Economy That Does Not ECOnO-
miZe.

The idea of economy IN public
expenditures upon the part OF same
Individuals, especially those who
occupy a soft position with a large
salary attached, is certainly anus
ing, if it is not provoking to those
who believe in real, genuine econo-
my. A bill has been introduced IN
congress to appropriate the sum OF
So so 900 for continuing the work
of the commission on economy and
efficiency to the writer's view IS
mighty expensive economy, in pro-
viding roosting places for five dis
credited politicians at $4,000 a
year each for five years for doing
absolutely nothing of value for the
people. And in this connection,
the writer will be pardoned for say
ing, that should two-thirds of the
commissions both at Washington
and Madison be abolished, it would
be a saving of hundreds of thous-
ands Of dollars annually to the
overtaxed taxpayers.

Installation OF Officers.

The installation of officers of 0. D.
Pease Post No. 81 @. A. r. took place
in the Post hall Friday evening. The
installing officer was Fred Kusel and he
delivered brief address to the comrades
in which he paid a compliment for the
good attendance and also for the good
standing of the Post in the department.
There are now, he said, only 81 members
out of total of 103 a few years ago and
that is the more reason why the remain
ing ones should stand together until the
last roll call is sounded. The officers
installed were as follows.
COmmander-John Habhegger.
Senior Vice Commander John Robin
son.
Junior Vice Commander Henry Bas-
singer.
djutant-Charles j. Wenck.

Japanese Drama Lecture.

This drama lecture is designed to full
fill two things: to interest and educate;
to educate under the cloak Of pure pleas
are. Its purpose is TO give an actual
piece Of Jap life here in WatertOWn,
Just those things which you would see
if you visited Japan, you will see on the
stage at ST. Henry's hall on Thursday,
January 23rd. 1t will be more fascinat-
ing than Movies" can be. 1t will be
more than life-like-it will be real life.
Nearly 80 are in the cast, and will pre-
sent an entertainment which has never
been duplicated in the city. 1t Will be
great opportunity for the young people
of our schools to see in play the actual
conditions obtaining in Japan. 1t is
doubtful whether such an opportunity
will ever again be offered Tickets 35

of the slightest use to the United
States and hundreds Of millions of
dollars have already been-you
might say-dropped into the sea
by the government, in an effort to
make them a paying investment.
And | have no doubt that many
millions more viii be spent futilely
in the same manner.
And who is the man to blame
for this monumental hasco of paw
ing $40, 900, 900 for an absolutely
worthless collection of islands with
an absolutely slothful people on
whom to draw for these dividends?
Your Mr.. Roosevelt. The man
who attempted, when received with
all the cordiality that the British
nation could offer such a, disting-
uished guest, TO tell the British,
people that they had no right to
own colonies, because they knew
not how to govern them.
Should this country ever have
any trouble in the Orient, it will be
because of the Philippine islands.
The holding Of the same is con-
trary to the spirit of our Declera-
ton of Independence and the soon
er we get rid of them honorably,
the better it will be for this coun-
try and our national treasury.

A Worthless Draft.

On the 18th day Of December, 1912, a
man the name Of G. H. Tanning drew

endorse, through the Bank Of WatertOwD
Oh the. Fairbanks Manufacturing Co. Of

tanning money frandulently and placed
in the hands Of local officer who enlisted

A Bishop Played Roosevelt.

Bishop Warren A. Gambler Of
the Southern Methodist church IN
a sermon at Atlanta denounce
Theodore Roosevelt and his follow
ers as inhamatory agitators who,
although in a pronounced minority
and unworthy of an respectable fol-
lowing have power to pull down
without ability to build up any
worthy religious, political or social
institution. He said in part:
The time has come for the con-
sentative people of all classes to
put an end to the dangerous antics
of certain parties who having taken
leave of both sober reason and con-
science, seek to draw unstable
minds after them to the injury of
themselves and everybody else.
There is no use mincing words. A
bank of thieves using the ballot for
ends of injustice of the jury box
for the purpose of spoilation is no
better morally than a band of bur
glars with their jinmies and ex-
plosives, and yet this kind of thing
has been encouraged among us in
the name of the rights of the poor
and common people. +"

Wilson Speaks.

Some of the republican papers
in speaking of the speech delivered
by President-Elect Wilson in Chi
cago Friday, characterize it as be-
ing academic, because, we pre-
sumo, that it was clean, despas-
sionate and free from the usual
rant Of self-seeking politicians.
There was truth in what he said
relative to the conditions existing
IN this country at the present time.
by which, the poor are exploited
by the combination of wealth to the
detriment and loss of the laboring
and producing classes. When it
is considered, that one per cent Of
the population in tbs United States
control about ninety-nine per cent
of its wealth secured by legalized
robbery, it is encouraging to have
the president-elect declare that
there must be change in the bust
ness methods now in operation by
which large fortunes are accumu-
lated by the few at the expense of
the great majority of the people by
monopolies, combines and the man
ipulation of the markets.

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY

The ruction at Madison between
Gov. McGovern and Insurance
Commissioner Ekern is a sort Of a
progressive Killarney cat fight.
Ekern showed a wonderful lack of
tact and gratitude, which is a po-
litical disease with progressives,
and McGovern exhibited a spirit of
spite beneath the dignity of a chief
executive of 2 state. The rumpus,
however, is really between McGov-
ern and LaFollette and the COVER
nor himself has shown ingratitude
toward the man who made it pos
slble for him to occupy the position
he does. The trouble is, that Nc
Govern and Ekern are terribly
troubled with an enlargement of
the Uranium and have ceased to
recognize themselves simply as
servants OF the people. On the
whole, the people generally in the
state, the writer opines, will be in
sympathy with LaFollette, who
foolishly gave his best efforts last
fall toward the election of the gov
ernor, even after he had BETRAYED
him as a delegate in the Republi-
can national convention.

farce; travesty on charity. No
wonder there is a great social IN
rest in this country and the future
looks OMNIBUS for our peace and
happiness. 1t IS high time for a
readjustment of conditions 70 give
the poor chance without charity.
Our sympathy goes OUT to Sena-
tor Jonathan Bourne Of Oregon.
For years be has, howled loud and
long for what he thought progress
sive ideas, among them election Of
United States senators by popular
vote. Four years ago, Governor
Chamberlain, a democrat and a
very good man, received the popu-
lar majority and a republican legis-
lature sent bin to the senate. Last
fall, DR.. Harry Lane, a democrat,
received the popular majority and
the legislature, although over
whelmingly republican will send
him to the senate and Senator
Bourne can go way back and sit
down, scratch his chin and medi-
tate as to the beauties cf progress
siveness.
