Inns bill is coming in for a generous
lambasting by the outsiiie press, large
ly on llie score ilia! congress lias been
lamentably inclined to prodigality in
permitting the passage of a measure
so notoriously on the ''pork" list at
a time when the revenues of the na
tion have fallen far behind the ex
pedlinns and additional taxation bur
dens -ire being forced on the people lo
make up for the huge deficit and pro
vide means to meet cuormoustly in
creased expenditures for preparedness.
According to tin statements id' sev
era I reliable journals, not all of which
arc anti-administration in their poli
tical leanings. the measure is the
worst in the matter of pork barrel
provisions that lias ever passed ap
proval by the national legislative body
in tile history of the country. Pork
has been handed out in generous
chunks lo a degree that shames even
the numerous bad precedents of for
mer years. Dinkey ports that pos
sess no legitimate commercial excuse
for existence are granted huge gobs
of I'uele Sam's depicted bankroll and
millions are provided for river im
proii meats where, according lo the
slab incut of one of llie journals re
ferred lo, The full value of all the
goods which pass through A he im
prm i tl channel, \i ilh the freights added,
will not pay interest on the govern
ment money invested." Indeed, one
of llie papers, the Houston Post, ad
mits llial, as far as the Houston har
bor is concerned: "The total freights
on the channel lust year would scarce
ly pay the interest on the money the
government lias invested in iq" But,
while all this is probably true, the
fact remains that it is futile to de
nounce congress for its spendthrift in
clinations. Pork is an essential part
of polities. The game would not flour
ish without frequent distributions of
the national long green in places where
such distribution will serve lo please
a clamorous constituency which does
not cavil at the government being
robbed as long as it gets a share of
the swag. As a general thing the
public is utterly conscienceless in such
matters. It does not matter to them
in the least that the national exche
quer is plundered through congres
sional provisions for unprofitable Im
provements. As long as the money
is spent so that they get a share in
its distribution, the question of the
right or the wrong of it never enters
their heads. Considering that the pub
Iq doei not care, that it actually
demands pork distribution, it is hard
ly to l>e wondered at that congress
nun betray no conscience in tearing
into tin government bank roll even at
sueli times as the present, when extra
tax burdens must be thrust upon the
nation in order to meet enormously in
creased demands for legitimate ex
penditures.
We may howl at the pork provis
ions of the rivers and harbor/ bill, or
any other pork distributing measure
as much as We will but the fact of
the matter is that we, ourselves, are
no less culpable than the congress
man who votes for such measures.
We are the ones who demand such
things in the first place and if we do
not get them we are sore and blame
pur representatives. The very nut
urn I result Is tht they have little o
no regard as to how or when the gov
eminent Is mulcted. We should no
blame congressmen for handing ou
i. pork when pork is demanded by thei
constituency.
When the public gels educated h
a realization of its own responsibili
ties in such matters, when it comes b
know that money invested in use lea
and unprofitable improvements Is aim
ply a waste of tile national substance
polk distributions will no longer be ;
, cause for clamor- -but not before.

GOOD ADVICE.
I started to build me a shed to hold
ice, and the neighbors came over with
helpful advice. They sat on the grass,
with tile trees bending o'er, and told
of tlie sheds they had budded of yore;
such beautiful sheds, said those elo
quent jays, were never beheld these
degenerate days. Whenever I drove a
nail into a board, some critic reared
up on his hind legs and roared, "Oh,
you mustn't do this," and “you
shouldn't do that," and "your wall is
too high,” and "your roof is too Hat."
I tried hard to follow tlie counsel they
gave, as 1 toiled with my hammer and
plane and 1 altered, 1 fumed and I
fussed, 1 built and rebuilt it, and
caekled and cussed, anil busted my
ringers and ruined my thumbs, while
critics sat round me displaying their
gums And when it was finished it
fell with a crash, and nearly reduced
no to hamburger hash. 1 crawled from
the ruins and picked up a rail and
chased all those neighbors through
dingle and dale, and cried as 1 smote
them: "Oils fish and cogs wound! No
more shall l toil with cheap alecks
around! I'll build as I list, since I'm
pay ing tile price, and woes to the gaf
fer who springs good advice." - Walt
Mason.
