Status of the Dead beat.

No man is wholly free from sin. but
so many lesser evils are tolerated that
a man should hesitate long before be-
coming a deadbeat Criminals are
despised and abhorred, but to the dead
beat all that is coming, as well as the
contempt of his fellow men. There Is
something at once so mean and so lit
tie In taking advantage of the con-
fdence which comes with friendship
that the hand Of every man is turned
against a deadbeat as soon as his rep
utation is well established. The dead
beat may fondly imagine he is living
easy and making money without work.
and Of course he takes no account OF
the confidence he violates and the
hardshlps he inflicts on others. But.
that aside. he really has a harder time
than the man who Is honest and fair.
He is compelled to move good deal
and peace of mind he knows not. Like
other types Of crooks. he doesn't pros
per, and his finish is more unpleasant
than the beginning. ng.-Atchison Globe.

mer or middleman that will refuse to
sell. The days OF dollar wheat are
what the farmer has been wont 70
dream Of but never expected to real

The demand for the new wheat just
threshed Is therefore urgent and the
early harvesters find that the days OF
dollar wheat is still with them. The
days Of successive rich harvests have
placed them for the most part in po-
sition where they are obliged to sell
at either improbable or unsatisfactory
prices. A mortgageholder with the
threat to foreclose is not at their door
as formerly. The mortgage has been
satisfied and there Is money in the
bank to be drawn upon for improv-
fnents, or another money lender is
eager to take up the loan. for local
investment companies are eager for
such securities at the legal rate of in

dents. They are not the fruits Of

merely the inevitable concomitants of
an attempt to launch, in an era Of
unparalleled international prodigality,
new and preponderating world
power.
The external aspects of the thirty
/ eight years of daring enterprise that
has brought the German empire to
the dubious pass in which II today
finds itself are familiar enough to
Everybody. In 1871 the empire possess
ed no navy worthy Of the name; to-
day the kaiser's fleet ranks second
and every admiralties OF Europe,
and ever move at aggrandizement is
watched apprehensively by the pre-
mier naval power OF the world. In
1871 Germany boasted not one square
mile of outlaying territory; today she
is the mistress of colonial empire
comprising an esti mated extent of
1927 800 square miles (two-thirds the
area OF China) -and a population of
above twelve millions. The empire
maintains an army which is universal
ly recognized as the worlds most
splendid fighting machine. II has built
up an elaborate and costly system
whereby it insures its citizens against
sickness, accident, unemployment, old
age, and invalidity. 1t carries for
midable civil and military pension
roll. And II has developed one of the
most highly specialized corps of civil
service officials in the world.
The departure from the compara-
tive frugality of the early days came
about 1885, when Germany for the
first time went overdehnitely to a
policy OF colonial and naval aggran-
dizement. BY 1888 the early expen-
diture had risen to 740000,000 marks;
by 1895, to 1,SS0.000 900. In the decade
1S99-19OS it rose to 2,432,000,0O0. And
the budget for the current, year con-
templated originally an outlay Of o.
S65, 100000 marks. During the twenty
gears from 1888 to 1908 while the pop
ulation of the empire was increasing
by 80 per cent the imperial budget
was augmented by 230 per cent. Part
lof this vast increase has been occa-
stoned, of course. by the extension OF
the civil service and other inevitable
demands of the sort, hut very large
part of IL has been in behalf of the

The reccivership case of the Colum-
bus. Delaware and Marion Railway
company and It's three subsidiary com
panies was dismissed in the court of
common pleas. this morning, when
Judge Boston @. Young cancelled the
former orders. appointing George
Whysall receiver of the hold
ing company and its three subsidiary
companies. and discharged the re-
ceiver.
The court in making the order
stated that IL was by no means an
admission that the local court had
no Jurisdiction nthe case but that
an agreement having been reached,
II was deemed to be for the best in
terests of the properties. the stock
holders and the creditors to permit
the action taken by Judge Kinkead
in Columbus to go undisputed. Had
the court here held to its right
a costly and lengthy legal battle
would have been fought and as long
delay with numerous tangles between
the receivers would have been oc-
casloned, and would have resulted in
much injury to the property.
Word was received here. this morn
ing. to the effect that Judge Kinkead
has decided to appoint George Why
sail co-recelver with Eli M. West
and Mr.. Whysall will continue as gen.
eral manager of the properties. This
Is practically n victory for Mr.. Why
sail and the interests he represents.
He will have charge of the property
and its operation and will have in
reality more power than Mr.. West,
who was appointed yesterday by
Judge Kinkead in the Franklin
county common pleas court.
In the journal entry it is stated
that the court on It's own motion dis
charges the receiver and dsmisses
the petition of Newton j. Catrow.
against the Columbus. Delaware and
Marion Railway company. The re-
ceiver must make an accounting to
the court of common pleas of Franklin
county, IL such an accounting is nee
cessary.
Yesterday was pay day for the c.,
ID. and NJ employees but the pay en-
velopes were not on hand for the first
time i'm the history of the line. Each
was told that no money can be paid
out until the receivership tangle is
Strengthened out which, IL is prob
able, will occur today and the men
will receive their money tomorrow.
Notices posted over the line, to the
effect that a receiver was appointed
on the local court of common pleas
and that an Injunction had been is
ued restraining any and all persons
from interfering with the receiver in
the operation of the roads, were to-
day removed and as soon as the re-
celvership is determined will be re-
placed by others.
In the order of Judge Young no
mention was made of the former
order requiring Attorney Earl Turner
to return the papers taken from this
court but II Is supposed that since
the case has been dismissed the court
will not inforce the order
