The Deficit.

In recent letter, in commenting on
the reported deficit in the revenue for
the fiscal year ending June 30, said
it would be much more but for the de-
vice of deferring payments which
should have been made in May and
June until July and August. Certain
sapient Republican editors said / was
misrepresenting the facts for political
effect. That was stating facts in the
case has been demonstrated by subse-
quent events. For the first twenty
days of the new fiscal year beginning
July the deficiency was increased by
SIS, 1855, 235.29. This looks very much
like deficiency of $100,O00.000 by the
end Of the fiscal years. June 80, 1906.
That these same sapient editors will
not again accuse me of misstating the
facts | will here quote a dispatch
printed in the st. Louis Globe Demo-
craft, Republican newspaper:
Washington. July 2O-For the first twen-
ty days of the present month the treasury
deficit has reached an amount in excess
of one-half the whole deficit for the last
fiscal year. The deficit at the close of
business today reached SIS. 35S, 235 80 This
deficit is shown in the daily treasury
statement under the item excess of ex-
penditures over receipts this fiscal year"
AS the fiscal year began on the first day
of this month but twenty days have pass
ed of the fiscal year Counting out sun
days and legal holidays, it would appear
that the government is operating at a loss
of 100000 per day.

Hazardous capers.


have said that Republican propo-
sitions to exc out the dw1ndling reye-
nues all look to increasing the income
rather than to diminishing the outgo.
General-Senator Charles Dick of Ohio
proposes to reimpose in time of
peace the stamp taxes levied to carry
ON the Spanish war. a risky caper
simply voices the desires of the stand
patters. Now comes Hon. Jesse Over
street of indianapolis, chairman of the
committee on postoffices and post
roads, and announces his panacea,
which is to raise the postal rates on
second class matter from / cent per
pound to 4 or 5 cents, another hazard
Gus caper 1t win be observed that
both Dick and Overstreet propose
more taxes instead of a reduction of
expenses. Overstreet. like Dick, rep
resents the stand patters.
1t is said that the president is much
disturbed by the deficit and is urging
his committee on economy to cut to the
bone, but he will discover, even if he
has not already discovered, that it is
much easier to order economy than to
secure it from Republican congress
and from Republican officials.
There is only one way known among
Americans to secure economy in the
public service and that is to turn the
Republicans out and put the Demo

of them. Then we could muster 10000
soldiers out of the service, thereby saw
ing S40,000,000 year. which is more
than the deficit. 1t would also enable
us to let up on the greatest navy ever,
thereby saving $40,O00,000 to $50,00O,-
600 more year by year.

licans in the spirit of comfy and patri-

it, but will they? Not on your life
They want more revenues to distribute.
1t helps them stay in power. 1t makes
them feel good to handle the coin of
the realm.
How long, 0 Lord, how long will the
people stand these outrageous exac-
tons? Perhaps day will come when
they will rise up and hurl the Repub-
licans from power. for we are told that
even the worm will turn at last.

The most prominent fact in the
Democratic presidential situation is
the action of the Democratic Editorial
Association of Indiana in naming Hon.
John w. Kern of that state for presi-
dent and Governor Joseph W. Folk OF
Missouri for vice president. Mr.. Kern
is, no doubt. a good man, but If that
is to be the ticket it ought to be turned

work in Missouri. 1t was SO
well done that they got disgruntled
Democrats to take it up and push it.
and sound Democrats even whispered
in confidence to each other that 1t was
probably correct; hence a dangerous
argument for the Republicans to use.
The argument in question was simply
this:
IF Missouri should go Republican it
would attract the attention of eastern
and northern farmers, add to their
confidence in Missouri as a good 1oca-
ton and bring them by thousands to
take up our surplus of fine farm
lands"
1t looked so plausible that Democrats
always avoided the subject when pos
sible. Many even admitted its truth.
But was it true? We know now that it
was not
In 1902 Missouri went Democratic,
as has been the custom for many years
farm buyers from Illinois, Iowa and
Indiana overran Missouri like the Japs
In Manchuria Their keen eyes We're

1904, Roosevelt carried the state. All
the Republican state ticket was elected
with the exception of one man.
When this occurred the Republican
wiseacres and the sorehead Democrats
stood around and looked pleasant,
while the real estate agents began list
ing ali the land they could get on their
books and began meeting the trains
from the east and north. But did the
expected flood of buyers come and
darken the land like the frogs in

crease in numbers, but they altogether
stopped coming.
But Iowa farmers are going some
where. High taxes, high priced land
and Republican state rule do not seem
to keep them at home. Probably the
reason they are not coming to Mis-
souri, since she went Republican is be-
cause they have had enough of Repub-
lican rule at home. Iowa business
men are alarmed at the exodus from
the state to Manitoba and elsewhere
and the Republican congressman ex-
pect that the next census returns will
cause them to lose representative.

tirely or enough seeds should be as
signed to representatives to supply
every householder in their districts.
But as the people are the benefciaries
of the seed distribution, nothing is lost
by it except that there are too many
government officials employed to pur-
chase them and to superintend the dis
tribution. AS 1t is, the privilege Of
seed distribution does a representative
about as much harm as good. For ex-
ample, there are betwixt $4,000 and
At 900 voters in my district. Ny al
lowance is 12,000 packages of garden
seeds, 500 of flower seeds and a few
packages of grass and tobacco seed, 50
that 1 am able to supply seeds to about
one out of every four voters In my dis
trict. But if for every dollar of ex-
penditure by the federal government
the people were benefited as much as
they are by every dollar of the expendi-
lures of the agricultural department
there would be no kick coming from
the great body Of taxpayers.
To cut off the appropriation for gar
den and flower seeds, however, would
be to stop the spigot and to leave the
bung wide open, for the appropriation
for seeds amounts only to the pitiful
sum of $242 600 per annum. just about
the one-hundredth part of the present
deficit, less than one-twentieth of the
cost of a battleship! The amount ap-
propriated for seeds would support
only 121 of orr soldiers in the Philip
pinest So that to cut off the seed dis
tribution will not be more than a
drop in the bucket.

AS to the Presidency.

There is no easier performance than
manning" or mentioning" presidential
candidates three years in advance of
the national conventions It's a harm
less recreation, sometimes an amusing
one Ever since the last Republican
national convention, especially since
the presidents pronunciamento the
night of the election declaring positive
" that he would not again be candi-
date, divers persons have been exploit
ing themselves or have been exploited
by their friends as candidates for the
Republican nomination. Messrs Taft,
Foraker Shaw, Root, Fairbanks. Cam
non and Cortelyou have all been dis
cussed as eagerly as though the con-
vention would meet next year instead
of three years hence. There are others
who have been mentioned sporadically,
but those whose names appear above
have been most in the public eye.
Democratic boomers and Warwicks
were not In the field SO early as their
Republican rivals, but this net
weather appears to have set all their
tongues a-wagging.

President Roosevelt is anxious for
his dear Mr.. Moody to do all sorts
of things to Holmes for tamperilig
with and prematurely revealing the
cotton statistics, but if his dear Mr..
Moody does no better in prosecuting
Holmes than he did in prosecuting ex-
Secretary Of the Navy Paul Morton.
Holmes is safe as a bug in rug.
One of my most brilliant constituents,
the late Nat G. Dryden. was wont to

work of God So it may be said,

public service than scores of letters

Colonel Roosevelt carried Ohio last
year by more than a quarter of a mill
lion majority. Now the Republican
leaders are talking about a majority of
only 10000 or 10000 for Herrick. while
the Democrats are talking about elect
ing their candidate for governor. How
have the mighty fallen! What's the
Herrick and Forakcr-they are what's
the matter. The rank and file did not
want Herrick renominated neither did
Foraker, but Dick. Cox and Herrick
forced Herriek's denomination, and
there's revolt all along the line. That
trio who are trying to WELD Mark
Hanna's excalibar openly snubbed For
aker at the state convention a month
or two ago. and the very old deuce is
to pay among the faithful. Hanna did
not love Joseph Benson any more than
do Dick, Herriek and Cox. but he had
too much sense to insult me in such a
public manner The end is not yet.
Dick, Cox and Herrick are relying on
Foraker's presidential ambition to lead
him into making strenuous fight for
the state ticket. but he may conclude
that the easiest way to promote his
presidential chances is to suIk in his
tent a la Achilles before Troy and to
permit that trio to receive a sound
thrashing. Far stranger things have
happened. Foraker is very human

Candidates for governor of Alabama
are being groomed on a strange theory,
and that is that the governor who is
elected in 1866 for 4 four year term
will most likely have the appointment
of one United States senator perhaps
of two. The present incumbents, Gen
eral Pettus and General Morgan, will
be reelected without opposition, though
Morgan is eighty one and Pettus eighty
three. Consequently the senatorial as
pirants believe that one or the other
perhaps b0th-will die before his term
is out; hence every man who wants to
go to the senate is grooming candi-
date for governor who he thinks will
appoint him In the event of vacancy.
The chances are that both Pettus and
Morgan will still be in the senate, hale
and hearty, when the 1906 governor of
Alabama shall have finished his four
year term and retired to private life.
