Inerease-and the Reason.

Going up. The cost Of the war.
Every week sees an increase in the
estimates which are submitted to Con-
gress to cover the first years expen-
ses; and few people at the capital
think that less than twenty billions
will be needed to carry us through to
to the end Of the fiscal year next June.
1t is evident that some Of the earlier
estimates were grossly reduced from
anything which the facts would war
rant-or that there has been an ex-
ceptional amount Of folly in the maxi
ing of expenditures. One instance has
come to light in connection with the
construction Of the cantonments for
the national army. The Northern
troops who are to be taken South for
training-that is. the National Guard
units Of those troops-have been noti-
fed that they will have to live under
canvas and in tents which will have
no floors. The reason assigned is that
the War Department is short Of mon
cy for the better equipment of the
camps. And the reason for that reas-
on is, of course, that the foolish cost
plus system of letting contracts for
army construction has driven un-
scrupulous contractors to pay any
price for materials and labor. knowing
that they will get It all back with the
added percentage Of profit-and the
higher the cost the larger the profit.

How Kaiser Defined Autocracy.

An article in a recent issue Of the
Iawrenceburg (Tenn) Union contains
an interesting quotation from a plead
irG in a suit in which the emperor of
from the estate of a former German
subject who had died in Missouri The
Plaintiff alleged that he is the abso-
lutte monarch of the kingdom Of Prus-
STA, and as king thereof is the sole
government of that country; that he
is unrestrained by any constitution or
law, and that his will. expressed III
due form, IS the only law of that coun-
try, and is the only legal power known
TO exist as law"
There you have autocracy self-de-
fined. "Unrestrained by any consti-
tuition or law! The antithesis Of au-
tocracy is democracy. In democ-
racy there is no monarch, but a public
servant instead. The public servant
In a democracy is restrained by con-
stitution and law" Whenever the
public servant begins to disregard the
restraints OF constitution and law, to
that extent he endeavors to substi-
tute autocracy for democracy. BY
publishing that quotation from the
Kaisers petition in lawsuit in
American courts, the Lawrenceburg
I-piop has ms6a an ;pterac<io~ ,od

A Man Of Experience.

1t is fortunate for the Senate and
the country that in these times of in
tensive food conservation and canning
we have. in the person Of Senator Bert
M. Fernald of Maine. man who has
been in the canning business for many
years, and is former president of the
National Gamers Association. Mr..
Fernald is able to give his colleagues
most valuable information on the sup
ply Of cans. tinplate production. yields
Of various products suitable for can
ming. and the technique of the indus
try. Mr.. Fernald knows most of the
Gamers Of the country, and is salts
fed that there is no combination
among them to influence prices. Goods
are sold by them in carload lots. and
in Maine have to be disposed of be-
fore freezing weather sets in. The
sales are negotiated usually in the
early spring, before the pack COM
mences. and the uncertainty of the
crops often causes loss to the Gamers.

alteration Of expediency alleged exam
pies are given OF localities and events Az
suffrage states, chiefly Colorado, WneFsis
results are claimed to indicate retroGres-
sion in political life. All such incidents
are subject to three inquiries. First. are

to give II consideration.
1T is interesting to know that only the
desperate efforts of certain interests

these appalling conditions and even these

no state and altogether TO occurrences

When nature with a mission grave
Was by the Lord endowed,
She painted on the sea a wave
And on the sky cloud.
And on the land she drew a hill:
And on the hill a tree,
And in the vale she placed a rill
That Travelled TO the sea.
And then. progressing without doubt.
She took a little brush,
And in the stream she placed a trout.
And on the tree thrush,
And on the waves she painted foam.
And roses in the wild
And in the shelter Of a home
A woman and a child
And did all this perfection bring
All no. Experience shows
She caused the little thrush to sing;
Gave perfume to the rose,
And best Of ALL the artist wise;
And in her happiest style,
Put love into the woman's ewes
And made the baby smile,
