GBESS. i with the adjournment of congress 'and a footing up of the expenditures that were ordered made it was found that in round numbers the amount f.gures to 11,074,000. When the first - - - . -.- . n . Jon dollars It 'created considerable talk over the land for the expendi ture of so much money seemed ex- travagant . ' .-. ' . Y; ' ' : Now, things are different.' The .country Is more densely. populated tad demands are greater on the tmsury, but probably, the chief rea son why there Is little comment Is tecause the United States has ac quired the spending habit, From the ' capitalist to the newsboy every lndi Tidual In the country Is a good spend er, lie believes In keeping the coin In circulation. So when congress mates heavy v appropriations a few may offer criticism but the great ma jority, think it Is all right and pay little cttention to the matter. This session has accomplished : a great deal,' but it has been through the eforts of President Taft more than through either branch of con gress. Quite true everything has to go through the hands of congress, but Tali had a way of making it go through that was admirable and he , created no flurry in doing it, either, In the short time that he has been president more bills of major Import " ance have become laws than most . people think, until they investigate closely. But there has been no brass tend music, no loud talk and no de tire on the part of the president to seek the spot light. Taft Is one of the most able presidents this country lias ever had. Appreciation for his work has not yet asserted Itself but It will come. He Is not the kind of 'a man. who appeals to here wcrs'.iip r pars, but he is the kind that works every day In the year and each day accomplishes something for his peo ple. -;;v:. And, although this is a billion dol lar congress; although it has been tall of blustering from Insurgents and regulars, as each faction may call Itself, the fact remains that with Taft's ability to steer the ship, of state the congress accomplished con siderablc before it adjourned. ClKTtTIXGXA GttAXDE'S MESSAGE This morning a delegation of busi ness men started over the county in automobiles 'to carry La Grande's message of welcome and good cheer to all whom they may see. They will invite everyone to be present at the Chautauqua gathering to come early and stay late. In fulfilling this duty the business men are voicing the community's sentiment and wish, for La Grande will be host for thousands during the early part of July and it will be the greatest peasure possible to , make everyone feel at home and wel come. Today the automobile crowd will rlsit Hot Lake. Union and Cove. Each community will do something on a certain day to advertise itself. For Instance, Cove will be asked to bring a cherry display and on that day the "Chautauqua will pay strict attention to tha cherry growing Industry of tha Yalley, and of Cove in particular, Tomorrow the same crowd of bus!- nest men will , visit , Imbler, Elgin ld Sumxnervllle. The same broad In- -rftatlon will be extended to that por tion of the talley and tha lama cor dial welcome will be extended. Be fore the end of the week delegations -M visit Baker City and Fenaieton ,Qf hv Saturday evening the Sautauqua gaherinV wUl not only be well advertised through newspa pers, but 'it will also have been car ried by word of mouth to every pre- i cinct within reach of La Grande. , CONGRESSIONAL "WISDOM OX THE COST OF LIVING. , "The . mountain ,. labored and it brought j forth a laughable mouse." j One thinks of the old maxim as he. reads the report of the congressional ' committee appointed last winter to( ascertain the reasons for the Increase j In the cost of living. The tempta tion to apply the saying to the report is strong, says the Spokesman-Review The committee tells nothing, sep arately, that was not known already The report's chief value lies in the assembling of -the many Individual causes of the increase of the cost of living. There is also a minor use fulness In some of its negative state ments. The republican majority of the com- mitte claims that the Dingley and Aldrich tariffs were not ; a "material factor in causing the advance In prices." since 1900, but acknowledges that "many industrial combinations by manufacturing or controlling a majority of the output, are able to exercise some control over prices." The poor see no difference between such combinations , and , trusts, and consider both the main cause of high prices. . -" ' Other noteworthy causes named by the majority of the committee in clude increases in the farmers faci lities for banking, which enable the farmers to steady and raise prices, increased cost of distribution, as when Madame Housewife has the grocer and butcher deliver at her door; increas ed quantities of gold; rising stand ards of comfort and storage of food. The report woud , have been more helpful If it had suggested remedies. The one implied in "wilful waste makes woeful want,? might be em- ployed advantageously. The people and legislatures of the entire world need a course of study in the thr'it Al-li inculcated by "Poor Richard's manac." Marse Henry Watterson deplores the agitation now going on for woman suffrage. And Marse Henry is not alone in this matter, for there is no thing in It but trouble for the ladles, and most of them have plenty of trouble now.

Then all the other rabbits, not to be behind the style and In order that they might keep up the credit of tbe Bunny tribe, cut off their tails, too, and from that time on no rabbit that did not have its talt abort had any standing in tha rabbit family. So you see that people are not the only ones who have fashions." , - The kiddles acrooched around daddy's knees, and Evelyn said that the buo Hies were lucky, because they didn't have tn change their styles.
