~ DEFICITS, PAST AND PRESENT.
We cannot understand why the per.
cnnial deficit should worry the incom.
Ing legislature more than IL has the
last three or four. There has been a
deficit of about 5000. 600 every June
Tor several years. and the last legis-
lature, with every appearance of con-
fidence in the supernatural abilities
OF Governor Wilson, Capt. Ed Farley
and the administration. added TO the
burden by appropriatlng $500 900
FOR state normal schools. without
fither taking cognizance OF the exist
ing deficit or providing revenue with
which 10 meet the new obligation
How Captain Farley has been able TO
seo-saw his way through is a marvel;
but he has done II philosOphically and
with d minimum amount of friction
One thing he has done that his pre-
teressor did not do-he has ssen to II
that the teachers receive first atten-
tion in the distribution OF the money

,oniy did the general assembly OF the
, Cumberland Presbyterian church de-
clare It's adherence to the principles
of the prohibition. but went a step

Ing that mo person or set of men

ceive the votes OF christian men, and
any candidate for office who declines
to speak openly against the traffic
deserves not and should not receive

I'VE have not the control OF the
mouths nor can we hope TO gain that
control, but by our prayerful united
effort II is possible and probable that
we can control this traffic before IL
reaches the mouths of our future and
many of our present generation"
The adoption of these resolutions
came after the original draft which
proposed that mo party" which fav-
ored the licensing OF the liquor traf-
fic should be supported was amended
to read as quoted
Debate for time was spirited, II
being contended that as rendered the
resolution might be construed as q

ROGERS SON
NOT SUCCESSOR
Son-in-law Will Manage Mag
mates Affairs.
People of Fair Haven Interested q
Know What requests He Made
TO Public Institutions.
WILL OPEN WILL THIS WEEK

Fair Haven, Mass, May U.s.
James NJ. Beck, personal attorney for
II. H. Rogers, is authority for the
statement that the will of the dead
hnancier will be read In New York
some time this week to the members
of the immediate family and will be
Offered for probate in the metropolis
within ten days.
| All the members OF the Rogers
family who came here for the funeral
Including Mrs. Rogers, Mr.. and Mrs.
U. BrOughton and Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam Coe, left Fair Haven for New
York this morning. A special train
conveyed the party back to their
home city.
Attorney Beck confirmed the state
lment that Mr.. Rogers had made
will and that the document was In
his possession at the present time.
He declined to discuss any of the pro-
visions of the will.
With regard to whom the successor
of Mr.. Rogers will be in taking up
the financial burdens which the de-
ceased magnate bore with exceptional
skill, It is confidently asserted that
the person will not be H. II.
Rogers, Jr,
Broughton to Succeed.
It is a matter Of common knowl-
edge in Mr.. Rogers home town that
his son has moths fathers ability IN
business matters, despite the fact that
the elder Rogers has trained his boy
to be his successor.
Urban h Btoughton, one of Mr..
Rogers three taons-inrlaw, it is. be-
lieYed here wiibb be his business sue
cessor. Mr.. Broughton has been inti-
mately associated with the dead finan
eier for years in the administration
of his financial affairs, and especially
in the control of his property inter
ests outside of the oil business.
In his official connection with the
Amalgamated Copper company, Mr..
BroughtOn has had entire charge of
Mr. Rogers interest in copper deals.
The fact that a year ago when Mr..
Rogers was summoned to appear In a
lawsuit in Massachusetts,, Brough-
toms testimony was accepted as the
final word regarding Mr.. Rogers con-
dition, is another reason for strength
ening the belief that he will step into
his chiefs business shoes.
The residents of Mr.. Rogers home
town have for years been benefactors
OF his generosity. A half dozen or
more magnificent public institutions
stand as proof OF his love for his fell
low-townsmen. The residents are
now particularly interested in the
provisions he has made for the main
tenance of some OF the public build
ings he has given Fair Haven.
It became known today that he
had made provision in his will for the
Fair Haven high school. the last of
his gifts to the town. and the only
'ne that has not been provided for
by its donor.
