NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS
AND NATIONAL REVENUES

"National preparedness and national
revenues are two problems that 60
hand in hand.
''The Democratic administration
propose the one when it has utterly
failed to solve the other"
These are conclusions reached by
Representative Frederick H. Gillett, of
Massachusetts,, ranking minority mem
her of the appropriations committee.
His statement has greater significance
when it is remembered that for weeks
Mr.. Gillett has been in daily confer
ence with both Democrats and Republi-
cans of the House in an effort to I'M
prove the present system of financing
government appropriations.
"The question of revenues is the
most difficult problem the Democratic
party must face when Congress
meets" said Mr.. Gillett. Republicans
have always claimed that lack of bust
ness efficiency was an inherent and in
ovitable defect in every Democratic
administration. That theory has been
a%bundantly illustrated since March 4,
1918.
"Dilatoriness, vacillation, change of
plans and deficits have marked the
Democratic fiscal policy. A constant
excess Of expenditures Owe receipts
has been shown by Treasury state
ments. Furthermore, the sudden change
Ia the form of statements adopted on
the first of October, whether made
FOR that purpose or not, had the effect
CT preventing easy comparisons and
unfairly swelling the apparent Treas
ury balance.
"Now the President is going to rec
ommend enormous appropriations for
the army and navy. The serious prob
lem will be how to pay them. In the
past Republicans have been allowed no
voice in these matters. Plans have
been formulated by a Democratic sub
committee, endorsed by a Democratic
caucus, and passed by a Democratic
majority kept solid by the pressure Of
party tyranny and administration pat
ronage.
whether the same system will pre-
vail in the coming session will depend,
| suppose, upon the harmony in the
Democratic ranks and the necessities
Of the administration. At all events,
| think the funds necessary for the pro
gam should be raised by taxation and
rot by the sale of bonds. The proposed
expenditures for national defense
should not be shifted ON to our sue
cessors, but should be paid from eur
rent revenues.
"'This involves cutting off our luxu-
ries and pruning down our necessities
on the one hand, and increasing our
leone on the other.
cit involves surveying the field from
a business and not from a political OF
sectional viewpoint, and that is where
| fear Democratic failure. Unless the
party can meet the situation with bet
ter business foresight and efficiency
than it has so far displayed, the cur
rent drift toward the Republican party
viii become a landslide"

NO YELLOW JOURNALISM IN
THIS OLD PAPER

A copy Of the New York Evening
Post of November 18th. 1901. has
6een brought to the Reporter-Star
office by John Rider. Of 713 East
Washington street, and the old
newspaper, with its quaint phrasing
and unusual form, is a great curios-
ity.
The editor was William Coleman,
and as this was the first issue of the
Post, he gives, on the first page, a
prospectus. one paragraph of which
reads: "The design of this paper is
to diffuse among the people correct
information on all interesting SUBJ
jects; to inculcate Just principles in
religion. morals and politics" The
editor encouraged contributions, but
seemed reluctant to take any respon-
sibility and closes with: 'As 1t is
necessary that the editor exercise his
own judgment on determining on
the propriety of inserting any ORR
sinal Composition. it will relieve
him on an unpleasant embarrass-
ment in this part of his duty to have
them submitted to him without the
names Of the author
The paper consists of single
sheet divided into four pages. With
l
| exception OF the editorial, the first
is filled with advertisements. Many
Of these are for the sale of cargo
from the sailing vessels, and it is
announced that The staunch reg
ular trading ship Juliana, R. Roath,
| master, will be dispatched for Lon
don in 10 or II days, having all her
cargo on board. For freight or pas
, sage, having superior accommoda-
lions. apply on board"
Much space is given to the theater,
and 1t is to be wondered what an
audience of that day would think of
modern theatrical life in New York
city. Then. the doors were opened
at 5 in the afternoon, and the cur
tain rose at $50. Even amidst the
stately and dignified manners of the
day, alarming practices were creep
inv in, against which prompt and
earnest protest was necessary. A
lengthy appeal Is published by Will
liam Dunlap, manager of the New
York Theatre, in which HE is sorry
to be compelled to observe, that the
introduction Of Segars was often at
tempted ia the course of the last
season. He hopes that a practice so
pregnant with danger, and so utter
~ repugnant to decorum. will not
tie persisted in
"Of it's lepugnant decorum it
need only be observed that the
hitherto unavailing requests affixed
to the play-bills, that this practice
may be omitted, furnish a constant
topic Of riuicule to European travel
ers and arc illiberally adduced in
their publications as a proof of the
limited civilization in our country"

Brain AmputatIon.

One Of the wonders OF surgical sci.
ence has been performed in French
military hospital where wounded sol
der has had a sixth of his brain am
putated without missing 1t. The pa
tient was carried IN with a penetrating
wound in the occipital region of the
Uranium. Splinters OF bone had
caused an abscess to form In the left
cerebral hemisphere. These were re-
moved by DR.. A. Guepin, surgeon in
chief to the hospital, but a fresh
abscess formed. and Doctor Guepin
was obliged on two occasions to ampu-
tate portions OF the brain which pro-
truded from the wound. The patient
thus lost at least third of-the left
hemisphere, but shows no special
signs OF trouble. either OF motivity,
sensibility. or ideation.
