n-Representative Joseph
w. Byrns (Dem., Tenn.), Chairman
of the Appropriations Committee, in
his fiscal review at the end of the
session of Congress shows that the
actual reductions from the Presidents
budget amount to 1884, 100000.
Mr.. Byrns says:
1.-The total amount of these esti-
mates, exclusive Of the permanent APP
preparations, is $4,643,945 1860.
The total appropriations, exclusive of
permanent appropriations, is S4,309,-
651,102.72, making a total reduction
of estimates submitted Of 1894 ,294, :
094.18. Of this amount, 69,248,594
represents the reductions named in
the estimates for the regular annual
supply bills; $15,045, ,500.1S represents
the reductions in estimates for the
deficiency and miscellaneous bills,
and $150,000,000, the amount of
money estimated to be saved under
the provisions of the economy bill"
Mr.. Byrns continues:
"The total appropriations for the
fiscal year 1882 amount to $5,026, ,046-
098.18. The appropriations for the
fiscal year 1888 amount to $3,SS6,l92-
479.24. This shows an actual reduc-
tion in appropriations for the fiscal
year 1888 Of $1,139, 1853, 1884 under
those for the last fiscal year"
Of this reduction, Chairman Byrns
says:
"This is a remarkable showing and
demonstrates to the country that
Congress has responded to the appeal
Of the nation for a drastic reduction
in government expenses. There can
be no doubt but that the record made
b ythis Congress at its first session
is unequaled by any previous session
Of Congress in peacetime."

The present National Road, in Bel
mont county, after crossing the
tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad company at grade, proceeds
westerly over Wheeling Creek and
within the next one and one-quartel
miles, climbs a distance Of about SOC
feet on steep grades and winding
alignment. Traffic descending The
hill is cautioned to stay in SECOND
gear while the ascent must usually
be made in low gear because of the
necessity for keeping behind slow
moving vehicles on the existing IL
feet of pavement. Many accident
have occurred on this account as wei
as on account Of the grade crossing
which, being located at the base of a
steep hill in foggy territory and nor
mally serving heavy railroad traffic
is exceptionally hazardous.
The proposed improvement consists
of the construction of an 11-spal
viaduct which clears the B. & o

OF Wide Interest
The development of the National
Road to meet the constantly increas
ing demands of highway transporta
tion has always been of wide public
interest. This improvement, through
the difficult topography of the Bel
mont county hills, is the latest o.
several made since Ebenezer Zane
cut his 'trace" through this terri
tory and to those who are familiar
with the history of the National
Road, the completion of the improve
ment of Blaine Hip will mark an
other milestone in its development as
a transportation artery.
Much work remains to be done
throughout the state of Ohio on the
National Road before it is completely
modernized. This is proceeding each
year within the amount of money
available. The improvement above
described corrects a situation on the
National Road which can be truth
fully portrayed as the most annoy
ing in Ohio or in any other state
In doing the work at this time it is
felt that the cost will be at min
imum; employment will be brought
to sorely beset community and one
of the prime obstacles to the full de
velopment of the National Road will

The Hoover Doctrine.

Addressing the American Conference
on International Justice in Washington
last night. Acting Secretary of State
Castle elaborated in graphic terms the
Hoover doctrine" Of non-recognition of
territorial gains obtained in violation
Of the Kellogg pact This principle
the outlawry of conquest, as it has been
aptly described-was laid down in the
United States Government note to
Japan and China on January 8. reaf-
frmed in Secretary Stimson's letter to
Senator Borah on February % and
accepted by the League of Nations on
March H.
The Hoover doctrine" has, thus, in
very real sense, become the law of
the world It's implications are destined
to be much further reaching than the
immediate cause which produced the
doctrines promulgation-the japanese
occupation of Manchuria. 1t becomes
a Stop, Look and Listen admonition
which future aggreSsors will fiout to
their own undoing, The Hoover ooc-
trine beclouds the title of territorial
aggrandizement achieved by might at
the expense of right. 1t is designed to
depopularize the old pastime Of land
grabbing by branding international
gunmen as outlaws and stigmatizing
their spoils as stolen property. The
Hoover doctrine of outlawed conquest
takes its place alongside the Hay doc
trine of the Open Door as a constructive
American contribution to the law Of
nations.

how our policy Of refusing recognition
of illicitly acquired territory puts teeth
in the Kellogg pact" sets forth that

Majority Of Press Approves
Refusal to Pardon Mooney

Although acknowledging that there
will be some dissatisfaction with the
verdict and that the case is probably
not closed. there seems to be a dis
position on the part of most Of the
press of the country to accept the wis
dom and sincerity of Gov. Rolph OF
California in refusing 10 pardon Tom
Mooney. .--...-'
The decision of Gov. Rolph deny
ing Moneys application for a pardon
is unquestionably In accord with the
opinion of the intelligent, fair-minded
public" says the San Jose Mercury
Herald, which contends that, while
the people of California have the real
background of the Mooney case, the
outside world has the propaganda
background" The Oakland Tribune
has this to say: THE Governors be-
lief that Communication. under the cir
cumstances, is impossible, and Moneys
insistence that he cannot accept a
parole. and will be content with moth
ing but a full pardon, are comph-
cations which make impossible any
compromise. With the records before
him and faced with full pardon or the
denial of the same, the Governor has
added his word to that of the Su-
preme Court of California and his
predecessors in office" AS the Boise
Idaho Statesman tersely phases It.:
Gov. Rolph thinks Mooney is guilty
and must be commended for his cour-
age in acting accordingly"
Analysing the question. the Oshkosh
Daily Northwestern says: 1t is true
that certain amount of perjured evl-
dence helped convict Mooney. That
has been admitted, at any rate. Yet
the Mooney sympathizers, with all the
food Of propaganda in his behalf, have
failed to introduce any new evidence
sufficient to sway four different Gov
ernors and the Supreme Court OF Cal
ifornia." AS the Columbus Ohio State
Journal puts it: -Four Governors. four
investigating committees. the California
Supreme Court and seven members OF
the United States Supreme Court, ali
of whom have unanimously agreed, GER
tainly cannot all be wrong
In the opinion of the Yakima Daily
Republic: The Governor is to be COM
mended for having the courage TO stand
fast. No convict in San quentin has
clearer title to his sentence than Tom
Mooney" The Oklahoma City Times,
however remarks: After reading
reams about the Mooney case, there re-
mains an element of doubt about his
guilt or innocence, but it is not fair TO
assume that those who have studied II
long wish to punish an innocent man.
And the advice of the Daily Oklahoman
is for AL who take any part whatso-
ever in this controversy to fortify them
selves With the facts before they either
demand t,lo release of the prisoner or
III ipnarnoPafiOf1 y
That the present decision will not be
considered a final Judgment IS the cpin-
ion of several papers. Apparently the
State Of California and the Nation have
not heard the last of the Mooney case,
says the ConnellSville Daily Courier.
Perjury is the worst crime on the
calendar" according to the Fort Worth
Star Telegram, which goes on to say
Perjury permeates the Mooney trial
and imprisonment Truth. under such
circumstances. when 'crush't to earth

The California Symptom.

The results of the California presi-
dental primaries, held on Tuesday, are
undoubtedly depressing to the hopes Of
Gov. Franklin d. Roosevelt of New
York. They are disappointing both
mathematically and symptomatically.
In the first place, forty-four votes are
taken from the prospective Roosevelt
column at the convention and placed
to the credit Of a candidate who Is
generally regarded as being in the race
primarily for the purpose of stopping

The Washington Cathedral.

The opening of the great choir and
sanctuary Of the Washington Cathedral
comes fittingly on this Ascension day.
Materially it marks long forward
step toward the realization Of COM
pleted temple of worship here which
will compare with the agelesS cathedrals
in which medieval Europe found ex-
preston for the tone-transcending
music of its heavenward yearning.
Spiritually it is more significant. The
widowed years of this era of disillusion
are clutching at the cross. The daugh-
ters OF time were welded to gaudy
dreams which are dead. They are
trooping like black k-garbed pilgrims
away from the confusion of their
broken homes to the changeless peace
of God
Even a year ago there might have
been evident in this historic event more
pride in the material achievement than
appreciation of the spiritual symbolism
Today the relative significance is trans
posed. The accomplishment of the
cathedral builders stands in a truer
light-the light OF the late Bishop
Satterlees vision when he projected in
Washington a house of worship for all
people.
The Nation was born in religion. The
forest was a cathedral and angel wings
fluttered beyond the chancel window of
its sunrise. During the centuries 1t
sometimes has wandered far in the lush
fields of the material which pass
through their cycles of blossoming
Springs and dead Autumns. There has
been much confusion of the passing
reality of the material and the eternal
reality Of the spiritual.
Religion is the everlasting element in
any society-that which underlies all
the external. visible changes, that which
survives when all these have ceased.
No medium available to man is capable
of expressing inadequately the deep
yearning, the sense of the reality Of the
invisible, which surges in the human
spirit. The most satisfactory medium
is the most lasting-blocks of the bodies
of the eternal hills.
The great cathedral still is far from
complete. Yet already it is fulfilling the
purpose of those who planned it. To
the unthinking it brings sense of
reverence, to the unbeliever question
ing of heart, to the faithful reinsurance,
to the weary rest. 1t represents an
effort by men of tumultuous and reck-
less time to offer their most perfect
material act of worship to their God,
and as an expression of their aspiration
to serve their fellow men.

1. puts Mr.. Garner in q somewhat

broader category for the present.
The symptomatic aspect Of the Cali
fornia vote is quite as serious a disap-
pointment to the Roosevelt interest.
Somewhat unwisely the voting was pre-
ceded by the utterance Of claims that
the Governor would sweep the Pacific
Coast State, that his popularity in the
Western section Of the country would
be particularly manifest there. With
the opposition divided between Garner
and Smith, it was the apparently con-
fident expectation Of the Albany head
quarters that the Roosevelt vote at the
primaries would be an impressive
majority, and not mere plurality. AS
the result stands disclosed at this hour,
with the returns practically complete,
Roosevelt polled only about thirty-three
per cent of the total vote, while Garner
took forty-one per cent and Smith
twenty-Six per cent. In other words,
the outstanding favorite, according to
the Albany claims before the primary,
ran a poor minority race.
The moral effect Of the California
result cannot be otherwise than In
furious to the Roosevelt pre-convention
campaign. According to some compu-
tations, this turnover to Garner in the
Golden State raises the anti-Roose-
velt strength as at present indi-
Gated to 467 votes, or 80 more than the
one third necessary to prevent a nom
ination on the first ballot. These fig
ures, of course, are not absolute. They
include all the favorite-son strength at
present allotted, some of which may
conceivably be won by Roosevelt IN
the readjustment which always follows
the initial paying of compliments. But
it has all along been the claim of the
anti Roosevelt forces that if he could
not win the nomination at once he
would inevitably lose in deadlock, and
the California result quite plainly points
now to a protracted struggle at Chi
cago, the end of which is beyond
prediction.

entry into the League of Nations and
the cancellation of the debts owed this
Government by foreign nations. 1t still
remains a fact that Roosevelt has dem-
onstrated popularity in the primaries
and State conventions in New England,
New York (the Buffalo district, where
he beat SMITH Wisconsin. Michigan,
the Dakotas and many other States.
