SPENDING MORE
THAN TAKEN IN
Government Record I'm
der Republican Rule.
A BIG DEFICIT IS APPARENT
Tavenner, Writer and Think
err, Gives the Facts as
They Really Exist.
WHAT PLAIN FIGURES SHOW

by Clyde H. Tavenner, Special
Washington Cor of The Herald.
Washington, Sept. spending
nearly 100000 a day more than il
took in, the Government closed the
month of August with a deficit ap-
prOximating $5,O0O,OOO which is in
dicatiye of a deficit of 100000, 200
for this fiscal year, as against def
icit of $19,4SO,752.43 for the last
fiscal year.
This deficit was due to two prin-
cipal causes:
First. The unparalleled extrava-
gance of the standpat faction OF the
Republican party, which is in control
of the Government.
Second. Failure of the Payne
Aldrich tariff law to produce suffi-
cient revenue to meet the expenses
of the Government.
Excess of expenditures over re-
ceipts is not new in the history of
the party now in power. For three
or four years now the Government
has been closing its books each night
facing a big deficit in the days bus
mess. But the average American
does not know this. While there
would be no justification for stating
in this dispatch that the big press
associations misstate the facts, there
is ample justification for saying that
the facts are so stated that the aver
age man does not understand them.
For instance, the statement of the
treasury issued at the close of bust
ness August 81, shows that the ex-
cess of expenditures over receipts for
July and the first q days of August,
1910, amounted to $14,43f,727.34,
or an average deficit of s2SS,634.54
for each banking day in that period.
No one could possibly so understand
the situation, however, from the re-
ports carried by the big press assO-
Citations, which invariably give the
administration side of the Govern
ment finances.
If a business firm should spend
more than it took in. day after day,
week after week, month after month
and year after year, it is but natural
to assume that the stockholders
would demand a new management
Yet the men in charge of the Gov
eminent have for years been able to
overspend the receipts without hav-
ing been called to account by the
public. This can be explained, how
ever, by the fac that the average
man is not by any means aware of
the actual situation.

SAYS IT DIDN'T BUY
KENTUCKY Burnley POOL
Big Trust Says Price Was Too
High-Bumper Crop is
Coming On.

New York, Sept. 5.-"The Ameri-
can Tobacco Company has not
bought one pound of the Kentucky
Burley POOLS tobacco" a high Off
cial of the company said here. Be-
yOnd a simple denial of the sugges-
tion he refused to go, on the ground
that it was not proper matter for
discussion.
The attitude of those responsible
for the American Tobacco COmpany's
business policy is that there is no
need to worry this season about raw
material and that the price demand
ed by the Burley society is too high.
The American Tobacco Company
had a representative at Lexington,
where the Burley POOLS tobacco was
offered on August 16, but not a
pound of the tobacco was purchased
because the representative of the
company was not permitted to pay
the 1S-cent price demanded, for
which the pool succeeded in selling
some 1850 hogsheads to the Rey-
nolds interests.
A man who is in touch with the
company's affairs said to-day that the
American Tobacco interests were con-
fident that this year would produce
$50, 200, 900 pounds of leaf. This will
begin to come into the market with
in a couple of months, it is expect
ed, for there is little faith here in
the ability of the planters to hold
the 1910 crop in pool. The consum-
ers are in a safe position as regards
supplies and can afford to wait, they
say.

COURT SHOCKED At
DISCLOSURES MADE
In Ohio County CaSe-Judge
Birkhead Renders Opinion
And Comments Thereon.

Judge Birkhead handed down a de-
cision on Saturday in the case of
Clay Taylor against ]. H. Grogg and
others, pending in the Ohio Circuit
Court, in which there is a partial
victory for the defendants. The suit
was brought to set aside and have
cancelled a deed to 424 acres of land
in Ohio county upon the grounds that
at the time the deed was made, the
plaintiff was mentally incapaciated,
and also upon the grounds of fall
ure of consideration, upon the idea
that the stock in a certain coal com
pany, which was to be taken as part
payment of the land, would sell on
the market at par value. The opinion
shows that Judge Birkhead has given
this case considerable thought, and
he says the plea of insanity of the
plaintiff is not sustained, and he re-
fuses to order the contracts cancell-
ed. The court, however, says tEat
there has been failure in the con-
sideration, and directs that the de-
PENDANTS pay the plaintiff the sum of
S533.33, or have the Green River
Coal Mining company to deliver to
the plaintiff $4,000 more stock in the

opinion, says that 1.-The situation dis

is the first time that Mr.. Franklin
ever asked for a pardon for anybody
he had sent to the penitentiary, so
Gov. Cox gave great weight to his
recommendation. The negro was
convicted twice of breaking into a
railroad car, the first time being
when he was only IA years old. He
served out his two terms and then
shot his sweetheart. He was con-
victed under the habitual-criminal
act, as a result of this shooting and
sent up for life. He has been in the
prison ten years for the last offense
and in all had served fourteen years.
He is 2S years old. Mr.. Franklin
prosecuted the negro and came to the
conclusion that fourteen years was
sufficient punishment.

NEW JERSEY PREACHER
TABOOS HOBBLE SKIRTS

Newark, N. j., Sept. 5.-A crusade
against the hobble skirt has been
started by the Rev. Peter Henry, pas
tor of the First Reform church of
Groveville, N. ]. Among other things
he has issued an edict that no woman
wearing such a dress shall be admit
ted to his church.
He declares that ANY woman who
would so debase herself and sex as
to wear such a sartorial travesty,
should be spanked"
Mr.. Henry characterizes the wo-
men wearing hobble skirts as walk
ing balloons" ''lunatics" and god

between the Executive and both
Houses of Congress. Never before
was the resultant legislation so va
ried and so important. 1t has come
to be called the Taft way and that
means an honest, a calm and DELHI
crate way, a judicial way, and withal
an effective way.
"NRjther ambition nor fear of crit
icism has tended to swerve Mr.. Taft
one jot from the path of duty.
"He has RESPONDED when possible
to the wishes of the Rople to visit
them. He has made sacrifices to re-
main at his post when needed. He
is justly accorded large share of
credit for the vast amount of legis-
lation written during the past session
of Congress. He is gaining more and
more of the esteem and confidence,
not only of his party, but of all par
ties in all sections of the country"
The only reference in the textbook
to Insurgency" is: Unusual inter-
est will be centered in the campaign
this year because Of the factional diff
ferences in both parties, but already
the early assured confidence of the
Democrats has given place to doubt,
while the Republicans are sincere in
their belief that their present major
Ity will be maintained"

 No, no. The one about what is the difference between little boy away off by himself yelling for his ma and a lawn mower?"
 "Why should he yell for his ma and a lawn mower?"
 He didn't. He yelled for his ma, and the conundrum is What is the difference between him and lawn mower?"
 That's the conundrum, is it?"
 "Yes. Did you ever hear it?"
 No. l never heard it. What if I didn't?"
 Its pretty good. isn't 1t? What is the difference between a little boy away off by himself yelling for his ma and a lawn mower?'

 Did he want her to bring it?" Bring what?"

THE WONDERBERRY OR SUNBERRY
Has Proved a Great Success-Thou. sands Say It's the Best Thing
 They Ever Grew.

The WOnderbeTry or Sunberry. the marvellous garden fruit originated by Luther Burbank, and introduced by John Lewis Childs, the well-known Scotsman of Floral Park, N. Y, has proved great success all over the country. Thousands of people say it is the best thing they ever grew.
 MT. John Burroughs, the well-known author, Naturalist and bosom-friend of Theodore Roosevelt, says it is the most delicious pie berry he ever tasted, and a marvellous cropper.
 A Director of the New York Agricul- tural Experiment Station says it fruits abundantly even in pure sand. In the short season of Northwestern Canada it is a godsend, and fruits long after frost has killed most garden truck.
 D. S. Hall, Wichita, Kan, says thirty people grew it there last season with perfect satisfaction.
 K. s. Enochs, Hammond, La, says 1t yields s250 worth of fruit per acre with him. Mrs. J. H. Powers, 4732 Kenwood avenue, Chicago, raised enough berries on a space 4x10 feet to supply herself and friends.
 J. P. Swallow, Kenton, Ohio, says its equal for all purposes does not exist.
 Rev. H. B. Sheldon, Pacific Grove, Cal, says he likes the berries served in any and every way
 w. T. Davis, Enon, Va, says it is true to description in every way, and fruits in three months from seed.
 Judge Morrow, of U. s. Circuit Court, says the Wonderberry is simply delicious raw or cooked.
 Mir. Childs exhibited one plant five months old bearing 10,375 berries which measured about eight quarts.
 Mrs. Hattie Vincent, Hayden, New Mexico, says it stands the long, hard droughts of that climate and fruits abundantly all summer.
 It is certainly the most satisfactory garden fruit and the greatest Novelty ever introduced.
