IT'S FALLING OFF.

Those who want to talk about the
big deficit in the treasury" had best
be improving every shining hour right
now, for the time is fast coming when
they will have little left to talk on.
The deficit in the treasury department
is falling lower and lower with each
succeeding month The "prohibitive
tariff" is getting the better of the ag-
gravating figures that have been wor-
rying so many people since the heavy
appropriations for the Panama canal
and other enterprises have been de-
pleting the public purse The Septem-
Der receipts at the treasury aggregated
$5O,251 1904 and the expenditures
$41,359,O 900, leaving surplus Of 1882
1904. This is larger, by $2,995, 1855
than that of September, 1904. The de-
felt, as 1t stood on September 1 is
therefore shrunken by that much, and
is now accordingly S9,623, 565.05. At
this time last year it amounted to
$17854,256.77. The improved condi-
ton of the treasury Is due almost
wholly to the great increase in re-
ceipts from customs. These amounted
to 27,244, 147.19, and exceed by half a
million dollars the volume of receipts
from the same source in October, 1908,
which month has heretofore held the
record for receipts from duties on i'm
ports. There is moreover good reason

SPECIAL FAvoRlTEs.

LATE Young in his letter of August
Fl, from the Mindano sea, writes Of
Col. and Mrs. w. P. Hepburn, as fol-
lows:
Colonel and Mrs. Hepburn are gen,
eral favorites on our ship. Both pos
sess great funds of information and
their fellow assengers love to talk with
them. They are beautifully devoted to
each other and are noted for being
content with what is assigned to them
without murnur. The colonel is one
great man who Is not perpetually dis
turbed by the consciousness that some
man with less brains is crowding him
out Of the exact position with unwise
and unwholesome Washington custom
would by means of red tape assign
him. Occasionally man is found
great enough to ignore trifes, and
Hepburn is one. 1t would be unfair to
mention Hepburn without in the same
paragraph mentioning General and
Mrs. Grosvenor, who are just like the
Hepburns, always. good, always oblig-
ing, always generous, always looking
on the bright side. If the Hepburns
and the Grosvenors do not have a
particularly nice place In heaven,
eternal justice will go awry''

to believe that as the month is the
record breaker so will the fiscal year
be. Last year at this time there had
been collected not quite twenty-five per
cent of the customs revenue of the
entire fiscal year Should that pro
portion hold good for the current year
the aggregate for the year would ex-
coed $3O000O,000, which would of it.
self dissipate all fear of deficit, if
there is any. ground for apprehension
on that score now. The receipts thus
far this year exceed those of last year
at this time by fifteen per cent; while
those for the month Just closed are
LA greater than those of September
1904. Internal revenue receipts are
increasing at about the rate of four
per cent. On the other hand. the in
come from miscellaneous sources is
falling off somewhat, and the expendi-
lures are increasing, although not at
all heavily, the enlargem ent being less
than million dollars thus far this
year. But they may be expected to
increase in future months at greater
rate than is indicated. Nevertheless
all indications point to little or no de-
ficit in the federal treasury for the
current fiscal year.

SIR HENRY IRVING

The news of the sudden death Of
Sir Henry Irving, England's aged and
much beloved traged;an, is a sad blow
to America as we'll as to the people of
Great Britain. Irving has appeared
in this country and had planned fare
well American tour for next season.
He was greatly admired by the peo-
rle of the United States and he found
much pleasure in visiting here. The
effect of his death upon the English
public is like that of the death of
Joseph Jefferson upon the people of
America. Both were leaders in the
life of the stage, actors of the old,
dignified school of which there are so
feW-too Developments in this lat
ter day. Their efforts were given to
the elevation of the art to which they
devoted their lives. They knew the
real benefits of the drama. the real
good to be derived from viewing COM
edies and tragedies well presented and
they aimed at teaching more than at.
giving mere amusement. The death
OF such man is a real loss to the CIV
ilized world.
Sir Henry Irving as he was known,
(Henry Brodrib as he was born), was
SO years of age. He was born in the
town of Keinton near Glastonbury,
England and much of his boyhood was
spent in Hasteltown, near st. Ives. He
was II years old, according to his own
count, when he began his theatrical
career, appearing as CASTOR, Duke Of
Orleans, in "Richelieu." The place
was Sunderland. England, the date
September II, 1856. 81 began life,''
Sir Henry has often said, "as poor
boy. was denied even the advan-
tages of a common school education,
and the struggle to gain even the
means of the poorest living was not
| the easiest imaginable"
AS an indication of the love the peo-
pie of Great Britain bore him, the re-
ceptions rendered him on his final trip
a tour of the British provinces, is in
point. For over year he has been
making farewell appearances in differ
ent parts of the island and in many Of
the towns he had visited he had been
honored with favors Of affection even
royalty could not claim A year ago,
when he visited Swansea in South
I Wales, the audiences arose after his
performance and sang hymns in his
honor-"God Be With You Till We
Meet Again" and Lead Kindly
Light" There, too, he was presented
with an address, in which these words
occurred:
Farewell, good friends and gifted. We
shall miss
Thy noble face and presence from
the stage,
Thy strong endeavors- and thy coun-
sci sage,
The art that showed us what true
acting is.
He was the proclaimed king of this
great domain of playgoers and none
was SO ignorant bf his noble qualities
of mind and soul as not to do him hon

FOLLOW A SYSTEM.

The case of N. c. DoUgherty, the
Peoria banker and school official,
whose fall has carried down with him
several other prominent men and has
caused the Indictment of at least one
other bank president, furnishes les
son that should be taken to heart by
business men generally. Mr.. Dough
erty was apparently, and was believed
by all in Peoria to be one of the most
dependable and honorable of men, but
the revelations of the last week show
that he has been dishonest for years,
SO dishonest that the wonder now is
that his irregularities were not discov-
cred years ago. And yet the reason
why the discovery was not made soon
er is very apparent. 1t was because
every ono depended upon him SO i'm
plicitly that those whose duty 1t was
to keep a watch upon his work failed to
do their duty, or if they did it, were
only superficial and therefore negligent
and even worse
No business can be successfully con-
Quoted except by the employment of a
system that includes the careful check
ing of accounts No man is entirely
impervious to temptation, for no man
is perfect. So it is that no
one should be blindly trusted, either
for his own good or the good of those
whose interest are in his keeping. This
is especially true in regard to matters
of finance Dougherty doubtless
intended to pay back to the school
funds the first sum he took dishonest
ly, for few men choose the crooked
path in life voluntarily and in direct
dislike for the more honorable meth
DDS. But Dougherty was too sorely
tempted to withstand. He was trusted
with vast sums of money. He found
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1905-10-17

that when he took small sums he was
not suspected. He took more and
more until the habit was too strong to
throw off. Still he was not suspected
He lived double life.
Ii the common rudiments of business
conduct had been followed by the men
associated with Dougherty his dishon-
esty would have been discovered and
stopped early in the game, the national
bank which was closed because of
the disclosures would have been safe.
o. j. Bailey, the banker indicted yes
terday, would have been free from
suspicion and Dougherty himself could
no doubt have settled the case without
news of his fall being learned outside
the limits of Peoria. But system was
disregarded. Trusting him as they did,
his business associates questioned moth.
ing that he did and their negligence is
largely responsible for the awful week
through which Peoria has just passed
The lesson, which should not be dis.
regarded by any one in business, is
that systematic methods should never
be discarded. If men are honest they
will recognize the value of system and
If dishonest their opinions should
carry no weight.

LACEY AS a PARAGRAPHER.

Major John F. Lacey, in his address
this week before the Southern Iowa
Editorial association at its annual con-
vention in Oskaloosa, declared that
the man who can write a pithy para
graph is great power in the news
paper world and in that connection
quoted Pourrienne, who said that Ma
poleon feared a paragraph more than
he lid an army corps. The speaker
may not have realized it at the time,
but if he will read the speech he made
on that occasion he will find several
"pithy" paragraphs, pointed enough to
stamp him as being possessed of plenty
of ability to hold berth as a para
grapher on any paper. Here are some
extracts from his speech that prove
that when the major Is crowded out of
congress and the law business he can
still keep the wolf from the door by
writing, should he wish:
1t is true that today's newspapers
will kindle tomorrow's fires, but the
thoughts of today's editorial will sur
vive the cremation Of the body.
Thought is immortal
Courage and conscience are the
foundation for all good newspaper
work: but courage is not demonstrated
by running amuck at everything In
sight, and dyspepsia should never be
mistaken for conscience.
'The editors stool is seat of power
but when the power is abused it's in
fluence is weakened. The sincerity,
the candor and the fairness of the
editor are the surest source of strength
with the people.
"The same maxim which applies to
other public men is equally appli.
cable to the editorial profession. BE
faithful to the people and they will be
faithful to you
And the sentiment of either the
people or the press is never to be OBJ
tanned from mere candor.
'The silent and earnest opinions OF
the readers of the press are often diff
f1cult to fathom. The noise of the shall
lows should not be mistaken for the
tide of the depths.
"It was said by public man that he
spent the first ten years of his public
| life in maintaining an expensive pub
| licity bureau, and that he spent the
next ten years trying to keep out OF
them.
"Think of the millions that the New
York Life companies have spent in
securing whole pages in the great
daily papers in the past. Now they
get abundant space on the first page
| free of charge"

LUCKY EDITOR.

1t may seem a little like boasting,
but the chance comes so seldom that
perhaps this once may be pardoned.
For editors, newspaper men in gener-
al, have just been given boost"
from an unexpected quarter, a COM
pliment that should count for some
thing. A little paper published at the
Minnesota penitentiary by it's inmates
has asked the following question:
why is it that from the inception Of
this paper to the present time we have
not had an editor to sojourn in our
midst? Other professions have been
represented. OF preachers we have
had enough to furnish substance to
an African chief for year; of doc
tors enough to depopulate state;
and lawyers enough to establish a
good sized colony in Hades But of
editors not one"
1t may be that there are no editors
in Minnesota. Maybe they are all
journalists. 1t may be that allowances
are made by courts in the cases of
editors who go astray. 1t may be that
the much discussed power Of the press
is SO great that no editor can be con-
victed of felony in the state, or 1t
may be that men engaged in other
lines of activity are SO busy commit.
ting crimes that the editors wrong.
doings are overlooked in the press Of
business. If none Of these reasons
exist, then the item in the peniten.
tiary paper may be accepted as com.
pliment by editors. Whether 1t be
that they are too honest to be put into
Jail or sharp enough to keep out after
they do break the law, credit is com
ing to them anyway.

ed, but he left the city, and returning
home fell before a Burlington train
at Hedrick. The accident cost him a
leg. For year he was confined to
his home When he emerged again,
he went to Des Moines to see Carter.
Carter told him that the Des Moines
property had been sold while he was
sick.
In the meantime, Hawks had decided
two neighbors, Martin and Duryea.
Now he finds that he has lost his
farm, the East Side residence and his
money, and has nothing whatever left
to show that he ever. owned any prop
erty.
