Would you like to listen to a Fourth of July speaker|" of the day. —_— That minister who says the wed- ding fee is a form of graft is not hearing many “amens” from the brethren. Wouldn’t it add to our beauty if we couyld have the entire dock of concrete? What’s the matter with adding a little to it each year. An inquirer wants to know what is good for potato bugs. It’s our opinion that they thrive best on po- tato vines, although some people feed them paris green. See that a pending extradition treaty with Paraguay will soon re- move the last place on earth where criminals ‘may flee from the United States to escape punishment.—Ex. Our Billion Dollar Congress. About once a year this country wakes up to the fact that it has had another billion-dollar congress. Then there is an outery against govern- ment extravagance. But it is late to protest. The fourteen great appropriation bills which suck this huge sum from the treasury have too one by one been passed and signed. The staggering total is only reached when the last of these bills has be- come a law. Then congress and the country realizes it has been extrava- gant again. But nothing can be done. The horse has fled and it does no good to lock the barn door after him. Representdtive Swager Sherley of Kentucky, has an appropriation plan which he believes will put an end to this extravagance, but which will provide adequate government reve- nues and expenditures. It is'the much talked about budget system. The budget system provides at the beginning of each session Congress shall determine how much money it can spend as a total will be determined before a single one of the appropriation bills are drawn. The entire debate will be on the to- tal. After Congress, after estimat- ing its probable revenues for the com- ing year, determines upon the total expenditure, then certain portions will be allotted to each appropriation pill, and the various appropriating committees will be required to keep their estimates within the amounts specified for them. The important thing in the plan is that the country will know beforehand what Congress intends to expend rather than after the expenditure is made. Then, if there is protest against the size of any budget, Congress can scale down on its-estimates. This figure It is not necessary to go into de- tails of the plan as outlined in a reso- lution which has been introduced by Sherley. In the main it provides for a mew ‘Budget Committee of the House, ‘which shall report its total estimate of expenditures at the be- ginning of each session. The House will then debate on this estimate. The result will be that when an “amount is ‘agreed upon, the people Wwho pay the taxes and stand the ex- penses of government will under- standsv thoroughly how much the con- gress is-going to cost them. Under the present system, the amount.to be appropriated is usually in ‘doubt un- til'the closing days of each session. The; government of the Unfted States is the greatest business insti- tution in the world. Its annual re- ceipts and - expenditures - are = over $1,000,000,000. -Yet it is run in an unbusinesslike . manner. Each- de- partment argues for increased appro- - ~priations regardless of the:needs: of _ -other departments or of the - total -revenues - to ‘be . collected by -the ~Representative - ‘Sherley is one of the.most brilliant of the young Dem- ‘About fifty years ago a slender, modest appearing man edged his way hesitatingly out upon a London lec- ture platform before a large audience of phlegmatic Britishers, and with every evidence of failing courage and embarrassment proceeded to poke fun at the Tower of London and every cherished - British tradition. This was Artemus Ward, His winning personality and the contrast between his apparent shyness and the extra- vagance of his statements won him instant success in England. They loved him for his “nerve,” and they took to the quality of his humor, which in its boisterousness and ab- surd exaggeration was “distinctively American. Artemus Ward was the firstAmeri- can contributor to London “Punch”; he worte that periodical many let- ters which were read with delight throughout England. In fact, his success abroad was much greater than any he had achieved at home, and there was tragedy in his death, which came very soon after he be- gan his work in England, and just as he was reaping some rewards for many years of struggle. For Browne was like most of our other early humorists, in that he was a rolling stone. Artemus Ward, like Josh Billings and many other contemporaries, de- veloped an extravagant system of spelling. As we of this generation at- tempt to read his works at any length, we find less to amuse us.than in the writings of Josh Billings, for instance. He lacked the undercur- rent of philosophy that Josh Billings possessed. Yet his fame in his own day was greater than that of Bill- ings. Charles Farrar Browne was borne in Waterford, Maine, on April 26, 1834, and died in Southampton, Eng- land, on March 6, 1867. By trade he was a journeyman printer, and traveled from one end of the land to the other following his trade. The true humorist must of necessity have a-wide knowledge of human nature, and these early American humorists were given great opportunity to meet _ A Good Investment, W. D. Magli a well known merch- ant of Whitemound, Wis., bought a stock of Chamberlain’s medicine so as to be able to supply them to his cus- tomers. After receiving them he was himself taken sick and says that one small bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea remedy was worth more to him than the cost of his entire stock of these medicines.
