BEST EPlGRAM OF
PRESENT SESSION
GARDNER SAYS "CONSCIENCES
ARE EASIER TO SATISFY THAN
CONSTITUENTS"

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Represen-
tative A. P. Gardner, of Massachu.
sets, made Congressional epigram
today that convulsed the House com.
mittee on rules. He was arguing for
a rule to bring his immigrant illitera-
cy bill up for vote in the House.
Some one asked him If the members
Of the House would not vote such a
rule down and satisfy their con-
sciences by maintaining that the SEES
sion is too short for the consideration
Of the bill.
Some of us unfortunate persons
and that our consciences- aren't half
so hard to satisfy as our constituen,
cies," returned Mr.. Gardner.
LET me congratulate you upon the
best epigram of the session." said
Representative Champ Clark, men,
Der of the committee.

UNCLE SAM'SMONEY
IS RUNNING SHORT
DEFICIT OF $4,000 SHOWN IN
ACCOUNT OF THE TREAS.
URY.

WASHINGTON, Feb. I'm spite Of
a strong rally during the last six days
of the month, the treasury closed with
a deficit on s267,OO in the ordinary
account and a total deficit OF nearly
$4.000,000 of which fully 100000
represents panama Canal payments
Practically the same showing was
made in January, a year ago.
Both the working balance and the
general fund go into the new month
reduced about 100000. But, a
warking balance Of s34,O00,0OO and
prospects of s35,0OO,OO0 bofre another
month, combined with a general fund
today of sS5,45O, 900, make treasury Of
ficials feel that the cash drawer is
well holding it's own against a very
trying drain.
A drop In receipts of $52,0O0,0 900 as
against s57,O00,000, in December is
the prime cause of this months de-
ficiency Disbursements were $751;
100000, half million less than in
December. 1t was evident that Gus
toms receipts ran little behind the
normal. In spite 0 fthese facts the
total receipts for January we're $4,000
600 greater than a year ago.

1e0s-The Figures Reported by
Months to Committee.

During the two years closed on De-
cember 10, 1910, according to report
which has just been submitted to
Hon. A. A. Lipscomb, chairman of the
auditing committee Of the legislature,
the Maury county trustees office sent
to the State Treasurer the sum of $40
621.OS. During the year 1909 the
amount was $34,961.S6. For 1910
there was gain of $697.2S, the total
amount for the year was $35,651.13.
Every month in the year with only
two exceptions, showed a substantial
gain. January lost $40, and March,
which Is the best month in the year
lost $500. The amounts submitted In
March were for collections In Febru-
airy and the first ten days in March.
On the first of March the penalty
goes on all county taxes, and the rush
during the preceding month to get
them paid up without any excess costs
accounts for the increased amount Of
money collected.

al games in London. the American
and British athletes look to be at a
standoff, The Britishers conceded a
point in allowing a two-mile run to
be held instead Of a three-mile race,
but insisted on the shotput being
eliminated. Johnny Fitzpatrick was n
sure winner with the iron sphere. 50
now it will be up to Herb jacques to
win the two-mie event.
strange thing it is to be able to
run Easter than another and still be
unable to defeat the same runner in
a special race. That appears To be
the case of Hedlund and Kiviat. The
Boston champion is universally ac-
kno#ledged to he speedier runner
than the Irish American \. c. crack,
still ltiTiat continues to defeat him.
SO regularly has the New Yorker

of the ambitious athletes of the district
for the annual renewal of the junior
metropolitan championship games at
the summer home of the New York
Athletic Club Saturday. An entry list
of more than 300 individual compete
tors brings the total for the various
events well above $50 and. given fair
weather several new records are ex-
pected. Promptly at 80 o'clock the
sprinters in the first heat OF the 100
yard dash will break from their marks.
and the picking of probable winners in
the different events is a puzzle. The

Pastime. Flatbush and Trinity Clubs
are represented by their strongest
teams. and before the final event be-
cores part of athletic history some
thrilling performances may be antiCi-
pated. The national championships at
Pittsburg are only one week distant,
and that, of course. will spur the
youngsters on To greater efforts to
qualify for the big feature of the year.
