The campaign which opposition
leaders are giving to n prospective
deficit in the revenues has but one
purpose. 1t is to raise up new alarms
against reviving business confidence
and keep alive all possible political
discomfort until II can be made use OF
In the Presidential campaign.
In the face OF the greatest crisis
which ever beset modern civilization
We know OF no important country save
our own where the voice OF faction
has not ceased or where partisan capt.
tai Is made out OF q common distress
or common danger. Against SO dis
creditable a situation the appeal to
patriotism may not avail, but there is
an appeal to the facts which must
weigh with the common sense of the
people.
No revenue deficit exists which can
not be taken care of through small
bond issues to cover Panama Canal
expenditures. No deficit exists which
does not have the best excuse for ex-
listing ever known of any deficit since
the civil War. So far as IL is caused
by large expenditures Republicans are
more responsible than the party I'm
power, which took over a government
grounded upon the present volume of
cost. So far as it is caused by re-
duced custom revenues, and this is
practically the whole cause, the great
war Is alone responsible, and the Re-
publican breeders OF discomfort know
IL.
Talk about the low tariff in this
connection is misleading and intended
TO be so. Messrs. Simmons of the SEN
ate and Hull of the House pointed out
in the Sunday World that up to the
outbreak OF this conflagration customs
revenues under the low tariff were
running ahead OF the estimates. II
was then surplus which meant ruin
TO American industry. 1t is now a
defcit from a war stoppage OF ruin

have it both ways. II large importa-
items were our ruin eight months ago.
importations reduced next to nothing

MISS EDNA GOODRICH

An exchange says.
 Miss Edna Goodrich, the actress, re- turned to this country last week after two years abroad. She spent the past year in the war zone as Q volunteer relief worker and hospital nurse.
 After rest of three weeks in tue mountains of Colorado, Miss Goodrich win so to California to act before Che motion picture camera for one Of the large companies there.
 CT am awfully glad to get back, she said. 'lt certainly seems good to be in Q place where everyone is not talking and sleeping and eating war"
 When the war broke out Miss Good rich was in London studying. Finding she could be of some help in the war zone she went to France and Belgium on @ private relief exposition organ ized in London to help lessen the ter rlble sufforings of the civilian popu- lation. She was engaged in this work for many months.
 Later she volunteered as a hospital nurse In Belgium and worked night and day tending the wounded. It was hard at first. she says, but she stuck diligently to 1t and finally became in- ured to the sufierings and wretched. ness about her.
 or saw SO much misery and SO much desolation that can hardly bear to think of it now" she said. 'The war has brought death to hundreds oi thousands of noble men on both sides and grief to as many women"
 The actress has nothing but praise for the women of the warning coun tries. "Why" she said "they should talk of the apathy of the British, but can't guess. The very best and the finest women in England are giving up everything they have to help out dropping everything to so to the bat tle front"
 The Canadian troops seemed to i'm press Miss Goodrich more than any others of the fighting men. Besides being fighters who never seem to gei enough of the conflict, she says they are 'the strongest. handsomest, and bravest men" she had seen for many a day.

BRIDE is PICKED FOR
 THE PRINCE oF WALESl

LONDON-GoasiD has 30 often been busy with rumors of the engagement of the Prince of Wales, now to one, now to another princess, that it has seemed almost absurd to mention the subject while the future king of Eng land is at the front. Nevertheless, a lady who Is in constant association with members of the royal family says that Q bride has at least been found. The young Princess Margre- the of Denmark, who has been in Eng land for more than year as Che guest of her aunt. Queen Alexandra, and who served as an ordinary nurse In a military hospital north of Lon don until she broke down with over work. is to be the Princess of Wales.
 The affair is a love match pure and simple yet 1t has the approval of ev- cry member of the royal family from Queen Alexandra to Princess Mary who by the way is still faithful to her love of Princess Margrethe's old CT brother, Prince Erik of Denmark, who came over here to learn farming two years ago.
 Princess Margrethe is twenty years of age and was matriculated at the University of Copenhagen in 1915. Of medium height with fair hair and blue eyes. she is typical Danish girl.
 She is the daughter of Queen AL exandria's youngest brother Prince valdemark of Denmark, and the late Princess Marie of Orleans. The Princess is as thoroughly Democratic in manners as are all the members of the Danish royal family.
 The engagement is to be formally announced immediately after the war ends.
