Senator Jim Ham Lewis Of Illinois
proposes to fill the aching void in the
Federal Treasury by an issue OF
bonds to the tune of five hundred
millions. This is a favorite method
of the Democrats when confronted by
a deficit: and deficit is always d
natural accompaniment Of a Demo-
cratic administration. Cleveland had
one-and he issued bonds. Wilson
has one-and Jim Ham proposes to
issue bonds But jim Hams scheme
goes much further. He wants to in
crease the National debt by fifty per
cent. and he suggests that the bonds
be issued in small denominations.
that they be purchased by the people
generally, and that the proceeds, af-
ter paying off the Democratic deficit,
shall be used in some underlined man
ner for putting the people who are
now jobless to work. AS we under
stand it. Jim Hams plan is for the
people to lift themselves out of the
slough by their own bootstraps.

TIE Presidents emphasis on the
word humanity" in the German note
led some people to declare that this
was the first time the word had ever
been brought TO the front in diplo-
matte exchanges. A Spanish war vet
eran writes to the St. Louis Globe
Democrat to show the contrary. by
calling to mind an expression en-
ployed by Mckinley just prior to the
war in 1896 Mckinley declared that
In the name of humanity and civil
lization,' the atrocities in Cuba must
come to an end. This veteran points
out that "a parallel case exists in

on their passenger trains because
the personal liberty OF their

will marvel at the conditions which L
