The Journals Analysis
Was Correct.

Our esteemed contemporary. the
Tampa Times, takes occasion to say:
In another column of this page
there Is reproduced an article from
the Pensacola Journal under the head
line, Evidently Has Not Read the
Law" which, itself, gives evidence
that II the author Of the article him
self has read the Bryan primary law,
to which he refers, he does not under
stand 1t.
There is no profit of course in ar
guing a question of this kind. but for
the information of our distinguished
brother OF The Times we will say that
we have read the law very carefully
and The Journals analysis of the case
cited was correct in every respect.
The Times Is an ably edited news
paper. but 1T evidently does not know
how to figure election results under
the new law.

AS Country Grows
So Do Expenses.

Comment is being made in some
quarters upon the large appropria-
lions made and promised by congress
and the administration. The comment
might seem Just were not the ap-
preparations reasonable as we'll as
large.
The fiscal year will end the 30th
of June and reports are about COM
pleted. Secretary McAdoo estimates
the ordinary expenditures at, $780,
900, 900. but the total sum will likely
be much larger. The actual annual
appropriations cover many items not
cIassed under the term ordinary. The
ordinary appropriations in 1913
amounted to $500. 100000 and that
was a great increase over former
years.
Extravaganza IS contrary to demo-
Increase can hardly be set down to
that cause. Mainly, 1t Is attribute
BILE to the growth OF the country and
the unavoidable increase in expenses
When the congressional appropria-
lions first reached a billion dollars
Tom Reed answered the democratic
taunt OF undue wastfulness with the
declaration. This Is a billion dollar
country" That was twenty-five years
ago, and there has been a tremendous
growth Of the country since that time.
Probably one reason for the I'M
usually large expenditures during the
past year has been the continued
session Of congress, but against that
cen be set the splendid work Of
achievement that no congress before
has accomplished in so short a time.
President Wilson favors the adop-
fion in this country OF the budget

system in making appropriations, that
ments; he believes that it would pre-
vent the waste, graft and duplication
that cannot be we'll prevented under
the present loose plan. Something of
this kind must eventually be done.
When the president gets the impor
tant matters that have so far engaged
his attention off of hand he will like
ly press the matter on the attention
OF congress in his usually vigorous
way.
The largest item of expense to the
ton, that reaches 5000, 100000 and
was tremendously increased by the
last congress before President Will
son came into office. This is one
expense with which the democrats,
as a party cannot be charged, but it
will not be taken into consideration
in the indictment brought against
them.
While the charge of extravaganza
may be used as a campaign weapon, it
may cut two ways. Individual mem
bers may save themselves by appeals
to the people Of their districts on the
score of the benefit derived from the
appropriations.
Many Of the appropriations were
meritorious and can be we'll defend
ed. 1t is only the fact of increase
in bulk that may stall the taxpay-
ers and that will be used in the
campaign without any adequate ex-
animation into details, such as should
be made.

The Great Parks
of Chicago.

Chicago has the greatest park sys-
tenn, not only Of any city in America,
but Of any city in the world. Read
this description, from the Chicago
Journal. Of how the people use them:
On hot Sunday or holiday there
are half a million, people in the parks
of Chicago. not counting the other
myriads who go to the country or
across the lake.
Surely, no other city gives better
patronage to it's breathing spaces, nor
has parks which better deserve this
appreciation. The parks of Chicago
are In some ways unique. Landscape
gardeners come from all over the Uni
ted States-and some from Europe-to
study the artistic planting of one
great park on the west side. Not far
away liz another playground. with a
greenhouse unsurpassed this side OF
Frankfort. A superb museum adds
to the attractions of a park to the
south. and in the opposite direction
tons in the world. And there is al
ways the lake
In the location and management of
great open spaces, Chicago need not go
to school to any city, no matter how
old or famous. What our community
does need, however. is an increase in
the number Of small parks, located in
or near congested districts, and cater
ing to the open-air needs Of a popu-
lation which cannot afford to go to
and from the larger breathing places.
There is room for much progress
along this line.
What do you think of city with
more parks and better parks than any
other city in the world, talking about
the need Of still additional public re-
creation grounds?
But that is the spirit which has
made Chicago great and which Is go
ing to make her still greater
Chicago spends over two and one
half million dollars year on her
parks. This is about $3.50 per capita.
Pensacola spends about 80 cents per
capita per year. Chicago is a good
city for all OF US to study on the park
question.

numerous ice-falls and gaping Gre

four, the widow of an innkeeper. This
ancient dame has eight sons living,
six OF whom have served In either the
army or the navy. The rector wrote
informing King George of these things,
