$4,000, 100000 will presently be
asked from the German Reichstag
making $12,5OO,OO0,OOO since the
war began. The estimates of requir-
ed expenditure indicate roughly
that England is now spending al
the rate of $8,5OO,000,OO0 a year
and Germany at the rate OF $4,000.
100000. Part of the difference be.
tween the two sums, though not all
OF 1t, is due to England's advances
for war purposes to her allies and
colonies. Some idea of the burden
imposed on the financial resources
OF the two countries may be got
from the fact that the largest total
subscription by the English market
to new securities of every kind in
any previous year of peace was ST.
337, 100000; the largest German
total very considerably less.

PIRACY IN PORK

When it comes to genuine piracy
in 'pork" Senator Sheppard OF
Texas bitches his wagon to star.
Not long ago the Texas Democratic
senator introduced a proposal to
economic in governmental expenses
by cutting the salaries of all gov
eminent employees. The very next
day with that peculiar consistency
characteristic of the present ma
jority party, Mr.. Sheppard introduc-
ed measures to provide a $4,000
federal building for Brownsville,
Texas, $4,000 structures for Child
ress, Huntsville and Memphis, and a
$4,000 memorial building for Can
adian. Brownsville has a population
Of about 10000, Memphis boasts
$50 residents, Huntsville has 2072
and Canadian 164S.
When it comes to exploits in
pork" the southern Democracy is
in class of its own. AS long as
former Congressman Burleson of
Texas is postmaster general, Mem
phis, Texas. need not despair of
having that $4,000 federal build
ing. Mr.. Burleson like his fellow
Texan, Senator Sheppard, is not at
all averse to what might be termed
an advantageous distribution oil
"porcine plums."

never been any doubt that the
boards activities would be chiefly
displayed in a political manner. Its
members, like most other appoin-
tees of this administration, have
devoted themselves eagerly to
sounding the praises of the presi-
dent, and Mr.. Harris activity in
Georgia is strictly in line with the
general manner in which the board
has conducted itself. Senator New
lands innocence is refreshing. The
federal trade commission is per-
forming the functions which its
sponsors expected and there will be
no eensure of Mr.. Harris as a re-
suit of Senator Newlands' criticism.
The commissioner may be privately
chided for little coarse work, but
nothing further.

At Chicago the Republican COM
mittee on platform held open SEES

as to organization or platform.
At st. Louis the delegates are oc-
cupying the position of dummies in
a pantomime. Mr.. Wilson has writ
ten the platform at Washington and
will send it to st. Louis by son-in-
law McAdoo in time to be adopted
The delegates did not even know
who was to be chairman until Will
son sent word whom he had picked.

age over the delegates at st. Louis

THE TRADE COMMISSION

In a recent speech in the senate
Mr.. Newlands of Nevada, a Demo
crat, took occasion to express criti-
cism Of William ]. Harris, a mem
Der of the federal trade commission,
for his activity in connection with
the Democratic state convention in
his home state of Georgia. Senator
Newlands is a Democrat himself
but Of the old-fashioned school and
he has much to learn in these days
Of the new freedom" The trade
commission was established as a
political body. There was no loud
call for such a body from any quar-
ter and in fact the most active per-
son in urging the bill was that
member Of the board whom the SEN
ate has just refused to confirm
Mr.. Rubles, Of Wisconsin, New
Hampshire and New York-whose
anxiety may or may not have been
aetuated by his desire to connect
himself with the fine salary which
the post carries.

in defiance Of the spirit
Of the law as 1t read, and there has

HUGHES AND FAIRBANKS

The nomination of Hughes by
the Republicans is being received
the country over with great salts
faction. 1t is recognized that he has
the equipment that will make him
an invincible candidate. His splen-
did message of acceptance was a
mastery summing up of the real is
sues of the campaign and makes n
position on which all factions Of
the Republican party can unite.
Kansas is for Hughes and he will
carry the state by 100000 majority
in the Judgment of we'll informed
men.
Mr.. Fairbanks has been approved
by this nation before and he will be
approved now. He adds strength to
the ticket in the middle west and
makes the ticket one that will meet
with enthusiasm east and west.
A most interesting fact in con-
nection with the ticket is that
neither candidate sought the place
the party sought the men-and
this is the right way to select the
leaders of the national ticket.
The Republicans enter the cam
paign with strong nominees, a sound
platform, a reunited party and
victory will result in November.

FORTY MILLIONS WASTED

The pork-laden rivers and har'
bors bill has passed the house. Re-
publican senators made a futile ef-
fort, through the use of a filibuster
to eliminate some of the more no
torious of its pork" provisions, 1t
is rarely that out of the degenerate
depths to watch Democratic states
manship has fallen a voice of pro-
test is heard from within the party.
Such a worthy exception to the
general rule should not pass un-
commended. Senator Tillman, of
South Carolina, has this to say on
the rivers and harbors bill, which,
unless the Republican filibuster sue
ceeds, will soon add 100000 900
more to the debts incurred by the
Wilson administration.
1--WE need the money so much for
more important things that it is
criminal to my mind to hesitate for
one moment or discuss this bill at
all. Think of it. Forty million
dollars to be wasted, and taxes to
be heavily increased. That forty
millions would buy two battle cruis-
ers. l believe the nation needs more,
a thousandfold more, two modern
up to date battle cruisers than it
does or can possibly need, or be
benefited by, this forty millions for
rivers and harbors. If this bill does
pass, ! pray God the president will
veto it,"
Within the next few weeks, Wood
row Wilson will have ample oppor-
tunity to demonstrate the sincerity
Of his high professions of lofty
craftsmanship. President Wilson can
use the veto on the notorious pork
Of the rivers and harbors bill as
we'll as that Of the Hay military
bill. But Woodrow Wilson is essen
tally an aspiring politician; for
hat reason the country should not |
expect too much.

THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE

Justice Charles E. Hughes, the
Republican nominee for president
is far above the average presiden-
tial candidate in ability and strength
of character. He is very independent
in thought and action, is clear
minded in the highest degree and
has unusual mental powers. He is
conservative in temperament, with
progressive tendencies. He has fine
integrity and wonderful facilities of
expression. His phrases are clear,
direct and convincing and what is
of the most Importance, they come
from sincere heart. In type he
is more like Benjamin Harrison
than any former Republican candi-
date.
We believe he will be elected and
that it is for the best interest Of
our country that he should be. AS
the campaign progresses he will
grow in favor, because he will i'm
press the country with his intelli-
gence and earnest patriotism.-Sa-
