justify same. Kindly hold the matter

Eaudation Superfluous.

OF course, President Wilson could
have had the country plunged into
war. He did make move in that dt-
rection as to Mexico but the A. d. G.
commissioners soon bobbed up. Every
one is glad they did. And, 1t is true
the president could have had this
country mixed in the European
struggle. Everyone is glad he has not.
But none expected or desired him to
do SO. II he is entitled to praise for
not doing what the people did not
want him to do, the Telegram joins
in giving it.
Special laudation of him in this re-
spect or unseemly display of thankful
ness, however, tends to cast the re-
Election of doubt as to what he would
do in case of patriotic test. The Tele-
gram accepts him as a patriot. but
sees no occasion, as part of the Demo-
cratic press does, to be continually
calling him one and thus tend to
make the impression that the Amer
lean public doubts that fact and must
be persuaded or shown.

That etSurprise.v

The Telegram has commended all
along that the Progressive party move
ment was designed to aid the Demo
Gratis, SO much so that the third party
has been dubbed the Democratic Aid
Society. That this contention was
based on more than mere supposition
is shown by an admission made by
the Exponent, which declares that one
OF the surprises of the coming cleo
ton will be that "the Democrats are
going to meet with real opposition
from the Progressives."
Opposition from that source. 1t
seems from the Exponent's declara-
ton. is to be surprise. which implies
that no such opposition has existed
heretofore.
Furthermore, the Exponent says
real opposition" which signifies that
past alleged opposition was not real
at all but only fanciful.
This surprise, If true, will evidently
be exceedingly painful to the Demo-
cratic machine, press and candidates
for the reason that Democratic plans
will have gone awry, If it takes place.
However, the Exponent's utterance
is taken with several grains of salt,
when the Progressive leadership is
taken into consideration and there is
reason to believe that it was merely
made for the purpose ofsdeception. 1t
is an undoubted fact that some per-
sons at the head of the Progressive
party in this state have Democratic
victory as their sole purpose and they
will do their best to bring that about
at the election.
That surprise utterance coming
SO soon after the Maine election in
which nearly two-thirds Of the Roose-
welt following returned to the Repub-
lican fold Is not only intended to mis-
lead the public but it is last desper-
ate attempt to hold the third party Ia
tact for the benefit of the Democratic
party.

still a Minority Party.

The Maine election figures, while
proving that the Republican party
could not win without the support OF
the Progressives, show with equal
certainty that the Democratic party
is still minority party In this coun-
try. The Democratic vote in Maine
is less than the opposition vote.
In the congressional district which
the Democrats carried two years ago
because of decided opposition, their
candidate has been reelected for
the same reason. The Progressives
cast 5000 votes in the district, the
Republican and Democratic candi-
dates each receiving only a few hun
dred more.

test between the national administra-
ton and its opponents. there would

Cnnriets Itself Again.

Friday the Exponent said the Re-
publican party was nearing the end,
"Eottering'' and the like.
Sunday it told its readers that It
had lied, just as it told them that it
had lied about its new circulation. 1t
said Sunday that the Republican party
was not as dead as Haman but was
coming forth once more.
The Telegram does not know that
anyone asked the Exponent to con-
trhdict itself but as 1t has the habit
there is nothing strange about its lat
cit act in holding itself up as a fall

A DoubIe eProfiigacy.c

Democratic policies applied to gov
eminent show themselves not only in
adequate in providing revenue for the
needs of the government but also eX-
travagant in government appropria-
tions. "a billion dollar Congress" a few
years ago was a terrible thorn in the
country's flesh according to Demo-
cratic stump speakers and their
sycophant press, but, harki The
present Congress is Democratic
in both houses and the presi-
dent is a Democrat, too. Think of it!
Not a billion dollar Congress but a
two billion dollar Congress! If the
billion dollar Congress" was voting
away the peoples money" the present
Congress Is voting away twice as
much Of their money and the prof
was when the Congress was Republf-
can. Here are the figures as set forth
by the Baltimore American:
The appropriations during the first
session of the present Congress
amounted to 81 ,057, sos ,694.40. And the
appropriation bills for the current
session. not including the $53,000,00
of the rivers and harbors bill, which is
being pruned down, total 81 ,0S9, 40S.-
.777.26. Or, leaving out the rivers and
harbors bill entirely, the appropria-
tions for the two sessions Of the pres
ent Congress sum up two billions, one
hundred and forty-seven millions, and
some odd thousands OF dollars.
And, as offsetting the increase in
expenditures. Cong is facing the
necessity of devising extraordinary
methods of taxation to raise more
revenue This special tax is termed,
q war tax. The inadequacies of the
Democratic tariff as revenue meas
