FORGET STATUE AT SARATOGA
Monument Erected Years Ago on Fa-
nous Revolutionary Battle Ground
Overlooked for Years.

New York-Years ago, at the time
when the revolutionary centennial fer
vor had taken a strong hold upon the
country, a monument was erected en-
the Saratoga battlefield. No sooner
was it completed than it was practical
ly forgotten. Recently came the graft
flying revival of interest in historic
objects, stimulated by patriotic socie-
ties. Also, there came the trolley and
the automobile. both of which served
to make the Saratoga battle monu-
ment and the historic ground surround
ing it more accessible. People were
shocked to find the monument in a sad
state Of repair. It had become not
merely a monument commemorative
of great battle-the only one fought
on the soil of the United States that
Greasy deemed worthy of place in
his list of the worlds decisive battles
but a monument of public indiffer-
ence and neglect. This monument has
now been repaired and to some extent
remodeled. 1t has even been dedi-
Gated, a step which the original build
ers evidently forgot all about.
The monument is admitted to be the
finest of it's kind in the world. 1t is
q tall hollow shaft, at the base of
which are four inches. Three of them
contain statues of Gates, Morgan and
Schuyler, three of the four generals
who fought in the battle. The fourth
niche, empty as England's rewards,
void as his own life, speaks more elo-
quently than words, more strongly
than condemnation, more pitifully
than tears, of a mighty career blasted

CONGRESS AND THE PORK BARREL

The third session of the Sixty-third Congress,
started at to-day, will probably run the full
period until March s. when it must end automat-
ically. The members of the Senate and House III
that time will put through the appropriation bills,
but it is likely also that there will be action on
other important proposed legislation, including the
Shipping Bill and the Philippines Bill which Presi
dent Wilson wishes to have disposed of.
In view of the fact that the appropriation bills
are TO be acted upon the present session of Congress
will be one by which, in large measure, the degree
of sincerity of the Democratic pledges for econo-
mics made in the campaign which elected PreSl-
dent Wilson will be measured. There is no doubt
of the honest desire of President Wilson to keep
down the size of the appropriations 1t may be
expected, however that some of the lawmakers
viii not be so eager to keep the lid on the pork
barrel. and lively struggle on the question of
the size of appropriations is to be looked for.
The Democrats in the House and the Senate will
be wise not to become reckless in the expenditure
CT the nation funds. This session will go long
way toward proving how sincere the Democrats
were in their promises to effect economies and in
that way may have important bearing on the sue
cess of Democratic members of Congress when
they seek reelection.
The Lawmakers in Washington should bear in
mind that while the heavy war tax burden that
has been imposed on the people is very necessary
in view of the reduced revenues resulting from
the struggle in Europe.-over which, of course
this nation has no control-at the same time this
hard burden for the country TO bear. 1t, there
fore, behooves the Congress to conserve the reve-
nues thus obtained to utmost possible extent

sary the recounting Of events by individuals
through correspondence; how the art of conversa-
tion has been the ebb because of the many other
ways of passing time in social gatherings which
have of late years been adopted, and how likewise
the reading of good books is declining with the
increase in popularity of various other forms of
amusement.
BY good books this writer means works
which. though not necessarily lacking in the quail
ties which entertain, instructive in character
He refers to books on philosophy, theology, science
and history.
Works of this sort were really popular half a
century and century ago. From various sources
we learn that young people in the bygone days
perused with zeal the deep and serious literature
of the time If comparison is then made with the
present day, the conclusion is inevitable that there
is decided decline in the reading of such books.
When 1t comes to present day fiction, however.
the decline in reading cannot be quite so much of a
certainty Novels together with short stories have
taken hold on men and women, young and old,
and the increasing popularity of the magazines is
proof, not of the peoples interest in books of
course but of their earnest appreciation of fiction
their love for reading regardless of cloth backs-
Yet the persons who deplore the decline in the
perusing of good books, also depreeate the lively
interest in fiction, so perhaps they have right to
be somewhat pessimistic.

The Yale Bowl and the Punch

Not the least interesting subject of
discussion at the recent Harvard ale
football contest in the new "bowl" at
New Haven was the bowl itself. This
tremendous arena was used for the first
time. 1t seats 10000 persons and ev-
cry seat was taken. but even at that
many thousands of persons who applied
for seats had TO be disappointed. Yale,
it will be recalled, was badly beaten
in that first game in the new bowl, the
Crimson team running up score great
er than was ever before made against
the Blue. In this connection Yale
alumnus from Harrisburg who attended
the game tells of having remarked to
a group of his friends who were for
Harvard as they were leaving the
scene of the contest that the bowl Ger
tainly was wonderful place for stag
ing big football match. To this one
of his witty Harvard friends replied:
eyes, Yale has got the bowl all
right, But Harvard has the punch this
year. :"

The best use to which the lighter and more anus

the serious side in recent months to be entitled to
the stimuant of little of the merrment that the
