employees to minimum they are run
to employ as many men as possible and
if deficit results the public debt is to
this extent enlarged. Every man feels
that the government owes him living
and if the government does not provide
employment for the unemployed the
latter would strive to overthrow the
government.
All of the enterprises now under
public control are operated at loss and
as consequence the national debt is
constantly increasing. Perhaps the
thrifty and industrious classes of New
Zealand are leaving the country because
they are tired of being taxed to sustain
the shiftless and the indolent. Under
these circumstances does the New
Zealand experiment justify the claims
Mr.. Lloyd SO enthusiastically makes
for it?

presence of the leading sixteen to oneites
of the populist party, the standing
candidate of that party for the presi-
dency, very eloquently remarked-after
a residence in Nebraska of about ten
years:
cat this banquet surrounded by
neighbors who have been my political
friends for ten years, may be pardoned
for saying word of personal nature.
Five times you have voted for me for
public office-twice for congress, once
for the United States senate, and twice
for the presidency-and no candidate
ever received more loyal support than
you have given"
A tenderer, more touching tribute
to the ballot of any propinquity
could not be constructed in all this
wicked world and the modesty and
meekness with which it was delivered
make it a classic in the literature of
self sacrifice. No other man could have
uttered this truthful, beautiful and

is eloquence and mellifuence, so sweetly
mixed, that the soul is chloroformed in
ecstacy and the emotions bathed in
beatitude.
And in the next paragraph, but one,
the recent candidate of the Sioux Falls
populist conven-
tion tersely pro-
claims "The holding of public position
should be an incident and not the aim of
the citizen"
The logic of five incidents which
have been visible to his many friends in
ten years show how the GAINS" of
great and good man may be absolutely
upset by mere "incidents" over which
he has no control and which no effort of
his can possibly avert. The inexorabil-
ity of "the incident" and the ephemeral
potency of "the aim" in a career of
triumphant verbosity could not be more
forcefully illustrated.

PATERNALISM IN
NEW ZEALAND.
Roca, Neb.


"Newest Eng
land" Mr.. Henry D. Lloyd says that
New Zealand offers to the world "the
antitoxin of revolution and the cure of
monopoly" New Zealand is splendid
example of paternal government. The
state owns and operates the railroads,
provides insurance and pays old age
pensions. Large tracts of land have
been resumed or bought in by the
government and leased in small sub.
divisions to the people. In no other
country has the state attempted to do so
much for the individual But are the
people as happy and contented as Mr..
Lloyd would have us believe?
If it is agreeable to the people of New
Zealand to be relieved of individual re-
sponsibility and
Responsibi,itv. the right to own
and control prop
erty why do they not stay there? Why
do they migrate in such large numbers
to countries where the competitive
system is in vogue? In 1896, $1,000
people moved away and but 845 went to
this halcyon place. People are leaving
New Zealand in spite of paternal legis-
lation, in spite of the fact that the
government has expended large sums of
money in the construction of railways,
the improvement of roads, pensions to
toilers, and has spared no effort to
accommodate itself to the physical COM
fort of the individual.
The manner in which New Zealand
has done all this is forcible reminder
that the govern
ment has nothing
of it's own to give away and that which
it would contribute to all or part of it's
citizens it must take from them. A debt
of $500 per capita reminds the people of
New Zealand that it does cost something
even to have the government do things
and that it is mistake to assume that
thing costs nothing because the govern
ment does it, The national debt amounts
to one third the value of the realty of
the island.
Mr.. Lloyd is right when he says New
Zealand is country without strikes.
There are no

strikes because
the government must keep everybody
employed and, if there is no other way
to do it, they must be set at work i'm

works. This must be paid for out of
the public treasury and hence means

quest of determination.
Mr. Brower's Harahey mentions this
northern branch and he will doubtless
acquiesce in this statement. There is
nothing in Mr.. Brower's memoirs to
conflict with the condition which we
believe existed 1. e., that there was a
peaceable, pastoral people in a high
state of civilization farther north than
Coronado explored. Ofcourse, he makes
the positive statement that Coronado
reached the end of Quivera. This would
of necessity conflict with the theory that
he was only in the outlying villages or
a community consisting only of a branch

we should allow our common sense a
little liberty and agree that he might
have been mistaken in the "end of
Quivera." Right here let us note that
the name Quivera would have belonged
equally TO both branches and both
would be likely to use it. Mr.. Brewer
admits there is nothing in the Wichita
language to compare with it-nothing
which gives shadow of evidence upon
which to hang theory of it's origin.
The American Indians seldom desig-
mated a neighboring tribe by the name
which the tribe called itself. The
branch from the great Pawnee nation
would scarcely have admitted that the
other or northern branch had Quivera,
although from the fame of this other
Quivera came all the insignia and far
reaching romance in the light of which
feathers of wonder they were wearing.
If the relics left showing the highest
degree of civilization and art were found
in the Kansas village, we would not
question for moment but the highest

CLEAR OF LITERATURE

The final rush of the political cam
paign at the Worcester postofice yes
terday was a crusher and early IN the
morning it looked as if the local office
had more to do than it could possibly
accomplish. Postmaster J. Evarts
Greene told the men to get out what
they could and they buckled down to
hard work and got rid Of the entire lot
but some of the other mail matter was
delayed a little bit. The campaign liter
ature began to pile up on the desks
Saturday afternoon and night and all
day Sunday the force of clerks was at
work sorting the stuff out for the car
riers. When the latter reported for
duty yesterday morning they found
their racks piled high with the envel-
opes and they were sent out at once
without waiting for the Boston mail
due at o'clock to be sorted. Forum
ately for them, the New York mail
was unusually light only two sacks
coming into the office instead of the
usual four. The Boston papers that
come UP on the first train were delayed
and there was some complaint but the
papers eventually got to their sub
scribers but not on the first delivery.
1t is estimated that the office has
handled at least 10000 pieces of cam
paign literature since Thursday and
most of it was delivered Saturday and
yesterday.

THOUSANDS WAGERED
ON T0DAY'S ELECTION

The betting on the result of the may
orally campaign yesterday was the
liveliest since the sport began, and it
is estimated that the amount Of money
wagered on the election will run up
into the thousands. The Fletcher men
gave odds on the general result of 10 to
Z and 10 to 3, and last night several
men with Fletcher money called at the
rooms Of the Washington Social club,
where $500 was put up by the mayor $
friends that he VIII be reelected.
Somebody put a $50 bill in the window
of oscar f. RawsOr's cigar store yes
terday afternoon, with card which
said the owner wanted to bet Fletcher

in the window long. as two O'Connell
supporters got after it, and Mr. Raw

man OF the pair 3, chance to get in on

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 9.-H. J. Flesh
man, cashier of the Farmers and Mer-
chants Bank of this city, has disap-
peared with a sum of the banks money,
which Vice President II. W. Hellman
estimates at 500 900. The shortage was
discovered today.
Freshman has not been seen since 8
o'clock Saturday morning. At that hour
he was at his club. He notified the bank
people that he was i'll Saturday morning
and would not be at his desk Nothing
was thought of the matter at the time.
When he failed to report today his ac-
counts We're examined and the shortage
discovered. The exact amount has not
vet been asCertained.
Fleishman has been cashier and assist
ant cashier of the Farmers and Mer-
chants Bank for many years. He began
work for the bank when a boy in 1915.
He was under bond with a surety COM
pany for $50, 600. In addition to this he
has real estate and personal property IN
this city sufficient in the opinion of Mr..
Hellman. to protect the bank from the
loss of a dollar.
Fleishman married the daughter of A.
J. Harrell a wealthy cattleman of Visa
liza. but was divorced some time ago. He
was man AZ years of age.
The Farmers and Merchants Bank, of
which 1. w. Hellman Is president and II.
w. Hellman vice president, is the oldest
and strongest bank in Southern Califor-
mia. Its capital is 100000 with a surplus
of $1,000 900 and deposits of $500 600.
H. w. Holman said of the missing
cashier:
''Fleishman had no valid excuse for
taking the money. He has property
enough TO realize the amount he has
taken from the bank He was always
considered a man of simple habits and
unimpeachable integrity We are at
complete loss to account for his action.
The bank is amply protected and will not
lose a cent"
San Francisco, Dec. 81. w. Hellman,
president Of the Nevada Bank of this
city, and holding a similar Office in con-
nection with the Farmers and Mer-
chants Bank Of Los Angeles, made the
following statement regarding the de-
faIcation Of H. J. Fleishman, cashier of
the Los Angeles bank:
THE fact that We have been robbed of
100000 cuts no figure. The bank will go
on as usual, and Will not be in the least
handicapped by the loss Of such sum,
which while large, does not affect the
capital Of the concern at all. 7 have
made up my mind to prosecute him to the
end should he be captured. We have
wired every section of this country and

will be captured eventually. There will
be no compromise. I cannot but believe
that there is a woman in the case some
