotic purposes that prompt men to
do that which Is for the good of the
country, in a very large measure 1T is
due to the disappointment and resent
ment which comes in the bosom of a
discharged public servant"

good against powerful special inter.

CRAZE FOR BIG WaRsHIPs
Open Question Whether They DO Not
Represent a Foolish Expenditure
Of the Peoples Money.

A few years ago 1t was thought that
the United States navy had reached
its limit in the 16, 000-ton battleship.
Last month the 20, 000-ton ~battleship
Delaware was delivered to the gov
eminent and in a few weeks its sister
ship, the North Dakota, will be ready.
Contracts have been awarded for the
Arkansas AID Wyoming. each Of $4,000
tons. Now Secretary Meyer proposes
that next year congress authorize a
3 2 ,000-ton battleship, to be the largest
In existence. The estimated cost will
be about $18, 600, 900, as compared
with IS, 5000, 900 for the 10000 ton flag
ship Connecticut.
When the British government built
the original Dreadnaught it not only
rendered obsolete a large fleet of its
own battleships but it started the
other nations Of Europe in a mad race
of naval construction that threatens
to bankrupt them. The first effect OF
the building of a 80, 000-ton battleship
by the United States will be to render
the greater part Of the existing battle
ship feet out of date and to destroy
it's homogenity, which naval experts
have argued is an essential for sue
cessful operation. Many harbors will
be closed to so large a vessel and
naval dry docks must be enlarged or
new ones provided to receive it. At
the same time while the cost of the
new standard battleship Increases
rapidly with its size and armament.
the navy department shows no dispo-
sition to moderate its demands as to
the member Of new battleships to be
laid down each year.
The whole Dreadnaught policy,
Eve since Great Britain first adopted
it, worked harm wherever tried. 1t
has led constantly to fresh excuses
of militarism. burdensome taxation
and bloated ornaments that in them
selves are a menace to the peace OF
the world.
