to the window and looked out and
then l called her. We saw the
strangest beast or bird, don't know
which, you ever heard of.
cit was about three and half feet
high, with head like a collie dog and
face like a horse. 1t had long
neck, wings about two feet long. and
its back legs were like those OF a
crane, and 1t had horses hoofs. 1t
walked on its back legs and held up
two short front legs with paws on
them.
GAS far as could tell, the thing
seemed to be trying to get into the
shed. Ny wife and l were scared,
tell you, but I managed to open the
window and say Shoot and 1t turned
around, barked at me. and then flew
away"
The tracks were fret seen after the
heavy snowfall, but at first nothing
was said about them, as they were be-
lieved to be the work Of some practical
joker. Then it was noticed that the

Marks OF the beast were found in
Gloucester, Mount Holly, Clayton.
Woodbury., Wenonah. Mantua. Pauls-

and other towns within a radius Of
twenty miles or more. This nearly up
set the theory that it was the work of
joker and the Oldest inhabitant got
busy.
He remembered that as far back as
1869 that part of South Jersey was

as Leeds Devil" because It was sup

Bringantine beach. The ~devils reap

recently as 1904.
Early In the morning there came a
report that the monstrosity had
crossed the river and was disporting
himself In the yards of residents Of

elphia.-Clearly defined in the
crust of the snow, the footprints of
two-legged beast or bird, shod with
steel, are creating a tremendous SEN
sation IN this city and the South Jer
sey towns. People who read this mar
rative may form their own opinions as
to the cause of these manifestations.
1t was originally intended to treat
this subject with light and scoffing
touch; to make merry over the mys-
terry of the Leeds Devil that has
transformed scores Of towns and ham,
let's in Camden, Gloucester and Bur.
lington counties. into settlements of
timid folk, where women and children
fear to walk abroad at night, and
armed men make nocturnal searches.
Before noon, however, the telephone
wires were hot with messages from
persons who had seen the footprints.
Two men declared they had seen the
marks in their own yards in this city.
They were William L. Smith and VIII
liam Heimbold, and. their neighbors
know them for sober and truthful men.
Of course, practical people scoff at
these reports. but none has yet offered
an explanation that will meet the sit
uation. Then comes Nelson Evans,
paper hanger of Gloucester City, with
the declaration that he and his wife
saw the devil early in the morning
as he sat on the roof of their back
shed.

business methods are another neces-
sary tax upon government which did
not exist half century ago.
Proper Forms of Expenditure.
The putting into force of laws which
shall secure the conservation of. our
resources so far as they may be with
in the jurisdiction of the federal gov
eminent, including the most important
work Of saving and restoring our for
ests. and the great improvement of wa
terways are all props government
functions which must involve large
expenditure if properly performed.
While some of them, like the reclama-
ton Of arid lands, are made to pay
for themselves, others are of such an
indirect benefit that this cannot be eX-
pected Of them. A permanent i'm
provement, like the Panama canal,
should be treated as a distinct enter
prise and should be paid for by the
proceeds Of bonds, the issue of which
will distribute its cost between the
present and future generations in ac-
cordance with the benefits derived. 1t
may well be submitted to the serious
consideration Of congress whether the
deepening and control Of the channel
of a great river system like that of the
Ohio or of the Mississippi when def
mite and practical plans for the enter
prise have been approved and deter
mined upon should not be provided for
In the same way.
Then, too, there are expenditures Of
government absolutely necessary if our
country is TO maintain its proper place
among the nations of the world and is
to exercise its proper influence In de-
Tense of its own trade interests in the
maintenance of traditional American
policy against the colonization of Eu-
ropean monarchies in this hemisphere
and in the promotion Of peace and In
ternational morality. I refer to the
cost of maintaining a proper army.

stood that She never Intends to back
up her assertion Of right and her de-
Tense Of her interest by anything but
mere verbal protest and diplomatic
note. For these reasons the expenses
Of the army and navy and Of coast de-
lenses should always be considered as
something which the government must
pay for. and they should not be cut or
through mere consideration Of econ
omy. Our government is able to af-
ford a suitable army and Il suitable
navy. 1t may maintain them without
the slightest danger to the republic or
the cause Of free institutions, and fear
Of additional taxation ought not to
change a proper policy in this regard.
Protection FOR Our Citizens Abroad.
The policy Of the United States in
the Spanish war and since has giveI
it a position of influence among the
nations that it never had before and
should be constantly exerted to secur-
ing 70 its bona fide citizens, whether
natiTe or naturaIized, respect for them
as such in foreign countries. We

predecessor has in many speeches and
messages set out with great force and
striking language the necessity for
maintaining a strong navy commensu-
rate with the coast line, the govern
mental resources and the foreign trade
of our natieh, and | wish to reiterate
all the reasons which he has presented
In favor Of the policy Of maintaining
a strong navy as the best conservator
of our peace with other nations and
the best means of securing respect for
the assertion OF our rights, the defense
Of our interests and the exercise Of
our influence in international matters.
Must Arm as Other Nations Do.
Our international policy is always to
promote peace. We shall enter into
any war with a full consciousness of
the awful consequences that it always
entails, whether successful or not, and
we, of course, shall make every effort,
consistent with national honor and the
highest national interest, to avoid a
resort to arms. We favor every instru-

bunal and arbitration treaties made
with q view to its use in all interna-
tional controversies, in order to main
tain peace and to avoid war. But we
should be blind to existing conditions
and should allow ourselves to become
foolish idealists if we did not realize
that, with all the nations of the world
armed and prepared for war, we must
be ourselves in a similar condition in
order tc prevent other nations from
taking advantage Of us and of our in
ability to defend our interests and as
sert our rights with strong hand.
In the international controversies that
are likely to arise In the orient, grow
ing out OF the question of the
open door and other issues, the
United States can maintain her inter
ests intact and can secure respect for
her just demands. She win not be
able to do so. however, If it is under

proper navy and suitable Notifications
upon the mainland OF the United
States and in its dependencies.
The Army and Navy.
We should have an army so organ
lied and so Offered as to be capable
in time of emergency in cooperation
with the national militia and under
the provisions Of a proper national
volunteer law rapidly TO expand into
force sufficient to resist all probable
invasion from abroad and to furnish a
respectable expeditionary force, If nee
essary, in the maintenance of our ira
ditional American policy which bears
tine name Of President Monroe
Our Notifications are yet in a state
Of only partial completeness, and the
number Of men to man them is INSULT
cient. In few years, however, the
usual annual appropriations for our
coast defenses, both on the mainland
and in the dependencies, will make
them sufficient to resist all direct at
tack, and by that time we may hope
that the men to man them will be pro-
vided as a necessary adjunct The
distance of our shores from Europe
and Asia, Of course, reduces the ne
cessity for maintaining under arms a
great army, but it does not take away
the requirement of mere prudence,
that we should have an army suffi-
GENTLY large and so constituted as to
form nucleus out of which a suitable
force can quickly grow.
What has been said of the army
may be affirmed in even a more en-
phatic way OF the navy. A modern
navy cannot be improvised. 1t must
bd built and in existence when the
emergency arises which calls for its
useland operation. My distinguished

an extent that the expenditures for
the current fiscal year viii exceed the
receipts by S1OO,OO0,0OO. 1t is impera-
tive that such a deficit shall not con
tinue, and the trainers of the tariff
bin must of course have In mind the
total revenues likely to be produced by
it and so arrange the duties as to Sc
cure an adequate income. Should it be
impossible to do so by import duties
new kinds OF taxation must be adopt
ed. and among these 1 recommend a
graduated inheritance tax as correc'
in principle and as certain and easy Of
collection.
Government Economy Urged.
The obligation on the part OF those
responsible for the expenditures made
to carry on the government to be as
economical as possible and to make
the burden of taxation as light as pos
sible is plain and should be affirmed in
every declaration of government pol
icy. This is especially true when we
are face to face with a heavy deficit.
But when the desire TO win the pOpu-
lar approval leads to the cutting off of
expenditures really needed to make
the government effective and to en-.
able it to accomplish its proper objects
the result is as much to be condemned
as the waste of government funds in
unnecessary expenditure.
In the department of agriculture the
use of scientific experiments on large
scale and the spread Of information
derived from them for the improve
ment of general agriculture must go

to meet on the 18th day Of March, in
order that consideration may be at
once given TO bill revising the Ding
ley act. This should secure an ade-
quate revenue and adjust the duties in
such a manner as to afford to labor
and to all industries in this country,
whether of the farm, mine or factory,
protection by tariff equal to the differ
ence between the cost of production
abroad and the cost of production here
ana have a provision which shall put
into force, upon executive determina-
ton Of certain facts. higher or maxi.
mum tariff against those countries
whose trade policy toward us equitably
requires such discrimination. 1t is
thought that there has been such q
change in conditions since the enact
ment Of the Dingley act, drafted on
similarly protective principle, that the
measure of the tariff above stated will
permit the reduction of rates in certain
schedules and will require the ad-
yancement of few, If any.
The proposal TO revise the tariff
made in such an authoritative way as
to lead the business community to
count upon it necessarily halts all
those branches Of business directly
affected, and as these are most i'm
portant it disturbs the whole business
Of the country. 1t is imperatively nee
essary, therefore, that tariff bill be
drawn in good faith in accordance
with promises made before the cleo
ton by the party in power and as
promptly passed as due consideration
will permit.
