Republican Extravaganza anc
Democratic Economy.

On June 10, 1910, the Hon. JOIN
J. FITZGERALD. the present chairman OF
the House Committee ON Appropria-
uons, said in the House in speech
which was circulated as Democratic
campaign document;
Controlling both houses by substantial
matorities. the responsibility for the APP
propriations belongs TO the Republicans
Try as they may, they cannot be other
lhan 'wastcfu eXtravagant, Inefficient
There can be no hope for any
reductions from the Republican party
The best interests Of the country and the
people demand Democratic House, In
10 other way can expenditures be brought
back to their normal level, taxes levied
aid collected for the sole purpose OF de-
rraying the legitimate expenses Of tn,
Government economically administered"
Well, the Democrats have not only
the House but the senate and the Ex-
tcutive. On September 12, 1911, Mr..
FIrzGERAID admitted in the House that
tho appropriations of the present ses
eion, 81 ,Os9. .40s, ,777 o6, are the highest
vet reached, n leap Of nearly $4,000
900 over the skyscraping figures OF
last year.
The voters Of the United States
pinched worse than ever by the cost ji
living and the disturbance OF business
themselves compelled to economy. So,
their Government more wildly waste
f,l than ever before.

Spare the Public Schools.

Tho philanthropic promoters Of a
scheme to send from this country q
consignment OF Christmas presents to
children In the European war zone have
fixed their eyes on the public schools
as offering attractive stations for the
solicitation of gifts. They argue that
It would be appropriate for our chill
dren TO contribute and convenient to
urge them To generosity in their class
and assembly rooms.
1t is To be hoped that the Board Of
Education will withhold It's sanction
schools should not be tolerated, much
less encouraged. II was bad when II
took the form of subscriptions to pres
ens for teachers, and worse when the
prepostcrous battieship American Boy
was proposed. The educational au-
thorlies have frowned on such under
takings for years, and they should be
sustained now In resisting this pictur.
esque appeal.
Were II necessary TO produce agains,
the plan arguments IN addition 10
those supplied by the comfort and well
being Of the children. to find them
would not be difficult. The high desir-
ability of excluding from the schools
those discussions OF the war which
must enforce on large number of the
juvenile population the SORROWS and
bereavemcnts suffered by their kins
men across the sea is obvious; and the
duty OF all public functionaries to dis
countennnce any net that might lead
to the arousing OF passions Is plain.

The Literary Mission From England.

To the EplroR or TIVE SUN--Str: ]
read with great interest the cable from
London stating that "A delegation including
!. ". Barrie and \. T.. W. Mason sailed
for this country on the Lusitania TO
advocate In the United States the British
point of view regarding the war"
As a native born American, with no
German affiliations. every male member
Of whose family has fought for the United
states. wish to protest most emphau-
caly against this propaganda.
As the United States has declared her
neutrality and the President has re-
quested all OF us to refrain from taking
sides Il seems TO me that this expedition
is in very poor taste to say the least.
The cables to Germany are cut, those
to Great Britain are open. and there Is
already ample opportunity to present the
British side OF tho case. If this propa-
ganda Is allowed why should not France
Russia, Germany, Austria, Servia, SC,
send similar expeditions? Where IL II
going TO end Are the days OF the Citi-
zen Genet agitation to return?

4 Revenue Suggestion.

To THE EDITOR or THE SuN-Sir: II
the Government wants an equal revenue
tax so that every one pays his share or II.
why doesn't it raise the postage rate on

would not cost the Government anything

A lawyer tells this story: A couple
came to him to get him to draw ur
the papers for a divorce which they
had agreed upon. The wife was to
apply for the divorce and the man was
to make no contest. The wife was a
large, rawboned woman who stood
nearly six feet high and weighed
about 100 pounds. The husband was
"a meek looking whiffet of man who
stood about five feet and weighed
about ITO pounds. "Well," said the
lawyer as he got ready to draw the
petition, what are your grounds for
divorces" To his surprise the wo-
man, after little hesitation, answer
ed, Extreme cruelty" "Why, mad
am" said the lawyer, "you don't mean
to say that this little man has been
tyrannical and cruel to you. You
could turn him across your knee and
not half try" THAT'S all right, Mr..
Lawyer" said the husband, "I've
agreed to let her have an extra thou
sand in alimony if she will put that in.

Quite frequently you notice in the
papers mention of the fact that some
person has lost political job--some
Republican has been displaced by a
Democrat. What is there wrong
about it? Aren't the Democrats in
control of the machinery? When the
Republicans were running things
didn't they give all the jobs to mem
bers of that party? How long will
these Democrats who are now getting
the jobs hold on after the Republican
party sweeps back into power? Not
longer than it takes to pry them loose.
That's the game of politics-to the |
victor belongs the spoils. 1t always
has been the case and always will be,
as long as battles for supremacy are
fought at the polls. The Office holder
who gets the idea into his head that
the other fellows are going to allow
him to stay on the pay roll after his
party loses out has another guess
coming, That's why a political job
is worth only about half as much as
job out of the realm of politics.
The man who stays by his party is
the one who should be rewarded. If
he has been consistent Democrat he e
is entitled TO piece of pie when the /
battle has been won and the dessert I
is being passed Same way with the '
faithful Republican. There are fell n
lows who remain Republicans when
they can't be anything else, The mo-
ment 'new movement" starts out
from the Republican party they join
it. Then when the movement" gives
up the ghost they come back to the
Republican party and in year or two
are asking for Office at the hands of
that party.
There is nothing wrong in a man
changing his political faith. There
are two reasons for changing: To OBJ
tain office and from conviction. The
man who changes because he is hon
estly convinced that his old party is
wrong is TO be commended. The fell
low who changes because he has an
dea he can land an office is not to be
patted on the back quite 50 literally.
The latter class change too ALFRED
'ften. They seldom stay changed
'ver night. But flesh is weak and
When the baeill politicus gets to run
ing riot in the blood the flesh gets
till weaker. There is nothing on
ecord to show that a man of one
articular political faith makes any
etter official than the fellow Of an
ther party. Men nave lost their jobs
nd there has been great indigna-
on," but the flag still waved and
ne country moved along in the even
.nor Of it's way. Such will continue
, be the case.
