THE WILSON JOY JAUNT
$l,651,1 Spent According to Account
Submitted by the President.

On the 9Th inst, President Wilson
submitted to congress an account Of
the expenses Of the American peace
mission 20 Paris, showing that 81, 65l,
1871 was spent in negotiating the treaty
which later failed of ratification in the
senate
Most of the money was spent at the
Hotel Crilion, where the peace mission
was quartered The account disclosed
that the American mission became so
large that additional quarters bad to
be secured for the overflow in other
hotels in Paris Hire and laundry of
linen cost the mission $64, 900 There
were frequent large items for com
pressed air
Salaries Of members Of the mission
cost the government 5000, SRI Col E.
M House and Henry White. members
of the mission. who were not officials
of the government, received salaries Of
81 600 month Most of members Of
the mission received a per diem
allowance of "a day for subsistence.
but there was special allowance Of
25 day for this propose to Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor At frequent in
tervals in the account there are items
of 81 GOO and 81, 500 paid to Admiral
Cary r Grayson for confidential ex-
penses Of the president.
Special missions from Paris to vari-
GUS countries cost $3.50, TIC When the
American mission left the Hotel Crillon
the account showed Sl25. 600 waa paid
over TO the owners Of the hotel for
damages and breakage
No reference is made to the enormous
sum spent on the famous and FRAUDULENT
George Creel who was employed to
laud The administration, suppress facts,
etc.
According to Secretary of the Treas
ury Houston who submitted report
the same day, the net cost Of the world
war TO the American government was
fixed at spa, Ol0. oO0 600.
Considering the time we were en-
gagged in the war, there is little doubt
but what this vast sum will be THE
monument Of extravaganza for all
time.
This, together with the shameful
management Of financial affairs by the
Democratic party Of America during
ITS existence. ia an sufficient to wonder
why it has a single follower.

MAC SWINEY DIES
OF HUNGER STRIKE
Lord Mayor Of Cork Succumbs

MacSwiney was unconscious for
thirty-six hours before his death, 1t

was unable to give him communion

The cause of MacSwiney's death was

regarding Mrs. MacSwiney's absence

which were recently imposed upon the
visits Of relatives were urged by the
attending physicians as vital to the
prisoners own interests.
Terence MacSwiney was 40 years
old and was one of the most prominent
Sim Feiners. He started life as
Diapers assistant, but became a poet,
author and a playwright before tax

became violently anti-English.
MacSwiney's hunger strike was be-

his associates, he was arrested by SOL

great pains are taken for its fitting
reception, but by which too often
the higher home principles are
supplunted and through which
thousands of the youths of these
homes get their first lessons in the
gambling science" and from
which they go into the gambling
world soon to become finished
products of the profession. There
is n reason, than, for the severity
of the law regarding such evil.
But the pity of the matter is the
law is helpless in dealing with it
because it is so intrenchcd with n
sentiment created cut of attitude
of social leaders and even some
religious institutions. But those
who would be worthy citizens, to
say nothing of protesting christ
ians, should hold their heads in
shame if they are participants in
such law violations in a full con-
sciOusness of the guilt of the prac-
tise. We must believe that many
of these participants are ignorant
of the guilt of their social acts
concerning this wrong. They are
too otherwise clean and good to
be thought of living in a con
seriousness of being self-etfected
criminals. We do not think that
such guilt exist among the we'll
meaning people of our communi-
ties. But the evil is in our midst
and it is seriously destructive of
homes and individual characters
and christian life from the
churches and human hearts and
leaving but a cold non-attractive
profession.
SO, we repeat, if we have lit
erary ammunition at our com
mand, or are providentially or
naturally provided with any sort
of effective weapon, let us strike
at the law-breaking menaces near
est at hand. If "what is sauce
for the goose is sauce for the
gander' then let us apply the
same principle of indiscrimination
to the political ganders who pre-
fer booze and to the local gooses
who enjoy the entertainment of
socialized gambling.
