No well ordered government Is now without its deficit" says The New York Post. Really. now. we don't know wh ether this is a well ordered govern ment or not, but 1t has the deficit all right-or all wrong, as the case may be. The latest statement we have seen shows that the deficit is now about one hundred and forty million dollars and growing like a well fed healthy child. Whether those who have had control of the government for q number of years are gratified over this evidence of their inability or in- difference, whichever 1t may be, we are not prepared to say. but we do not think they can feel proud of the condi- tions and prospects.
 The time has been in the life of our government when one of the objects kept in view by the statsmen who had charge of public affairs was to keep the expenses of the government be- low the revenue, but we have fallen on different times now. Reckless ex- travagance has full swing, and it real ly looks as if some of those who have and have had, control of our financial affairs are desirous of bankrupting the government if possible. As a matter of fact is ours a well ordered govern ment?

M,ssouri,. Bed-sheet Bill.

St. LOUIS GlODe DeillOcTat- -
 The engrossment in the, Missouri senate of a bill introduced by Senator oliver, which has become known as the "nine-foot bed-sheet law has aroused the opposition of St. Louis ho- tel men. At meeting held at the Planters Hotel last week the hotel men decided to fight the bill. They have since written the representa- tives and senators of their acQuaint- ance, urging them to work Tor the defeat of the measure.
 The hotel men class the bill as non sensical, and say that they at first re- garded it as joke. not believing that 1t could possibly become a law: They now realize that there Is a probability of it's being passed. or. as they ex- press it, rallroaded through.
 One of the provisions of the bill hotel men Is that providing for the appointment of a hotel inspector al q salary of $2.000 year and four dep uties at $1.200 year each to see that the law Is enforced. Each hotel Is to be inspected at least once annually. and If the inspector finds that the law has been complied with he will issue a certificate to that effect. which must be conspicuously posted in the hotel. The inspector may also charge a fee of $5 for inspecting hotels of 20 rooms or less and $l0 for those of more thnn 20 rooms.

Work Of "whItewash. Car.

Curiosity is often displayed by tray elers over the method employed in making mile after mile of trackase so level that scarcely an undulation can be felt as the whizzing train reels off the laps. This levelness Is maintained by the ''whitewash" car.
 The "whitewash" car Is an ordinary vehicle fitted out with sort of white- wash magazine. As the cars run over the rails at a moderate gait the de- veloped sense of the division officials notes any inequalities. and at each one a valve is pressed. whereat dash Of whitewash falls on the tracks at the points where later the working gangs Ret busy to make things even.
 This homeiy, "Yhitewash" car is giving way rapidly. however. to a more modern and scientific arrangement in the way of a handsome coach elegant Iy fitted out with many comforts, and in which is'to be found a delicate in- strument. This latter is SO construc- ted that 1t registers all unevenness In the tracks on paper, which has indica. ted on 1t the mileage and names Of stations along the way, so that when a run Is completed It will show just where repairing needs to be done. Tine indicating sheet Is sent to the proper department heads of the conn pzny, and by. them the work of nak- Ing the roadbed level Is prosecuted.

 In the popular mind. perhaps the highest achievement of David Living ston WAS the discovery of the victo- ria Falls on the Zambesi River. Be. sides his own simple. straightforvard journals. volumes have been written of these wonderful thirty years in ,Af- rica. On the sixteenth of November, 1881. there occurred an immortal scene. For two years Livingstone had been dead to the outside world. All efforts to find him proved unavaiiing. Henry Morton Stanley. sent out by James Gordon Bennett of New York. finally reached Ujiji on Lake Tanganyika- Hearing the English language. he knew that he had found the efeat ex- pfofer. No meeting of kings Oh field of cloth of gold could exceed that one in simple majesty. stanley took off his hat. pr. Livingstone. prs- sume." 'Yes." answered ,Livfhgstona. with his wonderful wan smile. For some months the two men travelled together Then Stanley returned to England. There was some feeling of jealousy because an American had succeeded where others failed. but in the end the Geographical Society awarded him Q medal. and Queen vic- toria presented the usual snuff-box set with diamonds.
 Since Stanleys time, there have been many African explorers; Joseph Thom- son who discovered Lake Albert Ed ward, the last of the chain; the Duke Of the Abruzzi who scaled the Ruwen- zori Mountains: A. Henry Savage LAn- dor who crossed the continent from ocean to ocean; Sir Henry Johnson who sent home the first okapi skin: and many others. Y A;
 Perhaps one of the most interesting of the recent expeditions was the Alexander Gosling party. Three young officers of the British army, with Lake Chad as their objective point, entered Africa at the Gulf Of Guinea in 1904 and emerged at tho Red Sea in 1907 after a journey of more than 5000 miles. chiefly by water. Among its contributions to science were a,boo bird skins. a large collection of fishes from Lake Chad. and the skins of many mammals. Fa tcopyright. 1909. by Frederic J. Has kin.) . ~

THE REAL SUFFERERS.

Pennsylvania, industrially, is one of the richest, if not the richest State in the Union. But Pennsylvania. like AL abama, suffered keeniy from the ef- fects of the recent panic.
 The rich lost most in money. but the people who suffered most were those who worked on the farms and whose wages and salaries supported families. Dividends and interest were cut off, but the people who had been receiving div idends and interest could afford to see them pass for a few months. But the men. upon whom the hardships of the panic bore most were men working for small salaries and wages and whose families were without resources when the wages and salaries were cut off. To save itself as far as possible from the consequence of the panic the Pennsyl- vania Railroad. one of the strongest railroads of the country, cut expenses In the year of 1908 to the amount of $22. 2.000,0O0. This saving was largely through the reduction of its working force-that is by the discharge of many of its workmen. Another saving was the suspension of improvements and extension and the reduction of buying to a minimum by means of which thou sands of workmen in industrial plants and factories lost their jobs.
 An object lesson nearer home was found in the report of the Central of Georgia, which met the emergency in much the same way and which was forced to discharge thousands of its employees. Business men of Montgom- cry may recall without trouble. the time in recent months when sober, and industrious workmen stood on the street corners with their hands in their pockets and without employment.
 And yet when the agitator starts out to win office by arousing class against class he appeals to the workman and the farmer. A campaign of agitation has never been made in the interest ot the rich man. And when every tenn porarily successful campaign of class agitation has collapsed as they inevit- ably do, the real sufferers are not the wealthy.
 The Easton tPa.) Call, in the follow ing brief editorial tells of the panic in Pennsylvania:
 The annual report of the Pennsyl- vania railroad for 1908, which was made public last week. tells the story of the business situation of the coun- try in the most emphatic language. Ac- cording to the company's report of the lines directly operated by 1t the gross earningssfor 1908 were s2S.ooO,O00 less than in 1907.
 The report also shows the means ta- ken by the management, whereby 1t was enabled to reduce operating ex- l penses over $22,000, 900 and thereby re- duce the decrease in net earnings to | slightly in excess of $6,000.000. 1 The $22,000.00O saved" was largely and by restricted purchase of goods made by different manufacturing estab- ! lishments. The second best customer of the American manuacturer is tho l railroad company. When the railroads business Is interfered with by foolish 1 legislation and harassing and costly Litigation the result is seen in fewer l Demagogs may rant against the exac- | tions of the railroads but the man who l earns his bread by the skill of his hands and the sweat of his brow is 1 fool who helps the agitator to distress l and oppress his best friend.

A MORNING THOUGHT
BY J. MARVIN NICHOLS.

The beautiful raindrop fingers on
 your hand. Place pow sso.eie' ny arfS sran YoD Si 1xer s sse t: cover in 1t all the restless- ness of a shoreless sea Every particle of 1t is in perpetual motion. Its tides have their eob s,,n and flow; ,ha Its .,ors tiny Now they chase each other out toward the open sea. A deeper look reveals countless organisms in Its fathomless ocean in miniature. What of the tear that distifls itself on the lashes or those deep brown eyes? Here's anoth- CT sea in miniature-the wide, wide sea of life. Every passing n,s,,sn snadow ts., tear to diamonds In Its silent depths the tides of life have come and gone. Oh, If you only knew the history or
 tear! Whence came me they, ana ana why ny they always hail from-stormy zones, or do, they finger just to dissolve them selves into thousand rainbow tints when thessun shines out again? i.

 Lights and shadows tell us that trav- cling in the winter we often see some naked. ugly tree, stripped of her fon- age, and raising her ugly branches spark of life is seen. and we wonder why 1t is spared the woodman's axe. Tn the spring the sap comes, the barren limbs grow green ana Inak WnlCn marred the landscape becomes a thing of beauty. and even of refuge from the ,sultry sun. All that was lacking was the season of usefulness-frond- esence.. Human beings are like that tree. The race is like a forest. Many that are barren need only the warm touch of spring-the season of oppor- tunity, the sap of encouragement and kindness, to bring out their ornamental and beautiful characteristics.
 
 The calm man is always loved and revered. He is liirs the shade of tree in a desert land. or shelter in the time of storm. The question 10 asked--who does not love a tranquil heart, a. sweet-tempered. balanced life? It does not matter whether 1t rains or shines, or what changes come flor they are always sweet serene and calm. That exquisite poise of charac- ter which we call serenity is the last lesson of true culture. It is the full blown flower of life.
 What an age this is! Everybody straining for the ground floor: every body pulling for advance information; everybody trying to. get a peep behind the scenes
 Step a trife beyond the surging crowds. : ssf 4
 Doing the work of the present hour faithfully Is always noble.

A COMPLICATION SETTLED.

Some queer problems come up for settlement before the Board of Ap- praisers of the New York Customs au- 1 thorities. and 1t often becomes neces- sary for those officials to decide wheth- CT imported articles are properly nam ed and classified. as the tariff duties vary considerably. An importer may declare an article under one name which would only demand the pay meut of minimum tariff. but the board may call it something else and affix much higher duty. The matter of knives recently came up for dispute, and The New Bedford Standard says of it
 The state of mind that would do up knife blade in handle shaped like comprehensible from the standpoint of suitability and good taste as che pen cils one sees on the market in the shaps of gun te. Yet fniySI miadY thst toilet and other implements ard arti- cles were imported and were held up at the port of New York because the importer insisted, on paying duty on no argument that they wero diminu- tive In size. or low in cost. Or of un- usual shape could convince the ap- praisers or the. court that they. were toys. The one test of toy. that It Is R something used by children as plaything-a dangerous test. possibly, since 1t might in too many cases place even parents in t1e category was not applied with the proper re- sponse, even while Q measure of douht seemed still to exist as to whether it were a knife. Both appraisers and court were of. the firm conviction that it was manufacture of metal but as the question raised was merelytas be- tween the matter of toy and knfe, tho obvious conclusion was barred out The duty on toys is thirty five per cent. ad valorem, the duty on knives forty per cent, and the duty on manufactures of metal forty-hVe per cent. Hence the zeal of the importer or the ciassI- ficatton as toys.
 We suppose if any one should ask the question. When is knife not knife? or. When is not q knife knife. the answers would be widely at vari- ance A knife blade might be attach. ed to a walking cane, for example, and some would call 1t stick and others A knife. and so of other forms. A knife may be made in such shape and size as to be really nothing more than tov. and yet be possessed of blade that could be used as a knife. The case recently settled by the apprais- CTS is but one of the many that come before them, and If they sometimes

The British idea of humor has ever been a joke as well as a mystery to the people of this country. It has be- come almost a proverb over here that the average Englishmen can never un- derstand an American joke without a diagram, while on the other hand they are able to find amusement where no one else could discover it with mi croscope. As an example, we find a prominent London man telling The New York Telegram that Carrie Nation Is source of great amusement to the English people" Now what do you think of that? Aunt Carrie. the most unmitigated pest and nuisance that ever worried sensible people looked on as "a source of great amusement" is very near the limit.

We consider 1t right down. cruel, that's what it is. now that prohibition has us in its clutches, to be told by such high authority as The Northwestern Christian Advocate, that "a wineglass full of whiskey improves pound cake" We infer, of course, that the whiskey is to be used as one of the ingredients when the cook starts in to construct perfect cake, but how Is the whiskey to be obtained where pro- hibifion is supreme? We suppose It could hardly be obtained on doctors prescription. if 1t is to be used in mak-, ing pound cake, and If one gets it on the sly there's no surety that 1t win be good. What Is the lover of cake to do7
