 The world respects an honest partisan. even if he is frank to bIuntness. Senator Tillman ia respected more than every Dem ocrat In America who has 'Kenuflected' In Washington to get White House favor"
 We are constrained to agree with Editor Daniels in the above. It is eteTnaiiy true that the world has little use for the mealy- mouthed favor-seeker IL Is equally true that the world holds at a high premium sincerity and honesty. even if 1t be eIoethed In a garb uncouth and destitute of polish and RlosA

 New York. March 7.-Criticism of the farn, of statement at present requested Of insurance companies by State insur- ance departments was made today by joint committee of the American Asso- ciatioa of Puhlic Accountants and the New York Society of Certified Public Accountants which met in thls city
 The committee declared in d state- nfent that the forms as at present pre- scrihed and as permitted under the pro posed legislation are defective in that the distinction between ledger and non ledger assets involves the assumption that 1t Is not necessary for an insur- at,ce company to record on It's books any of its assets and liabilities except those classified as ledger assets. It may readily be seen that this practical authorization of the practice of insur- ance compantes to have assets and lla- bilities which need not he recorded on it's ledger is a very dangerous one and has virtually permitted if he has not caused, the scandals disclosed by the recent investigatlon.
 "The committee further finds that under a proper system of books and these practices would have been very promptly disclosed.
 Tt is perhaps hardly necessary to emphasize the erroneous character of a form which necessitates the exclu- -sion from the ledger of a company of ali it's liabilities whether liabilities or' contracts in force. on claims for death losses admitted but not paid. or on premums paid In advance.
 "A commercial company wsich kept its books in this condition would be to most adverse criticism, and even tc ridlcule."

 Washington. March T.--The TreasuryY de nartment today published the amended cus- toms regulations which will govern govern ment agents abroad in determining the val- ue and in consolidating invoices, of goods to be exported to the United states. ss These changes are in. the natuFe of Concessions made to Germany for her recent action in continuing to allow the minimum rates of duty on goods shopped into that country from the United states. M es
 Agents in making investigations for the purpose of discovering the nIarket value or cost of manufacture of goods are directed to first confer with chambers of conlmerce or other trade organizations. This Is an entire ly new requirement and was for some time resisted by the treasury officials ou the ground that to first consult trade organ izations would be equivalent to notifying the trade generally that ap investigation in to the cost of manufacture of particular goods or their market value was to be made public: es
 It Is also directed that invoice of mer- chandise purchased fro export to the Unit ed States must be consolated In the consu-. lar district Tn which the merchandise was purchased or manufactured Hitherto 7tne foreign markets for the goods to be export ed have been the places of cQnsulation rather than the places of manufacture. It. Is also directed that where invoices are cnn- slilated in country other than the one in which they were purchased or manufaetur- ed the cost of. transportation from these points to the point where consulated shall be added to the invoices.
 It has also been ordered thatlthe board Of general appraisers in New York shall give in re-appraisement cases when ever the Judgment of the board directs, Up to this time 1t has ben the most universal custom of tho boafd to give these hearings in private on the theory that If open hear ings we're, held many persona having knowl- edge of the subject. under discussion would rot appear before the board to testify.
