Finances are in bad Shape.

Baltimore, April 2S-That the state
finances are in a precarious shape
and that all state departments are not
to receive any further funds for sew
eral months to come, no matter how
badly they are needed, is the rumor
that has leaked out. 1t is said that
some departments are now being run
on borrowed money.
This state of affairs is attributed to
the wide-open method in which ap-
preparations were handed out at the
last session of the legislature.
The word has gone around to every
department, it is said, that no more
money will be available until July l.
While some departments have funds
on hand, others, which have been
forced to use their appropriation to
keep going, are short and some are
even out of funds entirely. 1t is said
here that the state board of forest
ry is now being conducted with money
that has been borrowed.

s1,2OO,OOO,OOO IN CASH BOX.

Fifteen years ago the specie hold
ings of the banks amounted to $780,
100000. The present aggregate is ST.
200,000,000, and gold has a tenden-
cy to flow here from all quarters of
the world, thanks to the information
al financial ascendency which this
country has been gaining since the
outbreak of the war.
More than that, the increased bank
ing power which the country possess
es is not gagged wholly by calcula-
lions on the old basis. Far from it.
The new Federal reserve system.
bringing with it a reduction in legal
reserve requirements and the redis-
count facilities which it was intended
to provide for financing commercial
enterprise, increases enormously the
capacity Of the money market to ex-
tend the credit on which all modern
business is done. 1t enables money or
credit to do more work and better
work and to work faster.

WILSON'S "MINORITY VOTE.
Called "PrOyidentia1 Deliverance" Like
Election of Lincoln.

When Abraham Lincoln was chosen
President in 1860, at the outbreak of
the Civil War, he was in a minority
of nearly 100000 votes as compared
with the total vote cast for Douglas,
Breckenridge and Bell. He proved to
be the man for the occasion. He left
behind him when assassinated in 1865
an undivided country and a restored
Union. Woodrow Wilson is also a
minority President. The outbreak of
the war in Europe and the concur
rent revolution in nearby Mexico have
served to put to an extreme test the
competency of President Wilson to
steer the ship of state safely through
troubled waters upon Notwithstanding
exigent occasion. So far he has prov
ed to be the right man in the right
place. If he can keep on as he has
begun he will take a place beside
Lincoln in the reverent estimation of
his countrymen. The fact of his
minority vote in 1912 will be remem-
bered, like Lincoln's in 1860, as a
providential deliverance in a season
of great national peril

fore a crowded courthouse each day.
Mr.. Barnes Is suing the Colonel for libel
statements. and the latter Is resisting the
charge with his customary vigor and
virility. It Is the same old washing Of
dirty political linen, but this reaches
rather high in the realms Of political life
in that it touches the acts Of both par
Elephants in national affairs as far as the
presidency. Cross examinations and new
evidence bring out many scenes and f.
ures Of fifteen aud even twenty years
ago, whe the Colonel was governor Of
New York, head Of the Police Depart
ment Of New York City. Vice President
of the United States, and later through
the death Of President Mckinley, the
Chief Executive Of the nation. Mr..
Roosevelt accuses Mr.. Barnes Of being
the crOokedest boss in the universe, and
a few days ago the latter came back with
a lot Of letters written By Mr. Roosevelt
to Thomas c. Plat, the famous boss of
New York several years ago, and others
of like TX, in which the Colonel is shown
to be conservative to the boss. and to
have favored the trusts and corporations,
and according to Mr.. Barnes, to be en-
tirely unworthy of writing the matter he
did about him The suit is for $780,
900. and before it is over much vituper-
alton will have been INDUCED in. 1t is
quite difficult to see at this juncture and
distance, just what possible good will
come to the general community by re-
hash Of the matters pertaining to this
suit. but one thing we feel quite certain
it will not add to the Colonel dignity,
and will hardly make for him any more
"devoted followers At one time he
was the most promising and most inter

on the general trend of events and how

Confronted With an Old War
rant.

Harry Mullen. when arraigned be-
fore Justice Posey to answer a charge
OF robbing the "smoke-shop," con-
Quoted by Stewart Geisbert, on North
Market street, had a surprise sprung
on him yesterday morning The au-
thorities had fished up warrant for
his arrest on the charge of robbing
the same place three years ago and a
strange coincidence is that he is al
legged to have gotten $13 in each rob-
berry.
Early last Saturday morning the
"smoke-shop'' was entered, and later
Mullen was arrested by Deputy Sher-
if Smith. The officials then discov-
cred that there was warrant in eX-
istence for him, charging him with
robbing the same place three years
ago, at which time John Ridenour
was the proprietor.
He went to Jail in default of bail
for the action of the grand jury. Null
ler came back to Frederick recently
from Illinois, where he is said to
have a wife and child.

TRUTH ABOUT THE NAVY
Secretary Daniels Shows 1t Is Strong.
er Than Ever Before.


As an answer TO the statements of
Representative Gardner, of Massachu-
sets, the detailed review of the state
OF the United States Navy by Secre-
tary Daniels is conclusive.
In ships and men the navy is
stronger than ever before. In sup
plies OF ammunition. torpedoes and
mines 1t has made a great increase in
the last two years. Under construc-
ton and authorized are q new YES
sells, including nine dreadnaughts.
In the service there are now 1924
more men than on March l, 1914; the
navy is recruited to the maximum
strength allowed by law. Even the
most irresponsible mischief-maker
would not expect the Navy Depart
ment 10 reveal the quantity of NUM-
lions OF war on hand. 1t is sufi-
Gent that Secretary Daniels should
make known that within two years
the stores have virtually been dou-
bled. For the first time attention has
been paid TO the Importance of air
craft and an adequate fleet of sub
marines.
The United States is not country
addicted to militarism on a grand
scale. 1t is committed to a policy
of naval defense within reasonable
limits Partisans who decry the navy
for political effect are as far from
measuring correctly public sentiment
in this country as the jingoes who
shrek continually for armies and
nayies big enough to lick all crea-
ton"
The United States Navy is large
enough, and it is as efficient as
American patriotism and skill are
capable of making it.
