Mr.. Bryan's proposition that every

THE DEFICIT TEMPORARY.
In the Meantime Uncle Sam Has
Quite "A Comfortable Surplus.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
Uncle Sam rounds up his financial year
on the last day Of June. His books are
expected 20 show that during the year
his expenses have outrun his income. In
deed, deficit Of something like S75, ZOO, 600
is estimated Things like that occur now
and thea even among the best-regulated
governments
This deficit is not because Congress has
been extravagant Indeed, during the
past session Congress confined its appro-
priations almost exclusively to the actual
needs OF the departments. Il cut out en-
terprises OF vast public Importance. It
refused 60 give a single dollar 70 the
Waterways Commission. It neglected
the rivers and harbOrs. But the country
is growing and population Is increasing,
and the departments that have 70 do with
running the country require more money
each year. So II Is not extravagance that
accounts for the deficit The reason is
found IN the depression that came upon
us last fall and destroyed confidence. But
confidence VIII return and with Il husi-
ness will increase. The falling of In the
duties on imports VIII cease as people
purchase abroad. The collections OF in
ternal taxes will increase as conditions
improve.
So the deficit Is only temporary and is
nothing 10 become alarmed over. II may
continue another year. but hardly longer
than that Meanwhile Uncle Sam has
quite a comfortable surplus, thank you

that the vessel has rendered most useful
service in it's function as a floating hos
pitaL The fact that It was commanded
by a naval surgeon has never for a
moment involved that officer in discom-
forting or disagreeable relations with
those line officers who exercise more d.
rectly the quality Of command OF fight
ing ships. II is imaginable that those who
are attached to the fleet observe no dis
tinction in the conditions which were the
cause Of so much apprehension and which
a few months ago were the subject of so
much misguided abuse and unjust ridi-
eule. Perhaps, now that the smoke Of
that sort Of battle has cleared away IL
will be well to consider that the hospital
ship Relief has made a place, as well
as name. for itself. and that none OF the
sacred traditions Of the naval service has
been unconscionably transgressed by
Surg Stokes in command.

Christian Rum Drinkers.

From Harper's Weekly
They do not drink rum because they are
Christians; neither are they Christians
because they drink rum: neither are they
Christians because they eat pork. No
hammed prohibited pork. rum. and pic
lures, and permitted polygamy. Christs
aim was not to reach and regulate the
spirit through the body. but 10 regulate
the body through the spirit The body
may be orderly and governed IN its ap-
petites and yet contain an unregenerate
spirit, but a regenerate spirit is bound
TO induce a disciplined and orderly body.
So conversion" that is thoroughgoing
will cure the drink habit Rum never
made any people leaders in civilization.
Religion is the greatest civiIizIng force
that exists, but defective or corrupted
religions retard and limit the civiliza-
tions Of the peoples they influence. De-
fective religions are now holding back
most Of Asia, and most OF the Christian
countries doubtless suffer more or less
from corrupted Christianity. The rum
question is important. but not nearly so
vital as many people think The true
way 10 settle II is not 20 make the rum
bad, or even excessively scarce. but 10
make the man good. That is the Chris
uan way. and the only way that is per-
manently satisfactory. That was the
method pursued by St Patrick and Faith
er Mathew IN driving the snakes out of
Ireland and il cannot be beaten. Legis-
latiOn, II wise, can do something, how
ever, and should be made to do what It
can.

Spoiled FavOrite.

From The Kansas City Journal.
The favorite sons who aro opposing
Secretary Taft In the race for the Presl-
dency may have just cause for feeling
aggrieved at the Rough Rider methods
employed by the big War Secretarys 5
friends in the national committee. but
when II is considered how long they have
slept on their rights. and how little they
have done 10 rally the Republican voters
throughout the country 70 their support,
they can hardly expect much sympathy
from the general public at this late day
The race is virtually over. Secretary Taft
is an easy winner, and this being tie
case, the outCries Of his defeated rivi IS
because they are being run over by tie
Taft band wagon are likely 10 cause the
public TO feel that they are spoiled sons
rather than fayorite sons. All men love
game loser, and there is little sympathy
in this busy. Onrushing world for the
man who squeals when he is beaten.

An object Lesson.

good many Thoughtful Americans are
likely 70 regret the fact that during the
sessions Of the Republican convention at
Chicago there will be present. as specta-
tors and interested students Of Ameri-
can political methods. several noted
foreigners Of the diplomatic corps. OF
these. the most notable will be the Hon.
James Bryce, his Britannia majesty's
Ambassador 70 this country. but better
known 10 the American public as the
author Of The American Commonwealth %
the tairest and ablest elucidation Of
American principles Of government that
has yet been written. Another distin-
gulshed spectator Will be his exceIency
NJ. Jusserand. Ambassador Of the Repub-
lic OF France, also a writer OF distinction
and close student Of American Institu-
tious
il is not likely that either OF these gen
tic-nen will find It expedient TO express
his opinion Of what he shall see in Chi
cago, but undoubtedly both will be i'm
pressed-and in time will tell their coun-
trymen their Impressions-by the new use
Of political power that has been put in
force for the nomination Of Mr. Taft
Mr., Bryce has attended other conven-
tions at which Presidents were nominated,
and he has In his able work on the sub
ject explained the procedure minutely.
Fer later editions Of bis work he will
have TO revise his Views. He will have

il is that a man of vigorous mind. having
the courage Of his mistakes and the te-
merity TO violate precedent, can secure
large measure OF control over delegates
who are supposed TO register not the will
Of the President but the will of the peo-

Mr.. Bryce and NJ. JusseTand, in common
with other foreign observers. will be sure
to note with interest how aptly the Chi

amy OF majority rule. especially when that
majority is secured by the free and lib

welt who might have the public interest
less at heart
For. while among ourselves there are
many who believe in the continuance OF
the Roosevelt policies and do not serious
ly object 10 the activity Of the President
in perpetuating his plans. we cannot
blink our eyes to the fact that the same
power. used for less worthy ends. would
prove grave menace 10 the will Of the
sovereign people-a shattering blow to

The Panama Elections

The moral obligation that rests on the
United States TO maintain deeency and
good government In the republic Of
Panama Is a heavy one, and IT is plain
from the published correspondence be-
tween our officials and President Amador
that We are In danger Of being pushed.
with or without consulting our desires.
into an attitude Of benevolent protec-
ton which will end forever the inde-
pendence OF Panama
The conditions that prevail there have at
various times prevailed In most Of the
Pan-American republics whenever there
was a President 10 be chosen by vote.
Only, President Amador seems to have
been a little progressive In his methods
and has been employing the fine Tam
many plan Of liking the registration
list and using his official power 10 de-
privc the opposition Of their votes. This
sort Of practical politics" is not un-
usual in the South American republics.
and it has been fruitful source OF revo-
luton, for what the Opposition" is un-
able to get by the franchise it has been
in the habit Of trying for by force OF
arms.
There have not been wanting indica-
tlons that President Amador's political
methods, his intense desire to nominate
those who shall be in authority. would
cause the opposition 10 revolt. and the
United States. by virtue OF its canal in
terests and its moral obligation in the
premises, does not propose TO have a
revolution down there. And so we see the
government OF the United States deelar-
ing that ANY attempt at the election
Of a successor by fraudulent methods
which deny to a large part of the peo-
pie opportunity to vote" is "a disturb
ance OF public order which, under Pan
ama's constitution. requires Intervention. %
1t will be hard for many people to re-
frain from drawing a parallel between
the conditions Of election in Panama and
the conditions of nomination in the
United States. OF course. when official
power in the United States is invoked to
aid in the nomination OF a candidate IA
vored by the Chief Executive, the "oppo-
sition" protests in the press and through
public speaking. In South America they
are less patient. and they usually protest
with a rife in their hands.
1t is obvious. Of course. that the South
American republics, and notably Pan
ama have not acquired the skill in pol
itics that belongs TO us by instinct. Had
President ,Amador taken a course in
American political economy. with a side
course Of lectures on THE Value OF Civil
Servants in Electing Delegates" he
might have avoided all trouble. But as It
is. he has laid himself open TO the sus-
picion OF trying 10 control the elections
in his own republic. and President Roose-
