HOMER MODS

The attempt of Homer Cummings
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, to saddle the blame on
the Republican party for the distress
visited on the country by the failure
of appropriation bills in the last
Congress will not get anywhere.
Practically every one of those bills
was sent from the Democratic House
to the Democratic Senate during the
last week Of Congress, after the
House committee had log-rolled and
mullcd them over for months. They
came to the Senate in fearful mess
and would have required, under the
best Of conditions, weeks to make
presentable. An example is taken at
random from the Army Appropriation
bill, under the head Of Quar-
Supplies, equipment, etc.,-the Re-
serve Officers Training Corps was
recommended by the House for an
appropriation of $3,000,000, but when
the bill had passed the House and
arrived in the Senate this item carried
$500 whether through error or design
could rot be determined. The Senate
committee amended it to $5,OO0,OOO.
But there were great many errors
of this sort, and some still more gric-
vous. if conditions are as sad as Mr..
Cummings declares them to be in at
tempting to fi% Republican RESPONSE
bility-- and it is admitted they are
the rem dy is right within reach: Let
Mr. Cummings prevail on President
Wilson to withdraw from his stub
born position and declare an extra
session of Congress. Then all the
appropriation bills will be passed and
the reconstruction measures will be
taken up by the party which knows
best how to lcgislate. Cummings
position seems to be that the Repub-
lean panty black lacked the country,
which is false, and that head of the
Democratic party refuses to resusci-
tote it, which is true.

Puss in Boots
Jr.
By David Cory.

GCT OOR here, Mr.. Drake" cried
Puss Junior, walking up
- to the brook, the little
man with his gun is coming back to
take a shot at you. You had better
swim away"
Thank you" replied the drake,
I'LL keep my eyes open, never fear"
And Just then the little man re-
turned in a great hurry, for MS
wife had already made a FIRE TO
roast the duck and he wanted to
shoot the drake and get home again
as soon as possible. He climbed
over the fence and hurried toward
the brook.
Little Tom Thumb, who had erept
out of Puss Juniors pocket, sat
down on a toadstool nearby to
watch the fun. And pretty soon the
little man came up, all out OF
breath, for his gun was very large
and his bullets were large, too, and
heavy, for they were made OF lead.
The drake was a-swimming with
his curly tail,
The little man made II has mark,

He let of his gun, but he hred too

and he looked very disappointed.

duck" he asked, turning to Puss
and Tom.

IN

Then come with me-" said the
little man, and he led them across
the road and down the lane to his
house. And just as they entered
the front gate the oder Of roast
duck came through the kitchen
window, and all three smacked then
lips and said: Doesn't it small
good?" which was stranger still.

saying the same thing at the same

Thumb-"will not eat much, I'm

seems to have the manners OF a
gentleman. and therefore will not
ask for more than his share. We
shall have enough and to spare,

lady shook hands with Puss and
Tom Thumb. And pretty soon after
that they all sat down to eat, and
when the meal was over Puss prom
