PENSION EXTRAVAGANCE (
When it conies to pensions Cun p
yies.-iuen seem to jroc luny. The last p
congress was no ex 'option to the rule.
Just before Conirrcss adjourned a
pension bill of $G5,00<MMi0 was pass- j
<?f! nil.I v;n lift la* intiU'nc? wmu i
in the discussion of the bill that it j:
was in evidence that there \ i n not
ten Senators in their places when the
vote was the taken.
Senator King,of Utah, who opposed
the reckless manner in which the/''
people's money was appropriated, 1
said:
"We are pension mad; we pension
men who were never injured; we pen - '
sion men who never suffered any dis- ,
ability; we pension men who are suffering
no disabilities no\v;we pension
men who are worth million..; we pen- j'
sion men who enjoy thousands and
tens of thousands of dollars annually J
from their professions and from their
business investments; ttiis is the day
of service pensions, and still more
service pensions. N'o one Knows what
the end will be."
In closing his speech of protest
King referred to the fact that the
Republicans being in the majority,
were responsible lor the wild waste
of money. He said that it must cease.
He added
"Those in public life must have due
regard for the responsibilities which
rest upon them. We should he the conervators
of the interests of the people.
We should protect the taxpayers.
We should represent the public instead
of the special interests, and
U L 1 * *
murse wnu are KnocK! )g constantly
at the door of the Congress for appropriations."
WATCH THE SENATE RACE
The Republicans have such a narrow
margin in the United States Senate
that they are considerably disturbed
over the situation. Senator
Newberry, who spent $(80,000 to defeat
Henry Ford, is still a candidate
for the penitentiary ai.d his vote
can hardly be counted upon. The Republicans
hope to elect enough Senators
in the fa1! elections to make a
safe majority but if the Democrats
do their duty in \ovemoer the Republican
majority will disappear. With
such a narrow margin noth parties
will be on the alert, but the extravagant
record of the last Congress ough*
to arouse the tax payers, Republican^
as well as Democrats, so that to use
a campaign slogan, they will "turn
the rascals out."
The New York Times has a cartoon
representing Republican managers
trying to put, Mckinley's coat on
Harding, but they can't make it fit.
A cartoon with Roosevelt's but coming
down over Harding's iers shows
that it is not easy to reconstruct a
man. "You cannot make a s-iik purse
out of a sow's ear,"nor can you make
a president out ol' a small pditicpn.
An exchange remarks that a poor
man may hope to become president if
his friends will spend a million dollars
to elect him. What a great country
this is!
Canada buys $S('0,0ob,biM> worth
of American goods every year. She
is a good cash customer and knows
where to get bagains.
Some writer lias changed the title
of the G. (). I', to S. O. I'. Same Old
Party. They \Vill probably raise the
S. O. S. sign of distress I'el ore the
November election.
The Kentucky State Orv header iw
strong for Cox for Pes:d nt. !I? says:
"Ho is a man of breadth of vision
and a man of action.
"Prohibition is an accomplished
fact, you know. 1 don't know anything1
about being 'wet' and 'dry'
now. We want to look ahead and go
ahead, and he has struck mo as a
progressive, ell must have made a
good Governor and a good Governor
ought to make a good Piesident."
Old H. C. of L. has reached Africa.
The price of wives is now eight coins.
It used to be four.
A woman, taking advantage of leap
year, asked a Michigan man to marry
her. He consented and spent several
hundered dollars in buying her
jewelry. Then she refused to marry
him and now the Michigander is suing
her for $500 worth of jewelry and
$500 to heal his broken heart.
Victor Bcrger, I he Socialist and
Anarchist who has been twice refused
a seat in Congress, is running
again. As he is publishing a weekly
newpsaper he will write enough treason
to keep him out again.
