One Forgotten Plank.

Weary as the delegates at the
Baltimore convention were while
Senator Kern was reading the
platform, there was one sounding
denunciation which provoked ap-
plause. 1t was repeated many
tines during the campaign and
was the ..eynote of many a
speech and many political art
Iicle. 1t was in words and figures
a. follows: We denounce the
nrotlig.te waste of money wrung
from the peopia hv oppressive
taxation through the .a--;sh ap-
preparations of recent Republi-
can congresses. which have kept
taxes high and reduced the pur-
chasing power of the peoples
toll. We demand return to
that simplicity and economy
which pests a democratic gov
ernment and seduction in the
mum Der of useless otaces. the
salaries of which drain the sub
stance of the. people" If one
had been hypocritical he might
have asked why not abolish all
useless Offices ins1<sAd of merely
reducing their number. Bat the
general declaration was in the
line of retrenchment. No words
were more familiar than "Repub
lican extravaganza in the
mouths of Democrats during the
campaign of 1912 unlesS high
cost of living" be given that dis
tinction.
But this ringing declaration
has been forgotten. Once in a
while Chairman Fitzgerald of the
House Committee on Appropria-
tions waves a red lantern of warn
ing to his fellow-partisans, but
he cannot check their rush of ex-
travagance. Cnca q billiondol-
lar Congress" was the ultima
Thule of extravaganza. But the
present Congress will be nearer
a three billion dollar one. Last
years appropriations exceeded
the billion mark by nearly $780,
100000. This years appropria-
tions will reach fully d billion and
aquarter, from present estimates.
Pensions will be $11, 100000 less
and the Military Academy must
do with nearly 100000 less.
The navy requires 100000 less.
The present estimate Of deficien-
cy and miscellaneous appropfia-
tions $50, 600, 600 less, but much
may be done under these items
in the last days rush. All other
appropriations are greater than
those of last year. The post
Office bill carries S26, 900, 600. the
largest in the country's history.
and if the railways should win in
their CONVENTIONS as to proper
compensation a large deficiency
appropriation will be added.
There is no public buildings bill,
fact whose significance should
not be overlooked. There is no
presumption that no more build
ings are desired by congress
men. Tae proper inference 10
that the members are waiting
pntil after the November election

IN AUTUMN.

Shortly the farmstead. hill and
plain
Were glowing with green growing
grain.
Now the leaves, red and brown,
Hang in clusters-autumn to crown.
The un-kissedorchards now seem
To smile where ripened apples
gleam;
The quail fits among the trees,
Content to breathe amid the leaves.
The autumn rose fragrant and fair,
Exhales perfume rich and rare.
Beautiful autumn with wealth of
gold,
Thro'out the world her story's told.

THE RIGHT RAIN.

Robert Loveman's lyric, at Isn't
Raining Rain to Me-" is parodied as
follows in the Kansas City Star:
ut Isn't raining rain to me,
It's raining forage crops;
In every dimpled drop l see
Alfalfa green as hops.
With pastures green for horses
lean,
And rye and wheat for sows,
1t isn't raining rain to me,
It's raining food for cows"

Mccarthy Company. general contrac-
tors, has just landed another big
drainage contract. The work is to be
done at Indianapolis, and the contract
price is close to 100000. The In
dianapolis News tells Of the work as
follows:
THE board Of public works has de-
cided definitely to award the contract
for the construction of the Pogue's run
drain to the Dunn cCarthy Company,
of Chicago, the low bidder. The con-
tract price will be 1907 .os7.31, and the
contract will be signed by the board as
soon as it is signed by the officials of
1 the railroad companies interested.
| The contract has been prepared and
signed by the Dunn Mccarthy Com
pany. 1t will be sent to the various
railroad companies interested at once.
In the meantime, according to B. 7. j.
Jeup. city engineer. the company will
bring it's equipment to the city and
Will be prepared to begin work soon
after the contract has been signed by
the board.
1T has been decided to award the
contract to the company in three sec
lions. Bids were received by the sec
| ton and for the job as whole. The
company, according to Mr.. Jeup. has
agreed to take the contract by sections
at price that will not exceed the bid
| 1t made for doing the work as whole.
The city officials have decided that II
would be more satisfactory to have the
work divided into sections with bond
to cover each.
Letting a contract for the construc-
ton of Pogue's run sewer is said by
| city officials to mean that track eleva-
/ ton plans for the central part of the
| city are to be carried out. The drain is
the preliminary step necessary to be-
ginning the work Of elevating the
| tracks The drain is to follow the pres
emit court Of Pogue's run with slight di-
versions, eight feet deep and forty feet
| wide"
