expenses Of a single soldier requires the
toll Of one civilian. Each civilian must
support the military to the extent OF
maintaing one soldier, say nothing Of
his obligations to the other departments
of government. Are we on the road to
this condition of affairs.
Must we continue Indifferent or should
we face about and demand an expurga-
ton oil the whole SYSTEM. The other
day Ex-senator 10 Blackburn, Of Ken
lucky, was appointed at the head OF the
Lincoln Memorial Commission at lib
eral salary, $1,000 year. What is the
commission? An expense. What is it
for? To perpetuate the name OF Lin
coin with expensive marble shafts, srchi-
lecture and sculpture. Whom does it
benefit? Nobody; but it pleases the
vanity OF few wealthy inhabitants who
drive by in their expensive cars. Is the
memory OF Washington, Lincoln, JET
ferson or any other great man worth
any more to the plain citizen with these
expensive shafts? The public buildings
in Washington City-the different De-
partments = are stuffed and crowded
with valueIess public documents. Some
Of the easements and upper rooms are
completely filed with these things and
other junk, which should be carted out
and sold to make needed room. And
yet Congress continues to appropriate
money for luxurious quarters -contln-
ues in its policy Of extravaganza with
the end in view OF making Pennsyl-
yania avenue sheet OF marble from
the Capitol to the White House,
stretch of sixteen blocks. And so ad
finitum ad libitum.
II it is the dream OF great men that
to make world power of this country
we should maintain an oriental magnif-
icence and splendor, they are surely fol-
lowing the course Of fallen empires.
Such things are created at the cost OF
the best manhood and patriotism and the
pauperism Of labor and peasantry. They
are irreconcilable with democracy.
President Wilson was elected as a
great reformer. But has he yet PEN
etrated the secret of our national ills?
Has he looked to the source OF these
things? Tariff and currency reform are
very good indeed, but why not take a
look at the flood gates Of extravaganza
and corruption. Why not summon the
Executive and Congressional forces to
stem the tide.
Currency reform is all right, but why
not divorce the banking system from
stock, cotton and grain gambling. Tariff
reform is all right, but why not husband
the. peoples resources. These are the
secrets OF American depravity. These
are the things that have swallowed de-
mocracy, and no President will ever
attain the undisputed title to states
manship who does not turn his atten-
ton to them.
This paper was one Of the first in the
country to support Governor Wilson for
President long before the Baltimore con-
vention, because he appeared as the Star
in the East to lead his people. And we
regret to say it, but the Wilson admins
tration has been to some extent disap-
pointment. The most forcible thing in
Senator LaFollette's lecture was the clos
ing prayer that God would let him live
to preach the Democracy of Christ after
his term in the Senate expires.
No wonder socialism is growing. No
wonder the lack of confidence in those
who are known as our leading men.
