Senator Simmons declared Republicans in Congress had clamored for even great. CT expenditures for defense, and, hay. ing done this, were seeking partisan advantage by making false charges of Democratic extravaganza to the pub- lie
 Senator Shoot, opening the Repub. lican assault on the revenue bill, said if the Democratic party were to be retained in control of the government the country would suffer an era of unequaled extravaganza combined with inefficiency unsurpassed His attack was supported by Senator Cur. tis.
 To prove his contention that nor. nal appropriations of this session were not excessive, Senator Simmons submitted Treasury Department esti- mates for the year 1917, showing that, excluding postal appropriations, bond issues already authorized and amounts that will not be expended, revenues must be provided for disbursements of S1,126,243 ,000 Of this amount the total appropriated for national de- fense wouI1 aggregate about S654, ,00O,- GOO and the senator submitted other figures to prove that this extraordi- nary amount, due to preparedness and the Mexican emergency, exceeded nor nal defense appropriations by about $372. .2S0,00O.

GOOD L DAD

In these days of suffrage movements,
women s civic leagues, and so on, II IS
interesting to find something like the
following in print, which we take from
an exchange:
Newspapers throughout the country
are heralding the approach of Mothers
Day, NAV IA, and perhaps the spirit
of the celebration is worthy Of all the
consideration that can be given it, but
at the same time we think. as do many
others, that dear old Dad is deserving
of a wee bit Of recognition.
The dear mother who bore you and
tenderly cared for you through the diff
feult trials that accompany infancy,
shows her maternal love in every
glance and action. She canno conceal
it. But with Dad it il different. He
loves you dearly, but that affection Is
confined within his heart and does not
radiate in looks and actions. 1t is not
his nature to be demonstratiye in this.
Whether his labors are in office, shop
or field, it is for his loved ones he
tolls. 1t is his ambition to accumulate
sufficient worldly goods to provide for
his family should he be called to the
unknown.
Have you not seen men of powerful
physique who you thought void Of ten
der passions, yet when death stalked
in their family they were completely
overwhelmed, their huge frames shak-
ing violently with heart-rending sobs.
Their grief is often more apparent
than that of the gentler sex and more
touching to look upon, and it is be-
cause hat great love has been pent
up within them.
Here's to Father, Good Old Dad.
There's not much credit he's ever
had.
Give him a hug, a kiss, and say
"Dear Old Dad on Mothers Day.

THE WAR PARTY OF JAPAN.

Little is known of General Terauchi, the
new premier of the Japanese cabinet, ex-
cept that he is member of the war party
which has so waxed in strength that
Okunra, the former premier, was ot1sted
because of his favorable attitude towards
western nations, and his unwi1lingness to
further the exploitation schemes on China.
The fact that Terauchi is regarded as a
political follower of former Premier Yama-
gaia, under whose influence the gentle
mems agreement" and other friendly ar
rangements were made with the United
States cannot be considered as having an
important bearing on future relations with
the United States, for the war party is for
closing the open door in China, and that
the new premier will follow the spoilation
designs on China is proved by his record
in accomplishing the annexation of Korea
Recent resolutions passed by the Cali
fornia State Federation of Labor, refusing
to admit Japanese to the unions, and de-
crying employment or patronizing Japan
csc labor in any form, shows that the race
discrimination" is as strong now as ever,
and may be revived at any time. 1t was

THE DARLING OF THE GODS.

The people" Cats says, referring to
Knott, in one of the interviews he hands
out to newspapers that ask for bread and
get stone, 'the people will give him such
chill on November 7 that it will cause his
political death, and it wifi take many a toot
of Gabriers trumpet on the morning of the
Resurrection to cause rattle in his dry
bones
We have heard of mixed metaphors, bat
to confound political death with a physical
demise is so appalling that we are too dumb
to protest the assumption that Gabriel is
in politics, and that Cats is his chosen
nominee.
Cats is minister of the Gospel, and we
are not, so we assume it is in good taste to
tell celestial secrets. That's what the old
timers did-Hector and Achilles and Sig
fried and all the others who were contin-
ually Dragging that Jupiter or Minerva or
Venus or Vulcan or Thor were boosting for
thern-were roofing for them, in baseball
talk, and were not above shying bottle at
the other fellow, il he was getting the bet
ter of it.
Now that Cats has started, we hope he
will tell more of the secrets of his prison
house. Mr.. Knott having been disposed of
to bone-rattling nicely, we would like to
learn the dire fate that impends over the
lawyers who have been arguing the cause
of Knott and whom Cats chastely alludes
to as little ballot stealers and. suffers, !"
from whom, he says, the chicken houses
of Pensacola are in deadly peril. We would
also like to know what astral punishment
will be visited upon the Supreme Court and
the Democratic Committee, and whether
| voters who decline to bolt the party in re-
| spouse to Cats yodle, are to be blasted.
| Please, Mr.. Cats, assuage OUR thirst for
knowledge; while the band plays trembly
music and the stage is dimmed to sepul-
chral shadow, unfold the grewsome tale
we can stand it, and even if it does make
each hair stand on end like quilts upon the
fretful porcupine, it will be too dark for
anybody to notice the horrible phenome-

THE SCRATCH PAD
By THOMAS EWING DABNEY.
CLEOPATRA's NOSE.

Just what those numismatists were
after, who, In convention in Balti-
more, impugned the beauty Of Cleo
patra, Is not clear; whether to argue
that Caesar was color blind and An
thony looking for free board, or to
encourage those msidens of today
whose personal prachritude appealeth
not, to greater endeavor of mind, for
according to the Shayian philosophy,
any woman can bring any man to her
feet that she sets her mind to.
Fortunately the New York World
has exhumed coin of Antioch and
exposes it to view, proving that Cleo
patra's neck was not scrawny, that
her ears were not large, that she had
large eyes and full chin, although,
like a rift in the lutte, the nose shows
up unduly large. Still there is the
inscription on the coin In which the
regal dilettante of the Nile is de-
scribed as "a later goddess"
This coiner was either courtier or
much franker than men are today in
alluding to the lateness of the dear
girls. If he was courtiers we may
| discount what he said, remembering
how the charms of Queen Elizabeth
were advertised despite her raw COM
plexion, painful hair, and disagreea-
BILE style of conversation. But If the
coin is true picture we are to in
fer that a big nose in those days
was no mar. In fact, the bigger the
nose, the greater the beauty: the nose
being as highly priced as the camel's
hump, though for different reasons. A
surplusage of nose would therefore
be the one thing that could make such
capable generals as Caesar and An
thony forget duty and honor, home
and country, and after one look
throw themselves at its feet to
worship.
Hamlet, If he had this coin In his
hand, instead Of Alas, poor Yorick
would say, Horray, poor Yorick! Elk
celsior, Yorick, old scout! for that
nose ON the coin is the Key to great
historical puzzle-it is the Rosetts
stone Of Egypt

THE FARMERS CREDIT.

The statement has frequently been made
that by the recent Rural Credits Act farm
ers now have the same financial status of
business men.
How necessary the law was, is indicated
by report of the Federal Farm Loan
Board, which, after investigating conditions
in twenty-nine states, shows that the in
terest on farm mortgages ran from 5 to go
per cent, with per cent commission, de-
Quoted in advance, when the quoted rate
was as low as or 6 per cent. Furthermore,
small farmers were unable to get credit at
any terms.
The agricultural development that the
Rural Credits Act will develop can hardly
be imagined.
