Woman and child in the land.
The Average American family
numbers five persons, so the av-
erage family contributes at least
$50 per year for the maintenance
of federal power.
And the total is increasing
from year to year at rate which
is altogether out of proportion
to the increase in population.
Twenty four years ago Car"
Reed and a Republican Congress
were swept from power because
of the eXtravagant expenditures
they had authorized. That was
in 1890 and Uncle Sans expen-
ditures for that year amounted
10 only $500, 70S, TAI.
Just eight years before that,
in 1856, with Grover Cleveland
in the White House, and dem
ocratic Congress in the Capitol,
the country worried along on APP
preparations which totaled 1881,
0l5. 40l.. OF this sum more than
Sll, 600, 600 represents payments
on Scco int of the national debt.
Thus in twenty eight years,
the annual cost of running Uncle
Sans big machine has increased
about 500. 600, 600 or about 200
percent, Incidentally we have
abandoned all attempts to pay
off the national debt. We are
too busy spending money to think
of schemes to save it.
What has caused this increase
in expenditure and where will it
end?
1t would require a prophet to
answer the latter part of that
query and ! am not In that bust
ness. The first Part is caser.

A little town over in Michigan
was asked to donate 81, 000 in Or

was ushered in by the Spanish
American war. Then it was
that wave of imperialistic hys-
terra swept over the country.
The United States has become a
World power, we are told by
22-caliber statesman and despite
the protests of such leaders as
Bryan in the Democratic party
and Hoar in the Republican par
ty. a majority of the voters
'fell for" the new doctrine.
Now, Imperialism is the most
costly game ever played by ma
lions and it costs republics ten
times as much as it does monar-
chies. A country can't be truly
imperial" with out having COL
onies and big army and a
smashing big navy. So we ac-
quired the Philippines and a
string of other islands and pro-
coded to spend money like the
proverbial drunken sailor. When
some fellow prote sted he was
silenced by the solemn declar-
alton that the United States
must realize it's destiny.
Christmas was a joyful day
at Craig Colony from an epicur-
can standpoint at least as the Ar
vada Craig Colony Club served a
beautiful repast through the
kindly offices of its members in
general and three ladies and two
gentlemen in particular. The
ladies were Mesdames E. L..
Foster, E. L. Newcomb and VIM.
Benson, and the men were Messrs
Staley and Newcomb, who took
the ladies over with the dinner
which had been so skilfully pre-
pared and also two car loads of
various other donations. All the
ladies of the club did their part
toward making the colonists hap
by and deserve much praise.
But to go over and serve the din
ner such time was indeed
a sacrifice and is worthy of es-
pecial mention. These same lad
les also sent a round of treats ia
the county poor farm by Mr..
Staley, which was greatfully re
ceived.
