EVEN THAT MEANS ECONOMY Cost of Conducting the Government Has Increased Hugely—*“Pork Bar- rel” Will Be Demanded Again Next Year by Representatives. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—Congress is trying to be economical, but it is pretty nearly certain that Uncle Sam may consider himself lucky if he gets off with a drain on his purse of only one billion dollars as the result of appropriation legislation at this session. In the face ot present conditions of cost of government, a “billion dollar congress’ sounds like the acme of economy. The expression was used at one time to frighten the country in- to an attempt to persuade senators and representatives to retrench. It is not probable that the people would i be satisfied today with a congress that stopped - its expenditures at the bil- lion mark. The country needs many things, and it can’t get all or nearly all for the amount mamed. The billion dollar was succeeded by the two bil- lon dollar congress, and now the peo- ple are on the way to meeting with a three billion dollar congress. Congress is not to blame for the huge sums that must be spent for the support of the government industries. Of course there is some waste at times. Some of the public buildings authorized serve no particular purpose except that of making pleasant the ways of the congressmen of the fav- ored districts. It is likely also that some of the river and harbor surveys and the subsequent improvements are not worth the money expended upon them. In the main, however, money voted by congress goes to pay for things without which the country can. not get along. Always Want the “Pork Barrel,” then there is the Panama canal, to say nothing of expenditures for mainte- nance of governmental institutions, which are with us year in and year out and cannot be classed as extraor- dinary. There is no reason to doubt that because of the probable absence of a public buildings bill this year the pressure for one next year will be strong. The representatives always are urgent for an appropriation for public buildings, voted in the form of & bill which to the reverent and ir- reverent alike is known as the “pork barrel.” The ordinary public build- ings bill carries about $30,000,000. Every new member who comes to Washington in March is determined to vote against extravagance. His con- stituents have drilled into him the necessity of stopping some of the “aw- ful waste that goes on yearly in Wash- ington,” but he soon learns that the legitimate expenses of a government are heavy and that what the constit- uents consldered extravagance was merely money put into big ships, high- er pay for officers and men of the army and navy, the canal and other things without which the government could not progress. When the mem- bers become accustomed to dealing with huge figures it is not so hard to get their minds fixed on the “little ad- ditional” it will require to erect struc- tures in various parts of the Union. Henry’s Publicity Bill. There has been a campaign publicity bill already passed by congress. It provides that candidates for federal office shall make known their expendi- tures and the sources of their contri- butions during campaigns for the elec- tion, Now Representative Henry of Tex- as wants to go further and has intro- duced a bill providing for the pub- licity of contributions and expendi- tures incident to the nomination of candidates for president and vice- president. This bill, even if it passes, will not have any effect on the present campaign, but with seven or eight can- didates in the field, each of them con- ducting a lively literary campaign, to say nothing of verbal utterances, a good déal of money is being spent, and while there has been no intima- tion that any of it has come from sources that ought not to contribute, there Is still ltvely curiosity in Wash- ington to know where the coin comes from. If the Henry bill becomes a law, it is probable that four years from now the curiosity of the public will be satisfied, although doubtless it will be with reference to pecuniary assistance given to candidates other than those now in the field. A Dbill has been introduced into con- gress for the erection in Washington of a monument to Gen. George Gor- don Meade, who commanded the Union army at Gettysburg. The move- ment for a monument to Meade was started by the Pennsylvania Historical soclety some time ago. It does not seem to 'be so much a question in ‘Washington now as to whether or not Meade ought to be given a place for & statue In the national capital, as ‘Whether or not there is a proper place to put the statue. Washington is full of memorials of men who made their mark either in civil life or the mili- tary or naval professions, but the ten- dency is to cut down the number of statues for the fine arts commission thinks that statues are not so much to be preferred as trees, shrubbery, fountains and other things which na- ture can claim as its own. -|'enough td run about the calf resolute- The army must be supported, and )y repudiated its Jersey mother and. THE BEMIDJI DAILY chief. Wa-de-na in This is a chief of the full-blood White Earth Indians. They constitute less than one-fourth of the tribe, a ma- jority of the White Earth Chippewas being more white than Indian. Gus Beaulieu, whom Congressman Graham said it was a joke to call an Indian, is very~ near an average mixed-blood. The full-blood Indians are the omes who are reported diseased and desti- tute. That they are diseased has been known for years, and Congressman Steenerson and others have tried to get the Indian Bureau to help them. NEVER FORGOT ITS ENMITY: Colt’s Repugnance to Calf Grew Until It Included Every Specles of the Bovine . On a stock farm near Syracuse, N. Y., a calf and colt were born on the same day. So soon as it was old insisted on being fed by the mare. Regularly every morning the calf ‘would watch its chance for breakfast when the colt was kicking wup its heels at the other end of the pasture, | and would hurry to the good-natured | mare, who seemed to develop a real affection for her foster baby and was quite willing to mother it. To this, however, her own offspring strenuous- ly objected. So soon as it observed the calf enjoying the nourishment which it considered its own exclusive right, the colt would charge on the in- terloper and, grabbing it firmly by the back of the neck, would yank it away from the maternal fount and take its 'place. - So, far from forgetting its youthful enmity for the calf, the colt has grown up hating everything bovine. The farmer has had to erect a high fence dividing the pasture, and to keep cows and horses separated. The colt other- wise tractable in every way, goes wild with rage at sight of a cow, and attacks her with hoofs and teeth. For this reason it is impossible to drive him in the country, and his owner is even obliged to stable him in a build- ing remote from sight and sound of the cowyard. MARKED BY MUCH COURTESY Transaction in English Country Store Caused Reflection on Part of Boston Woman. Letting a boy buy eggs in an Eng- lish country store brought home to a Boston woman the barbarian blunt. ness of her own townsmen, “The boy was aged about six, and he wanted three eggs,” she said. *“Pic- ture the transaction in a Boston store. In bounces the boy, slaps down the money, and shouts: ‘Gimme three eggs;’ the tradesman answers ‘All right, or maybe nothing at all, and the deal is closed. Not so in that English store. “Quietly the boy sidled up to the counter. From the other side a gray- haired grocer beamed upon him be- nevolently, and said, ‘Thank you? in- quiringly. “‘Three eggs, If you please, said the boy. ) *‘Thank you,’ said the grocer, and put the eggs into a paper bag. “The boy received the bag with an- other ‘Thank you,’ and ‘Thank you,’ replied the grocer when-he took the money. That required making change, which was effected with another in- terchange of ‘Thank you’s.’ Just count the civilities: Six ‘thank yous’ and one of you please’ to buy three eggs. In Boston you could do a Week’s mare keting on less courtesy.” Why He Had to Have an Office. An inherited fortune and the dis DPosal of an organized business enabled & well-known Chicagoan to retire. He had thé. inclination for leisure, but could not surrender the idea of having & definite business abiding spot. He rented an office in a loft building and went to Europe. After a six months absence he returned, looked the build- ing over and went to South- America. Then, after again veritying the report that the building was not crumbling, he took a jaunt to Japan. ml:ot long ago one of his old cronies “Frank, why don’t you give up your office—you don’t need it.” “That's true,” said Frank. “I would give it up, but I don’t know what te do with the rug.” PIONEER Summer (Quarters. If they are destitute it is the fault of the authorities on the reservation, for they have power to and are expected to issue rations to those in need. They were not affected by the Clapp act, which provides that only mixed- bloods could sell their lands. The ef- fort to connect their disease with the land_ legislation is ridiculous. They have been diseased for a generation, and they could not possibly be desti- tute if the Indian agent issues the ra- tions that are paid for from the tribal fund. Suiting the Question. The damage suit was on, and Bil dad’s chauffeur was testifying for the plaintiff. “Now, you say,” said the pompous lawyer for the defendant, “that at this point the two cars, traveling at the rate of 30 miles an hour, came to- gether head on, Then what did you do?” : The witnese gazed wearily at nis questioner. “Why,” he saiq, “I turned to my wife, who was brushing the baby’s hair in the torneau, and I said that I thought the dumplings must be done by this time—" “Bang!” interrupted the judge’s gavel. “Stenographer,” said his honor, “strike that foal answer from the rec- ord.” “And doesn’t the question go with it, judge?” asked thé witness meekly. “Sure!” said his honor, forgetting the dignity of his calling for the mo- went.—Harper's Weekly. Trusts. While the great moneyed and in- dustrial combinations of the present day, known as “trusts” are quite mod- ern affairs, it is true that the trust idea is almost as old as history. Un- der the Roman Empire, and even away back among the peoples of Egypt and the other eastern nations, we find the germs, at least, of the modern’ trust. The fundamental idea at the bottom of the doctrine of the present day trust is that of the ex- ploitation of the many by the few, and it was against such an idea that the Gracchi died in Rome, In fact, all an- cient history is little more than the story of the few combining for power and wealth against the many, and that is all that the trust of today weans ’ There neve'r was a time when peo- ple appreciated the real merits of 'Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy more than now. This is shown by the in- crease in sales and voluntary testi- monials from persons who have been cured by it.
