House Democrats
To Slash Hobbies

The Democratic House has made a
New Year resolution to economize. and
at the outset will jump upon three
things near to the heart of the Presi-
dent. A big row is imminent in the
HOUSE when the minority learn that
the Democrats propose to cut of all ap.
proprfations for the tariff board, the
fresident's economy commission and
the PRESIDENTS travelling expenses.
1t 10 reliably reported that the sun
dry civil bill will not carry 5000 need.
ed Tor continuing the work of the tariff
board; the $4,000 needed to complete
the work OF the economy commission
investigating the business methods OF
the Government departments, and the
customary $4,000 annual appropriation
Tor the Presidents travelling expenses
The Democrats don't believe in q
tariff board. SO they have determined
the best way to- abolish 1t Is to refuse
money for Its maintenance. The Demo.
Gratis want to bring about reforms ir
the administration Of the Government,
departments, but they don't approve OF
the economy commission as a modus
operandi. Therefore, the economy com.
mission will die natural death.
Travelling expenses for the Presiden,
Is thing long opposed by the Demo
Gratis Of the House. Now that they are
In power. they may refuse to appro.

OF his own pocket.
These economies are bound to brins
about partisan debate in the House, for
the Republicans will point with alarm
to the fact that pork barrel" is con.
templated by the Democrats, that the
House Is spending thousands on investi.
eating committees and millions on pen
stons. yet 1t cannot allow $500. 900 f.,r a
tariff board and economy commission.

THE CENSUS APPROPRIATION
BOOMERANG.

Probably not even the clerks affect

Saccharine Ban Order
Extended Another Month

American manufacturers will be per-
mitted to use saccharine in their prod
ucts for another month. according to a
statement issued by Secretary Wilson.
OF the Department of Agriculture. The
time then may be extended again.
DR.. Wiley declared saccharne to be a
menace to health a year ago The manu-

GETTING BACK TO FIRST
PRINCIPLES.

The name of Roosevelt is to 60 on
the primary ballot in Nebraska.
The name of Bryan likewise is to
be put on.
Nebraska is the home of Bryan, and
of his personal hold and power there
can be no serious question.
Likewise, Nebraska is one of the
most loyal Roosevelt States in the
Middle Western group. It is, as to
both parties, distinctly a progressive
State. ..~,... ..-
If the names of both the traditional
party leaders remain before the people
and there seems every reason to an
ticipate this-Nebraska will send a
Roosevelt delegation to the Republi-
can and a Bryan delegation to the
Democratic convention.
So much for State that is typical
of the midWestern group. What is
true of its sentiment is just as true
of Iowa, the Dakotas, Minnesota, and
Kansas.
Now come thousand miles Fast,
and look at developing conditions in
Ohio. For long time the one strik-
ing feature of Buckeye Republican
conditions has been the cumulative
evidence that the State is not for
Taft.
The State organization demanded a
popular Presidential primary, and the
State chairman declared that Roosevelt
was certain to seize the delegates at
large in such a test.
We learn that John j. Lentz and
various leaders of radical Democracy
are organizing for fight against Gov
ernor Harmon. They think he is toe
conservative; he is too much the Wall
Street candidate.
So Ohio presents a parallel to Ne,
braska. In both, the swing of things
is inevitably carrying them back to,
ward Roosevelt and Bryan.
These are the two men swho made
and popularized the issues now com.
manding public attention. They are
the respective leaders of progressive
thought in the two parties. The two
thirds rule makes it certain that nc
Democrat unsatisfactory to Bryan car
be named. The psychology of the
times makes it increasingly probable
with every passing day, that no Other
Democrat than Mr.. Bryan himself
WILL be nominated.
1t looks like Bryan and Roosevelt
for national leaders next year. 1t will
look more so a month hence.

Pleads for Help for
Episcopal College

A countrywide campaign among Epis-
copal churches of the country to raise
a half-million-dollar endowment fund
for st. Stephens College. AnnandaIe,
N. Y, today was inaugurated here
when the Rev. William C. Rodgers,
president Of the college. presented his
cause to the congregation of the
Church OF the Ascension. s-
Pointing out that St. Stephens is
only one of two Episcopal colleges in
the country, and declaring that the de-
mand for tuition already exceeded the
accommodations at both colleges, the
speaker urged the church to meet this
nels.

after advent into, world which sh,
has already begun to captivate. e,
What pretty story spoiled for a
detail! II is true that there wai
sometime ago reported from Topeka
an infant born with full set of teeth
snrmounting an incipient growth OF
chin whiskers, who at once commenced
to vociferate "Four years Of drought
in Kansas" But what is credible in
Kansas is not to be believed when
credited to Virginia. Virgins of the
Old Dominion, hospital bred or other
wise, have far too much regard for
tradition and good taste to hasten
themselves either in the matter of put
ting up their hair, lowering their
dresses, or growing their teeth. Teeth
for an infant are not exactly impos-
sible, but immodest, before at least
FOUR months. It is evident that the
young man who covered this assign
ment is yet lacking for "eye" molars,
to say nothing of those worries on the
rear seats whose excuse is wisdom"
and whose presence is the salvation Of
the dentists.
The next time our Richmond con-
temporary desires to play the soft
pedal on pink and white chcrub, it
should choose for the service some
grandpa from its reporters who is wise
to the fact that failure to locate his
bed room slippers means the inevitable
accumulation of the needle which his
wife has lost. I

The Rev. DR.. O'ConnelI. of Howard

Naval AviatOrs to
. Go to California

Following the plan Of the War De-
partment. whereby the army aviators
were sent South for the winter. the
Navy Department expects to send the
navy aviators at Annapolis to North
Island, San Diego. Cal, where they will
carry On experiments this winter.
Arrangements are being made at San
Diego for the school to be located on
North Island. Two flying machines will.
be shipped to the California coast, one
a Curtiss hydro-aeroplane and the other
Wright biplane. They will be ope-
rated by Lieuts. T. G. Ellyson. John
Rodgers, and ]. H. Towers.
1t is probable that the navy fiiers will
leave for California tomorrow or Tues
day, and will remain on the Pacific
coast until about the first or middle OF
April.

nomical will be forgotten in the wonder
that Il has found the courage to make
a cut anywhere. 1t says in these bills
so to speak, Pater Noster to palliate
extravaganza in other directions.
For these reasons the census cut has
it's amusing side, even to the philo-
sophical among the employees who have
been dismissed. The sensitive nerve OF
patronage has. been exposed. In hun
dreds of districts there are murmur-
ings and wrath. AN through the body
polite to which the connection with
the Government Is visualized by a job
there runs quiver of resentment. Con-
gress Is hearing from the country
In the most tangible and apparent
manner possible. To the remotest cor.
ners Of the nation fly the tragic stories
of the census clerks separated from
their desks, and back to Washington
come the panied inquiries that SO re-
semble an angry growl. Having done
it, what is Congress going to do about
it?
The trouble in this case probably
arose from the assumption that present
practice was related to past habit in
the departments. Director Durand
asked for 100000; Congress gave
him $5OO,OOO, and waited to see
him reconcile the appropriation
with the request. In former days
there would have been no dis
missals, because in former days
departments asked for appropria.
tions as Baxter Street names
an initial price-expecting to "come
down." But this time, it is evident
that the demand was nicely adjusted
to the need. The million was needed.
When it was not Forthcoming, some
one and something had to suffer. When
the blow fell upon the clerks, who are
in many instances the coin with which
members of Congress pay their debts,
the boomerang returned upon the
thrower with distinct and sickening
thud.
Whatever Congress may or may not
do about the census appropriation the
incident may have twofold value if
it shall serve to illustrate the reality
of Mr.. Taft's determination to put the
on a basis of business
economy, and if it shall indicate to
Congress the danger of making bust
ness organization the plaything of
party politics.
