Son.

IRVINE, KY, Dec. 16.-The case
of Beach Hargis, charged with the
murder of his father, Judge James

will answer ready and that efforts
to secure jury will begin shortly
after the opening of court.
Mrs. Lou Ellen Hargis, widow of
the murdered man and mother of the
murdered, is here and her devotion
to the interests of her son is shown
in the array of legal talent employed
to look after the interests of the
boy. United States Senator w. O.
Bradley, of Louisville arrived yes
terday afternoon and held a con-
ference with his co-counsel, including
William A. Young, of Morehad; ]. ].

THURSDAY, DECEMBER H. 1908,

The report of the Secretary OF the
Treasury goes into details concerning
the deficit whose existence has been foi
some time matter of comment. Ac
cordlng to the secretarys report the
excess of expenditures over the receipts
for the wear that ended June 30, 1905
amounts to Slab, O4G, 79S.
The showing is as conclusive demon
straton of the present methods OF man
aging the Country's business rs any
thing that could be conceived pr.
vate enterprise that piled up deficits
could not last long. The only thing that
saves the country from the same bank
rnptcy that would afflict the private en-
terprise under the same circumstances
is the country = resources, which include
the taxing power. The private concern
goes ont Of business if its deficits become
chronic The government borrows mon
ey and mortgages its future receipts or
else imposes new burdens upon the
people who must pay taxes.
1t is not fair to the people to be SUBJ
iected to such mismanaRement The
revenues of the government are suffi'
Gent to pay all expenses il wisely handl-
ed. The people do not wish their taxes
increased They do not like the idea of
having to pay for the recklessness of the
-, Ufnal,,ptn,, vol p nI1Ohf IN knnw
and TO do better The shortage of over
$l43, 000, 600 is outrageous.
Much of the blame for this poor show
ing rests upon congress which appropri
ates millions Of dollars without stopDin-
to consider that with all our wealth,
there is a limit to our income. Appar
emily extravaganza has become one OF the
fixed evils Of the congress. That con
gress should be so needless Of business
methods and so lacking in instincts for
sound fiscal policies is enough to entitle
it to widespread condemnation. Con
gress IL making mess of the finances OF
u country whose finances should be the
most soundly administered on earth.

sacrifice Of efficiency Of administration,
The anxiety of Mr. Cortelyou il timely
aud proper If congress continues the
extravaganza Of the past the national

1t Is not a pleasant prospect 1t IL time
