sion has appropriated" plus that which
ii has authorized to be expended, but
the bills for which will not come in
until after the close of the next fiscal
year. The total appropriations amount
to $1,71O. 4S2,722. To this figure must
be added authorizations" for which
appropriations are not made, but for
which Congress has obligated itself to
make appropriations, of 1886, 643.977.
The total appropriations of the last
Republican Congress 1.-TWO sessions)
amounted to $2,O54,OO0,OOO. The APP
preparations of this Congress 1.-TWO ses-
sions) will total at least $3,400, 900 900.
The increase in the appropriations due
to preparedness is $390,OO0,O 900, which
leaves an increase of 5000, 100000 of
actual appropriations over last session,
to be accounted for entirely by what
Senator Smoot has termed "unequaled
extravaganza combined with ineffic-
iency unsurpassed" The Democratic
platform contains two pertinent state
ments. One reads:
1--WE denounce the profligate waste OF
money wrung from the people by OPP
pressive taxation through the lavish
appropriations of Republican Con-
crosses, which have kept taxes high
and reduced the purchasing power of
the peoples toll. We demand a return
to that simplicity and economy which
befits a Democratic government and a
reduction in the number of useless
offices, the salaries of which drain the
substance of the people"
The other reads: Our pledges are
made to be kept while in office as well
as to be relied upon during the cam
paign."
The Democratic managers have been
sending distress messages to Wash
ington. begging their leaders in Con-
gress to try to make some better fiscal
showing. The above figures and quo
tations show the reason why.

Wilson viii Campaign-The White
House announced that President Will
son would not go on the stump. Then
Gov. Hughes started on his western
tour and began to expose the Wilson
administration record and it was
promptly announced that the Presi-
dent would go nthe stump and "go
over much the same ground as had
Gov. Hughes" Then Chairman Nc
'Cormick rushed over to Washington
and, after a talk with the President,
announced that Mr.. Wilson considered
it incompatible with the dignity of
the Presidency" to go on the stump.
Now Mr.. Mccormick has announced
in Chicago that President Wilson VIII
speak there and in a number of other
sections of the west before the cleo
ton. All of which recalls the plant of
the Democratic member of Congress
who, when appealed to to stand by the
President, replied Its pretty hard
to stand by a man who won't stand
still"

The Man Behind-"That it was the

and to President Roosevelt's ultima

behind the words who has been re-
sponsible for the contempt accorded
by various foreign nations to the pro-
tests of this administration is the cpl
gramatic explanation of Senator

Truth viii Out-Those Democrats
who bitterly resented the Republican
charge that the President advocated a
Etariff commission purely as a matter
of political expediency have become
deeply concerned over their realiza-
ton that they have provided salaries
of only $500 a year for the six men,
bers of the Tariff Commission, where
as the members OF the Farm Loan
Board will receive $4,000 a year. This
Is, of course. simply further proof
that the Democrats generally have lit
tile faith in a Tariff Commission and
that in creating 1t they were merely
LOBBYING the President and not enact
ing what they regarded as legislation
OF Importance. An effort has been
made to put responsibility for the low
err salary of the tariff commissioners
ON the Republicans.-who have ex-
tremely little faith in a tariff COM
mission to be appointed by President
Wilson-but investigation proves that
the man who was really responsible
for 1880 salaries is Rep. Cullop, of
Indiana, tariff for revenue only
Democrat. AS compared with the $12,-
900 year of the Federal Reserve
Board and the $4,000 a year of the
Farm Loan Board. the $500 OF the
Tariff Commission looks small.

A Sad OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
McAdoo, who is enjoying the cool
weather of New England and at the
same time seeking light on the man.
ner in which the Farm Loan Bank
legislation is being received, has suf-
fered a serious disappointment. 1t
WAS expected that the enactment of
this legislation would constitute one
o fthe strongest talking points of the
administration in this campaign. On
the contrary, Mr.. McAdoo is finding
that there has not been and is no de-
mand for a government bank to make
loans to farmers in the New England
states. He has visited Maine, New
Hampshire and Massachusetts, and in
each has been informed that the New
England farmer can get all the money
he can reasonably expect from the
savings banks and similar institutions
with which he is accustomed TO do
business. 1t is becoming evident that
only where the Federal Loan Bank is
prepared to loan money at consider
ably less than its market value will
iJ be particularly welcomed. II is
possible conditions may prove differ
tent in the west. but the Wilson ad-
ADMINISTRATION can make little capital
out of this piece o Legislation in New
England.

the union labor men who are conduct

it leak out that they are skeptical o.

gard his professed friendliness to la
Dor with some measure of suspicion.
Possibly they should not have let their
spcticism leak out, but it is not sur
prising that they should be sceptical
and suspicious in view of what DR..
Wilson has himself said about labor
and labor unions. Said DR.. Wilson on
June 10, 1909, in a public address,

Darlings Lecture a Good

Nels Darling at the Presby.
terian church Thursday even
ing gave a lecture on Community
Interest Our Home Town"
The lecture WAS the second num-
ber in Lyceum Course. We had
been informed beforehand about
what Nels Darling would say.
but we could not understand
what a live wire" he is until we
heard his lecture. In attempting
to describe the lecture one would
have to go into details about the
social welfare of the community.
Mr.. Darling is different from the
most lecturers. He strikes right
out from the shoulder and it
makes no difference to him whose
toes he tramps, in fact that is
the purpose of the lecture, to
get people out of the old rut in
which most of us are liable to
drift. His plea is for better
social conditions, better oppor-
tunities for the youth of the com
munity. 1t was a most excellent
address and the only regret is,
that more of our citizens were
not there to hear it.

Inasmuch as Mr.. Finkbeiner
