consistent with is dignity, its duty to

the attention of the congress in a
special message
Open Door Policy Unchanged.
Concerning the Far East, the pres
ident says this government preserves
unchanged its policy of supporting the
open door" and adds:
Cordial Relations With Japan.
"Our traditional relations with the
japanese empire continue cordial as
usual The arrangement of 1908 for
cooperative control of the coming Of
laborers to the United states has
proved to work satisfactorily
Reorganization of the department
OF state upon modern lines in further
ance of our foreign trades and Ameri-
can interests abroad is recommended.

"the most important question pre-
sented to this administration is that
of economy in expenditures and suffic-
iency of revenue.
Bond Issue TO Care for Deficit.
THE report of the secretary shows
that the ordinary expenditures for the
current fiscal year ending June 80.
1910, will exceed the receipts by S34,-
O75,620. II to this deficit is added
the sum to be disbursed for the Pana-
ma canal amounting to $3S.000.0O0

and expenditures will be increased to
a total deficit of S73.075.62O This de-

bers of congress that Il should be
a thorough investigau0 the GUS

frauds at the port of New York, there
seems to be no disposition to take the

and the department of justice.
Three resolutions bearing upon this
subject, introduced in the house yes
terday, were referred to the commit =
tee ON rules. Representative Campbell
of Kansas, who is the author of one
of the resolutions called at the de-
partment of justice during the day to
ascertain the attitude of the depart
ment toward his measure. In con-
versation with Attorney General Wick
ersham, he heard emphasized the de-
sire expressed by the president in his
message that congress should keep
hands Off at present.
MIR. Campbell said afterward that
he told Mr.. Wickersham that there
was a mass of testimony to be had
bearing upon frauds in the customs
service, which would he irrevelevant
in a law suit, but which would be per-
tinent for the country to know and
could be brought to light only by
means of a congressional inquiry. Mr..
Campbell assured Mr.. Wickersham
that there was no desire on the part
of himself or other members to inter-
fere with the work of the executive
departments
Mr.. Campbell said he intended to
have conference with the commit
tee on rules in regard to his resou-
tion in order to ascertain the pros

spring and summer stock of cloth
ing. While the snow is still on the
ground and billiards have been
raging, he has been picking out the
cloths and styles for summer suits,
etc., and they are being made up I'M
der his direction. It's no new story.
1t has been going on for thirty
three years, and during all these
years the business of the big store
has been growing steadily. The
reason is because there is not the
slightest detail of this big business
that gets away from Mr.. Bear. He
knows it and watches it from A. tc
z. He's going to tell you about the
big new stock now coming in. Watch

There was an error in the town

filed with the County Auditor and as
it appeared in the papers. The re-
port contained items of both hve
and two per cent, commission paid
to the township clerk, when as a
matter of fact he received only two
per cent, as the law allows. The
item of five per cent was put in by
mistake and then corrected, the law
formerly allowing five per cent,
which accounts for the two items in
the report. Mr.. thyme, the clerk,
received only the two per cent.
