As to Appropriations.

1t is amusing to observe how Repub-
lican lamentations over the extrava.
gance of the Democratic congress go
side by. side with denunciations Of 1t
for its failure to increase the army
and make great appropriations for
coast defense. These critics fail to
recognize the, fact that of the appro-
priations made by congress probably
40 per cent are for pensions and the
support Of the army and navy. OF
the remaining 60 per cent the post
Office department absorbs large
share, and the ordinary, running ex-
penses of the government consume
the rest. These cannot be seriously
diminished, and if the army is to be
largely increased it can only be done
through augmenting the revenues
That, in turn, would call out hypocrit-
ical jeremiads over the alleged flnan-
cial inconpetency of the Democrats,
and more denunciations of the new
taxes. If the American people want
a large army they must be. willing
to pay for it by more or less onerous
taxation, just as European nations do.
Economy and a large army and navy
don't jibe well together.

PROSPECTS IN 1916
Politics Has Much Dependence on
Conditions.
Legislation Placed on Statute Books
by Democrats Was Based on Con-
ditions of Pcaoe-changes
Made by the War.

Writing from Cuba Mr.. Watterson
made this observation:
II In 1916 the country has taken
advantage of its opportunities and has
adjusted itself to the changes wrought
both in foreign and domestic COM
merce by the European war. the land
Will How, as it were, with wine, milk
and honey, and the Democratic call
ing and election under the Wilson
leadership will be sure The Repub-
llcans are all at sea. They have no
man in sight. But in the event that
the money, which fear has driven in
hiding, remains in hiding because of
continued agitation and uncertainty
the state of unemployment next
winter what 1t is this winter-any old
party-any old leader-can drive us
from power"
In other words, If times are good
in the United States next year, the
Democratic party will take, and be
accorded, credit; If bad, it will have
to bear the blame and take punish
ment. It is one Of the humorous fea-
lures OF our political philosophy, that
the party in power is responsible for
both the crops and the weather.
The next eighteen months are in
the lap of the gods. Speculation
about what they are likely to pro-
duce is at the greatest risk. Every
thing. both at home and abroad, is at
SKIES and sevens. We are striving
and hoping to keep out Of the war,
and hoping also that ''the mighty
scourge of war may soon pass away"
The important legislation placed
on the books by this congress was
prepared for peace conditions. The
Underwood tariff was laid without
a thought of war, and, of course, with
out provision for any such contfngen-
cy. And the same is true of the cur
rency law and the new trust enact
ments. Latest come the federal trade
law and the commission to execute it.
What changes has the war imposed?
Business has been affected at every
point, more or less. Exports are
large in few lines, but suspended
in Others Imports have been so much
reduced, the governments revenues
are running heavily behind. Invest
ments are halted. A feverish anxiety.
everywhere prevails.
Adjustments to meet this situation
will be as difficult as they are imperar
tive; and the new congress must at
least attempt some OF them.

Knew How to Get Things Dons.

Woodrow Wilson has very clear
ideas as to the ends Of legislation;
but in his messages and public state
ments he has always treated matters
Of detail with a pleasing vagueness.
He was much criticized for this at
first. Men Iamented his political youth
and inexperience. AS a matter Of
fact, he was maturer than they Where
other presidents had merely relieved
their minds he was bent on getting
things done He knew that accom-
piishment is only possible, in democ-
racy, to the man who bears the other
fellows personal rights clearly in
mind.

That are always at the meeting.
And stay until its through;
The ones that would mention
Are the always faithful few.
They fill the vacant offices,
AS they're always on the spot,
No matter what. the weather
Though it may be awful hot;
It may be damp and rainy,
But they are tried and true
The ones that you rely upon
Are always the faithful few.
There's lots Of worthy brothers
Who will come when in mood,
When everythin's convenient
They can do little good.
They're factor in the union
And are necessary, too;
But the ones who will never fail u
Are the always faithful few.
II it we're not for these faithful
Who, shoulders at the wheel.
EKeep the union moving onward
without halt or reel.

Who claim so much to do

But for the faithful few.

And pull with all his strength
