DIR. BUHRE's MOVING PICTURES.
Royal Family Of Sweden Visiting
Tuberculosis HOSPITAL.

DR.. B. Buhre, representing Sweden at
the tuberculosis congress, has brought
with him a moving picture show that Is
entirely unique in that its principal fig
ures are portraits of the members of the
royal family of Sweden. DR.. Buhre gave
a lecture today in the museum building
at 2 o'clock. and will give another at 1
o'clock. He viii continue the lectures on
regular days hereafter. announcement to
be made later.
The lecture is merely little heart to
heart talk to the audience. DR.. Buhre
speaks splendid English. with just enough
of foreign accent to make II fascinating
His story deals with the visit of the royal
family to the tuberculosis hospital In
Stockholm. Just a little while before the
departure of the exhibit for America. 1t is
not a scientific lecture, but merely hui
man nature story.
The pictures show plainly that the
princes and princesses are not posing for
the camera, and display wonderfully in
teresting little touches of royal human
nature. little courtesieS and signs OF good
breeding and good fellowship. No one
would ever suppose for a second that the
pictures are part of a scientists lecture
In fact, they would do splendidly AS the
exhibit of a lecturer on the fashions for
the coming season.
Here is a sample Of DR.. Buhre's talk.
1t will be seen that 1t is meant for the
public:
You think that Kings and queens and
princes live always on the sunny side
but on this special morning the sun stood
on the opposite side, hence the pictures
are tri1e dark.
See. Now comes Prince Eugene. the
youngest brother of the king. He is a
great artist. Prince Charles and his wife
come in their motor car, and the Princess
Margaret. daughter of the Duke of Con-
naught. comes"
DR.. Buhre Is anxious that every one in
Washington shall hear his talk. 1t will
be given in the dark room near the path.
illogical exhibit, probably twice a day.

NO DEFICIT IN TREASURY.
Disturbing and Misleading Assertion
Made by Contemporary.

selves to make concerning matters of
which exact information Is readily &C.
cessible have an Illustration In the edi.
torial assertion Of the Philadelphia
North American that the United
States treasury also begins the year
with a deficit"
Such a disturbing and misleading
assertion is the result OF failing to
make the necessary distinction be.
tween a deficiency In the and
a deficit In the treasury. 1t is &C.
curate to say that the revenue for the
last six months of 1907 shows a de-
f%iciency, the receipts having fallen
$4,000, 900 in round numbers short Of
meeting the expenditures.
But that Is a very different thing
from "a deficit In the treasury"
Strictly that would NEAR that there is
less cash IN hand than the accounts
call for, implying diversion Of funds or
embezzlement. But in the looser and
general use, that there is less money
on hand than is needed to meet de.
mand liabilities, 1t is still wider of
the mark. The treasury has such a
surplus on hand after providing for all
reserve liabilities that 1t not only does
not feel the deficiency in revenue for
the past six months, but 1t could pay
such a deficiency in revenue for near
ly Is years longer before creating a
deficiency in the treasury.
Moreover, II the swollen surplus
were thus drawn down to about one
quarter Of its present bulk, 1t would
really be more salutary for the gen.
eral fiscal situation.

Tariff on PhiIIppIns Products.

Stripped Of all politics and small
selhshness, the appeal for lower
duties on certain Philippine products
should prevail. 1t is one OF simple
Justice, and involves no loss to us.
We have done much for the Filipinos,
but much remains to be done. What
has been done cannot come to full
fruition unless followed by other
things. And this thing of new and
lower tariff duties is at once logical
and imperative.
II will come soon, whereas independ-
ence, In the very nature Of things, can
not come for years. Secretary Taft,
who is probably the best-informed
American on the subject, and friendly
to both sides-certainly as good a
friend as the Filipinos have anywhere
