GOWDY FOR GOVERNOR.

After settling his affairs with the State
Department. John K. Gowdy, former
consul general to Paris, who has been
at the Ebbitt for several days, has gone
to his home in Rushville, Ind. where
he will live in peace and quietude.
When asked before his departure for
the Hoosier State If he would again
enter Indiana politics. he said: mo; L
am going home for a long rest"
Those who know Gowdy best, and
political conditions in Indiana, smile at
his declaration and say that Gowiy
will not remain inactive long. He fs
st.l. in the prime of life: he came back
with something like 5000 saved and

WEST BUYING BONDS.

Bond sales. this year. have reached
their nigh-water mark, said John F1em-
ming. Senior member OF the Chicago
banking firm OF FlemminF White &
Co., at the New Willard today Deal
ers in all kinds of securities seem to
have benefited from the general prosper
ity In the last month. however. the
bond market has been rather quiet.
which is due, no doubt. to the present
uncertainty of the money market
The buyers are holding of at pres
ent until they see what the situation
a few weeks hence will be- Then there
will be. I think. a general stimulation
all along the line.
There was a time not long since
when the West was not an extensive
buyer of bonds. but this situation has
changed materially of late Formerly
we had but scattered customer here
and there throughout the West Today
some of our largest customers are in
that section of the country
These investors buy largely high
grade Eastern bonds This Is explained
first, by their desire for security that
is absolutely safe; second. one that has
a ready market demand and. third. on
account of the lack of high-grade regis
tered bonds in the Western States
There are practically no registered
of the bonds issued being coupon. In
the East. the larger portion OF the bonds
issued are registered. and Western in
vestors usually buy a large block which
may be locked up their safety deposit
boxes and the interest paid by check"

KENTUcKIAN FOR cANrEEN

There is a feeling among the soldiers
at FoTN Thomas that the advocates of
the canteen will be successful this win
ter In their efforts to have the canteen
restored TO the army" said T. A. An
derson. Of Newport, KY. at the Metro
poiitan today. Recent offlciar-reports
show that the claims of the anti-canteen
enthusiasts have not been fulfilled and
that on the contrary desertions have
increased. OF course. it may be that the
question Of canteen or no canteeu has no
bearing on Gesertions. but / believe .it
was the advocates OF the no canteen
who advocated the desertion theory The
United States is, i am told the only
country that does not allow the canteen
at the army post.
The boys had IL once and no great
harm was done The soldiers did not
abuse it. And ii would be running today
but for politics. II the level-headed men
in Congress will look at the question
from practical standpoint. the canteen
will be restored and a little pleasure
added TO the life of the private. / am
told the question will come up in the

The Districts Problem.

Ordinary District revenues, S1O,-
10000.
Ordinary District expenses, $780,
600.
Extraordinary expenses, S2,500, 600.
Estimates for fiscal year 1907, SILL
4sS.O7O.
These figures are the chief totals
OF the budget sent yesterday by the
District Commissioners to the Sec
retary of the Treasury. They reveal at
glance the financial difficulty of the
local government The regular and
unexceptional demands upon its rev.
enues are less than its regular income
but the need for certain permanent
improvements, already authorized by
Congress, expands the budget beyond
the revenues by about $500, 900.
This difference must be funded by
Congress and added. in one form or
another, to the District debt.
Last year the difference between
the Districts income and its needs
amounted to approximately $780,
600 and then. as now, Congress was
put to the choice between these
measures: First. crippling the schools
and weakening the fire and police
services second, abandoning costly
and important. but unfinished, per-
manent improvements; third, adding
the cost of those improvements to the
Districts Indebtedness. The choice
was made the more difficult then. as
1t may be this winter. because Con-
gress Included in a national policy
OF retrenchment the revenues which
belonged exclusively to the District
of Columbia and had been raised by
taxation upon property exclusively
within its borders.
Sound business judgment and the
experience Of nearly every other city
represented in Congress would move
that body to choose the last of these
measures and fund the permanent
improvements by a bond issue suffi-
cient to cover them ell. Thereby,
succeeding generations would be
made to bear their share of the cost,
as they will share in the benefit; the
regular and ordinary expenses of the
government would be undisturbed; /;
and direct bookkeeping would be
substituted for the present confusion
of advances from the United States
Treasury.
But Congress did not follow this
course 1t would neither lend us the
money nor permit us to borrow. In
stead. ii made us the very least ad-
vances from the Treasury which
would keep the permanent improve
ments alive. And the uncertainty,
loss of time and general inconven-
fence involved in that decision ought
to make the whole community glad
that this year the problem-while
still of the utmost importance-is
less pressing by million dollars than
IT was a year ago.
