| toms revenue-that is, duty collected
on merchandise, was $2.6S per capita.
In 1907 the internal revenue collec-
lions were $3.14 and the duty col
lected ON merchandise was S2.S4.
Within these 10 years the country
and the commerce of the country
have grown at an unexampled rate.
In 1892 the money in circulation was
$2456 per capita. and in 1907 it
was s3222
In 1892 the interest on the public
debt was 30 cents per capita. In
1907 it was % cents per capita. In
1892 the total exports were $15.61
per capita. In 1907 they were S21.6O
per capita.
In 1892 We retained of the cotton
crop for our own consumption 24.5S
pounds for each inhabitant, and in
1907 we retained 29.53 That is, ey-
cry individual was consuming 20 per
cent more cotton and was being,
therefore. better clothed to that ex-
tent in 1908 than in 1892.
In 1892 each inhabitant consumed
63S pounds of sugar, and in 1907
they consumed 771a pounds of SUI
gar.
In 1892 We consumed 9.67 pounds
of coffee against 11.36 in 1907.
In 1892 We consumed of distilled
spirits 1.49 proof gallons; in 1907,
l SO proof gallons. OF malt liquors
in 1892 we consumed 15.17 and in
1907, 21.23.
In 1892 the revenue of the coun-
try per capita for the postal service
was s1.09 and in 1907 it was $2.1S.
These measure to some extent the
actual growth of the country. We
have appropriated for the expenses
of the postoffice department for the
year 1908, s222,00O. In 1898 the
appropriations were only 100000,
an increase of more than 100 per
cent in ten years.
We make these comparisons not
for the purpose of lessening criticism
of public extravaganza, but of maxi
ing that criticism intelligent. We
require more money because the gov
eminent of the United States is a
greater institution than it was ten
or IL years ago. 1t is doing a great
many things for the people that il
was trying then to do and it is doing
these things because other agencies
have largely failed to accomplish
them.
We are building a Panama canal
because private interests and foreign
companies had given up the task in
despair.
We are irrigating millions of waste
lands in the west because private cap
ital was not willing to undertake the
venture We are making these lands
fruitful and productive and we are
thus increasing the food supply of the
world.
We are preserving the forests thai
we may protect the country from
floods and insure to our descendants
the benefits that we derive from
these great natural resources. And
these are only few of many similar
items.

was called for the express purpose OF
protesting against any attempt to

proposed action as a contemplate at
tempt to get even with the living by
besmirching the name of a dead man"
DR.. Bennett and others spoke highly
OF the character and the record OF the
deceased inspector and paid his re-
spects to the school board In this
wise:
Il haven't friends enough on the
school board TO bury me and l
couldn't get three OF them to carry

AS showing the alleged friendly re.
lations formerly existing between An
ME Smith, the Delray resort keeper,
and Police Capt. Newberry, the prose-
cution promises 10 show, on the ex-
animation of the captain. that he
made arrangements for the entertain
ment of Frank Hibbler and Madam"
Rowland In Annie's place. and that he
was at the door to receive them when
they appeared.
According to testimony given be-
fore Justice Jeffries, in the grand jury
investigation, Hibbler took the ma
dam" TO Annie's place to show her
what Hungarian dance was like and
how the Hungarians made merry. All
went we'll until the lights suddenly

Lest II should be trick, however,
Hibbler. 1t is alleged, sprang TO the
side of the Rowland woman, who was
wearing a diamond necklace worth
several thousand Of dollars, and stood
guard with drawn revolver until the
lights went up again. His vigilance
proved to have been a wasted effort,
however. for no attempt was made to
modest the madam" or to purloin
her Jewels
Capt. Newberry is said to have ad-
mitted to Justice Jeffries that he was
present in Annie's place on the night
OF the "madam's" visit with Hibbler.
He denied having made arrangements
for their reception, however. But at
all events. there was no complaint to
Annie as to any lack of details.
1t Is understood that Assistant Pros
ecutor McClear, who represented the
prosecutors Office In the investigation,
will have full charge of the cases
against the indicted officials,
He will be assisted by Stewart Han
ley. one OF his associates in the prose-
cutors Office. Mr.. McClear has de-
voted considerable time to reading
up the law applicable to these cases
and will be prepared to meet any
move of the defense.

SLOT MACHINES OF
MORE PORTABLE SIZE

The activity of the county authori-
ties in seizing slot machines where

in the size OF these machines, and as
result the officers are having more

ed for separating the unsuspecting
public from its cash.
Two OF these new machines were
found doing business Thursday after
