Where will the Funds Come 'FRONT.'
If the Democratic majorities should
heed the presidents recommendation
and provide for an increased military
establishment there will be no way
to pay the bills save by an issue
of bonds. The treasury is empty
now. 1t was possible somewhat to
juggle the figures to hide the actual
deficit at the end of the fiscal year,
shows, at least to the initiated, tho
actual conditions. The general bal
ance in the treasury amounts to only
SCI, O0OO,0O0 OF which SAC, ZOO, 900 fs on
deposit in national banks and prac-
tfcally all the balance consists of
subsidiary silver, coins and silver
bullion, none of which Is available
to pay bills. 1t is merely the change
which Uncle Sam must keep in his
cash box. The deficit for last year.
leaving out that on the Panama canal
exceeded $4,000, 00O The deficit for
this year, thus far, already amounts
to $17.00O.000 with the prospect OF
a deficit of $115, 600 600 for this full
fiscal year The funds in national
banks are being steadily withdrawn
This. 1t is stated. is in the interest
of the Federal Reserve Bank, but
probably is merely to I'LL the depleted
treasury cash pox many event ~
means a loss to the government OF
the two per cent interest which the
national banks have been paying on
these deposits, as the Federal Reserve
Bank will not pay interest even II
there are funds to deposit in it.
This condition OF the governments
finances means that the administra-
ton Will be compelled soon to bor-
row money for ordinary expenses,
that Is to sell bonds. And it also
means that there must be an increase
OF taxes. The additional taxes may
be called awar taxes" although the
United States Is not at war. but they
should be called deficit taxes" and
the people should realize that the
necessity for them arises from De-
mocrat1c mismanagement.

0nnoses special Session.

Al the last cabinet meeting before
the dispatch of Mr.. Wilson's last note
to Berlin, the president discussed
with unaccustomed frankness the
plight he would be in if Germany re-
fused to heed the representations OF
+l1e United states and this led Secre-
tary Garrison to advise the president
In such an event to call Congress IN
special session and lay the situation
before it. Mr. Garrison urged that
in republic like this no one man, or
small group of men, should undertake
to decide such important questions
without consulting the representatives
dorsed this view and added that 1t
would be far wiser, from political
point of view for the president to
shift some of the responsibility from
mis- own shoulders, as il Congress
acted he could not be blamed for any
mistake made.
At the time the president said
nothing in reply to this advice. but
1T Is now learned that he is deter
minedly opposed to a special session.
His opposition grows out of, not alons
his entire confidence in himself but,
his reluctance to have Republican
congressman asking the highly en-
decreasing questions they are certain
20 ask. For instance. when Congress
does meet there is bound to be much
severe criticism of the course OF the
adSninistration with regard to Mexico.
IS Then the Democrats will be asked
4f their sudden conversion to the
necessity Of military preparedness is
not due to desire to obscure from
the voters the woeful incompetence
of the Democrats in handling the
nations finances. They will be asked
IL the administration mas not delayed
interyention in Mexico until such
time as 1t Is believed Mr.. Wilson could
profit by Lincoln's warning nc4 to
swap horses in the middle OF a
stream
Il OF course. whenever Congress does
meet these question will be asked.
but Mr. Wilson would postpone the
evil day as long as possible.

from q thoroughly Iotten ADMINS
traitor Of its affairs In which pig
,t.sadedness, stupidity and d4shonesty
seem to have been equally ch0rlsaed.
The extraordinary course adopted to
rescue the town will enlist atten-
ton where political house cleaning
would scarcely attract notice.
1t is worth recording that Nash
willie retoiced In commission form

Ian for civic ills hailed as the SAL
vation OF cities, counties states and
saved Galveston after its food, adj
ministered the Affairs OF the Ten
|nessee town; and the town went to
smash. On paper the scheme was as
convincing as the plans that dozens
OF other settlements have adopted
some with notably good results, but
the voters seem to have forgotten
that no method of reform executes tt

BILE of excellent things to q crew of
rascals and incompetents. They got
what they should have ekpected; bad

The principal mischief of the pro-
paganda In behalf of commission gov
ernment has come from It's exagger-
ated promise OF better conditions re-
gardless OF the men to whom the
public business was entrusted. A
considerable body OF electors has
been convinced that under 1t eternal

city's receivership will not have been
without substantial benefit beyond

BETTER LIVE STOCK .

Through the efforts of the agri-
cultural and live stock department
of. the Nashville, Chattanooga and
st. Louis Railway there has been
placed with the farmers in the sew
cra counties along its lines within
the past three years more than
$500 head of pure-bred live stock.
This has been accomplished only
through the cooperation of promi-
nent breeders, the road furnishing
cheap rates to farmers who desire
to take advantage of these sales,
and also reduced freight rates for
the movement of cattle from place
of sale to the purchasers home.
At Winchester, June 10, there
will be a sale of this character
when 40 head Of registered Jersey
COWS will be offered under the au-
spices of the Franklin County
Creamery Association. At Hunts.
vile, Ala, about June Is, there
will also be sale of Hereford cat
tie and Berkshire hogs, with con-
signments from Berkshire breeders
from North Alabama and Tennes-
see points and from the American
Hereford Cattle Breeders Associ-
alton. This fall several sales have
been planned for the introduction
of Shorthorn and Aberdeen-Angus
breeds and consignments will be
offered from the American Short
horn Breeders Association and the
American Aberdeen Angus Associ-
alton.
These sales have created consid-
cradle interest among the farmers
who realize, the benefits that will
come to them through the intro
duction of pure-bred live stock and
improved farm conditions, along
which line the railroad has done,
and is doing, a great work.

concentrated action and hearty CO.

perance Union-R Recognizing the
TACT that the special departments
OF the W. G. L. u. are the spok es
In the great wheel of work, [ am
writing just few lines to ask that
each superintendent in both local
ana county work strive earnestly tc
make this year our banner year
and let's show at the State conven.
ton at Martin October | to 4 by
our report record second to none
You can do it.
You acquitted yourselves with
honor and credit at our county in
stltute; | was simply proud of each
and every one of you; our State
president, Mrs. Holman, was proud
OF you-she and Mis-. Robins, our
guest from Mckenzie, wrote con-
graduating me upon "the work of
the splendid women in my county"
The rush of spring house work
and cOmmencements are over, and
these long summer days each Of us
can find few spare moments to
think over the work of our w. c..
L. U. duties, study the department
work and get busy. Now, com
rades, lets do it.
The local superintendent or the
workers in local unions are the
foundation stones in any depart
ment; without them we can do lit
tie in any county, State or nation.
Some of our local superintendent
have been at work in special lines
of endeavor since their union was
organized and will have a good re-
port to make to the county super
intendent at the close of the W. G..
L. U. year. This report should 60
from local to county superintend-
ent early in September, so she can
make report to national and also to
county president at county conven-
ton. Keep a record of all work
in each department; SO many of the
departments fall short in report
oftentimes because the local or the
county superintendent failed to re-
port work accomplished.
For fear that local superintend-
ents have forgotten the names of
county superintendent, give be-
low roster of county officers and
superintendents, and next week |
will give the names of superintend-
ents in the local unions, as some
members who were superintend-
ents in local unions have moved
away and few have dropped out.
Probably new members have come
and are now filing the Offices and
carrying on these departments.
