DEMOCRATIC RECORD.

An obtuse supporter of President
Wilson.wants to know why the Re-
publican party, in control of the gov
eminent most of the time from the
Civil War to the present, had not built
up national defense, and why it had not
eliminated such outrage upon the re-
public as the pork appropria tons.
If the majority OF the voters in the
United States are slightly simian and
intend to mark their ballots with their
feet, these questions are complete es-
TOPPED of Republican argument. If the
booths are to be filled by men and
women, standing and not hanging from
some convenient horizontal bar by ap-
pendages furnished by provident nature
for such purpose, such questions will be
fat in the fire of Republican criticism.
When the Democratic party was
given control of the United States
navy, the first line of defense, was
ranked second in the worlds lists.
Only one power could hope to penetrate
this first line and that power, Great
Britain, could do so only by so weaken
ing its home defense that it would be
dangerously exposed to attack by an
ambitious continental nation. Germany
was an ambitious continental nation
Great Britain did not dare enter con
troversy with the United States which
would employ her great sea force so
long as the powerful German ambitions
were waiting watchfully for oppor-
tunity.
| The United States in second naval
strength was safe. The United States,
after three years of Democratic ad-
ministration, is in fourth place. and
unsafe.
Until 1914 the nation had a right to
think that behind an adequate navy
its frontiers could be protected by a
small professional army. Sentiment
throughout the nation, however badly
formed, was determined against a
larger military establishment. Aug
ust. 1914, changed every prospect.
The lesson was taught when the Dem
ocratic party was in power.
! For two years, with every European
country suggesting our dangers to US,
| the Democratic party rolled the pork
barrel and ignored national necessity.
| 1t dredged creeks and put money into
small towns. Il had all the little pigs
of the pork family in at the trough and
it told the nation to go around in the
back yard where the grass was longer.
For two years, full of danger and
threat, the record of the Democratic
party shows no accomplishment tor the
safety of the nation. Now Democracy,
after hundreds of thousands of citizens
had protested, is tumbling over itself to
get away from political danger.
Such government! Two years of
neglect to be repaired in two weeks of
political panic! Do the people want
government such as this? Do they want
a government which will act only when
it is scared sufficiently politically?
And the pork barrel. A Republican
President gave Democratic Congress
budget system. The Democratic
Congress rejected it. A Democratic
President has not mentioned it. A
Democrat President has signed every
pork bill presented to him. Enough,
except for voters who will vote hang
ing from horizontal bars.

Widespread disgust with present tax

the amendment got less than third
of the total electorate vote, it is well

have been very much larger had
there been greater popular informa-,

AFRAID OF THE SURE CURE?-
Public agitation against the high cost
of living has reduced prices on GER
tain foods somewhat, in New York.
1t has been an awful lot of fuss to
do it. All the mayors in New York,
all the legislators. all the counciImen
and about all the civic associations
have had to be stirred up. There has
had to be perfect volcanic UpheaVal
in order to get any results whatever.
And the relief will be only tenn
porary. Coal can lie in the dealers
yards, eggs and meat and butter can
lie in the cold storage plants until
the public agitation wears out, and
boycotters will starVe to death before
any legislation now on the books can
reach the evil.
Over in Terre Haute, the mayor
knocked $3.25 per ton off the price, of
coal by chartering and operating a
municipal coal mine. It's govern
eminent competition, the only spe-
cifc yet discovered for the cure Of
extortion.

London, Dec 10. - Roumania and

tinue the sectors where most of the
fighting is taking place. In Wallachia
snow has checked but slightly the ad-
vance of the Central Powers against
the Roumanians and Russians. The
town of Mill, on the railway between
Ploechti and Buehu has been captured,
as also has the village of Urziceni, 20
miles southeast. Berlin announces
more than 10000 additional Rouman-
ians have been captured.
In the Carpathians and along the
Moldavian frontier the Russians are
continuing their violent attacks, but
according to Berlin, without success.
It is asserted by Berlin that the Rus
slams in the Carpathians have lost

PROSECUTE PRICE BOOSTERS
WILSON ORDERS PROMPT AND
VIGOROUS COURT ACTION.
Remedial Laws to Permanently Better
Living Conditions Planned
BY High Officials.

Washington, Dec. Is. - Vigorous
and prompt" prosecutions of any VIC.
lstions of law by food spectators, in
all parts of the country, have been or
dered by President Wilson.
The executive gave his order per-
sonally to United States Attorney An
derson of Boston at the conclusion of
a conference with the chief investi-
gator at the White House. At the con-
ference Anderson and the President
went over plans for grand jury in
quiries, arranged by Anderson, into
the high cost of'living.
Remedial Legislation Likely.
Remedial legislation to permanently
better living conditions in the United
States are likely as a result of the
facts laid before the President by An
derson. No steps will be taken, it was
made known, until a full examination
has been made into the data already
collected and yet to be obtained.
It was said by officials connected
with the investigation that their chief
hope for the ultimate lowering of the
cost Of living lies in simplifying the
means of transportation of foodstuffs,
the practice of economy by the public,
increase of production by farmers and
through other such methods, rather
than by the prosecution of lawbreak-
erS.

APPROVES IMMIGRATION BILL
SENATE AMENDMENT DOES NOT

So-called "GentIemen's Agreement"
With Toxic Ia Stricken Out of

Washington, Dec. 13.-After another
day of debate over the exclusion Of
aliens on account of race, the Senate
adopted the committee amendment to
the immigration bill which would bar
Hindus and certain Asiatics without

repeal any existing law, treaty or
agreement which serves to prohibit or

To Replace Japanese Agreement.
This added stipulation, proposed by
Senator Phelan of California, Is de-
signed to replace the direct conference
to the so-called "gentleman's agree
ment" with Japan which was stricken
out Of the House bill by the Senate
committee at the request of the State

when in the summer of 1914 the

existence and safeguard itself for the

plots of hostile neighbors.
