' What to do with the old cruisers ' '?Charleston, St. Louis and Milwaukee, j whether to overhaul them or not, is puzzling the n^.val authorities.

A I 'disconsolate, lonely little boy, un-j l&mbt and unwashed, is sitting on! the doorstep. Several rough, ragg?d I 'little fellows are peeping through the ! cracks of '.be fence. One of them S&ys: "Ain't you never going to come out and play no more, Theo dore?" 4 The real Democrats of New Jersey a?ve f^und a brave leader in Wood row Wilson. Only a man of the Wghest courage and honesty would have taken his political life In his lands as Mr. Wilson has done in fighting the senatorial ambitions of James Smith. Jr., who is put forth by the trusts. Wilson looms up as a presidential possibility. City men who take to farming usu-! ally are not very successful. Thatj is not the fault of the land but ot the man. If the city man who goes to the country would only recognize that farming is one of the most scientific of vocations and that he has much to Ib'irn and something to un-j leanr he would in all likelihood suc-j ceed where he now fails.

Borden of the Pension. Our enormous pension burden seems to worry some of the leading Northern newspapers. In reviewing the annual pension statistics recently issued the New York Sun asks, "Is there a statesman who will have the couraie to say aloud what he thinks of the figures in their relation to the national balance sheet?" When it is stated that the expenditures last year on pension account was - the enor mous sum of $159,974,056, and that the number of army and navy pen sioners of all classes on. the rolle at the end of the last fiscal year is 921,083, the enquiry of the Sun ap pears to be a very reasonable one. Such is the situation forty-five years after the end of the great con flict to which the pension expendi ture is mainly attributable. Yet it is now thirty-eight years since the chairman of the house committee on appropriations, Gen. James A. Gar field; entertaining a liberal view of the country's legitimate obligations in this respect, declared that the penson list was even then swollen beyond all account." "We may reas onably expect," said Garfield in 1872, "that the expenditures for pensions will hereafter steadily de crease, unless our legislation should be unaccountably extravagant." Since this warning was uttered thirty-eight years ago the grand army of pensioners, Instead of de creasing steadily, has increased fourfold. The annual expenditure at the time or Garfield's forecast was $34,000,000. Last year it was $160,000,000, within $2,000,000 of the total for the preceding year, the record year for pension expenditure. Since the civil war ended the nation has paid in military pensions and for the administration of the pension sys tem a little more than'four billion dollars. The exact figures of the stupendous aggregate are $4,094, 973,860.26. More than four thousand million dollars! A thousand million dol lars more than the total cost of the gigantic military operations which occupied the government during tbb four years from 1SC1 to 1865, In cluding the pay and sustenance of all the armies, the building and main tenance of all the fleets, the trans portation of troops, the recruiting anu bounties, the arms and ammunition and war material in every form;, in short, every item of government ex penditure on account of that great struggle, except the interest on mon ey borrowed wherewith to continue the fight, says the Sun. Four thousand million dollars in pensions atone. Almost four-fifths of the total estimated valuation?by tho census of I860, true valuation, not assessed?of all the property, real and personal, In all tho eleven Southern State? composing the Con federacy. Four thousand million dollars! More than ten times the to tal cost of the Panama canal, the greatest work of peace ever under taken by man In conclusion the Sun asks, "Is It necessary for pa triotism- to blink the main fact when considering' the question of federal taxation and expenditure and deficit? Broadly sp>aklhg one dollar in four of the nation's revenues from every source goes to the military pen sioner." ? i> a What is the Remedy? We fully agree with the Wilming ton Star that "It is painfully dis tressing and discouraging to those who are optimistic in their belief that the world is growing better, or, at least, that there is every reason to believe our part of It should -illus trate a high type of Christianity, en lightenment and civilization?in deed, it is appalling to be .brought face to face in the press with the carnival of bloodshed which reigned throughout this country on Christ mas. From one end of the country to the other there were a series of tragedies, one vielng with the other in horror, terribly shocking the moral senses and law-abiding senti ment of people who really believe In "peace on earth, good will toward men." According to the Star's figures, which we are not prepared to deny, up to Monday night after Christmas South Carolina scored twelve "kill ings," und from all over North Car olina come dispatches and accounts of the sacrifice of human life, indi cating 'chat only the half was told of the bloodshed and shooting and cut ting in the Carolinas, not to mention States North and South. If the truth were known |a score or more -of "killings" can be entered upon Xortti Carolina's 1910 Christmas record. To read of the "bloody tragedies," sui cides and Christmas orgies generally, one has to wonder whether he Is In the midst of civilization or In a lar d of Favagery. Judging by the record, we must admit, says the Star, "that in the midst of enlightenment and civiliza tion there is a large savage and law less element vengeful, disregardful of human life possessed of the devil, crazed with drink, or hyenai zed with drugs or dope. What on earth Is the matter with the people?" Our lawlessness used to be charged to the selling oT whiskey, and it was claimed by many if it was voted out that there would be a great diminu tion of crime. It has been voted out of South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia and other Southern States, but we regret to say that there has been no improvement whatever in lawlessness and crime. What is the remedy? The New York World says the sit uation in New Jersey is hopeful be cause there the Democrats have a leader who is not afraid to lead. But how about Xew York and Ohio? Kaa the Democratic party in these States no leader with courage to take his stand alongside of Woodrow Wil son and fight to the last ditch every attempt to select a Senator who does not represent honest Democratic thought and honest Democratic prin ciples? ? 3><Sx5X?<j>$<?K' BEGINNING THURSDAY, JANUARY 5TH, 1911 Clothing!
