GOVERNMENTS
RELIEF TRANS To In
UNDATED LOCALITIES.

Washington, D. c., April "a.
I-(spe Notwithstanding
the awfulness of the Titanic disas-
wherein nearly t W 0 thousand
lives were blotted out amid the
ice flows off Cape Race, the heart
of the Nation is rent with sor-
row and pity for the lives lost
and in peril through the floods
in the Mississippi valley. Al
most simultaneously with the
news of the THAMES frighrful
end came the dread intelligence
that the Mississippi, g b e r
than ever before in the history
of the Weather Bureau, was still
rising and that thousands of
lives were in imminent peril.
The government, t through
messages of the President and
the pleas of the Secretary of
War, has been rushing relief
trains to the inundated localities,
supplying food, and shelter to
the homeless and aiding, where
ever possible, in strengthening
the Ievees along the course Of
the mighty river.
Senator-elect Joseph E. Rams
dell of Louisiana, President of
the National Rivers and Harbors
Congress, whose home is in the
food-covered district, near the
Arkansas line, has, for the past
two weeks, been on the scene
of the inundation and has kept
the authorities in Washington
advised as to the necessities of
the situation. 1t is expected
that just as soon as possible Mr..

It is an interesting side-light
on the Dick-Henry patent case
recently decided in the Supreme
in favor of the patentee,
that he has the right to safe
his patent to the extent
of stipulating what material or
essential shall be used IN
making his patent useful and
perfect, to know that the British
patent law was the outgrowth OF
a contest against monopolles
which, in many of its features,
resembles the contest going on
to-day. It is the customary
statement that Parliament is en-
titled to all the credit for having
won trade liberty for English
speaking people. In a sense this
is true, but curiously enough it
was Parliament which originally
was itself the representative of
monopolies because IT'S members
were largely recruited from the
great town Guilds, that is the
great trade Guilds of England.

AN EXCELLENT SHOW.

Campbell Bros circus, which exhib-
tied here last Friday, gave excellent
satisfaction, everyone being well
pleased with the show. There were
really so many good features that We
shall not attempt TO particularize All
the performers are artists in their
line, and there are many thrilling and
daring acts. The performing ele-
plants, eight in number, did some
very fine ring work. The menagerie
is not large, but the collection is an
interesting and valuable one, and the
animals are in good condition. Three
baby tigers six weeks old attracted
considerable attention; also den of
California seals and black California
ostrich. There are eleven elephants
and herd of eight camels with the
show.

him at Chicago he win represent q
minority Of such respectable proper
lions that the victors will find It very
necessary to consult this minority,
just as the democrats in all conven-
lions since 1896 have been compelled
to consult Bryan and his followers.
Ohio democrats are becoming con-
cerned over the opposition to Gov
ernor Harmon recently declared by
Mayor Newton d. Baker of Cleveland.
Mr.. Baker was the chief lieutenant of
Mayor Tom L. Johnson and has sue
ceeded Johnson as leader Of the
Cuyahoga county democrats. At the
Dayton convention which nominated
Governor Harmon again in 1910, Mr..
Baker led the fight inaugurated by
William j. Bryan to force the conven-
ton to name the candidate for United
States senator. Governor Harmon and
his friends defeated Baker in the con-
vention by vote of over three to one.
Since then, though, Baker has become
mayor of Cleveland and has become
much more powerful.

Written for The Bryan Eagle.]
Was ever a night SO darksome,
So fraught with portent gloom?
The reluctant stars moved slowly,
Above the rock-hewn tomb;
Above the tomb Of Joseph,
Where the cruclfied lay dead,
For the hope Of men had vanished,
And the faith of men had fed.
Was ever a morn so Joyous,
Since time began his fight,
When the stars grew dim DER Moab,
At the coming of the light?
For the Angel of Death was van
pushed,
And hope returned again,
The sepulcher was empty,
Gods greatest gift to men.

TAFT A FINAkCIER

The aggregate of public expenditure
increased steadily for several years un-
der Mr.. Roosevelt. During the last
year of his administration the total of
the current operating expenses had
attained the unprecedented figure OF
$685., 1924, 444, and during that year there
was deficit of SOS, 100000. Thus, by
ignoring opportunities for etiecting
economies and introducing efficiency
President Roosevelt had permitted "A
surplus of 500, 900, 900 in 1902 TO become
a deficit of SOS, 900, 600 in 1909, and dur
ing that period of seven years the ordi-
nary expenses of government had in
creased $l9l, 900, 900, or 40 per cent
Hence the increase in the cost of con-
Quoting the ordinary governmental,
operations during the Roosevelt regime
was almost 6 per cent annually; it was
per cent during the preceding period
of ten years; and approximately per
cent year during the decade of 1922.
Mr.. Taft might have looked with
complacency upon this phase of COVER
mental operations and defended an
annual increase in disbursements of
or . per cent by pointing TO the practice
of the past twenty years. But he chose
10 dedicate himself TO the task of setting
a great business house in order, so that
instead of increasing the burden of ex-
penditures S35, 100000 year during
each of three years, Presidant Taft's
administration has reduced the ordi-
nary disbursements from 1862, 600, 600 to
$654, 900, 600 year, and the deficit OF
sos, 100000 for the last year of the
Roosevelt administration, has been
turned into a surplus of $50, 100000 in
the last year of the Taft administration
