A Golden Statue of the President.

Ada Rehan in silver is to be out
shone by William Mckinley in gold.
The added fame which the actress &C.
quired by posing for the Montana
statue of solid silver, exhibited at the
Chicago Worlds Fair in 1923, is to be
sclipsed by the President of the Uni
ted States, who will furnish the figure
for life-sized statue of solid gold.
This will be the most costly lump OF
precious metal the people of the mod
ern world have even seen. So says
F. D. Highly, of Chicago, designer of
the Rshan statue, who has been re-
tanned by Western millionaires to fur
nish the gold statue, for exhibition at
the Paris Exhibition in 1900. Mr..
Highly was in New York on his way
to Washington to get the consent OF
President Mckinley to pose for the
figure. AS Mr.. Highly took promi-
nent part in the headquarters man
agement of the late national Republi-
can campaign, and has asked for no Of
fee, he is confident of success in this
mission. AS planned, the statue, with
the base, will be about seven feet in
height and will contain bullion to the
value of $l,050,000 1t is possible
that the statue will first be shown at
the Pan-American exposition on Cay
uga Island, in the Nicaragua river, in

Col. II. B. Davenport, one OF the
largest landowners and taxpayers OF
the county, commends the Ad00cate for
its criticism of the County Court for not
publishing an itemized occount of its
expenditures of the county's money as
required by law. Col. Davenport says
he would more cheerfully pay his pro-
portion of the expense of such publica-
ton than any other item of county or
State taxation HarleskoU,n AdO0eate.
We have heard some of the large
taxpayers and substantial business
men in this end of the county express
the same sentiment. The people UNI
doubtedly wish to know how their
money is being spent, and the law
making powers intended that they
should know. Our County Court,
however, disregards the law and re-
fuses to publish the statement, even
though it had an offer for the printing
of the matter in all the papers of the
county for the legal price Of one IN
sertion. The court is Justly blamable.

THE Dingley tariff bill doesn't seem
to be much better as a producer OF
revenue than the Wilson bill, which it
so quickly supplanted. The deficit
for November was nearly $4,000 900,
which is much larger than was expect
ed. The expenditures of the govern
ment are greatly in excess Of the re-
ceipts, and Congress will have to de-
wise some measure to make up the

SOME Of the officials of the govern

service have come to the conclusion
that it is useless to antagonize the sys-
TEN in view of the recent decisions
of the courts. In their hearts, those
who have good places favor the law.
Safe themselves in their positions, they
do not feel for those on the outside as
strongly as they did when they were

cannot but be thankful for an ever

Fill bottle or common glass with

a sediment or settling indicates an I'M
