The Cause of Public ExtravaQQnce.

Senator Burton has in the esteemed Saturday Ev.
ening Post a long article about national extravaganza,
referring, of course, to government expenses, which
are always large and always growing larger.
In that article he talks about causes, but like
most other commentators on this subject, he over,
looks the only real underlying cause worth thinking
about, says the Duluth Herald.
And this cause, which is behind state and local
extravaganza as we'll, as nation extravaganza, is that
the public is paymaster and because Of its indifer
ence or its lack of organized protest has been prac-
tically defenseless.
What would yolEexpect where" the situation exist
cd Of men spending other peoples money, taking it
out Of their pockets largely at will, rendering only
formal accounting, and with the owners of the pock-
cts taking only a mild interest in what is going OIL,
and: proposing to do nothing whatever ABOUT it?
When you employ a %caretaker you allow him Tor
expenses what you think is necessary anu what you
can afford.
Welat would you expect but extravaganza if you
had a lot 9~saretakers who were free to spend as
much as they Chose, and if you paid little or no at
tention to how much they took or how they spent it:
That's SO closely analogous to the situation be,
tween the taxpayer and the .ax-spender that it isn't
necessary to look further for causess Of public extrav-
agance. ~.

Republicans and Reunion

~~- In all address at Des Moincs, the other night.
Senator. .Cummins Endorsed the action taken by the
Republican national committee at the recent meeting,
held in this town, looking to the rehabilitation Of the
party. He had advocated a special national conven-
ton and a deliverance by that body as to the duty
OF both conservative and progressive Republicans re-
specting the future, but he told his constituents that
the eonlmittee's decision was satisfactory to him, and
he advised d general acceptance OF it.
-Mg. Cummins, as a Progressive. was opposed to
the denomination Of Mr.. Taft, but did not follow
Mr.. Roosevelt out of the Republican party. His part
in the campaign that followed was not as conspicuous
as his position and ability warranted. But what in.
difference he then felt has passed away, and he is
nowHfor vigorous and united action looking to the
return of the Republicans to power. His own name
is mentioned, with others, in connection with the
Presidential nomination in 1916.
Endorsement of the committees action comes from
another quarter quite as encouraging to the Republl~
cans. Some fear was expressed that the matter OF
reducing southern representation in national conven-
tons would provoke not only bitterness in that Sec
ton. but Il protest elsewhere. So far, it has not had
that result. While the southern Republicans are not
applauding. they arc not In a huff over the PROPOSE
tiOn, and some of them can see that from a practical
point Of view there is much to support it. AS a mat
ter of fact. the action should have been taken some
years ago. and would have been taken but for the
opposition Of men who in 1912 opposed MIR. Taft for
reelection because in the contest for the nomination
he had received the support Of the great majority Of
the southern delegates.
"A great deal remains to be done before the two
factions of the Republicans-in part created by the
Payne tariff law, and in part by the row at Chicago
III: 1912-can be welded into fighting form again; but
undoubtedly a good start has been made, and the
work should be pressed. The party that wins at the
polls next November will gain'a great advantage for
1916. A Democratic victory will enable Mr.. Wilson to
tighten his grip, whereas a Republican victory will
loosen his grip, and place him somewhat at tao
mercy of the lukewarm in his own party, and dc,
cidedly at the mercy Of the Republicans.
This good year Of 1914 is big vita Caesar ana
with-fate; and men with political aims to serve
should prepare TO serve them promptly. s.

BELCIANS STRIKING
AT GERMAN Lines

Antwerp, Aug. 2S.-The Belgian
army is striking at the German lines
of communication, which are very
loosely held.
A large proportion of the Belgian
forces which took refuge in Antwerp
when Brussels was evacuated is now
in the field operating between Malines
and Brussels.
The Belgians are heavily supported
with artillery and already IL is be
lieved they are succeeding I'm drawing
some of the weight of the attack on
the French frontier.
II is not the intention of the gen
eral staff to hazard its forces in
general assault. The Belgian army
may yet be needed to defend Ant
werp.
But the field forces are raiding the
German lines, destroying the rail
ways wherever possible and cutting
communication generally.

THREE FRENCH TOWNS

Germans have occupied Lille. Rou-
baix and Valenciennes, all of France.
Roubaix is five miles from the Bel,
gian frontier and Lille and Valencien.

baix is five miles northeast and Va
lenciennes thirty miles southeast of
Lille.
Lille is the most important from a
military point of view. Ii has a for
tress of the first class and the circle
of its forts is thirty miles. Recent
dispatches from Paris said that Lille
was held by French reseryists. Rou.
baix would appear not to be fortified,
1t is a manufacturing center. Va

city and is an important military
point. IL has an arsenal and exten.

SAY GERMANS WERE
TAKEN BY SURPRISE

st. Petersburg. via London, Aug. %.
According to all accounts the Ger.
mans were taken by surprise by the
rapidity of the Russian cavalry move
ments and the dash through the Ma
eur Lake district, where five lines OF
defense were fianked.
After the capture of Gumbinnen
and Insterburg, the line which was
strongest, the Angerburg line was
taken without fighting.
The swift Russian movement, to.
gether with the crossing of the River
Angerapp and the successful battle
northward toward Niedenburg, seals
the fate of the central Notifications.
Fort Boyen is now surrounded on all
sides and passage through East Prus.
STA Is consequently quite open.

SERVIANS VICTORS IN
F0UR-DAY BATTLE

Nish, Servia, Aug. 2S.-Oficial an
nouncement was made that following
the four-day battle along the fifty
mile front at the Drina, In which the
Austrian army of invasion was de-
feated by the Servians, the victorious
Seryians are now driving the enemy
toward Loznitza.
Every effort is being made by the
Servian commander to cut off the
Austrian retreat and to annihilate the
Austrian army. In addition the Servi-
ans have taken fifty cannon and large
quantities Of stores. II is admitted
that the Seryian losses have been
enormous. because of the necessity of
carrying the Austrian positions by
storm.

London, Aug. 2S.-Occupation OF
Lille. Roubaix and Valenciennes,
France, by German arms Is news con.
veyed in special advices to Paris from
Ostend, Belgium. Another special
cable from Berlin, by way of London,
reports that all the forts at Namur,
Belgium, have fallen and that Long.
wy has been captured after a reso.
lutte defense.
The special cable adds that the Ger.
man army led by the crown prince
has repulsed the French at Abrupper
and hat Alsace is free of French
forces with the exception of the ter
ritory about holman.
These adyices would indicate a Ger
man advance along the entire front
toward Paris. Lille, Valenciennes
and Roubaix are near the Belgian
frontier and Lille is said I o have been
strongly fortified. Valenciennes is a
military station of less Importance.
while Roubaix is a manufacturing
center.
