S. Cooke, had learned the se- cret Frank Comstock. Warriner's predecessor as local treasurer was de- clared to be the third man.
 In the story of the gigantic theft there is one question which has nevar been definitely answered and the st- torneys for the defense made another futile effort to obtain it's solution What became of the s643.000 which Warriner has confessed was stolen.
 The witness declared he had paid approximately $16s,000 for bIsckmaiI and that S32, ,000 was stolen by others than himself. The remainder of S442,- % is explained by him as having been lost in speculation.
 A lurid light was thrown on the strange narrative when the' latters of Cooke to Mrs. Ford were read to the court.

In another letter Cooke advised Mrs. Ford to have nothing to do with other men unless there is big money in it."
 During the reading of the letters Mrs. Ford endeavored to conceal her face, and wept bitterly. When how ever, her attorney. began to question I Warriner as to the extent of her in- tinacy with him. she raised her head, and, gazing at the witness, smiled

(, REMARKABLE DIFFERENCE OF
OPINION.

The war scare" which had Wasf-
ington by the ears last week, may
nave some interesting consequences
before 1t is finally disposed of. 1t was
said that the sensational report that
was sent to congress by the secretary
of war; setting forth the defenceless
condition of the country, was not
~noiiy approved by the president,
though there was no friction over il
in the inner circles of the administra-
ton. But after its character became
known to some of he watchdogs of
the treasury. who thought the whole
business part of the usual campaign
to rush congress off it's feet into
large expenditures for national de-
Tense, an appeal to the president 70
have the report kept back seems to
have been effective.
But, more than that, President Taft
has taken issue publicly with the mil
itary chiefs ON question of fact. 1t
has been stated that the seacoast de-
fences OF the country were not ate
quate to the needs of the nation, and
it is undoubtedly a fact tisat most of
them should be very fully remodeled
and newly equipped. 1t is certainly
true that the guns ON many of our
forts are worn out or are OF obsolete
pattern, and ii is quite as certain that
there have been few new guns placed
within recent years. Yet the presi-
dent declared in speech before the
Society for the Judicial Settlement of
International Disputes, that the Unit
ed States has excellent coast defences
for every important harbor that an
enemy would enter. The war depart
men has given quite a contrary I'M
preston, and the war department is
probably right. The conflict of opln-
ion between the president and tho
military chiefs on this point should
he harmonized or explained.
The president. however, is doubt
less right when he says that the
American people will never consent
TO the maintenance of a standing
army strong enough to cope with the
great military powers OF the world
The military chiefs may argue as
they will about the wisdom of such
policy. and demonstrate by higher
mathematics that ii is the surest
economy to spend great sums in pro.
paration Tor war that may never
come, rather than to pay heavily Ia.
i'ossessand IN emergency EFFORTS II. It
should come, but they viii NOT re aoic
70 persuade the American people ~
adopt such policy. AS the press-
