rae WISH no be- SMART.

Some persons believe that every wo-
mans ambition is to be considered
smart in appearance. but from high
authority comes the information that
for every woman who wants to be
smart there are ten who want TO be
well dressed.
ITO be smart" he says. sis to go in
for all that is newest and most ex-
treme. To be well dressed often means
to avoid these things. The woman
who dresses well knows just when and
20 what extent to follow fashion and
when TO assert her own individuality.
She Is capable OF much greater dis
criminauon than the woman who
achieves only smartness"

ANTE M0RTEM KINDNESS

1t has been our policy through life
to give to our fellow men whenever
and wherever possible ante-mortem.
rather than post norton kindness.
We want our flowers while we live.
not when death has closed our eyes,
to their beauty and deprived our
senses of their sweetness. Give the
living nowers, the dead cannot appre-
ciate them: and give the living words
of good cheer, tell them of their good
deeds, don't wait until you write their
obituary when death comes and then
say something kindly about them.
And so it is that the New York Sun
who bitterly fought, and opposed Ma
yor Gaynor's election. realizing he is
man of mark. acknowledges the Mayors
worth in the following little gem of
an editorial;
Disappointing the expectations of
those who opposed his election. and
surprising the highest hopes of his
friends. Mr.. Gaynor has been a memoir
ably efficient Mayor. yigilant always
to the public interest. wise with GER
tain taking simplicity. eager to correct
abuses. singularly brave, intelligent
and alert. full of human and homely
tang. Those who. like us. doubted the
wisdom of his election. bear hearty
testimony to the superior wisdom of the
people and TO his fine qualities. and
trust that he will live to continue his
admirable public service and inciden-
tally to know by happier than post
humous fame how thoroughly he has
earned the good will of his fellow citi-
zens.

RATES OF ADVERTISING.
B0ASTFUL PATRIOTS

Republican newspapers and SPELL
biz ders have been caught in their own
net through the premature Boosting of
larger receipts from the tariff duties.
That carefully concocted declaration of
the Republican Ohio platform says that
the Payne tariff law has justified the
expectation Of its friend by turning a
national deficit into a surplus.
Now for the facts: For the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1910. there was a
deficit over all receipts OF SIS, 884, 600,
that included S3i, OOO.0 expenditures
on the Panama Canal, which if excluded
from the expenditures would show a
surplus for the fiscal year of 50. 402. 900.
But if the new corporation tax receipts
of ST.. 1862, 600 are deducted. and it is
virtually being held in escrow until the
Supreme Courts decides on its constitu
tionality. the deficit would be that much
increased.
Since the new fiscal year began on
July LIST TO the end of that month there
has been a deGcit Of So 1913, 756. So. and
there is further deficit on account of
the Panama Canal of 81. 440. 24l. 226,
and total deficit Of all disbursements
over all receipts of Sl4, 033. 997 81. 1t
is a fact that the month Of July gen
orally shows deficit. because the APP
preparations for the new fiscal year
become available: but the deficit would
be much larger if it were not for the
revenue from the corporation tax, and
the Taft administration would be fac
ing a bond issue or a resort to ceritfi .
Gates of indebtedness. 1t is no secret
in Washington that the condition of
the National finances is source of
worry to the treasury officials. and it
is expected that the receipts from the
tariff duties will not fulfill the boast
ing fo the Ohio platform.
