The Cost OF DemOcracy-Nearly ons
thousand million dollars has been the
cost to the people of the United States
of their experiment in entrusting the
affairs of the Nation to the DemOcrttic
Party. The figures have been cont
piled and presented to the United
States Senate by Senator Warren, who
was Chairman of the Appropriations
committee during the last Democratic
administration. Mr. Warren gave the
total appropriations for the four years
of the Taft administration, and the to-
tai for the four years of Democratic
administration, in so far as total
had been reached. His figures show
just what the Democrats had appro-
priated on September Z, which leaves
out certain additions, including the
$25 100000 which, under the treaty
ratified in the closing hours of the ses-
sion, the United States will pay for
the Danish West Indies. The figures

be contended. of course, that the in
creased cost of preparedness should
also be deducted. While additional
appropriations will go far to counter
balance that item, which amounts at
most to 100000. 900. even II that is
deducted, there still remains an IN
crease by the Democrats OF 746-mil-
lion dollars for the four years entrust-
ed to their charge. When these fig
ures are read in the light of the

Won't Offend CarranEa-Because he
fears that the statements Of fact which
General Scott, the Chief of Staff, might
make would offend General" Car
rama, President Wilson has ordered
that General Scott be kept away from
the New London Conference and Cen
eral Tasker II. Bliss, assistant chief
of STAFF, has been sent there as mill
tary adviser. General Scott, II will
be recalled. went to the Mexican bor-
der and conferred with the Mexican
General. Obregon. He is, therefore,
the best informed man on the subject
and might anger the representatives
of Carranza by telling the truth. Or
course General Scott can make no pro-
test because the office of Chief of Stan
is filed by the President and with an
officer supposed to be agreeable to
him. General Scott's brother officers,
however, bitterly resent the humilia-
ton which has been put upon him as a
result of the administrators subser-
vience to the Mexican chief bandit.

A General Strike-New York is
threatened with a general strike. de-
signed to tie up every industry which
employs union labor and to boycott the
street railway lines, including the sub
way and the elevated, on which a
strike has been in progress for some
days, but without much success on the
part of the unions. Samuel Gompers,
president of the Federation of labor,
was called to New York to consult
with the local leaders and apparently
discOuntenanced the general strike.
Before he came 1t had been announced
that he would be practically head of
the strike. but he has made a public
statement in which he neither adyo-
Gates nor approves the general strike,
although he pledges the sympathy and
support of the Federation to the un-
ion men If they strike. Mayor Mitchell,
Oscar Straus and other officials are
doing all in their power to avert this
general strike. but so far have met
with no success. The spectacle of
the railway brotheThoods procuring a
25 per cent increase of pay by threat
ening to tie up the country by gem
eral strike has proved too much for
the local unions and they are bent up
on striking. whether they have the
approval of the president of the Fed
Grafton OF Labor or not.
