Here la a calculation of the New York World, which gives n alight Idea of whal the spending of such a Bum would mean: Raven hundred million dollars n year exceeds the total appropriations of congress In 1914, exclusive of the postal aervlee, for the mnlntennnce of the United Htates government. It represents approximately the cost of the German army and navy In 1913 plus the moat of the British navy, plus the cost of the Japanese navy On the beats of foreign expenditures It would give the United States an army equal to the German army and a nary equal to the combined British, German and Japanese navies That esanta to l>e Mr. Gardner's theory of “preparedness for war." And where does the gentleman from Massachusetts think that $700,000,000 a year le coming from? The total ordinary revenue of the United Statca government for the fiscal year end ing June SO, 1914, was $734,<573.187. After Mr. Gardper has expended $700.- 000.000 on preparedness for war, where would the treasury get the other 1800,000,000 necessary to carry on the ordinary business of government ? Of courae war would become a dras tic necessity hy the time the extor tionate taxation necessary to rntse such a fund would he levied The World wants to know what would hap pen to a congress that levied a tax of $700,000,000 a year for military pur pose* In time of peace* To protect Itself from Internal de struction congress would he obliged almost simultaneously to pick a quar ral with soma power or other and de clare war. Mr Gardner's efforts are too pul pable His politics are Inartistic The over rated stupidity of the American pobllc will surely give it track to him le sort of Jingoism will never go down This nation Is now spending $388,000 000 a year on Its military es tablishment. Mr Gardner's seven hundred million would probably go for vary little more than we are already getting, What Is needed Is to spend the money appropriate,! for defense In such a way that the people from whom It comes will get the full value of It. What Is needad Is to cut cut the graft and waata and get every dollar's worth of defense that we pay for. Representative Gardner Is singing vary far off the ke> He would make a better hit If he could sing a song of equipment and economy We do not want to get our country In such a fix that we will have to go to war to eatrh up with ourselves We want adequate and modern defense with scrupulous study of the Investment In It. LET HIM SAVE. “How Is It that you are satisfied to go with that young man to nickel shears? Why don't you make him taka yau to a $f shew cnee in s s hlle " “It weald he against my own Inter ests this time," declared the girl “How't that *" 'T knew he ts saving for my Christ mas present now.” Hex ' ~ N!

John Morton nut on the top of the fence. In one hand he held a doll by one foot, which he dandled before the Korrowfu, facoH of two little klilm, who ntood on tin- ground. Mary Agnesi owned the doll, and l.uellsi Heed wih her bottom friend. "You ere a had hoy, John Morton,*' iw Tea mod 1 Ale I la.

"Oh, no, no!" cried both little girl*, trying to reach the doll that John tip'’ t tantultxingly near them, only to pm! it awio again "John Morton, f you do not give that doll too Mary Agio s we never will apeak to you again hk long as we live," •aid Luella, ln*r eyes Hashing with anger. "Oh. won’t you?" laughed Joan "What do you nop pose 1 care if felri* do not speak to me?

PEOPLE ARE “EYE MINDED” Of all tho physical senses none is so easily impressed as that of sight. A pretty picture, a hripht color, a striking phrase catches the eye and sticks fast in the memory. Newspaper readers are particularly “eye minded.” They are guided, often unconsciously, by their favorite newspa per. - They remember the names of men and things they see advertised in their newspaper. They buy these things because they have confidence in them. There is no advertising that is as near 100 per cent, productive as newspaper ad vertising. A 1 INDOOR SPORTS - - By Tad John climbed down and ran away calling sin he ran: "Cry-baby girla! Cry-baby Kirin!” Moth little girls stood gazing at poor H'»sftlind and wondered how they could reach her. "I will get a pole," said Luella, ‘and you hold your drew and catch her as I push her off the arbor." Hut the pole was too short and Mary Agnes began to cry again. "The bugs and worms will eat her." sobbed Mary Agnes, ’and she will be frightened to death, 1 know." "There is my father,” said Luella; "he will get her.” So Mary Agnes dried her tears, and both little girls told their sad story to Luella's father. lie gave Rosalind n gentle push wltn the pole and she tumbled into the arms of her little mother, none the worse for her exciting experience. "We’ll never to John Mocon again," they said Me Is a disagree able, bad boy " Some months w ent by, and every time that John was seen hy either Luella or Mary Agnes he was passe I without even a look. But John only laughed and called after them, "Girls and dolls are fol-de-pols. ’ One morning Luella said. "John Morton is awful sick.” “I don’t care if he is." answered Mary Agnes. "Nei ther do I.” said Luella. *T guess he won’t be so smart, calling us names, now ” \ few days later Mary Agnes said: “I guess John Morton is not going to get well, ’cause his mother was crying this morning: 1 saw* her at the door with the doctor. 1 am sorry I said 1 didn’t care if he was sick. "So am I." said Luella. John did get well, but he had to stay in the house a long time, and one day he was sitting by the window, when 1 ueltp and Mary Agnes passed. Both little girls waved’ their hands and called. "Hello, John; are you well again ?" John smiled and shook his head; he was too weak to answer through the closed window. Ills mother came to the door. "Won't you coine In and see. John?” she asked them. John looked very foolish when they came into the room, but the little girls put him lit ease in a few minutes, and he listened to an account of all that had happened in the neighborhood since he had been ill. Luella and Mary Vgnep went to se*? John often after that; they played THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. games with him and took all their nice books to read. One day John said to his mother: "I think the girls are much nicer than boys when you are sick; they do not make so much noise playing games, and they ar« willing to stay in the house with you; none of the boys has spent an afternoon withNne since 1 was sick. I e mess I had to be sick to find out how nice girls could be," said John, and then they laughed. (Copyright, 1915, by McClure News paper Syndicate, New York City.) FEEDING THE RAILROAD COW ON SAWDUST. The annual report of President II U. Madge to the stockholders of the Hock Island Railroad contains a chap ter entitled “A Twelve Year Review.’ This will Interest not only stockhold ers of the Rock Island System, but of all other railway securities for it shows that the day is coming if we keep on as wo are how, when only a wealthy government can afford to operate a big railroad. It shows that i railroad in these times Is like a cow that everybody wants to milk and nobody is willing to feed. It has been estimated that the en forced reductions in rates and the steady increases in wages and taxes would reduce the Rook Island’s net revenue last year on the basis of the business of 1913 by about $10,000,000 President Miulge’a analysis shows that the operation of these factors on the basis of the 1914 business, cut the Hock Island’s net revenue over $16,- 000,000. This tremendous shrinkage is mainly due to six factors, none ol which, let It be observed hy critics of our railroad, is subject to the control of the railroad management. These factors are: 1— Arbitrary reductions of rates by by State and Federal Commission. 2 Wage increases demanded and en forced by labor unions. 8 Higher costs of all forms of mate rial and supplies. 4 Increased operating exenses made necessary by state laws. Three hundred of these laws affecting the Rock Island System have been en acted In the last five years, most of which are political creations, de vised to make “popularity” for pol iticians. 5 Increased taxes. 6 Increased cost of capital. The figures on which the conclu sions are based are taken out of the reports required and accepted by the Interstate Commerce Commission and are, therefore, incontrovertible. They furnish abundant food for reflection.— Leslie’s Weekly, Uec. 17 ,1914. TOM FELDER (THE ATLANTA TOM) CAN TAKE THE TRAIN FOR CAROLINA NEXT WEEK Atlanta.—Colonel Tom B. Felder of Atlanta—not the Macon Tom. but the other one haa figured out by consult- Ing a Seaboard time table that he can take the J o'clock train on the morn ing of January 19 and land tn South Carolina Just In time to be out of dan ger. But he cannot take an earlier tiain. for If he lands In the Palmetto state before noon of the aforesaid day. Cole Blouse will still be governor, and probably would let go everything else to seize his person and place him m the state prison so recently emptied by the retiring governor. For four long years Mr. Felder has been shut out of the Joys of a South Carolina visit because of Govern ?r Blease's sworn Intention of pulttng him behind the bars on charges con nected with the whiskey scandal in Carolina. Blease tried to have Mr. Felder extradited several times, but the Georgia governors would not Issue the necessary papers. .So Blease had to wait. And Felder let him wait. Whenever he had to make a trip East he was careful so to detour his Jour ney that never for one instant was be within the borders of the Palmetto state. 25TH ANNIVERSARY, S.H.C.
