On July Sd Secretary Cortelyou made
a statement that the so-called deficit of
the treasury department is not strictly
so in the true sense, and that, far from
being loss, net gain is shown. This
apparent anomaly is brought about, hi
states, by the Anticipated system of &C
counting in vogue in the treasury de-
partment 1t will be remembered that
our representative, Mr.. Foster, called
attention to the same thing when COM
menting on the apparent large deficit in
the postoffice department.
1t is evident that here is an excellent
opportunity for reconstructlve work in
the national bookkeeping; and the
change cannot come too soon. Aside
from the fact that a little distrust would
be created, which is speedily taken ad-
vantage of by the malcontented and the
hysterical, it offers ample opportunity
for the theoretical and visionary re-
formers to inject their ideas in the pop
ular ear, with the result that a weaken
ing-great or small-of respect in ma
tional institutions is created.

1t is estimated that this specific inves-

for necessary expenses alone not less
than $500. This item is but slight
item by the side of the present wastes
of church funds in religious overlapping
and inadequate administration. The
sole purpose of the investigation shall
be that of securing up-to-date, practical,
information as to our own conditions
and needs. The results of the study
will be given to the public through the
general press and in printed report of
the years work, which will be given to
each contributor of 81 or more toward
the expenses of the study. A prompt
response from churches, pastors and
laymen is asked FOR this appeal in behalf
of the greatest need of the churches,

if he won it would be by small margin
But he put up plucky fight. He took

Nothing Funny About Il.

A communication sent in to the Yer
gennes Enterprise, signed by lone of
the Delegates" claims that Mr.. Buttons
statement that he was fairly elected on
the first and second ballots, is ludicrous.
1t is difficult to great many to find any
humor in the situation, and it is safe
to state that by far the greater number
of disinterested people, on learning the
exact facts of the case, would say that
Mr.. Button had won.
The letter to the Enterprise infers that
the fourth, or final, ballot showed de-
cisively the will of the delegates. Posi-
bly,; but there was no necessity for such
a ballot. 1t did, however, show gain
on the futile side, but that might be
accounted for IN various ways.
Below is the result of the first count:
Whole number cast, ---------1S6
Necessary to choice, "a
futile, 10
scattering,
Throwing out the so-called scatter
ing" votes, which We're really defective,
and could not be counted in, this would
leave necessary for choice" 90, which
was just the number Mr.. Button had.
There was no necessity for any further
voting on the question.
