ty assessors by appointment as depu-
ty assessor, assessing Aberdeen four
years, and have been complimented by
my chiefs each year for the accur-
acy of my work, a fact of which |
hold a pardonable pride.
My reason for suspecting partisan
motives in the paragraph referred to
in the World of the 25th, is based
upon the fact that the belittling item
was separated from the itemized
statement of the moneys paid me.
To my mind and that of my friends,
the purpose was to cast harmful
reflection upon me at this time as a
candidate for assessor on the Demo
cratic ticket.
The intent, to give an inference
that | was paid for something ] had
not done, or was overpaid is evident
notwithstanding the fact that later on
in the article, is tabulated state
ment, is enumerated the sums l re-
ceived, for which my affidavit that
service was rendered is on file in the
Office Of the county auditor.
The fact that l received the sum
of $562.50 is admitted. and, am con-
vinced that rendered service for
every cent of it, and that conviction
is strengthened by the fact that the
assessor and his Office force agrees
with it.
In conclusion, l wish to say that
if the purpose of the World articles
is the public welfare, they should be
written in a different tone. To lead
off-as in my case-with a broad
statement calculated to deceive the
unwary, and to show the amounts
paid, with absolutely no reference to
the service performed, is peanut poll.

The Country Financially Sound.

The first official reports made by
all the national banks of the country
to the Comptroller of the Currency
since the European war broke out
present highly encouraging evidence
that the financial condition of the
country is sound and healthy.
The liquid funds of the banks are
their call loans, the money in the
hands of borrowers subject to the de-
mand OF the bankers. When the Eu-
ropean war broke out, the stock en-
changes of the country closed down
Europe began demanding gold in pay
ment of the interest due on Amer.
lean securities and every condition
was favorable for tightening of the
money market. The reports show
that the loans called in by the banks
of the country have been paid with
a promptness that proves the rock
like character of American trade and
industry.
Some emergency currency was Is
sued to fill up the gaps caused by
the Withdrawals of funds by smaller
country banks, but the amount has
not been large. Europe has drawn
upon this country for large amount
of gold and the demand has beer
met without any difficulty. The mere
meeting of it with promptness has
met the splendid effect of strength
ening European faith in American Sc
curities and it is now certain thai
the gold this country recently sem
to Europe will soon be returning FOL

which Europe must have and can gel

Editor Herald:
The Aberdeen World is engaged in
a very commendable work, in Sc
ries of articles showing where the
money paid into the county treasury
goes. and is to be credited Herewith,
provided the interest of the public
is the matter in concern. If party
politics or other invidious motives
control, then the articles may prove
detrimental rather than beneficial to
public interest. In presenting its col,
umns of figures, the World firm in
the belief that figures will not lie,
fails to remember that liars will fig
ure.
That l drew from the county the
sum of $562.50 is, of course true, but
for what reason the World cores

hension. 1t is plain that the article
was not written in spirit of fair.
ness that would lead one to believe
that the interests of the public was

On the contrary, it is evident that
the paragraph referring to myself was
instigated as a party measure. In
other words, l am the Democratic

writer of the article, acting presum
ably under instructions, was impress.

blame upon me for something, true
or untrue.

in the Anti column with an A the
size of the big pyramid.
OF course Johnson knows that four
out of every five persons in this coun-
try are for Wilson and approve of
Wilson's administrative acts. He
knows that the Wilson way of look
ing at things is the typical American
angle of vision, and still he looks
with Pharasaical eye from safe dis
lance into the Wilson camp and in
the words of the ancient doubtef
queries,

And to show how Mr. Johnson ex

give a much greater income than if
there was no war.
Almost every industry will derive
more or less advantage. American
investors and bankers should get in
much profit from the ability to buy
back from Europe great quantities OF
ment for the foodstuffs and raw ma.
terial exported from the United
States.
THE United States can become. as
it has this week, the worlds great
est market for capital, and if the
American people rise to their oppor
tunity they can do great deal to
mitigate the disastrous economic con
sequences which would would other
wise result in many countries from
a great European war.
1T is obvious that for the time be
ing the money markets of Europe viii
be closed to the demands for new
capital of Canada, Brazil, Argentina
Mexico and other countries, and al
such a time the prestige of the Unit
ed States would be immensely en-
HANGED if it were to take the place
of Europe and meet the pressing
needs of these borrowing countries
1T is possible that the United
States may participate in the great
loans that will have to be raised in
Europe if almost the whole continent
becomes engaged in war. Possibly
the participation will be indirect
rather than direct.
For the United States to gain ben
eft from the position as the wealth
lest nation in the world, it is essen
tial that American investors should
not only have confidence in the flu
ture of their own country, but also
believe that, war or no war, the
world will continue to progress.
I'm brief, a great war in Europe
will give the United States an oppor
tunity of assuming the post of worlt
banker, by supplying capital freely te
countries and individuals in all parts
Of the globe who need it and car
provide the required security. Should
the American people take advantage
of the golden opportunity afforded
them by the outbreak of war, it will
mean not diminished but increased
prosperity for the United States"

fact that, without any solicitation or

No Time for Political charlatanism

II Republicans in Congress think
they are going to make political cap.
ital for themselves by introducing
resolutions designed to embarrass the
administration in it's conduct of the
foreign relations of this country they
are very much mistaken. Senator
Gallinger is the latest offender He
would have congress adopt resolu-
tions that in effect would question
the good faith of Japans assurances
to the United States with regard to
China and the Pacific.
The American people are in no
mood to permit politicians to trifle
with the delicate international rela.
lions of this country in this great
crisis. What Japan has declared her
intention of doing is wholly within
her rights. We may not agree with
Japan's contention that Germany's
China leasehold is a menace to the
peace of the Far East, but she has
done nothing and contemplates moth
ing, that jeopardizes any American
interest.
II there is one thing upon. which
the people Of the United States are
determined it is that this country
shall not be drawn into war or into
serious complications with any ma.
ton. They will make short shrift OF
politicians who do anything to en-
barrass the administration in carry
ing out a policy of neutrality and
peace.-New York Herald Qndepend

Progressive Praise Of the President

In his speech in Kansas City,
Kansas, last night, opening the State
campaign for the Progressives, Hen
ry ]. Allen declared for the new rule
in county and state affairs, defended
President Wilson's administration in
it's Mexican and other policies, and
declared that the new spirit in poll
tics called for the elimination of poll
tics from local and state Offices.
"The dhly argument that is made
for the amalgamation of the Pro.
gressive and Republican parties is
that united we can whip the Demo
Gratis That has been the aim of all
our political activities as far back as
can remember. That is the reason
we have made such slow progress in
the development of government. Has
it occurred to you that possibly the
Democrats do not deserve to be
whipped? If Woodrow Wilson car.
ries out his program and succeeds in
doing what everyone comedies that he
is trying to do, possibly the Ameri.
can people will demand his re-elec'
ton, and why shouldn't they? That
is the new idea, the new spirit in
politics.
IF he fails it will be because his
party is merely the Democratic party
and unable to catch the new spirit
Then his party should be defeated
just as the Republican party was de-
feated.
LET us get the vision of the Gov
eminent, rather than the party.
"The people must first get pos
session of the Government and then
administer it for the people who live
under it and who pay the costs of the
administration. We can neither re
duce taxes nor promote the public
welfare upon a platform of whipping
