JUST A WORD, PLEASE.

Quite controversy Is going on at
this time among several noted news
paper writers of this state over the
merits of the two books, 1.-THE White
Company" by A. Conan Doyle, and
'Ivanhoe." by Sir Walter Scott. Walt
Mason of the Emporia Gazette, may
his tribe increase, declares that the
white Company" is the one best bet
in the literary world of historical
novels. while "Billy' Morgan of the
Hutchinson News takes issue with the
Emporia poet, holding that "Ivanhoe"
is the greater of the two books. Then
comes Bert Walker of the Osborne
Farmer who butts into the argument
with the rather blatant declaration
that Morgan is right. Walker gives no
reason for his opinion, appearing to
believe that the fact that he has
handed 1t down is enough, and he
throws in a slur at Topeka's new slo-
gan for good measure, though why
the motto of this city should have any
bearing on the question at issue is not
apparent.
With the preponderance of opinion
already two to one against the Hon.
Mason, now comes "Bilr' Kercher of
Topeka, editor of the "Kansas Topics"
in the Kansas City Journal, and joins
the rabble that chatter at the foot of
the pedestal upon which sits the EN-
poria critic lofty and serene in his
superior judgment and better know1-
edge of history and literature
The State Journal man does not
now pretend to come to the aid of
the bard of Lyon county-there is no
need-but rather would join that
Daniel in his wise Judgment on a
great book.
Everybody has read Scotts great
story of Richard of the lion heart and
the brilliant descriptions and literary
workmanship in the construction of
this popular classic. But the charac-

and his lady love and companions are

FEDERAL FINANCES.

Some grounds for encouragement are
to be found in the announcement OF
the federal treasury officials that the
daily governmental deficit is steadily
decreasing, but it will not be great in
view of the companion statement that
the expenses Of the nation reach the
rather staggering total of approximate
ly $2,300,O00 a day. This is approach.
ing a billion dollars year, monumen-
tai sum. the size of which it is almost
impossible to grasp, but the raising OF
which is an enormous burden upon the
people of the nation. Most of 1t is Sc
cured through indirect taxation, which
is nothing more than clever scheme
of taxing people in many ways which
they do not ordinarily realize or stop
to think of.
1t assuredly will suggest the thought
to everyone that the administrators
of the government have stern duty
confronting them. OF course, it is nee
essary for them to provide revenue in
some way to meet the governmental
expenses. But 1t is equally incumbent
upon them to take the needed steps to
curtail the expenditures. 1t is good
deal easier to talk about thing of this
kind than to bring about it's accom-
plishedment but something has got to be
done in the premises.
Reports from Washington from time
to time have indicated that President
Taft and the members of his cabinet
are alive to this crying necessity. They
are going to cut down expenses wher-
ever they can. But they are laboring
under terrific disadvantages. The trou-
BILE that confronts them is that there
does not appear to be any possible way
Of cutting down the great bulk OF the
expenditures for the time being. They
are necessary to meet the governmental
obligations which have been incurred
In fact, so many and so magnitudinal
were the plans for increased govern
mental activities during the recent ad-
rninistration, many of which have been
undertaken and which cannot now be
stopped. that there will be no appre-
ciable let up in the governmental ex-
pense for a few years to come, at any
rate. Such plans as Mr.. Taft and his
CO. workers devise for bringing the ex-
penses of the government to reason
able figures must be made for the flu
ture. But they will be needed then
quite as much as they are now.
This rather disastrous condition of
affairs in governmental finances seems
to have been brought about by a de-
sire to do things in a few years which
ought to be the work of a generation.
That's an American failing. Everyone
in the land wants to see the United
States grow and develop in all possible
ways but the fabric of it's growth
should be woven slowly and
with exceeding care If it Is to endure
A marvellous mechanism of most up
to-date and progressive government
will not be much of a priceless heritage
for the people of today to leave to the
succeeding generations, If 1T is going to
bankrupt them to keep its machinery
