one-sided CalcuIatlon.

The New York Sun takes a shot
at the fantastical optimism now pc
ing INDUCED in by Democrats regard
ing the working of the new tarin law.
Unless the administration taxes
thought for itself, 1t may, in the opin-
ion OF the Sun, be confronted with
the necessity of generous bond sale
before the expiration of the calendar
year and after that higher If not
newer taxes. Says the New York
newspaper:
Taking a beautifully one sided
view of affairs, the Treasury Depart
ment has issued aattering forecast
of Uncle SANS revenues from GUS
toms during the rest of the fiscal
year. 1T is calculated that receipts
will exceed the estimate made before
the passage of the revised tariff law,
because the last quarter of the year
has been entered upon with a falling
OF of only $24.750,000 from the cor
responding income last year AS the
tariff revisers reckoned on 81 5,OU0,-
600 loss OF revenue this year 1t is ar
gued that there is more than enough
room in the current quarter Tor
shrinkage without absorbing the eal-
ance of loss duly estimated,
Perhaps the computation Is correct,
although it is hard to tell under pres
ent trade conditions what the govern

eyregatc between now and the end OF
June. Still, allowing for the accura-
cy of the Treasury's expert mathema-
tIcians. it is to be noticed that their
calculations take account of nothing
but income. How about expenditure
For the first nine months OF the
wear, or up to the end of last month,
there was total income amounting
to $27, . So 07. AS this compared
with a balance of income over expeH-
diture amounting to Sill, 951,oS3 in
the corresponding period year ago,
Uncle Sam was $50, 2O1,690 worse on
on current account at the beginning
of the present month than he was on
April J 1913. The immediate ind1-
cations are, Judging from the tenden-
CO of revenues to decrease, that the
old gentleman will continue to go
deeper in the hole as the year ad-
yances. These indication5 are en-
phasized when allowance is made for
the prospective appropriations OF
Congress- pledged to economy but
manifesting the most convincing
signs of an extravagant disposition.

OpnoSition Ia FOREIGNERS.

The men in high positions round the
president arc all of the old school, al
most every one having been high ONO
ials under the Manchus; and Il IS
generally understood in China that y
was the Chinese and not the Maucnus
who most opposed the entry Of the
foreigner. The opposition to forcisn-
ers, however, exists not only in tho
uresident's palace Whenever the
presidential government negotiates
with foreigners, in making loans.
granting concessions, or any other
business in which there might be
"saueeze" or the surrender OF author
aity in any form, noisy opposition
rises. And in view of tho feebleness
OF the government and the danger o.
EMPLOYING the army, such eXcitements
have to be curbed and controlled
by diplomacy. The danger OF them
has been shown in recent years. the
Szechuan outbreak, which was the be-
ginning of the anti-Nanchu rebellion,
having been created on the cutlery
against the Hukwan railway contract.
In desperation the government Is
now endeayoring to obtain announcer
large loan from the Quintuple group
az bankers, composed of French, Ger
man, British, japanese and Russian
banks, supported by their respective
governments. 1t viii be remembered
that last years $4,000 900 pounds loan
was the cause of a considerable out
break among parliamentary members
AGAINST Yuan Ski-kai and was one OF
the prominent causes of the rebellion
Of last summer Feeling that Yuan's
government is too disorganized and
unstable to trust with another large
loan, the Quintuple legations are re-
uuiring the banks to stipulate what
amounts to foreign control of China's
finances for period of, it is stated,
fifty years, as condition of any FUR

earded the finest OF the fne. The
latest advice given by the Review -
that of getting busy and doing less
talking. The Review says:
A few years ago newspaper man
had to go after advertising with 2
pick ak and crow bar. Now IL comes
to him, because every business man
knows that he must advertise or ne
win be left behind in the race. The
question is not now TO persuade
man to advertise but 70 determine
how much he should advertise
What proportion OF his earnings
should he turn back to advertisingE
Ii is the same way in the good
roads question You do not have 70
argue with the people now to con-
vince them that they should have
good roads. They have already been
convinced. The pioneer work mas
been done. Men haves given their
lives to the agitation of the question.
Whgt is left to be done, now that
everyone believes we should nave
goods. what is the next step! we
must get busy, and start building Lne
good roads, what IS the next step? We
have.
There is much argument about
what constitutes the best road. Some
peopIe despair of ever arriving at
conclusion They want somebody
else to do something and by sort OF
a Drestidigitation set a good road
before their eyes. The thing that
we must remember IS that good
roads cannot be built in a day or
month or even a year. Permanent
roads will be long building. and may
come through experiment only. 1t Is
not necessary, however, for US IN
Randolph county to do much in the
way of experimenting, for that has
been done Good roads have been
bu'l. in many places all over the
country, and Randolph needs only to
get busy.

Fortune Hunter u Revelation.
Another OF the Lubin masterpieces
will make its appearance in Pendle-
ton today and, II such a thing Is pos.
sible, this latest one-"The Fortune
Hunter"--is a bit better than any OF
the previous offerings good as they
have been. "The Fortune Hunter" Is
in six wonderful parts and is produc-
ed by Barry O'Neil.
The film follows very closely the
winchell Smith play of the same IL
tie. only the picture goes farther back
than did the play and shows on the
screen many events that in the play
had to be put over purely by means
OF dialogue. William Elliott ap-
pears in the role OF Nat Duncan. and,
despite his unfamillarity with motion
picture work. does even better on the
screen than he did on the speaking
stage in the same role. In fact he
appears like veteran OF the studio
and is easily entitled to first honors
in the production.
Ethel Clayton, as Betty Graham,
and Rosetta Brlce, as Josie Lockwood
each make the most OF the roles as
signed them and by their acting add
much to the enjoyment of the dra-
ma Charles Brandt does some OF
the best character work of his entire
career in the part of Sam Graham
the father OF Betty. and George Soule
Spencer as Harry Kellogg. Mats col
lege chum, capably supports William
Elliott throughout the six reels nc
cessary to tell the story.
Many familiar with the stage vei =
sion OF THE Fortune Hunter" and
recalling the dependence of many OF
the scenes upon the dialogue, Will
