FEDERAL OUTLAWS ON A RACE COURSE

Your government in Washington is spending
your money at the rate of $14,1S5.75 per minute
Figure it out for yourself if there is any doubt
The official figures are that since July l, 1887
to March 2, 1888, the Federal expenditures raced
out of the treasury in the sum of $1,000, 715.449.
During the same period the expenditures of the
government exceeded the total revenue by total
of S1,121 246, 540.22.
Maks you dizzy even to write it down much less
to try to compute such immensely in money.
A bit further calculation and you discover that
the government spent each minute during that
period of eight months $3,17s.17 more than ii
took in.
And at this rate. it will emerge out of the hole
about as successfully as the frog that got out OF
the well by falling back two hops every time it
negotiated one iorward.-Charlotte Observer.

WHERE TRUTH is HIDDEN

Back from South American cruise, Mrs. Sarah
P Dean, of Greenville, widow of Colonel Alvin n.
Dean expresses amazement that South Americans
with whom she talked were both poorly Informed
and sometimes misinformed about world affairs.
The reason, of course, is censorship Of the press,
which is the greatest of all enemies of the cause OF
universal peace.
Only in America, England and few lesser lands

truth and the whole truth. Dictators could not
survive if they failed to stifle the newspapers.
Propaganda sometimes finds its way into free

ments and they may judge for themselves

not can be held in check by the people
And it is the only way to international harmony

DRIVING OUT TUBERCULOSIS

Seventy thousand persons die in the United

such campaign in the United States The drives are
started for the purpose of uncovering new and UNI
realized cases of tuberculosis, and to encourage
treatment of cases already known.
By bringing the disease forciby to the attention
of the nation, the association has done much to
prevent infectious spread, to place sufferers where
they may be cared for, and to uncover incpient
cases before they are actually into the illness state
All the association asks is that if you have any
weight, pain in chest continual coughing-you
