GOVERNMENT COSTS TO MOUNT.

During the past session of Congress, appro- priation measures were passed carrying a grand total of $4,62S,045.O35 This is the greatest sum ever spent by the United States Government in peace-time. But future years will see it eclipsed leaders in Congress both Democrats and Republicans agree upon that. The tendency, des- bite warning from leaders of thought in both parties, in recent years has been toward an ever increasing number of agencies in the Federal Government. Bureaus have been created over night to perform in many instances functions heretofore regarded purely State functions. and in others to do things which in the past were not considered in any wise necessary For every new Governmental agency brought into being, expenditures are created Of course the growth of the country accounts for of the
 increased cost of administration of its affairs, but lots of the increase is due to the growth of government by bureaucracy. And it is high time that a halt called to this sort of development in the government.

SMITHS NOMINATION CONCEDED.

Before the Democratic convention opened in Houston today the nomination of Gov A. E. Smith of New York as the party's Presidential candidate virtually conceded by his oppon- ents As first choice candidate the New York executive, who could not be seen by his party in 1924, had than $50 votes. These with the delegations supporting him second choice render it impossible for any opposition to make headway against him. Certainly Gov. Smith has fairly won the right to be his party's standard bearer In it's ranks there is who begins to approach his hold the rank and file of Democrats evidenced by his sweep of the West and East and his inroads in sections of the South where a vicious fight was waged against his candidacy.
 If the Democrats have chance to overturn the 1000, 900 majority by which Coolidge car ried the country in 1924 and many close students of political affairs concede them that chance, Gov. Smith is the only available candidate to take advantage of that opportunity. If he cannot lead the party of Jefferson, Jackson Cleveland and Wilson to victory this year, it is not in the cards for if to win at this time. The times seem ripe fer candidate of his caliber to go before the public and set forth the issues in terms that the average of voter understand and. understanding, vote intelligenty them.
 The tenor of the Houston despatches the of the convention to indicate Smiths 
 that attended that of Secretary Hoover at Kansas City two weeks ago. The opposition to the latter up to that time had been determined as that confronting Gov. Smith But the leaders of the Republican Party wisely realized that to block Hoover to go against the wishes of sub stantial majority of the party. The stua- tion prevails at Houston and the evidence seems that the Democratic leaders have decided to act as wisely as the opposition when it comes to se- lecting a nominee. It is to be hoped they will handle the platform with the lack of con- vention discord at Kansas City. The fights oyer the several blanks at the latter concave were kept within the walls of the committee Let the Democrats do likewise In this manner factional fights likely tc be engendered ton will be kept down a minimum if not entirely avoided.
 The Prohibition question should not be stumbling block in the final draft of the plat form. The nomination of Gov. Smith speaks for itself. His position that subject is too well known to make restatement of it in the plat form necessary He believes that the Eighteenth Amendment is out of accord with the vital prin- ciples of the republic; that Prohibition is a sub ject upon which the people of each individual State have right to exercise the controlling power that even under the Amendment as it now stands each State should have the right to say what is or is not an intoxicating beverage and main in effect in their present status, they should

They Cant Be Fooled.
(Daily Olympian.)


 Among the people who think that modern young people wild lot, bound straight for perdition, you cannot list the name of Miss Kuy- kendall, Dean of Women at Southwestern Uni versity, Georgetown Texas.
 Dean Kuykendall, addressing the biennial con- yention of the General Federation of Women's Clubs at San Antonio recently, made a stirring defense of modern youth, even going so far as to stand up for youths pet word, "Applesauce!" That word, she believes represents youths re- jection of the bunk that an earlier generation swallowed whole.
 "Our youth today is less creduous, less crude ly suggestibe, keener to detect insincerity and hokum than formerly" she declared.
 Their minds go straight to the bottom of things Youth is too keen to be misled by the things that msled the older generations. The old hokum of spurious religion does not appeal to them. The old hokum of convention does not appeal to them-though they are susceptible to much new hokum-jazz music betting. silly non sense and rough laughter"
 Undoubtedly, youth today is far from per feet It has it's faults, and they often not faults that it's parents had young people, But youth has made one great advance. It has its eyes open It has thrown aside the senti- mentalsm under which the former generation loved to cloak unpleasant and disagreeable facts it wants to know the worst about the world and govern itself accordingly. At the very worst, it is not gullbe.
 We may not like this We may prefer less sophisticated youth. But, after all, it is own fault. The world that is disillusionng young people is the world made. The World War, and what after it, the work of our generation and the preceding Is it any wonder if youth, surveying the into which the world fell in 1914 should decide that we are not so all-fired smart pretend?
 That the new, sophisticated young person is often disagreeable is undenable That this new young person, in pitching overheard many of our old traditions, has lost much that is valuable is equally undeniable Yet if, in the process the young person is getting wise to the world" the result will be an improvement
 We of the older generation have allowed our selves to be deceived by many things. If youth is going to avoid the pitfalls into which our blind trusting sentiment tasm led us the world can take hope.
