ACQUISITION FOR

 Goes After Him.
PROMINENT CLUBMAN
Travelling in the East With Hi, Fam. i1y-Friends Say There is
 Some Mistake.

Little Rock, Aug. S.-(SpeciaD-In spite of efforts of state officials to keep the matter quiet until the pa pers had been served, it has leaked out that a requisition on the goyer- nor of New York has been issued by Governor Donaghey, asking for the return to Arkansas of R. Walker Balch in order that he might ans wer to a charge of forgery i'll the courts of Cross county. The raauisi- tion was issued to Sheriff Rolfe Fri day evening late, and hhe left ilnme- diately for New York with the war 1ant Balch is we'll known all oyer Arkansas, especially in Little Rock and Eastern Arkansas, where he has dealt extensively ill timber lands. It is stated the charges against Balch are that he forged the name of a grantor, his wife and notary public to deed executed in Cross county. It is reported there are several charges of forgery growing out of this trans action. Friends of MT. Balch be- lieve there is some mistake and that he will return to Arkansas as soon as notified of the proceedings, and see that everything is strengthened out in such a manner there is no blot left upon his name. R. w. Balch was for years we'll known clubman of Little Rock and at one time was member of the state legislature, serv- ing from Pulaski county in the house. While in the legislature he was the author of the Baleh insurance bill which caused considerable of 6 fight as it undertook to bring into the state the companies forced out by the passage of the antitrust bill Mr. Balch was married about two years ago to Miss Margaret Marshal of Fort Smith He has been a resident of Memphis for several years.
 
 uttered a deed on Poinsett county land which was delivered to J. Boles Martin, who signed the affidavit up- on which the warranc was issued. Balch is on summer trip with his family and announced when he left Memphis he would be away all sum- mer. He is supposed to have reached New York last week. Relatives here state there is no othr R. w. Balch who has been operating in Arkansas lands, and that it is evidently mis- take which will be explained soon. The relatives state Mr Balch has only acted as attorney for a Cincinnati concern in the land transactions, and consequently did not have any per sonal gain in the matter, which goes to show it must all be mistake. The value of the land in the alleged trans action is about $1,200.

No Laggard Democrats.

The campaign for Congress
which is just now being enter
ed upon is the most important
from partisan standpoint
since the memorable struggle
of 1896. 1t is the first time
since then that the Democrats
start in with an even chance
with their Republican oppon-
ents.
There must be no laggard
Democrats this year. Every
speaker Of prominence will be
expected to take the stump in
the interest of the Demoratic
Congressional candidates. The
main issues are plain and there
is no difference of opinion about
essentials, such as our Republi-
can friends are plagued with.
It is pleasant to note that
such an eminent Democrat as
Senator Arthur p. German, of
Maryland, has lately declared
that when the speaking opens,
he will take off his coat" and
use his best efforts for the
Democratic candidates in close
Congressional districts. Those
who know the striking style of
Senator German, and his power
as a political speaker will not
be surprised to hear that already
there is a great demand for his
services to uphold the banner of
Democracy.

BoasffuI Pahisans.

Republican newspapers and
spellbinders have been caught
in their own net through the
premature Boosting of larger
receipts from the tariff duties.
That carefully concocted dec
laration of the Republican
Ohio platform says that the
Payne tariff law has justified
the expectation of its friends
by turning a national deficit
into a surplus
Now for the facts: For the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1910.
there was deficit over all re-
ceipts of s25, ss4, 900, that in
cluded S34, 000,0 expenditures
on the Panama Canal, which if
excluded from the expenditures
would show surplus for the
fiscal year of 50. 402, 900. But if
the new corporation tax re-
ceipts of SIT 1862, 900 are deduct
ed, 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 be-
gan on July LIST to the end of
that month there has been a de-
ficit on account of the Panama
Canal of s. 40, PAL &c; and a to-
tai deficit of all disbursements
over all receipts of Sl4.033, 997. :
81. 1t is a fact that the month
of July generally shows def
cit, because the appropriations
for the new fiscal year become
available; but the deficit would
be much larger if it were not
for the revenue from the cor
poration tax, and the Taft adj
ministration would be facing a
bond issue or a resort to certifi-
Gates of indebtedness. 1t is no
secret in Washington that the
condition of the National finan-
ces is a source of worry to the
treasury officials, and it is ex-
pected that the receipts from
the tariff duties will not fulfill
the boasting of the Ohio plat
form.
