DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY.

Golfers Weekly comments on
Democratic economy in it's national
aspect. The reader is reminded of
the ringing denunciation" Of the
Baltimore platform, which was as
follows:
We denounce the profigate waste
of the money wrung from the people
by oppressive taxation through the
lavish appropriations of recent Re-
publican congresses, which have
kept taxes high and reduced the pur
chasing power Of the peoples toll.
We demand return to that sim
plicity and economy which BELTS a
democratic government and a reduc-
ton in the number of useless Offices,
the salaries of which drain the sub
stance OF the people.
This was directed especially at
what was called the billion dollar
congress. The Republican con-
gress of 10000 had passed the
billion dollar mark, and that of
1909-1O had aggravated the offense
by about $32, 100000.
Then came the capture of the
house by the Democrats, followed
by their victory over a divided foe
in 1912. The record of Democratic
economy as illuminated by the an
nunl nnnrnnrin films ic DC fnllnu-r.

war-cloud, many citizens were anxiously ask ing what our army could do if called on to act in hurry.
 Over in England some years ago a gov ernment was turned out Of power merely be- cause it allowed the supply of ammunition to get low. In this country, one questions Wheth. CT single clerk would lose his job on that ac- count The public is not much concerned over military affairs. What it principally wants is to get army post located near by, where the soldiers will buy groceries and fod- der, and help boom.loeal trade.
 At the army posts life goes on sleepiIy enough Baby carts are a more familiar sight than gun carriages. The soldiers practice the art of war, when they aren't moving the lawns, repairing the walks or listening to the military band. A fine type of suburban vil- lage is built up, and graceful and refined social life exists But is it preparation for war?
 American citizens have reason for pride in the development Of the navy Where only three per cent of the shots. took effectsat San tiago, in recent practice as many as 45 per cent. have been hits. But the army life is less spectacular Efficiency here does not inter est the people so much, and they do not de- mand it so sfrenuously Bitter complaints are made by military students, that personal friendship and political considerations count too much in making promotions.

 Coach Vivian Nickails of the Uni-
 versity of Pennsylvania, in criticisms
 Coach Courtney's proposal for cutting the distance of the Poughkeepsie var s.ftv race in half, says: A varsity boat in the annuai race on the Hudson IS no place for a weaklings and one nev- CT is found there The type of ath- Iete who participates in that race is ideal. He is well able to stand the grind"
 Sure. There has been much pifne and poppycock written about inc deadly forrr-nile race Coach Nick alls misses the point in his reply to Courtney The veteran trainer of the Cornell oarsrnen, who has been in the rowing game for nearly half 9. cen- tury, has never alleged that the four mile race is dangerous to men who have been properly prepared for the long pull And Courtney is assuredly a. man who can prepare them His present stand is nothing new. He has never believed in the four-nile race, but several years ago he wrote in the Cornell Era:
 Although personally do not be- Iieve in a Iour-mile race, I am not in sympathy with the writers who talk l about the deadly fourth mile Any oarsrnan can be trained into condition
 to row four miles without injury to I his health.''
 Courtney's real objection and 1t is well founded, is that the necessary preparation for the four-miie race in l terferes seriously with the university work of the participants.

 The interesting discovery has been made, according to consular report from Algeria, of the adaptibi1ity of the oyster to change in it's surround inGs. The Inspector of Fisheries is the Arzew districts states that he found that as the result of the slow closing of the mouth Of the river La Macta by sand-bar the edible oyster had almost com pIete1y adapted itself to an existence in fresh water. Oysters were found thriving in parts Of the river entirely devoid Of salt
 It would seem from this, adds the Inspector, that the adaptibility Of the oyster to changes in it's surroundings provided this takes place slowly is very great Q fact that augurs well for the success of oyster farming.

He acquired a very exten- sive Knowledge of the situation during his term as Chief Secretary for Ire land. and he has had experience in the handling Of delicate political prob lezus, not the least of which was that arising over the split in the Unionist Party over tariff reform.

DEALERS S|NLARD
ACCUSED OF FRAUD

Discovery Of alleged fraudulent prac-
tees by number of Washington deal
ers in the sale of lard was reported
today by the District health depart
ment.
Out of 40 establishments investi-
gated, one in every seven was found
to be selling a substitute mixture as
lard and charging prices which the
pure product would bring, it is stated.
The cases have been brought to the
attention of the corporation counsel
and prosecutions are expected to
follow.
Food inspectors of the department
recently Investigated the sale of lard
in every section of the District. One
half pound samples of the product
were purchased at each of the Ito
stores visited.
These were chemically analyzed with
the result that sixteen. approximately
one out of every seven. were found not
to be lard, but mixture sometimes
described as compound lard" and
lard substitute"
The prices charged for eleven of the
sixteen adulterated articles, it is
stated, varied from IA to 16 cents a
pound. the price of Substitute lard"
openly sold as such in the market at
The profit made by the dealers from
WHOM the adulterated samples were
purchased was, therefore, it is esti-
mated, about cents a pound on every
pound alleged to have been Gaudently
sold.
