Mr. President, to expect estimates from the departments of the Government
for 84,000,000,000 for the coming Tiscal year. particularly after the denial had
been so vehemently made that our expenditures would ev*r agaln amount to
$2,500,000,000, but when the actual estimates came to for the coming fiscal year
Uri». in conjunction with expenditures not actually estimatea for. amounted to
$5,200,000,000 notwithstanding the fact that the war has boon over for fourteen
months" With estimates that size, now would it be posshble to aispense with
any tax?—Waco Times Herald.
The Times Herald is on the right track. Congrees cannot make an economy
program without some measure of co-operation from the administration and
the department estimates have been the despair of those congressmen who have
tried to "prune” expenditures.
Thia argument is not so strong today as it was when Milton
made it, for in his time, though the press was not free, no one had
thought of “licensing daneers, ” abolishing gluttony or dictating
the dress of the people. Still, it has its good points. The fact is
that overregulations is to blame for the increase of unworthy books
and unworthy plays?

amusing because Mr. Wilson is after
all a staunch State Rights Democrat,
He vetoed the Volstead act and it was
suit against the government. Most per-
sons who have a plain fur property or
money against the government can find
in the law gome clause upon which to
base their claims, and they have about
as good a chance in the courts against
the government as they would have
against any other defendant. But the
extent to which the government can
be sued is strictly limited. According
to Harvey Jacobs, a lawyer of the De-
partment of Justice who is concerned
with the defense of claims against the
government, few citizens, even lawyers,
understand just how and on what
grounds the government can be sued.
It seems worth while, therefore, to ex-
plain briefly the legal status of the

WASHINGTON, D. C., April IC-
On a rocky headland of the Maine coast
a man built a hotel. It became a pros-
perous summer resort. Then the «oV:
ernment of the United States bought
the land immediately acjoining nin, ana
built a coast detense tortiricatie
equipped with ordnance of the tarsest
caliber. These great guns were.m8-
ularly used for target practice. Every
time one of them went off, the vibra-
tion would shake the hotel and shtver a
few of its windows. No one would stay
there. The owner was ruined.
He sued the government under a clause
at the Judicial Cod. by which the
government makes itself responsible
for property taken by its agents. He
contended that to all intents and pur-
poses the government had taken h1
hotel away from him. Both the Court
of Claims and the Supreme Court dis-
agreed with him. He got nothing. The
great guns still boom, and his win-
dowiess, deserted hotel stands as a
monument to the irresponsibility of
governments.

The real Democratic leaders of the
rock-ribbed stamp, both in public life
and press are sincerely concerned with
a reversion of the party to the funda-
mental principles of Democratic gov-
right of kings has its modern recru-
descence in the divine. right of govern-
ment truck drivers.
According to the lawyers, the theory
is that the government cannot be re-
sponsible for all of the thousands of
its servants. Nearly all governments
held themselves thus exempt But the
theory seems childishly unround. If
the government is not responsible- for
them, who is? This renunciation of
responsibility on the part of the
government amounts to the creation of
thousands of partly irresponsible per-
sons.- Bat the whole purpose of law
is to fix responsibility for everything
somewhere. This legal theory is there-
fore a negation of the main purpose of
law. Corporations having thousands
of employes are held responsible for
the slightest negligence on the part of
these employes. Why should a govern-
meet truck be able to run over you
with impunity, so far as payment of
damages is concerned, while if a street
car hits you, the company is held re-
sponsible and almost always made to
pay?

The only court deveted exclusively to

The manufacture of books that offer nothing but an appeal
to baser instincts has no right in a world where .there are so
many worth while things to be read.
Nevertheless the power of suppression should not be abused.
—El Paso Herald.
The “power of suppression” can only be rightly used to prevent
offenses. If a chapter from some book appealing, as the Herald puts
it, “to baser insiinets" were written on a placard publicly displayed,
complaint might be made by those who found it offensive. It would
be their right not to have such matter thrust upon their attention. But
books are not forced upon readers, and, surely, we could not boast of
our "progress" a moment after we had begun suppressing such as
are not “worth while.”
Since no one need continue reading a book he finds distasteful
and everyone, by making inquiry as to its character, may determine
beforehand whether a book he is about to buy would offend him,
the only purpose of suppressing unworthy books must bo to improve
the manners and morals of the people, a purpose which cannot be
achieved in this way.
“If we think,” said Milton, “to regulate printing, thereby to
rectify manners, we must regulate all recreations and pastimes, all

3’ Congressman Blanton was protesting, th* other day, against raise* granted
to Federal employe*, and Congressman Mendell interrupted to remark: "My
- reoolection is that the arritation of Federal employes with the labor organlza-
Uon* come about through th* approval of our President."
Of course, Blanton had no answer. He evaded, however, by denouncing
the Republicans and declaiming on the greatness of th* President. He was
not, he said, In agreement with the President on unionization of publie em-
ployes, on the veto of the Volstead act on the aayhight saving law or on "the
4 proposed wet plank in the San Francisco plattorm,” but, nevertheless, the
President I* “the grentest man we have in th* United States," and the Repub-
Ileana are all jealous at him.
Blanton may be right about the greatness of the President and the Jealousy
of the Republicans, but Blanton cannot get away from his own inconsistency in
attacking the unionisation of Federal employes and at the same time praising
the President who encouraged it______________________

It is good to know that our Democratic leaders recommended the repeal of
th* excess profits tax; to recommena the repeal of any tax is always good
Democracy. But it is barely possible, brother beloved, that our Democratic
leaders got the cart before the horse in this particular recommendation. Said

REUNION OF SCOTTISH

Degrees ranging from the fourth to
the sixteenth are being conferred to-
day by Austin Scottish Rite Masone
who are holding their spring reunion
at the Scottish Rite Cathedral. The

Wednesday and Thursday and dgres-
through the thirty-second will be con-
ferred. F. E. Rightor is reunion di-
rector. '
Degrees through the twenty-third
will be conferred tomorrow; degrees
through the thirty-first will be given

police matters, preservation of definite
inherent personal rights as recognized
throughout the history of this country
un tiP the recent past. Briefly, they are
opposed to further centralization of
power in Washington. They recognize
that the Federal government is about
to usurp every function of the State
government, and we must forthwith
call a halt or the ultra progressives
will shortly accomplish a nationaliza-
tion of all of our institutions and
Washington will become more autocra-
tic than Potsdam ever dared to be.
Such it is believed, is the position of
Mr. McAdoo, Mr. Marshall, Governor
Edwards and Mr. Burleson.
A lively contest {is anticipated in
Frisco between Mr. Wilson and Mr.
Bryan over the League of Nations. The
league as originally written appears to
be losing ground. The nation apprec-
iates the desirability of a league to
crystalize international law and to ac-
complish arbitrations, but they do not
want this country called to arms with-
out the consent of our own congress.
It is possible the treaty assumes this
and Mr. Wilson says that it does but
the people do not want any doubt to
exist in the matter. At any rate Mr.
Bryan is taking advantage of this pop-
ular caution to keep himself in the
limelight. However, this issue is set-
tled by the convention, it is to be
hoped that it will not serve to em-
power Mr. Bryan nor give any ascend-
ancy to his radical ideas.
