THE submission of estimates by the
various departments of the federal gov
eminent encourages no hope of return
to that simplicity and economy which
benefits a democratic government, -
which the Baltimore platform pledged.
Every department wants more money
than was appropriated for 1916, al
though, after the deficiency appropria-
lions made necessary by the failure of
the last Congress to pass fifteen of the
great supply bills are voted, the ex-
.Denditures for the years 1915 and 1916
will exceed any in the history of the
government, being SIT, GOO, 600 more
than those of the last Republican Con-
,ress, whose ''profigate waste of mon
wrung from the people by oppres-
i've taxation was denounced by the
Baltimore platform and by every DEM
ocrat of low or high degree throughout
the United States in the campaign of
1912. The estimate for 1917 exceeds
that of any year except 1865.

Christen Anderson Dies Suddenly.

Another great loss to the church and
community of Rockdale occurred Sun
day morning, Dec. 9Th, when Christen
Anderson was found dead in his chair
at home. He was 20 years old, but
hale and hearty up to the time OF his
death. He came from Norway with
his parents in 1852 and has ever since
made his home in Rockdale except for
three years in the 70's when he lived in
Nebraska. In 1872 he married Clara
Olson, a sister of Ole C. Olson, who
again married Anderson's sister. This
union was blessed with six children of
whom only two daughters are living,
Mrs. Harlow Tellefson and Mrs. Nels
Lein. Christen Anderson was the old
est settler left in the village of Rock
dale. He was trustee and JanitOr of
the church and man interested in the
welfare and moral progress OF the COM
munity. Sunday morning he had arisen
just as usual, made a fire in the stove
and prepared to do his chores, when
the stroke came. He leaned back in
his chair and his heart ceased to beat.
Thus he was found by his daughter,
Mrs. Tellefson, little later.

THE railroads have finally got by the
interstate commerce commission with
an order permitting them to raise their
passenger rates on basis of "a cents
per mile. The order may not permit
them to charge more than cents with
In states, but general raise of fares
both east and west may be expected.
The roads were evidently able to show
that 2 cents per mile was not produc-
tive rate and we doubt if the public
wants to be carried for less than it
costs for the service.

Grafton before resolutions committee
of the ninth annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor at San
Francisco very recently. The six hour
day measure was presented by men,

ment is based on the claim that the use
of improved machinery is driving labor
out of employment and the only way to
overcome the situation is to reduce the

for the acquisition OF the necessary
property. including n bridge or viaduct
from the North Side Greater Rich

ing the Brook Turnpike through it's
course northward and up and down

The northern suburbs have united in
demanding direct extension of Cham
berlayne Avenue southwark to Broad

the railroad tracks and the valley over

Board. who has given the matter
much thought. Several meetings have

GREAT BRITAIN's PEACE TERMS.

At the Lord Mayors banquet in Lon
don, Nov. 9, 1914, Premier Asquith, in
outlining the war situation, said:
''This is going to be long war, but
there is nothing in long struggle to de-
press us, or IN what has happened. Our
enemy has tried three objectives-Paris,
Warsaw and Calais has been baffied
in all.
That is not enough. We shall not
sheathe the sword, which we have not
lightly drawn, until Belgium has recov-
cred more than she has sacrificed; until
France is adequately secured against
menace; until the rights of the smaller
nationalities have been placed upon an
unassailabie foundation, and until the
destroyed"
At the Lord Mayors banquet in Lon
don Nov. IL, 1915, Sir Edward Grey,
British Foreign Secretary, in written
answer to question put by Sir Arthur
Markham, Liberal member of Parlla-
ment, after stating that Great Britain s
position in the war is fixed by her ALI
ances with Japan, France and Russia,
went on to say:
''In our view, the conditions of peace
must fulfill those laid down by the Prime
Minister on Nov. 9, 1914. 1t is very de-
sirabIe that it should be undertood once
and for all that this is the determination
of the Government, collectively and in.
