WASHINGTON, Of t. 5. The Re
publican Publicity Association through
its president. Hon. Jonathan Bourne,
Jr., today gave out the following
statement at its Washington head-1
quarters:
"The manifest willingness to Demo !
cratic campaign managers to let con- j
gross bear the blame for extravagance j
while President Wilson takes credit
for all alleged accomplishments should I
not deceive any American voter.
"Though congress should and must
bear its share of responsibility for
appropriations unprecedentedly large,
yet the fact should not be forgotten,
as pointed out by Congressman Fitz
gerald, Democratic chairman of the
house appropriations committee in
1915, that congress appropriated far
less than the executive departments
asked.
"Estimates nml recommendations
are made by members of a cabinet ap
pointed by the president, and under
his immediate control. Moreover, each
member of the cabinet has supervision
of the expenditures in the department
of which he is the head. Nearly all
—~ oropriations are made for 'not ex
ceeding’ the specified amount, and any
cabinet member desiring to economize
can do so in most instances.
"It is important to keep in mind,
therefore, that congress appopriated
less than President Wilson's cabinet
asked, and then gave the executive
departments discretion to expend less
than was appropriated.
.'u, . je.moie, if President Wilson
had desired that the economy pledge
of the Baltimore platform be kept, he
could have so declared in one of his
numerous public addresses to con
gress. or on the occasion of some of
his personal visits to the capitol to
hold secret conference with Democrat
ic leaders.
"Upon him, therefore, rests at least
equal responsibility with the Demo
cratic congress for the extravagance
and wastefulness which have added
to the burden and annoyance of ‘em
ergency taxation.’ ”
('. R. Bushness, master mechanic
for the government railroad at Sew
ard. has severed his connection with
the road and will leave for the outside.
He has been succeeded by Frank Nick-,
erson.

landed on the barge again, but little I
the worse for his ducking.

There is as much difference ! n Ranges as there is in horses. All
Ranges have flues, ovens, ash pan s. etc. You can't judge a Range
from a printed description any mor e than you can judge a horse that
way. You have to see them to un derstand why one is cheap at the
price, and another is dear at any price. See the MAJESTIC display
