be more than swallowed up by the
enormous debt which is being piled up
Dy the present council and board of
public works. Even if there is a small
margin to the good, it will not be
enough TO give even a good start for
1908, and during that and succeeding
years the city will suffer grieVousIy
from the many wrongs perpetrated
upon 1t by the present era of extrava-
giant rule.
Some time during July the council
must fix the tax levy for the year.
The limit allowed by law is II mills.
Last year an 11-milI tax was levied,
and because of the condition of the
treasury an additional mill will have
to be added this year to meet the needs
of the city. The council will take this
matter up next week and the finance
committee Will struggle with it until
July 81, which is the last date upon
which the levy can be made. Then it
will be passed and the county treasurer
instructed to collect for the city on
the basis named.
Great Deficit in Sight.
The statutes provide that for the
general running expenses of the city,
or, in other words, for the contingent
fund, only five mills can be assessed.

as already stated, the most hopeful of
the "TefOrmers" would not place the
amount to be derived at more than
100000 This will be eaten up imme-
diately by the overdrafts and to be-
gin 1908 with the next administration
will probably have no cash in the con-
tingent fund and a debt which will not
be much less than S150,0O0 The cost
of running the city approximates $780,
600 year, so that by the end of 1908
there will be an overdraft of about
$tO0,000 to be overcome in this fund
alone. There is no hope of an increased
assessment which will materially reduce
this amount, and the only alternative
will be for the city to secure from the
legislature the power to issue bonds to
overcome this deficit

large gathering of Christian Endeavor-
ers in Ten WilHston this morning, Rev.

Grafters" linked the names of Roose-
welt and Bryan together as the great
est fighters the country has ever
known against graft and corruption.
He stated that graft such as is prac-
ticed in many portions of the country is
little less than murder, bringing in, as
it does, impure milk and impure and
adulteTated foods that cause alarming
mortality.

Patience in Waitina.

There is all the difference in the
world between longing for something
which time alone can bring and look
ing forward TO an end which we are
going to cOnsummate or prepare for
by our own efforts. The one protracts
the intervening hours, the other short
ems them. The child anticipates the
holiday, and thinks it will never come.
The young man longs to attain his ma
jority and the months that elapse seem
years. We watch the return of an alb
sent friend and each minute grows
longer than the last. But if we can
work while we wait, and so expedite
the end in view or prepare the way
for it. the impression of length is re-
moved. True patience is not mac
tivity. it is not sitting still and watch
ing the clock, but using the energies
in the intervening time to the best ad-
vantage. Let the child be interested
in some pleasant preparation for his
holiday; let the young man be eagerly
fitting himself for the duties he is to
assume; let the watcher use his wait
ing moment in sketching some agree
able plan for his friends welcome.
and the time will move with its ac-
cUStomed CELEBRITY.
