i b what young am l J e a near beer k ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ WHERE REVISION DOWNWARD IS NEEDED For many years the people heard their tanttalgn orators talk all ut lit need ot a revision of the elision The tariff has just revised but it Is doubt fcl It the revision has been downward says The Savannah News The Demo- cratic leader of the House says the rt vision bait been upward and there are good reasons for thinking he is right It looks therefore as If down- ward revision were Imposnible an long as the Republican party remains in But couldnt another kind of rev lion be brought about a revision that Is as greatly needed as downward re vision of the tariff We have in mind a revision of the expenses of the Government They should be re- vised downward If there were such a revision there wouldnt be need to hunt for new sources of revenue The other day Congress gave the Speaker of the House an automobile- to cost and also gave the Vice President n machine of the same sort No doubt the Government will have to bear the expenses of a chauffeur for each of these machines and also their garage expenses Each machine It is safe to say will cost the Govern- ment 92000 a year Wouldnt either the Speaker or the have been just as happy with the mod est carriage to which they have been accustomed Automobiles for these officials means more than the cost and support of these two machines It means that before long every head of a bureau and every chief clerk will be riding around in an automobile bought and maintained by the Government Auto mobiles mean Increased cost of living and that calls for higher salaries And this Is but one Item of the many that make up the cost of gov- ernment Surely it Is time for the campaign orators of each of the great parties to begin to talk of revising- the expenses of the Government down- ward Talk of that sort would be popular It would appeal strongly to the common people who work early and late to get the bare necessaries- or at least the comfort of life EXPOSES THE CANARD- At the request of Hon Frank Clark The this morning prints that gentlemans letter addressed to The Metropolis of this city While The was not ad- vised until the receipt of this commun cation as to the reasons why Mr Clark was not continued as secretary of the Congressional Committee at its reorganization a few days ago yet It has never wavered In Its belief that the statement purporting to come from a Chicago paper that Mr Clark had been defeated for reelection to that office was a pure fake concocted- In the office of The Metropolis for po- litical purposes Very frankly and fully Mr Clark points out the reason why he was not reelected that reason being simply that he had declined to be reelected as a member of the committee and haH talN dO nard been lower 6000 h the Bllnnlnnu Vice President News Record News Record of ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ nctte Mays of the Third district and as he wax not even a member of the committee his most purblind critic cannot say after knowing the truth that there was any rebuke to Mr Clark in the whole transaction- Mr Clarks vigorous communication- is very characteristic of that and exposes the innate mean hess of those who would manufacture situations to injure him Mr Clark In a candidate to succeed himself In the House of Representa- tives and he will find that the attacks of his very few enemies In this district will make him more friends and add to the large major ity which this district In determined to give him in tho next primaries Miami One of these days when the rampant suffragette has had her way and St Pauls injunction to keep women from talking out in meeting has been rele- gated to the literary scrap pile the marriage service will be altered and raqulre the husband to promise obedience to the wife and to be perfectly frank it would probably be an improvement to the present ar rangenjent There are two reasons one Is that if the man really obeys the woman he will be a better animal nine times out of ten and the other If there Is to be any lying at the altar it would be well to the onus to the broader shoul Pensacola Journal gentle- man base- less News Record that ¬ ¬ ¬ > + SALE OF THE T J
