There i; increasing encouragement for the belief that before this session \ of Congress adjourns there will bo an actual material reduction in tho ex penses of the Federal government. Whether it will be precisely along I lie lines proposed by the President, or wheth'T li is }x?lit it :t I opponent in Congress will succeed in putting over some other method of economy for 1 wlreh they ean chum party credits,; i* still uncertain. It will make very little difference to the. average tax ' payer who ?;ets the political credit1 for minting expenses. The one sum thing- is tlwt every member of both Houses is being literally deluged with Irttds and telegrams from constitu ents demanding radical economies in ?o* cYunient expenditures. i r l ntler the Piysider.t s program, in stead of a horizontal cut in govern ment salaries and wages, lie would ki-c |j sill t he present einloyee* /m the pa> *oll, but thes? on annual salaries would be required to take a m Hit h of I iu tlie year without pay, and those on daily wages would be giwn five tlays work a week instead of six. That is in line with the White House p. lifv, announced at the beginning of t!ie depression, that there should be no reduction in wages. Congress lias not a> yet acted fin ally upon any of the appropriation bills, and until the last vote is count ed it is too early to predict with ac curacy what is going to happen, but there is apparently a very decided sentiment in favor of giving: the Pres ided authority to consolidate bureaus and cut off the free services which arc now being re'ide^ed to indivi duals at public expense. Ii: the Department of Commerce, fur example, thousands of specific in fill ries arc received cverv day from business men wanting in format ion about business coudit^n*, <v*?tn j>nd sources of raw materials,- commodity prices in different pa: ts of th* world < etc. Also, thousands of industrial ? ni.ccrns every yct\i* send sjK'cimensj <>{ materials to thi> Puroau of Stand- 1 ards for testing, and call upon its technical experts for a wide variety <f free services. The proposal is to charge for such sen-ices according to their cost, which appeals to business men genera 'ly, but which some poli ticians think might lose them a fowl votes. Presidint Hoover said, soon after! tf:kiiig office, that or.t of the trou bles with the country was "too much government by emotion." It is as true of i ni- party as of the other that a large proportion of the legislation enacted on Capitol Hill in the past has been solely for the purpose of catching votes and not for the tval interests of the nation. This year) thr-re is going to bo less of that, al though some of it will be manifested when the proposal to pay off veterans \vu ?? service certificates immediate' y in cr.sh comes up. Probably much more than a majority of Senators and Repnsentat ives will vote for this because they think it will please the vetcians; but. they will vote for it " v ? I h the certainty that it will be ve tted hv the President, and that it cannot muster the necessary two thirds majority in b( th Houses to Ik' repassed over the Presidential veto. That is the way politics is- played on Capitol .Hill, The political sensation of the week is the widespread interest in A1 Smith's open break with Frank Roosevelt. It pleases ?lie Republicans as Another evidence of a breach in tin, ranks of the Democratic leader ship, and it pleases the anti-Roosc jvelv Democrats as ai. indication that j there is a good elrmce of nominat ing somebody else, 4 hough nobody as jy-t' expresses much confidence in the idea that Smith himself wil again be the party nominee. l'x tiovernor Smith took the vfcw, in his Jefferson Day speech, that this Is no time to talk cheap demag ogic politics. He made it clear that there is no way to put the wage worker back on bin job if those who paV the wages are fit "ig to be put oul of business by excessive ill-advis ed taxation. In oth *r w.o>ds, Mr. Smith exhibited his belief in the fundamental Democratic principle of equality, which in tfieory. makes no distinction Tjctween rich and poor, WHITE HOUSE EXPENSfS DOUBLE THOSE OF WOODROW WILSON DAYS I FORTY YEARS AGO I Tuckaseige Democrat, April 27, 1892 President.

Davies, died on Saturday last, Bev. Mr. I brinies and wife, a ilr.ughter of Mrs. Stanton, reached her bedside just hey fore her death and a son was also wit It her. Tlio remains were taken North for interment. Vt the kaolin factory ? drying i slii'd has been built, tine end extend ing across the grading of the new railroad. We do irif 'know whether the kaolin company thought that the rai'ioad company had J no rights which they were bound to respect, or whether they thought that, at the present rate of progress, the railroad is making, the shed would rot down before it would be in the way. The train for Asheville Monday was delayed by a nm Bushncll and did after five o'clock teWivea ?1 who died at Judge in? here with the eompelled to charter an extra train,] for which they were ?-1iarged $125. It was certainly not right to lay upon these j>eopIe a penalty as the result of an accident which they were not even rcmotelv connected. Mr. M. M. Brown, formerly county sunevor of this county, and well known and prominent citizen, died at hi* home near Tnokaseige a few days ay':. / . ' '? i (? ; . " Horace Brown's store at.

Miss Etta Wilson, a popular young lady of Glenville, opened .school this morning at the academy, with 22 students and will be more next week. and does to legislate against ,one cla*si for the benefit of another, IVrhaps thp^PffSt, far-reaching ef fect of Mr. iSmifTPs .Jefferson Day speech, however, is his very frank statement that we might just as well give up the idea that Ave arc going to collect any more -on account of war debts from Europe. Hundreds of po litical leaders reached that conclusion long ago, but none in a position to be heard so widely has dared to voice it. Now that Air. Smith has said it right out m meeting it is sur prising how much agreement is be ing expressed with that belief. It would be hard to find anybody in j Washington today who seriously j thinks we shall ever get any more money from the othir side in pay ment of what Ihe nations of Europe . borrowed from us for war purpose*. to Ah*.

There are u<ny people (who feel that econon^v, like charity, should begro at hoi]*1) ; and there is consid erable comment upon the huge sum th'ii President Hoovi.r atks for the operating budget at (he White House. The following figures an* taken from the Baltimore Evevng Sun. Mr.. Hoover, while counseling eeonomny, pnsents a White House budget which totals the huge sun. of $559,000.

Harriett Hall / TODAY and TOMORROW Learning * My wife hiuI I called on son:o new neighbors, n young Gorman couple wlio hod taken a firm near mine. As we npproaehcd the house we heard the sound of what seemed to us very fine music, which stopped when 1 knocked on the door. "I thought I heard n radio/' .said my wife, al'tev we J;ad exchanged neighborly greetings. But they lind no radio. The .young farmer had been playing on a violin which In had fortnight from (ieiwany. T com plimented him <m the quality <of his tannic. "I'll never be abb; to play well enough to appear in public," he said, "because I did not start to study. tin vio'in until I was sixteen. To learn anything well \vm miu-t start younger then that." 1 have thought of that young fai mei's sound observation many limes since. T think our present system of coddling boys and girls until they are sixteen and expecting them to learn how to get along in the world is all wrong. It is unfair to the youngsters I and unfair to socb ty, because it gives them the impression that the world . . -| owes them a living, and it puts on the 'res--l of us the burden of taking care of and protecting our.?ilvcs against an army of misfits and ii.ecmjictcnts. J Most people would be better off ail'"; happier if they bad bad less schooling and more hard work when they were very young. SILVER i 1 have talked so much about silver in this column that perhaps T am sus pected <;f owning, a silver mine. 1 haven't a cent's worth of interest in buying or selling silver, but the more I study the subject the more convin ced' T am that anything which would rouslt in restoring silver to its old currency position, especially in the Or ient, would immediately stimulate trade and raise commodity prices, and so benefit everbody n the world. I have just been reading reports of the hearings held in Washington by a subcommittee of the Iiouse Committee On Coinage, Weigh' "?? and Measures, of which Hon. Andrew H. Somers is chairman. Nobody can study those statements without being convinced that pilvor is a much more important factor in the world's trade than most of Up realize. I advise anybody who wants to know more about the subject to writp t o Representative Somers, al Washington, for the documents issued by his committee. COMFORT Two of the transcontinental rail I'oiifh have equipped their dining curs I with air-conditioning devices which I keep the temperature moderate and t In* nit- fresh no mutter what the thermometer soys 011 1 side. Two cust om roads the B. ?jnd 0. and the C. and 0. are about to start regular through trains between Chicago and j New York, every car of( which will be provided with a similar system of ventilation and cooling. This is a long step in advance and one which the other railroads will have to take also. There will always j lie fresh air fiends who will nol be-j Jieve-that air is fresh unless it comes through an open window, but most people would rather travel in a dust proof railroad car than in a dust patliering open automobile, on any lonu: journev. INSANITY. The old idea that insanity of any kind is a mental condition originat ing in and confined (o the brain has been proved" to be jr.st as absurd as the old idea that lunatics and idiots were the victims of a direct act of God, according to Henry A. Cotton, head of the New Jersey State Hos pital ("of the Insane. .Acting on tlie belief that cveiy manifestation of insanity had a pliv .sicj.I calls', Dr. Cotton and his staff for twenty years have been trying to discover those physical causes and cure them, with tli? result that more than two thousand patients have been cured of TKeir insanity.
