one WAY or DOING IT.

In striving to keep up the fiction
that whatever prosperity the coun-
try is enjoying is due to the efforts
Of the republican party and that
low wages and high prices for ne
crssities are purely incidental, the
administration has succeeded in
getting away with a surplus of
about $500 900 which was in the
treasury in November, 1902, and
in leaving in its place deficit OF
So, 73l, 1913 for the same month of
the present year.
For the period of July to Dece,n-
Der, in 1902, there was surplus
Of something like $l4 200, 900,
while fer the five months ending
With the first day. Of the present
month there was a deficit OF up
wards Of $2,OO0,OO0, The last
treasury statement shows a net
decrease in revenue Of over So 600
900 and an Increase in expenditures
OF nearly $lO,VUOUUO.
There is no cause for alarm, since
the present net cash balance is
something like 1920, 600, 900, ex-
elusive Of the g"ld reserve faaa.
Bat that does not alter the facts
showing the dangerous tendency
Of the times and indicating what
may be expected il the republican
party is continued in power.
The idea OF the administration
has apparently been to keep the
expenditures far ahead Of the rev.
ennes in order to gull the public
into the belief that the high protec-
tive tariff is necessary; and while
such tactics may be depended on
to be productive Of results SO far
as some Of orr sitizeus are con-
cernsd, it is not likely that they
will appeal to the majority of
thinking, reasoning men.
It's q very dimcult matter to fool
all tho public oil the tims-Ho.s-
ton Post.

Some astute gentleman of an in
ventive tnrn OF mind in Minnesota
10 entitled to the thanks Of every
father and mother in the country.
This gentleman has invented moth
ing less than a spanking machine.
Now. at first glance, this may
seem somewhat amusing to the
average reader, but q little careful
thought will demonstrate the prac-
tiesl advantage Of this new device
for curbing the mischievousness
OF unruly children. Since the
days Of Adam and Eve we have
been accustomed to punish child
rem by turning them over the knee
and administering a slipper or a
single. Now the proper modns
opsrandi is to place them on q
long board, tying their hands and
feet, and applying the rod to the
interesting part Of their anatomy.
This device ID in operation in one
of the Minnesota training schools,
aud is said to b having a whole
some eject on the incorrigibles. =
