THE national fiscal year closed last
Friday and the balance sheet showed
deficit Of $24,SO5,9O3. There was an
increase in receipts of s2,237, 900 over
last year. but the appropriations were
about $35,O00,000 more than ordinary,
due mainly to the increase in the navy
and to the work on coast defences.
The deficit was met out of the surplus
of preceding years, SO there will be
no addition to the National debt. The
nation is growing and its expenses
grow at about the same ratio, but
there is large cash balance on hand,
nearly double the required working
capital, and this will prevent any ac-
tual deficit, even If the income Of a
particular month or year should not
equal the expenditure From this time
forward the pensions will decrease.
Last year the reduction was nearly
million, and each year the reduction
should be greater as the beneficiaries
pass away. Congress could easily cut
down expenses, but should not curtail
the appropriations for increasing the
navy and the coast defences. This
work must be done in advance Of any
possible need, and by having it done
the possible need becomes more re-
mote,It would be better to increase
the revenue than to shut off funds
from the navy, The Democratic fears
and prophecies about financial disas-
ter which formed so large part Of
last years opposition campaign mater
ial, have failed, as everyone familiar
with the treasury statistics knew they
would The canal has been bought
and when the time comes bonds will
probably be issued to cover the ex-
nense. If this had been done earlier
there would have been no deficit.

RESULTS, NOT FADs.

The National Educational Associa-
ton is in session at Asbury Park this
week, with from 10000 to 10000 dele
gates in attendance. OF course, all
phases of educational work are taken
up and discussed. Mayor Mcclellan,
Of New York. was invited to give an
address and did so. The views he
advanced will meet the approval of
most persons, if they do not those of
some of the educators, when he said.
1T is anything but fiattering to our
standards of local administration that
the products of our great urban public
school seldom succeed at either West
Point or Annapolis Run through the
list of the honor men at both acade-
mics, and while you will often find
among them the products of private
institutions, you will find that the vast
majority comes from the little cross
road country schoolhouse, whose sim
ple-minded teacher-God bless herr
has had no other working capital at
her command than a fair knowledge
of the three RS, which she has con
scientiously impaired to her pupils.
There is nothing either disgraceful
or undignified about the three RS.

TIE criticism Of the appointment
of James B. Dill to the Court OF Errors
and appeals would seem to be without
good grounds if what is reported is
true. A friend OF Governor Stokes
says that Mr., Dill represents the adj
yanced idea on the restriction and con
troll of corporations. He believes in
such publicity and supervision as
would insure wise and conservative
management in the interests Of the
public good. Mr.. Dill is in accord
with the leading economic thinkers Of
to-day on this subject-such men as
Ely, Adams, Seligman, Fausig and
Hadley. He is perhaps the foremost
advocate of sane and conservative leg
islation which shall have for its aim
the CURLING and controlling Of evil
tendencies in large combinations. The
acceptance of this means the surrender
by Mr. Dill of an annual income Of
$500, 600 from his law practice to ac-
cept place with a salary of $4,000 a
year. Mr. Dill's last private act is
said to have been the refusal Of re-
tainer Of 1000 offered by an insur-
ance flnancier.
According to a close friend of Mr..
Dill the step from the riches of cor
poration law to the comparative digni-
fed poverty of the bench was taken
after mature thought, in which the re-
cent scandals of high finance and the
demands made upon lawyers to save
their capitalistic clients from the law
had weighty influence upon his deci-
sion. The man who made trusts in
their legal form is now to be the judge
of their crimes and misdemeanors.
But there is a deeper and more
serious quest ion than money or posi-
tion involved in this matter. Mr.. Dill
feels that the time has come when a
corporation lawyer must decide upon
which side he will ally himself wheth-
er on the side Of honesty, of law and Of
justice or with the financial schemers
who grow more definant of law each
year and make demands upon their
lawyers for services that conflict with
conscientious scruples.
Under such conditions the oppor-
tuniAv lay aside law practice with
his lame aatarnished by connection
w.Jhany questionable undertaking and
to take up a position where the I'M
scrupulousfrenzy of present-day finance
can be checked was one to be welcom-
ed and gladly accepted"
For several months Mr.. Dill has
been gradually retiring from practice
and business. Within twenty days he
placed on file in Albany his resigna-
tion as director in ninety-one compan-
les of the State of New York. In New
Jersey he has withdrawn from many
more corporations. He is to-day di-
rector in only two Incorporated CON
Germs, the Commonwealth Trust Com
pany of New Jersey and a radiator
manufacturing concern. He has noti-
fed clients that he can no longer serve
them, Henceforth his duty is to the
state.

AT the meeting Of the National Ed
vocational Association at the Ocean
Grove Auditorium last Friday, PreSi-
dent Roosevelt made one Of his char
acteristic speeches which has received
universal attention and commenda-
ton. Speaking of the Importance Of
the teachers work in intoxicating right
idca> lie said it is those persons OF
musa more moderate circumstances
complaining Of the evils OF riches that
cause a large part of the harm done by
huge fortunes, for it is their own fault,
to large extent, when harm is done,
in allowing themselves TO be made dis
contented and soured. The President
pointed out that while it was emf
nently proper to curb the exceptional
man of great wealth, it was wicked
folly to attack the man of wealth as
such.
Venomous envy of wealth is SIM
ply another form of the spirit, which,
in one of its manifeStat atoms, takes the
shape Of cringing serVility toward
wealth, and in another the shape Of
brutal arrogance on the part OF GER
tain men Of wealth. Each of Them
springs from Enthusiastically twisted
ana exaggerated idea of the import
ance of wealth as compared to other
things"
The President paid a high tribute to
the work of the school teachers of the
land in amalgamating all the discord-
ant clements gradually being welded
into one distinctive race. 1t is largely
due to their efforts, he told them, that
this country is one people and not a
group of Earring races.
