8AVING AT THE BUNG.

President Wilson has Indicated to the leaders of the house and senate that he wants no charges of "por/. barrel" attaching to the party, at least In such a crisis as tfye European war has provoked, and he has Instructed these leaders to cut the appropriations bill in half. He admonished the party leaders that it is the policy of the administration to economize, and that if a war tax is necessary, the government shall not be put in the incongruous position of taping the people on one hand and tolerating national extravagance on the other. The president makes it plain that the party shall observe such obligations as those towards the old soldiers, those towards the nation's interior policy with Its conservation and development of the land, and those towards the normal conduct of the national government. The position of the president and the party leaders means that the $93,000,,000 appropriation bill will be cut in half. The exenditures will be kept within $46,000,000, the lowest in many years. This is good government and sound business. When receipts shrink the right kind of business man cuts expenses. The president's stroke is unprecedented. Mr. Wilson, however, has let few precedents stand In the way of horse sense. By the same stroke he disarms critics of himself and his party and enhances his support among the people at large.

of political parties. It is the omnibus bill that takes care of new projects conceived by members of congress, and for the support of which It has been the custom to trade for support of measures desired by other members. The president's bargain idea of "Appropriation bills, half off," clears up this situation, and there will not likely be very strong objection.

ILLINOIS RESULTS.

The Chicago Tribune today says: One beneficent feature of the direct primary is that It closes an argument. If Mr. Roger C. Sullivan were the nominee of a democratic state convention a protest would mount to the skies from Metropolis to Bejvldere against such betrayal of the plain people. In this case the plain people seem to have done it. To whom may even Mr. Bryan take an appeal?

Mr. Sullivan is the democrat of democrats for the freemen of that party and appears to be modestly conscious of the primeval purity of hlfl indorse ment. A good sized vote at the end of a long campaign gave him the nomination. He went through the state, up and down and crosswise, offering himself to the slings of the hostile and seems to have convinced the democracy that he is a constructive member of that great party. It is difficult to indict so many democrats. Can so many be hornswoggled by so frank and daring an attempt upon their affections?

While the above may hold little consolation for the Indianapolis News, it is illuminating. According to the News, Mr. Sullivan is a plague. The remarkable thing is that the people embrace so many men and measures which the News calls plagues.

BE FAIR.

Mr. Shattuck, the republican nominee for congress, makes the burden of his speech deal with the increased taxation that has come with state government In the last few years. He fails to state that these increased taxes are to carry on some of the most beneficial and progressive laws ever enacted in the history of the state. When one witnesses the efforts of the standpat orators to work up an issue on this matter of increased taxation and then remembers the Hanly-Sherrick scandal in the state house he is inclined to grow weary of such political "bunk."

The voters of the state are not willing to turn the democratic party out of power upon the general charge that Its officials are Incompetent. So far, no evidence has been adduced that any official has been guiJty of malfeasance in office. The entire record appears to be clean and free from the taint of corruption.

The pretended complaint is that taxes ha(ve been increased, and that useless offices and commissions have been created. The record on the subject of taxation is open for the inspection of the state. The only increases are for the purposes of the benevolent institutions and for the educational institutions. The people of the state demand of the republican party a clear statement of its position upon the question of the increased taxation. If the republicans carry the legislature, will they reduce the increased taxation for the benevolent institutions? The ministers of the. state, the churches, the boards of charities, friends of the inmates of these Institutions, and all those that are kindly disposed to the unfortunates that must be confined in these institutions are now insisting upon an answer from some of the brilliant spokesmen on this point.

THE NEAR STOP.

Mayor Mltchel, of New York, this week adopted one of the notions of the Mayor Roberts administration. His board of control revised the street car traffic rules and ordered New York street cars to stop at near crossings. Some years ago the near-side stop was tried in New York and was eventually rejected by the public which refused to walk from the crossing to the rear of the cars to board them.

With rare courage, New York is trying the old plan again, and, as usual, the clamor arises. It is met this time by the aldermen's committee on public thoroughfares, by the advisory street traffic commission, and by the commission's noted consulting engineer. These active defenders of the new plan have massed their reasons in a masterly fashion. They show that the near-side stop is the result of the rapid development of the automobile industry and new traffic conditions. The near-sid^ stop is safer, and it permits an Increased rate of speed. Besides, passengers in many cars leave by the front platform, which is close to the crossing. In the case of what New York calls the torpedo boat destroyer cars, the cars with middle doors, the distance traveled by alighting passengers is so short as to occasion but a trifling inconvenience.

In addition to this, the noted consulting engineer suggests that it is quite feasible for the street car companies to clear away the mud and snow from those parts of the street where car patrons wait to enter cars, or where they alight from them—which seems an excellent suggestion.

Of course, it is quite natural for New York to take up improvements that have been thoroughly tested and. then adopted by other cities, but th«l process of adoption and the consequent

PETROGRAD.

People in this country find it difficult to conceive the agitated state of mind of the European combatants, such, for Instance, as Inspired the czar to change the name of St.. Petersburg to Petrograd. This sudden and unmeasureable rage is manifesting itself In different ways. The imaginative Russian is not the only one afflicted. This feeling has reached such a pitch that French and English pictures have been withdrawn from public view at the Berlin museums. In the Kaiser' Friedrich museum, priceless old books with wood engraivings by Gustave Dore have been withdrawn.

On the days following the declaration of war by Great Britain, groups paraded the main streets and made demonstrations before shops with offending signs. Many American firms, which advertised branches in Paris and London, suffered. At the corner of Leipziger and Freidrich streets stands the Equitable Life Insurance company's building. Its first two floors sheltered the Equitable cafe, but this became the "Zielka cafe" on August 5.

The Berlin Messenger Boy company, whose English name had long given offense to sturdy patriots, is now the "Berliner-Boten-Junge Gesellschaft," and the messengers have been equipped with new headgear to replace the tiny Tommy Atkins which they formerly wore on the side of their head.

The movement is being carried to such ridiculous lengths that prominent newspapers are now declaring the Germans should stop saying "adieu" upon parting, a salutation that has been in use since the eighteenth century.

The superfluous vote, supposed to be indigenous to Indianapolis and Fort Wayne, seems also to thrive in Cuba. In the election of a new speaker for the Cuban congress three more votes were cast than there were members present-

Chicago follows Boston's example and suspends grand opera for a year. Probably the day is on the way when foreign material will not be necessary to the presentation of the great masters' works.

There is a mayor in a Georgia town who declares he will impose a fine of $25 upon any townsman who discusses the war. While congress fussed over the war tax, the Georgia mayor acted.

The peace conference will be held, as usual, at Lake Mohonk. And echo answers "Honk! honk!" as of a wild goose.

Somewhere! above this war of hate, God broods upon His throne He scans the running sands of Fate,

And sees the end—alone.

Somewhere, above these stricken lands, Almighty God looks down: Perhaps with ruthless, guiding hands,

Perhaps with angry frown.

Whether He planned this scourge of flame, No man today can tell: These kings all call upon His name

To bless their shot and shell.

Whether behind this drama dark, God moves or devils lurk. Swinging his scythe in widening arc

The Reaper is at work.

\Vp sicken at the awful cost. Youth slaughtered, genius slain, Mercy forgotten, pity lest.

Blood soaking hill and plain.

But some day those who rule the lands Shall face God's Judgment throne. With naked hearts and reddened hands,

Unguarded and alone.

With those who died and those who wept These kings shall answer God. For rlains and cities cannon swept,

For ruin spread abroad.

His voice shall give them their reward, For all eternal time. Forgiveness if He desired the sword.

Or His curse for a godless crime. —William Cr •cJt«?vensen in Chicago Herald.

Saturday, September 12, 1914.

On this day Mars rules powerfully for good, but the sun is strongly ad verse, while Neptune and Venus are in evil aspect.

Astrologers Interpret the signs as ominlous. Care should be exercised in all important affairs, since the sun, which governs the powers most vital to success, is unfriendly.

The rule is believed to promote success through common sense methods of work, which Inspire confidence and trust.

In the financial world there is an omen of great coups that will bring gain, although they involve Immense risks. Fame for ba.nkers little known is prognosticated.

A seer in the orient prophesies that from this time until 1197 the world will be the scene of tremendous upheavals, wars and changes that are epochal. He sees no prospect of universal tranquility before 1919, when he believes that all nations will be sated with conflict.

Persons whose blrthdate It is have a year of changes before them, gains and losses, pleasures and troubles are probable. Those who are employed should be exceedingly careful.

Children born on this day have kindly stars to guide them. Boys should be successful In independent business ventures. Girls should be guarded lest they marry unhappily, but they will be fortunate in money matters.

GREAT SUCCESS

Endorsed by Leading Druggist

Amolox, the new remedy for eczema and all skin diseases, is curing thousands of cases that have been unable to find relief after trying many remedies. A well known physician, having a patient with a bad case of eczema of the scalp, head almost entirely covered with scaly sores, rapidly becoming bald, reports the case after one week's treatment with Amolox prescription, that hair had stopped falling out, scalp rapidly healing, and a new growth of healthy hair just starting. Quoting the exact words of the doctor: "That Amolox is great stuff." Amolox is a clean, harmless, penetrating liquid that when applied to the skin, stops all itch and burning instantly. Will permanently relieve all skin troubles—will clear up muddy complexion, or pimples on face in one night. All sufferers of eczema: salt rheum, tetter, acne, barber's itch, pimples on the face, can give this remarkable remedy a fair trial, if it fails it will not cost you a cent.
