would probably be deficit of SOB, 000,-
900, LESS the bulk of the income tax, J"
which comes due on June l. Mr..
Simmons, estimating the accruing in
come tax at $76, 900, 900, says that the
shortage will be about $26, OOO,0 600.
1t will probably exceed $4,000. 900.
On March 10 the excess or ordinary
revenues was $50. 1863, 600. Compared
with last year, the treasury has been
running behind at the rate of about
$1,000, 900 month The deficit at that
rate would be increased by June 80 to
about $110. 000,0 900. less the expected in
come tax Of $4,000, 0OO-making 1884,
900, 900.
Last year there was a final surplus Of
1913. 784, 600, so that in spite of two
months extra return from the income
tax and the imposition of emergency
revenue taxation to the amount of
$54, 100000 up to June Both next,
the Wilson administration will have
set the treasury back in one year
more than $67,O00,OO The out
look for the year 1876 is still
worse, since Congress has approprl
ated as much for next year as it did for
this year, absolutely ignoring the effect
of the war on customs receipts. The
emergency revenue tax expires by
limitation next December. 1t will
therefore yield about $40, 900 less in
1876 than it did in 1914-'15 and in
May, 1916, sugar goes on the free list
and sugar revenues will be decreased
by several millions. At the next ses-
sion, therefore, Congress must either
clap on new taxation or we shall face
deficit in 1875 of more than $50, 000,-
900.
Any government with a thought of
prudent management would have short
ened sail in a great economic crisis like
that which the European war has pre-
cipitated. 1t would have held down ex-
penditure till the situation had cleared.
But the Democratic majority in the
legislative branch. so subservient to
Mr., Wilson in most things, never even
received hint from him that retrepch-
ment ought TO be practised. He made
no protest when this Congress appropri-
ated $l13, 000,0 more than the pre-
ceding Congress did and SIT, 900, coo
more than did the Congress of 1909-'11,
which was controlled by the Repubi-
cans. More than that, as Mr.. Fitz-
gerald has pointed out, he submitted
estimates which. if honored, would
have increased the appropriations of
the last session by SAT, 3n. 600.
In one field of executive activity MIR.
Wilson has broken all records, He is
the most cheerful dispenser of the pro-
ceeds of taxation we have ever had in
the White House.

ended, appropriated more money
for public expenses than any Congress
before it in the history of the
nation. If there ever was a time
when prudence demanded outstanding
the National resources by practiclng the
most rigid economy, that time is now.
We might as well face the facts. We
are IN the midst of times calling for
steady hands at the helm at Washing
ton. Democratic policies have proved
disastrous and we may be drawn into
the great war at any moment and with
out being ready for it.
Two years ago prosperity abounded
and the people kicked. No one dreamed
at that time that the greatest war of
history would soon break out, and that
new and untried hands would be in
control of the destinies of the nation.
But they are, and strong men are deep
ly concerned.

THE GAME OF LIFE.

1t is required of each individual that
he play the game of life. There is no
other choice. 1t is expected of him,
too, that he play it well. 1t must be
played to finish by those who win.
There are no periods in which he may
stand aside and watch others struggle
for supremacy on the field. He must
''hit the line hard" and constantly if he
would carry off the honors.
Each one has an appointed place in
the lineup. No one else can take his
place. There are no substitutes. One
cannot rest in the shade while another
in ms place fights the way for him down
the field. The hard-rushing ability of
each player, his energy. his enthusiasm.
his head work, his constancy makes the
record for him as an individual.
When things go dead wrong in this
game of life; when the individual is
overwhelmed, outplayed. he is often
forced to lose heart and exclaim: "Oh,
what after all, is the use" He be-
lieves he has done his best, but does
not forge ahead as he expected, He
believes fate is against him; that
force of circumstances rather than lack
of ability is denying him victory, or the
prospect of victory.
But neither luck nor fate will decide
the issue in the game of life any more
than it decides the issue in the struggles
for supremacy on the American base
ball field or the American football field.
The best man wins-the man who has
the most grit and endurance and can do
the best head work; has the best train
ing.
The player in the game of life who
does not acquire his chance to make
good; the player who does not get the
tryout of which he dreams; the one
who fails at the bat on the field of
life; the one who 'goes back" is
the one makes a bluff of PLAYING
the game rather than a fight. He is
the one who is not willing to make
the sacrifices required to become well
trained, to get in form. He is the one
who makes run and thinks it enough
for the game; the one who is not will
ing to fight on and on until he com
pels attention and achieves success.

An Old Resilient of Oakland.

To the Editor of The Republican:
Upon the aged brow of Harmon w.
Hesen, today, March %, is laid a crown
of 50 most eventful years. He was
born in IsnaDruck, Hanover, Germany.
He was the son of Louis Won Hazen. a
Colonel in Napoleon's army, who had
his share with the other soldiers of the
awful misfortunes attending the down.
fall of that unfortunate monarch at
Moscow. Harmon w. was born on
March rs, 1920. came to America with
his parents in 1928. They landed at
Locust Point, Baltimore, and later re
moved to Homecoming.
When Louis Won Hazen died his sons
decided to drop their title. and Americn-
lied their name into Hesen. Harmon is
the only surviving member of Louis
Won Hazen's family of fifteen children.
He is perhaps nearly the oldest pioneer
today of Garrett and adjoining counties.
He first entered Oakland in l845, when
our lovely little city was a large farm.
owned by certain Mr.. Isaac McCarty
The first house in Oakland was built by
MIR. McCarty who was a very hospita-
BILE gentleman. He had for his guests
many pleasure and health seekers,
whom was a Rev. Father VIM. D.
Parsons, who, in the first house built in
the town, has the dis tinction of offer
ing up the first Holy Sacrifice of the
Mass, in what is now the county seat
of Garrett county.
Mr. Hesen is the father of a large
family, the grandfather and great
grandfather of a small army of descen-
dents. He enjoys life's rarest blessing
In the loving companionship of a de
voted, patient wife, who ministers to
his every want, as to that of tender
infant, as they together hand in hand
sweetly, peacefully, prayerfully go
down into the valley of the shadow.

The Department of Agriculture in
its report issued January Is, 1916,
estimates the increase in horses in the
United States during the past year, on
farms and ranges, as 1884, This re-
port does not take into account the
horses owned in cities. The gain dur
ing 1914, 233, 900, compares with a gain
Of only $1,000 in 1912. The present
estimated number of horses on farms

Der is daily reduced by the shipment
of thousands of these noble animals to
Europe for purposes of war.

The REPUBLICAN is pleased to note
the effort being made in several locali-
ties of Garrett county to increase the
attendance at the Sunday schools of the
county and to create a greater interest
in the Sunday school work. This is a
praise-worthy undertaking. There is
no question but that Garrett county is
what it is doday because its early
settlers were men who recognized the
religion of Christ, and followed out the
teachings of His word. On the youth
of today rests the future development
and happiness of this county. Keep
up the interest in the Sunday school
and brotherhood work.
