A more complete Indictment of the demo cratic administration la not extant than thnt found In the statement Just Issued by Chairman Flttgerald of the ways and means committee of the house. It ahowe that the sixty-tnira con gress. Just adjourned, has made the biggest total of appropriations on record, exceeding by more than one hundred millions the record of the Sixty-second congresa, and by nearly two hundred millions the total appropriated by the Sixty-first, the last congress controlled by th republicans. For Its twoyears of existence, tho Slxty-thlrd congress spent of public money the stupendous total of J. 231.000,000, and thU huge sum of expense was piled up by an admin istration that made the crux of its campaign for popular support the denunciation of republican extravagance! Promisee of economy made In that campaign were flung aside with other campaign pledget, and appropriations were made with utter disre gard for the income of the treasury or business conditions of the country. New forms of taxa tion were devised, and a war tax levied, but Mr. Fitzgerald estimates that If no change for the better Is made, the deficit on June 30 will be $133,000,000. The recklessness of this course Is sufficient to condemn the party responsible for It. Mr. Fltigerald's .complaint mat tne method of making appropriations Is unscientific will not exculpate the majority party from Us responsibility. Mr. Gillette, ranking republican member of the committee on ways and means, places some of the blame where It properly belongs, when he says: The esecutlve liaa been more reckl and Im provident than congress and with lee eacuse. Tho prevalent opinion that congresa la mainly to blame la Incorrect slrs the executive which la primarily at fault. It ought to be vaatly easier for the president and cabinet, a email executive body exempt from the danger of log rolling, to aurvey the field, calculate the revetiuee and cut the estimates to correspond. The change In methoda of handling the busi ness of .making, the appropriations, demanded by both Messrs. FiUgerald and Gillette, will come, but not until the country Is freed from the menace of democratic mismanagement, and the republican party ia again in control. Greater Omaha also wants its, rightful place In the sun. Only ten more daya for throwing bats Into lh city election ring. Come on in, you would-be city commission era. The running is fine. .Refrain soon to be popular at Lincoln : are sifters:' We are llftera!" Wo While the lawmakers are about It, why not shrink the weight ot a bushel of wheat? Those Wright brothers had the right idea when they decided to let others do the flying. Granting a new trial to the cash register pebple is a Judicial hint to Uncle Sam to ring off. Old Man Winter evidently finds that snow bablt clinging to him even after he wants to ahake it off. Lincoln Beachey: Dare-Deril. A lightly-built flying machine failed under the stress of a desperate feat attempted by Lin coln Beachey, ' most adventurous of all airmen, and brought a spectacular end to a career that was full of thrills. Dally Beachey pushed his daring beyond the limit of reason to supply a sensation for the multitude. He did it with a full knowledge of the risks involved, risks those of mankind who are bound to solid earth know nothing of, and found bis reward in tho plaudits of the populace and the cash paid htm for assuming the Jeopardy of his calling. Hla fearlessness has been much descanted upon. Its service being, as far as known, that he might be cited as an example to others who are trained in the hasardous vocation of the aviator. The use he made ot hla skill waa to cater to man's insatiate craving for some new thrill, and in this hq waa supported by an equally unsatisfied ambition to accomplish what no other had done. Many foolhardy flyers are Imitating Beachay, turning flip-flaps high above the earth, with death continually smiling at theou but It may be seriously questioned lf toe :Once ot avia tion Is benefited even In the remotest by their exhibitions.

What's the use Investing millions la battle- tihlps an submarines to sink? Wanted A Bill of Particulars.

Tekamah Journal: Omaha ia to have another Jim Dahlmea scrap In their city election this spring. Most people have hoped that Dahlman rule In Omaha was about over but there will have to be aoma tall figur ing to beat the lasso thrower out of his Job. Nebraska City Press: ."Who Is this Darda Nell the newspapers are talking ao much about?" asked Lute Dorklna ot Tough Town yesterday. "Why don't you know?" waa the reply.

They are not m'y about to loae all of their original Investment, but be atuck for a big Indebtedness besides. Omaha la somo progressive burg, to hear folks down that way tell It. Lyons Mirror: Do you remember a tew years ago when some eighty, so-called business men of Omah.1, but we believe "deceiving hypocrites" would have been a more appropriate name, algned a circular letter stating that If the democratic party should come into power a financial depression would set in and business would be ruined.

Hastings Republican: Htate-wlde Interest was taken In the Matters' trial at Omaha, particularly on , the part of the legal profeasien.'

If Matters had not been mixed up In so many other deals in which be waa accused of wrong doing this one case would poaelbly not have gone so hard against him In the eye of the public. The re sulta of the case and the- finding of the Jury Is not without Its lessons. It simply the more proves that those who handle other people's moneys cannot af ford to be careless or negligent of other people'a in terests and that the more promptly and honestly they serve their friends and the public the better their standing and reputation. . Kearney Hub: An Omaha gentleman who has re turned from a California sojourn, somewhat Impressed with .the glamour of two expositions, declares never theless that "right here In Omaha and surrounding country la the safest place for investments and the easiest place to make a living on the soil."

March 15-To the Editor of The Be: The case of the fine and manly high school boy Louis Foley shows what happena when the athletic business is carried too far in the schools. He Is probably crippled for life, when if he had engaged In the old fnahloned walking and running matches he might be whole today. When I wss a boy people alt said I would die from consumption before I was 11 years old and they came near seeing the prediction come true, for I began to spit t lood and I was scared myself. But I began to walk and run and became so expert finally thst I beat ail or toe boys of my home town and also quit spit ting blood. Many a time I walked a mile In ten minutes on the level roads of Illinois and at times when I made ape- lal efforts I walked a mile In eight and nine minutes. Kven now I walk not less than six miles nearly every day of the year to and froYn my office and have not mlaaed a meal for want of an appetite for grub for many years past. It I ao long since I was too sick to eat that the time haa paused from my memory. It Is time the foot ball and other rough Plays where aome one Is always getting hurt were cut out and the boys and girls started in walking and running matches where they do not get hurt by coming roughly In contact with one an other as they do In foot ball and baaket ball games. Sometimes old Ways are the best even If they are not so spectacular. The case of Louis Foley is not the only one. for there are many of them every year, and It ia time a change of program was had. Athletes do not stand hardships any bet ter than those who do not engage In rough sports, and a great many times their Uvea are cut short by vicious ath letics. F. A. AUNKW. Here's the laformatleB.
