Some Of Senator Tom Taggarts
Democratic colleagues have been
jumping on him pretty severely for his
criticism of Democratic extravaganza.
but the figures submitted by the In.
diana senator seem to afford good
ground for his animadversions. He
cites, for instance, the case Of the
postoffice at Falmouth, Ky. The town
has population Of 1874. The appro-
priation Is 100000 and the cost Of
maintenance, figuZhg interest on the
investment at 1,140 and including 9TH
er necessary expenses, will be S8,742
a year, or nearly $500 a piece for every I
soul in the town. Mr.. Taggart quotes
similar figures in the cases OF Rose.
Vile, Ga. and Hazard, Ky. He shows
$4,000 appropriated for Mt. Olive, N.
c., with a population Of 1,071; $4,000
for Huntington, Tenn, with o popula-
ton Of LIZ; $4,000 for Clear Water,
Fla, with a population Of LII. .If

grasp the fundamentals Of Democratic
policy is explained by his Democratic
colleagues by the fact that he has been
a member Of the Senate only since

a tENAlON JOf1N n. BANkt1EAD, Democrat,
- from Alabama, has come around to the support of
the Administrations ship purchase BILL but in announc-
ns his change of heart he did the Wilson administration
no good Explaining his opposition to the bill at the last
session Of Congress, Senator Bankhead said:
Il believed then, and believe now, that II
that bill had become a law and these (ntern-
ed) vessels had been purchased by the United
States and put under our flag, and engaged
tnscommerce between this and foreign coun-
tries war would have been the inevitable re-
suit OF. such strained relations between this
government aud tho ALLIES, as would have abb
solutely demoralized and destroyed our for
egn Commerce"
Senator Bankhead was absolutely right Who, then,
was i that kept US out of WARP" Woodrow Wilson was
bending every energy in his power to force through Con-
srss The Shipping bill which would certainly have thrown
Republican members. aided by Senator Bankhead and six
Dther Democrats. It was the leveheaded Republican
minority and such Independent Democrats as Bankhead
hho prevented that folly, or worse than folly.
