Give Plenty and Use II Right

tBiGdeferd Journaib
Nobody will question the state
ment that some money is needed
and may be iesi1imately expended IN
a presidential campaign, but VINO
can fix tine exact dividing line be-
tween too much and too little? One
hundred million dollars might be
used legitimately in reaching nifty
million voters. while a fund OF
few thousand dollars might be put
to illegitimate use. Therefore, II
isn't so much the size of the fund
as the way it is expended. Much of
the publicity which creates interest
in a campaign costs political parties
nothing, but this fact does not can
eel the need of much publicity that
can be gained only at considerable
expense. And after all is said and
done, both parties can use legiti-
mately all the money they can legi-
tinately raise.

RIGHT, AS USUAL.

Lets quit de%magoguing about Great

Il free Virgin Islands. / don't care

ain."-Washington Dispatch.
Senator KenyonSis right in this atti-
tude. as he usually is. 1t may be that
ireland is entitled to independence.
That is not the question. The Philip
pine Islands may also be entitled to
independence. but how soon our people
would resent it if the question were
seriously discussed in the British par
lament Or if prOpagandiStS were going
up and down the British nation ma
ligning the United States for not act
ing in that mater. Hawaii is also ask
ing for more independence, but tho
people of England are not demaniing
that the United States government give
Hawaii all she wants. Fact Of the
matter is, many politicians in this coun-
try see a chance to secure some Irish
votes by playing the demagogue with
the Irish question and they are work
ing it for all it is worth.
THE Irish question" is not one that
can be settled by this country, hence
this agitation is doing more harm tiian

A BIG DROP.

Soon after the United States supreme
court had handed down its decision to
the effect that stock dividends, that is
the transfer of stock to stockholders to
represent SURPRISES > or profits upon
which the regular income tax had been
collected, were not subject to a further
tax, it was heralded oven the country
that the loss to the government would
be from $500,O00,O00 to S1,00O.0O0,000
This estimate, it appears, vas far too
high, as the following dispatch, sent
out from Washington Il few days ago,
proves: The total loss to the govern
ment as the result of the supreme court
decision that stock dividends are not
taxable will not exceed twenty-five
millions of dollars, in the opinion Of
most treasury experts Why, the re-
fusal of the president to buy the Cuban
sugar crop last summer is costing the
people almost that much every week.
But won't Arthur Brisbane be greatly
disappointed at this comparatively
small loss to the government because
of that supreme court ruling? 1t was
furnishing him a pastime to tell the
country almost daily in his column in
the Chicago Herald-EXaminer that the
vicious ruling of the highest court in
the land would cost the taxpayers
about a billion dollars.

Tile press agent who has written 4
story of the secretaries of agricultural
and hcralds Il. r. Meredith as a new
type of man. may not have served the
interests of the new secretary as much
as he hoped. For, instance he says:
The Department of Agriculture
has gone in for two types of secretary
The type which has predominated
through most of its existence has
grown copious crops Of whiskers. has
marked back to the good old days of
whiting sticks at the corner grocery,
has harbored a pair of brogans in its
closet. reminiscent of earlier times.
Is s. The second type has been
from the college classrOomS. y
But here comes a new type. Secretary
Meredith has none of the earmarks of
the farmer.i
The first secretary of agriculture
was appointed by Grover Cleveland in
the closing months of his first term.
His name was Norman J.. Coleman and
he hailed from Missouri. He held
Office for a very short time and had
little opportunity to show what he
could do.
jeremiah NJ. Rusk was appointed by
President Harrison and held the posi-
ton until the SECOND administration of
Grover Cleveland came into power.
MI. Rusk was Il real farmer. had been
governor of Wisconsin and was a man
of fine ability, though it might be said
that he was the Kind who ''harbored a
pair of brOgans," rather than IL pair of
silk slippers. He made an excellent
record.
j. Sterling Morton of Nebraska sue
ceeded Mr.. Rusk. Mr.. Morton was a
genuine farmer and is entitled to the
credit of originating Arbor Day. He
was also n successful business man
and left the department in an unprov-
ed condition by his service.
But the man who made the depart
ment of agriculture greats was james
Wilson of Iowa. Mr.. Wilson filled the
position to its brim. lie was appointed
