ExTRAvAGANcE GALORE.
A Change Needed In Order to Get Down to an Economical
 Administration.

The federal administration last year spent $5A,O00. 900 more than 1t spent in the 1898 war. At the recent bank CTS convention Lawrence 8. Gillespie, president of the Equitable Trust Com pany of New York, discussing the ad' mlnistration, said:
 As In our private life so in our na- tional finances. the year 1907 seems to have been one of exceeding cost and expenditure. The government state ent at the end of the fiscal year, June 80, 1908, shows a deficit of $59, ,650, ,S81 and the increased deficit in July and August amounting to s28, FPS, 900 brings the total deficit for the preceding four teen months up to SSS. .434 ,361, with re- duoed revenues of $6b, 100000. The year preceding we had surplus of $87, 100000.
 "The government disbursement was $85D, D,562, ,124, being in excess of the revenues in any year except 1908 and 1097 and $54,OO0,O00 more than was spent in the year when we conducted the war against Spain and paid the expense of landing armies In Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippine islands"

The Wilderness of tho Pot and the
 Blackness of the Kettles"
 From Theodore Roosevelt's letter of
 Oct. 4, 1904, to Edward H. Harri-
 man.
 Now, my dear sir, you and I are practical men, and you are on the ground and know the conditions bet ter than 1 do. If you think there is any danger of your visit to me caus- ing trouble or if you think there Is nothing special should be informed about, or no matter in which could give you aid, why, of course, give up the visit for the time being, and then few weeks hence before w1ite my message, shall get you to come down to discuss certain government matters not connected with the campaign.
 From Edward H. Harriman's confiden-
 tial statement to Sidney Webster.
 About week before the election in the autumn of 1904, when 1t looked certain that the state ticket would go Democratic and was doubtful as to Roosevelt himself, he, the president, sent ne request to go to Washing ton to confer upon the political condi- tons in New York state. complied, and he told me he understood the cam. paign could not be successfully carried on without sufficient money and asked if l could help them in raising the necessary funds as the national com mittee, under control of Chairman Cor. telyou, had utterly failed of obtaining them, and tLere was large amount due from them to the New York state committee. We talked over what could be done for Depew, and finally be agreed that if found necessary he would appoint him as ambassador to Paris.
 With full belief that he, the presl- dent, would keep his agreement, I came back to New York, sent for Treasurer Bliss, who told me that was their last hope and that they had exhausted every otLer resource. In his presence I called up an intimate friend of Senator Depew, told him that it was necessary in order to carry New York state that $200.00O should be raised at once, and If he would help ! would subscribe $50,O00. After few words over the telephone the gentleman said he would let me know, which he did probably in three or four hours, with the result that the whole amount, including my subscription, had been raised.
 The checks were given to Treasurer Bliss, who took them to Chairman Cor telyou. If there were any among them of life insurance companies, or any other like organizations, of course Cortelyou must have informed the president. do not know who the subscribers were, other than the friend of Depew, who was an indi- vidual. This amount enabled the New York state committee to continue its work, with the result that at least 50,- 900 votes were turned in the city of New York alone, making a difference of 100000 votes in the general result

A CONVINCING CERTIFICATE
That Every Voter Should Read Who Relieves That Bank Deposits should
 Be Guaranteed Against Loss.

That Every Voter Should Read Who Relieves That Bank Deposits Should
 Be Guaranteed Against Loss.
 The Democratic platform favors se- cured bank deposits. The Republican platform Is silent on the subject and its leaders, Mir. Taft notably, op- pose it.
 Tie following certificate published in The Commoner Is distinctly inter- esting at the present time:
 Guthrie, Okla., June 27, 19OS.-The depositors guaranty law was passed Dec. 17, 1907, and was made operative Feb. 14, 1o0s
 Bank reports show that the effect of the law began weeks berore the law was in actual operation.
 There are now 551 banks under the law in this state, including 54 national banks. There are 256 unsecured banks (all nationals) in the state.
 The dates of statement calls were as follows:
 For national banks, Dec. 3, 1907; Feb. 4, 1908. and May 14, 1908.
 For state banks Dec. Il 1907; Feb. 29, 1908, and May 14, 1908.
 From Dec. 3, 1907, to Feb. IA, 1908, the deposits in the unsecured banks decreased about an even half million. The secured national banks for the same period gained in deposits about $520,O00. State banks (all SC. cured for the period from Dec. IL, 1907. to Feb. II, 1908, show an increase in deposits of $716,T4947.
 For the period ending May 14, se- cured national banks show an increase in deposits of $645.413.61.
 ''State banks Gall secured) for the period ending May 14, show an in crease in deposits of $2,355, ,602.14. :,
 For the period ending May IA the unsecured banks (all nationals) lost in deposits $800, 0,S07.@
 Deposits of state funds show de crease in both classes of banks as fol- lows:
 In secured banks ........$ 21.533.50 In unsecured banks ....... 669, ,910. .76
 Total increase in deposits in all set cured banks, December to May, per re ports, $4,2S7, ,T65.2a.

Goodman beat Cross some time ago,
knocking his man out twice during the
bout. Cross say he was not put out and
was only shaded. To prove what he
says is correct Goodman will take Cross
on at eatchweghts and fight before any
