THE COST OF GOVERNMENT.

1t will cost you 3.940 millions of dollars next year
to Fay the expenses OF government
There is great rejoicing in administration circles
because this is "a millions of dollars less than
the estimates August.
The saving of "a millions is important OF greater
import is the gigantic total necessary to be raised
by taxation.
Out OF this sum the small and insignificant
Of rs millions goes for good roads
But a thousand millions go to keep up battIeship
building and military establishments
OF this great sum- too, is the five hundred millions
OF interests due every year from the countries TO
which your dollars were loaned during the war
and of which is being paid
You viii pay this sum because it goes out as in
terest your own Liberty bonds. until these ma
tons pay.
While negIectng TO pay its debts Great Britain
according TO an announcement yesterday in the
House Of Commons, pays out 20 cents Of every dollar
Of its taxes for batteships and war purposes.
The figures are so stupendous in their totals as

something every time you ride on railway train

The tax YOU pay those occasions goes to make
up this total
Is it not time for a straight forward American de-
mand to be made upon these nations to lay their

hunger much for style;
For an empty man wants film an
you can't do that with things
Like breast o guinea under glass,

You want just plane home cookin

For a piece o. bread an gravy when
you've finished up your plate.

But the meals which suit my fancy

With the food right on the table an

An the knowledge in their presence

That I'd like some bread an gravy

Sic public pUlSo

None but honest and clean people
will be considered and graft of any
| kind, which is the root of practi-
caIly all civic evils, must be abso-
lutely banished from our city gov
eminent"
One Of the most insidious objec-
tons raised to Mr.. BilinsBi's candi-
dacy consists in Directing to the
spelling of his name. Mr., Roosevelt
was thinking Of just such Un-Ameri-
cans when he said in a speech at
/ Denver. Colo, ANY man who tries
TO excite class hatred, sectional
hate, hate of creeds, any kind of ha-
tired, in our community, though he
/ may affect to DO it in the interest
| of the class he is addressing. is that
class own worst enemy" 1t will be
! observed that MIR. Bilinski was born
/ in ColdWater, Mich, and 10 feel any
/ prejudice on account of his origin
or on account of the origin OF some
/ of his supporters is to repudiate the
very principles upon which this re-
public was fOunded-the PRINCIPLES
! of equality and of proper represen-
tation. If the supporters of the re-
publican candidate establish class
distinction Sased on origin they can
\ be trusted TO discriminate against
the worker, against the poor and
any who are not their own.
/ The present candidates of the de-
mocratic party are such that we can
be justly proud of each and every
one OF them. They can all be trust
ed TO remain true servants Of the
people not only by their proper en-
forcement Of the laws but also by
the constructive measures they will
take to lessen unemployment and
promote general progress. Each re-
publican candidate has an album
dance of wealth that the CORES
ponding democrat candi6Nsa does
not possess. and this is an additional
reason why the democratic candi-
dates can be trusted TO represent
the people and to think Of the needs
Of the distant parts Of the city where
the workers homes can be found.
The Harding conference on unem-
lployment has confessed that il can
~ uolnlA6 10 SOlkt the UTODl6rn
except TO suggest that the cities
do il themselves. 1t is then import
ant that our city administration
have officials who are on the work
ers' side and a mayor OF business
ability who understands the needs
OF the city in a practical way as
does Mr. Bilinski.
| Women voters will realize that the
republican party wants them only
for their votes and their money.
The democratic party alone has two
women candidates. We think enough
OF law enforcement that we want 70
give these women OF sterling charac-
ter an opportunity TO exert their In
fluence for good and make women
the factor they should be in re-
moving dishonest partisanship. With
"a perfect ticket and a platform bas-
led on sincerity and an effective de-
sire for law enforcement, construct
iveness. fairness to all classes. and
a complete absence OF graft il be-
comes the duty OF every citizen &c

An I'm glad I'm Twin when the

An I guess at every meal-time I'm
as happy as can be
For l like whatever dishes Mother

But there's just one bit Of eatin'
which l hold supremacy great,
An that's good old bread and gravy
when I've finished up my plate.
I've eaten fancy dishes an my mouth
has watered, too,
I've been at banquet tables an I've
run the good things through,
I've had sea food up in Boston, I've
had pompano down South,
For most everything that's edible
I've put into my mouth;
But the finest treat know of, now ]
publicly relate,
Is a chunk of bread an gravy when
I've finished up my plate.
