l'H E.COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBUftA mm THE COLUMBIAN. tfLOOMSBURG, VA. THURSDAY, MARCH 3. l!)10 MUs It If you don't subscribe for this paper for the comlntf yetr. It will contain ill the worth while news of the world, at home and abroad, with the accent on the At home. Tie Exorbitant Cost of Government. Senator Aldricb greatly iucensed some of his Republican colleagues, the other day, by declaring, in a speech upon the floor of the cham ber of which he is the manager, that "if I were a business man and were given permission to manage the affairs of the government I would run them at $300,000,000 a year less than it is now costing to run them." Senator Hale was es pecially outraged by his statement of a fact. He took Aldrich off into a remote comer, according to the Washington correspondents, and gave him a curtain lecture. He told Aldrich, according to the same au thority, that "he has made the most stupendous blunder of his puDJic career ana inai 111s woras will be hurled from the stump with telling effect during the campaign." Since the inauguration of Presi dent McKinley, in the spring of 1897, the expenses of the govern ment have increased at the rate of nearly $500,000,000 a year. The expenses of the Spanish war were considerable, of course, and afford ed ample excuse for the increased cost of government during the ad ministration of that lamented chief magistrate. But the Spanish war was over and all the extraordinary expenses attached to it discharged before calamity elevated Theodore Roosevelt to the office of President. Yet the expenses of government continued to increase by "leaps and bounds," and it is within the limit of accuracy to say that the last year of Roosevelt's administration cost $300,000,000 more than the last year of McKinley's incumbency. Senator Hale told Senator Aid rich, the Washington correspon dent already quoted assures us, that his "declaration made it seem that the Republican party had squandered billions of dollars dur ing the period it has remained in power." And that is an exact fact. During the period since the eleva tion of Roosevelt a strife has been maintained to multiply offices, in crease salaries, add to the cost of oublic services in other ways, until an aggregate of expenditures has been reached that was never dreamed of even during McKinley's administration. Roosevelt's person al expenses amounted to a quarter of a million dollars during the last year of his term, and the cost of secret service men guarding his person is not included in that fig ure.

It is quite cvideiu that nge can not wither, nor custom stale, the infinite variety of Uppincotfs Mag azine. Kadi inorth it bobs up se renely with a fust-class complete novel, seven or eight entrancing short-stories, and a wealth of mis cellaneous matter, all timely and readable. There may be dull lines here and there, but they arc lost sight of in the general excellence. The March issue opens with a romance of the automobile, "The Substitute," by Kleancr M. In gram. This is a lematkable piece of fiction remarkably interesting, n.nnrkab'y realistic. There are thrills all through it, and the de scription of tlie motor-race at the end is so vivid and enthralling that it affects one very much as would one's actual presence at the track. The characters are all splendidly depicted, and the love interest is wholly charming. J.ipfincott's has published many line novelettes, but there is no question about "The Substitute" ranking among the very best. Nor are the short-stories a whit behind the novel in point of excel lence. Tney are ' The Smile of a Lady," by Owen Oliver; "Tran sients in Nineveh," by Will Lev ington Comfort; "A Bargaiu in Rugs," by James Raymond Pe:ry; "The Hills of Dawn," by Mai el Nelson Thurston; "Going Up," by Ella Middleton Tybout; "The Case of David Giddly," by Ellis O. Jones, and "The Hold-Up," by Roscoe Gilmorc Stott. "Short-Shrift," a dramatic burlesque by John Ken drick Bangs, is in this well-kno.vn humorist's happiest vein. The third of Joseph M. Rogers' series of six article-son "What is Wrong With Our Public Schools" deals with "The Teacher." As might have been expected, these papers are creating something of a sensation in pedagogical circles, and, to some extent, outside. "The Teacher" is one of the most im portant, as well as one of the most interesting, of the scries. In "Ways of the Hour" the fol lowing ' subjects are discussed: "Grand Opera in English," by Minna Thomas Antrim; "Rich and Poor Dependents, by Bolton Hall; 'An Old TTViniirl " Thmune T. Masson; "Chew Your Universe," by Homer Croy; "Are all the Great Authors Dead?" by Littell Mc Cluug. Thomas L. Masson also contributes a short and intensely funny sketch entitled "Argument." Poems by Florence Earle Coates, William R. Benet, Eth Talbot, and Rose Chambers Goode; spicy epigrams by Minna Thomas An trim, and "Walnuts and Wine" sixteen pages of signed jokes, jin gles and anecdotes complete the number. It's a big quarter's worth. - Diet for the Stout Stout people should limit the amount of potatoes and sugar they eat, as these articles of food favor the deposit of fat underneath the skin.
