SOUTH STILL IN CONTROL
Recent Election Strengthened Parti.
san Domination in the House of
Representatives.

Those who have been congratulate
the elections, the South is no longer
in the saddle" have been just a lit
tie too optimistic. 1t is difficult to
see how the influence of the south
ern congressman will be decreased in
the next congress. With n or two
u%nimportant exceptions all of the
losses Democracy has sustained has
beer among the Democrats from New
England, the North and the West.
These three sections, therefore, de-
prived of their representation in the
ranks of the majority, will be more
than ever at the mercy of the men
from Dixie, whose control has been
strengthened, rather than weakened,
since, in a Democratic membership in
the Sixty-fourth congress much small
er than that in this congress, their
own numbers remain practically the
same. The inevitable result of this
will be that when the next house is
organized southern members, already
occupying nearly all the important
chairmanships, will fall heir to such
as will be surrendered by retiring
northern men, while in addition, the
membership of each committee re-
naming of the same strength, the
southern men will have to double
up" and serve on more committees
than is now the case. This will
strengthen the hold of the Southernert
On the machinery of congress. I'm
til the Democratic majority has been
wiped out entirely the South will re-
main in the saddle.

Ihe Walnut Stained BOY.

Don't censure the boy whose hands
are discolored with green walnut
stain, Any boy that will put in his
idle time after school hours pounding
green walnuts with a stout club. sepa-
rating the huh from its hidden treas
ure, deserves a word of praise and
a word of encouragement We've q
warm place in our heart for such a
boy. The green walnut is an unfailing
sign that he has ambition and energy
and that he has exercised these ster-
ling qualities by looking after No. /.
He may have stored walnuts for his
own use during the winter or he may
have sold them. 1t really doesn't mat
ter how he disposes OF them-the
strong point in his favor being that he
got then and has stained hands to
prove il. If in after years he tackles
life's tasks without fear Of getting his
hands soiled we'll wager he tastes Of
success.-Evansville Courier.

FISCAL SYSTEM TO BLAME
Falling Off of country's Revenues Can
not Be Attributed to the War
in Europe.

President Wilson, in his message
asking congress to vote a special tax,
pointed out that the falling off in rev.
enue during the month of August was
something between $40, 000, 900 and
81, 600, 900. There was such a fall
ing off, but was it due to the war or
was it a natural result of the Demo
cratic fiscal system? Congressman
Philip Campbell of Kansas seems to
have a sound argument on his side
when he points out that the presi-
dent referred only to the falling off
in our for the month of
August Of this year, after the war in
Europe began. If he had been dis
posed to give congress and the coun-
try all the information he had in his
possession he could have stated that
under the tariff bill passed by this
congress on the third day of October
last the revenues had been constantly
falling off. (Applause on the Repub-
lican side.) For the month of Jam
uary, 1914, the failure of revenues
amounted to $500, 044.26. For the
month of February the falling off in
revenue amounted to $9,995,512.13, al
most as much as in the month of Aug
ust, to which the president pointed
with so much alarm from this rostrum
a few days ago."-Collier's Weekly.

Natural Trade Revival.

The Democrats have had a feast of
sour grapes because they cut and
slashed the vines of American enter
prise savagely and ruthlessly by a de-
structive tariff measure. They are wit
Messing the reversal of sentiment in
their behalf because they have power
enough to force the American people
to be satisfied with crumbs instead of
enjoying the whole loaf. 1t is intoler-
able to have them seek to cover up
their chagrin by such pretexts as that
of Mr.. Bryan, which, coming from q
cabinet member, are most harmful.
Despite all that the discredited Demo
Gratis may say, the people r turning
to the Republicans for relief and will
receive it. Despite Mr.. Bryan and de-
spite the Democratic tariff there is a
tendency toward a revival of trade,
due to the vast volume of exports
caused by the war in Europe and the
stimulus to lines of manufacture that
has been created.

Labor Not Benefited.

The federal reserve law took &C.
count of the central bank plan of the
Republicans and embodied enough of
the features of the Republican pro-
gram to give elements of recommen-
dation to the measure, while permit
ting entirely 100 much of political
manipulation to enter into it. It Is an
experimental law for which all who
want the country to prosper wish well,
but which has vicious features that
have time and again been pointed out.
The federal trade commission law
and the Clayton law have been ana
lyzed by former President Taft in nom
partisan spirit and shown to be just
80 much Of additional statutes to the
general burden of law, without having
supplemented the Sherman law in any
advantageous way. AS for relief to
labor from Injunction and the like,
the Democrats have given labor a
stone when it asked for bread.

PUT BUSINESS FIRST
Administration Must Consider
Country's Needs.
Extravaganza of the Past Has to Be
Atoned For by the Democratic
Party-Wise Craftsmanship
Now Necessary.

The extravaganza of the long SEES
sion will not, of course, be repeated
by the short. Not only had the Demo
cratic party violated its platform
promises, but it had in some items pal
pably gone beyond the needs of the
government.
Something. however, was to be at
tributed to a lack of information on
the part of those voting the supplies.
They had been misled by a yarn that
the Republicans had been wasting
three hundred millions a year. 1t was
on the strength of that the promise
at Baltimore about economy had been
made.
When the Democrats took charge of
the purse they discovered both their
error and their duty. No such Repub-
lican waste had taken place, and hence
no such retrenchment as had been
promised could be made. They found
that large appropriations were neces-
sary, and made them. But in their in
experience they made them too large,
and soon found themselves swamped.
The only saving was forced by a Re
publican-Senator Burton-who, with
a long fork, took all the pork out of
the pork barrel.
But the Baltimore platform is no
longer seriously considered. 1t is now
only a smile-provoker. Even its au-
thors share in the general amusement.
The Democracy is advised today of
what the government needs, of what
1t should have, and of what the re-
sources are.
While the long session swelled ap-
preparations beyond all previous rec
ords, it would be a mistake for the
short session to reduce them to a star
walton size. That would not be econo-
my, but the reverse-not business, but
a mere political play. There should be
no pork-barrel features in any of the
supply bills, as, for that matter, there
never should be. 1t has not been neces-
sary for the war to teach us that. We
knew it before.
But our government is on a large
scale, and rapidly growing. and those
to whom it has been committed should
support it generously. The cheese
parer is not an economist, and some
times not a patriot, and his advice at
this time possesses far less than its
average small importance.

Land Holdings In Mexico.

It is said that land holdings today
are SO concentrated in Mexico that
1000 families hold practically all the
arabic land. If the distribution were
in proportion to that in the United
States, John Kenneth Turner has reck-
oned, there would be 100000 Mexi-
cans holding land instead of 1000. In

hold nine-tenths of the farming dis
trict. In chihuahua the Terrazas fam
lily held nearly twenty million acres.

REPUBLICAN Prospects for 1916.

The public appearance of a large
number of candidates for the next Re
publican presidential nomination is a
result of the election that is, perhaps.
inevitable. As a symptom and sign of
the confidence with which the party
looks forward to 1916 it is of interest
and importance. But as afording any
clue as to what the party is to do in
that year the claims Of today are OF
strictly negligible value.
This is not the time to select or
even to discuss the question of who is
to lead the Republican party in the
next presidential contest. The Repub
