Dcmocrntic Extraynrancc.

Some question has been raised as
to the justice of the charge. oft-re-
peated in these columns, that the
Democratic administration has been
guilty of gross extravaganza and it
has been suggested that figures
should be given TO support it. The
difficulty is that these columns are
limited in space and that figures make
dry reading. but support of the
charge is furnished by one whose
word can hardly be questioned. viz.
Representative Warren Worth Bal
ley, of Pennsylvania. lifelong and
loyal Democrat, who said recently in
debate:
1T is true that the treasury is in
a depleted condition. We have gone
on spending money with a lavish
hand, which we should not have
done. The Baltimore platform
pledged the Democratic party to rigid
economy in expenditures. On the
contrary. Expenditures have been more
lavish than ever before. In many
directions they have exceeded all pre-
vious records. Economy has been a
watchword OF Democracy. That this
watch word should have lost its
meaning in these later days is not
reassuring. There would be no oc-
casion for the retention OF the tax on
sugar If decent economy were prac.
ticed in carrying on the affairs Of the
government. To my mind. even the
odious stamp tax is less odious thar
the tax on sugar want to protest
with all my might against this be
traysl OF Democratic pledges. Extrav
agance is fiourishing unchecked. Witt
even ordinary prudence we nigh
bring expenditures within the limits
OF income. II gricyes me to stand il
opposition to my party in this mat
ter. But | cannot make light of nj!
given word. | shall remain loyal Il
the pledge given and stand true t.
the people"
Then Mr.. Bailey voted against tbs
retention Of the duty on sugar.

SAN ANTONIO, July r. - Eight Thousand gaurdsmen now at Laredo, Texas, will be moved back from the border to one of the smaller towns on the railroad connecting Laredo and San Antonio. unless General Funston alters his plans announced today.

 The regular troops will be left at Laredo and a small detachment of the guardsmen but he said he would move most of 5000 away from the town, holding them at some point on the railway from whence they could be moved quickly to the border if their services were required. Reports from General Pershing and from bor- der commanders were characterized as routine.

 Record Crowd
fRx Review Leased Mire.l

CLEVELAND, July 17.-Coming di- rect from a winning preliminary cam paign in the half-mile circuit, Ben Earl, beautifully driven by Marvin Childs, clearly demonstrated his grand circuit class today at North Randall when he won the Edwards pacing stake, the first big feature of the 191e harness campaign, after one of the most bitterly contested battles in the history of the local classic. It was a race which kept the record opening crowd in qui vive from start to finish of every heat.
 Ben Earls performance was only one of many that thilled the crowd In three or four instances the con tests went into split hits, and in one, the 2:O7 pace, three winners were produced and an additional fourth heat was required. '~7o7.r

EPIDEMIC WAVES
 IN NEW YORK CITY
High Point Of Infantile Para lysis Passes, Due To
 Medicos' Efficiency
tey Review Leased wire.l

NEW YORK, July 1.-The epidemic of infantile paralysis here has been checked successfully, in the opinion of Health Commissioner Emerson who issued a statement tonight in which he said the dimunition in the number of cases and deaths indicated that the health authorities are reach ing the cases earlier ana are finding a way to control them.
 Mayor Mitchell issued a statement assuring persons who might have postponed visits to the city because of fear of the disease, that the danger of contracting it is almost nil. The proportion of new cases is slight when compared to the city's population and he expressed the belief that the high curve" of the epidemic has been passed. The statement included fig ures showing that the infant mortality rate last week. regarded as the high point of the epidemic, was 10 per cent lower than for the corresponding week last year.
 Word from Washington is awaited by Dr. Charles F.. Banks, in charge of the United States public health office. here, before he inaugurates a program relative to interstate traf- fife. More health officers from Wash ington also are expected to come here.
 The board of health extended from one to two weeks the quarantine on families in which infantile paralysis patients have died or recovered. The department. it was said. had found the period of incubation Is longer than at first believe. Nine moving pie ture theaters in the epidemic-stricken section of South Brooklyn. which have been closed. were allowed to resume business today.

HODGES REPEATS OFFICIALS TAKE
 OFFICE JAN. 1
That Will Be Nearly Two Months After Election, as
 Custom Is Now,

Little Rock, July 21.-There still seems to be disposition in some quarters to confuse the public mind with reference to the time when the county and statutory state officers who are to be elected in November take their oath and assume their of fees.
 Secretary of State Hodges, when his attention was called to a state ment being published that they will take their office before January 1, reiterated the statement previously made that the commissions will all be dated January 1. 1917. That will be nearly two months after the elec- ton, just as it is now. There is no law fixing the date, but MT. Hodges says that all agree it should be uni form for all counties, and that 90 per cent of those from whom he has heard an expression say that January 1 will be satisfactory. To permit officers to qualify as soon as the elec- ton commissioners certify their elec- ton would he to produce untold con fusion.
 To fix January 1 as the uniform date can do no injustice to lhe incom- ing officials, since they will have two years anyway. and unavOidably it will give the incumbent officials two months more that they would other wise serve.

SANE AND INSANE
 AT THE SAME TIME

New Orleans. July 21.-Federal Judge Foster, in an opinion today dismissing without prejudice suits of Ferdinand Waugh Gasque for division of his mothers $600,000 estate, held that while under decree of the chan cery court Gasque may be sane in Tennessee. but he is insane in Louis- jana. until an interdiction of the Louisiana court is set aside. Gasque's appeal from the Louisiana state court verdict declaring him insane is pend- ing before the United States court.
 A few years ago Gasque shot and wounded his mothers coachman here, and shortly afterward was adjudged insane. While fighting the case he went to Memphis and established a domicile and obtained court decree declaring him sane. Later he filed a bill in federal court for an account ing and partition of his mothers estate, which suit Judge Foster today dismissed.

ENORMOUS NAVAL
 APPROPRIATION PASSES SENATE
Prviding for 157 ~Ships in Three Years, Bill Carries
 $315, ,826,843.

Washington, July 21.-The naval appropriation bill, with a three-year building program including the imme- diate construction of four super dreadnaughts, four great battle cruisers and 58 other craft, passed the senate late today by vote of Fl to 8. It carries $315, 5,826,843 or $45,- 857,588 more than the total as the measure passed the house.
 Many proposals to curtail the enor- nous building amendments written in- to the measure by the senate naval committee were defeated overwhelm- ingly, and, as soon as final passage was announced, the senate voted to in- sist on it's amendments and sent the bill at once to conference.
 The house expected to insist upon it's building program, and long struggle is in prospect before agree ment is reached.
 Two Democrats, Senators Thomas and Vardaman, and six Republicans, Senators Clapp, Curtis, Gronaa, La Toilette, Norris and Works, voted against the bill, which had the support of both parties during the week of debate that preceded passage.
 Senators Tillman, Swanson and Lodge were appointed conferees on the bill. The house conferees will be chosen Tuesday.
 Construction of 157 vessels, includ- ing 16 capital fighting ships, within three years at an estimated cost of $588, ,1SO,576, is contemplated in the senate program. Of the total appro- priations in the bill, $110,726,160 is for the first years building expendi- lures.
 The vote was delayed by renewal of the controversy between Senator Reed of Missouri and Senator Oliver of Pennsylvania. Senator Penrose during MT. Reeds absence from the chamber got the unanimous consent of the senate to print as public document the Bethlehem Steel com pany's published arguments against government armor plate plant. When Senator Reed returned and learned of it, he denounced the action as shameless proposition and an statements were false and misleading. Senator Oliver challenged MT. Reed to show the statements he referred to.
 Reed Roasts Oliver.
 "The senator from Pennsylvania" Senator Reed replied, "had the cool assurance, after admitting that he owned steel stock, to stand up here and attempt to vote money into his own pocket by supporting bill which would help the Bethlehem Steel company. If the senator were a judge, he would not be permitted to vote on this issue"
 Senator Oliver denounced the state ment, asserting that Senator Reed was attempting to avoid his chal- lenge.
 q say" continued Senator Reed, ''that the senator from Pennsylvania on this floor admitted he owned a large amount of stock and that this
