- The president, his cabinet and
congressional leaders on yesterday
conferred over the deficit in the United
States revenue. The cabinet discuss
ed the matter deeply with the presi-
dent Wednesday and there is intense
interest in the outcome of yester-
days conference. The estimates OF
expenditures for the coming fiscal year
far exceed the prospective revenues
and the administration leaders are
convinced it is imperative to forestall
the deficit which Is confronting them.
The present estimates Of expenditures
exceed the estimated revenues about
$50, ,O00.0 900. One plan Is to abandon
the $4,000, 900 rivers and harbors APP
preparation bill and adopt Burleson's
suggestion for reducing the rural de-
livery service cost s17.000,000, by put
ting on contracts. This would save
$4,000 900, and avert any possible
embarra ssment for the present. 1t is
claimed. Other plans are to cut the
army and navy appropriation bills and
lower the income tax exemption below

LOTS OF CLOTHING

Il very we'll understood that the
Yorkville people were as generous
and kind hearted as any people in the
world" said Supt. I. P. Boyd, Of the
county home, yesterday afternoon;
but 1 had no idea that they had as
much surplus clothing as has come out
as the result Of that appeal in behalf
of the hail sufferers Of Bethel"
When Mr.. Boyd came to Yorkville
Tuesday morning he found that the
main portion Of the task he had block
ed out for himself, that Of canvassing
the town, for contributions Of cloth
ing, had already been performed by
the Boy Scouts, and there was in
the sample room Of the Shandon ho-
tel sufficient old clothing to stock
second hand dry goods store. The
tremendous pile Of clothing amazed
him; but 1t did not knock him out.
He shucked his coat, and with the aid
Of a negro he had employed for the
purpose, went to work asserting 1t
out and packing 1t in boxes for ship
ment, and although he had the help
Of an additional hand for part Of the
time, and also the help of delivery
wagons from some Of the dry goods
stores in addition to his own wagon,
1t was not until yesterday afternoon
that he got 1t all to the c. & NV.
depot :,
There was over three thousand
pounds Of the contributions altogeth-
err" said Mr.. Boyd, land some Of the
clothing was absolutely new and
fresh. I could not see that 1t had
been used at all. In all, 1t seemed to
me there Is a plenty to provide for
everybody who needs clothing, and /
am only concerned now about the big
Job that the Bethel committee Is go
ing to have in getting 1t all distrib-
uted among the people.
II wish you would say" Mr.. Boyd
went on. that not only did the York.
VILE people contribute clothing and
the like until 1t seemed that there was
more than was necessary; but the
people Of the country contributed
handsomely also. Many people
brought their contributions in and
left them at different dry goods stores,
and I got offers over the telephone
from all parts Of the county, until 1t
was beyond my ability to handle them
all.
Some Of the people contributed
provisions, and although no call had
been made for provisions, everything
that was sent was packed up and sent
forward along with the rest, the
freight, amounting to something over
four dollars, having been contributed
freely by different citizens who were
advised of the need"

coNDITIoNssIN MEXICO

The following letter to the Associ-
ate Reformed Presbyterian by Dr..
Neill E. Pressly, father Of Rev. B. G.
Pressly of Hickory Grove, who has
been a missionary in Mexico for thir-
ty-five years, Is of local as well as Of
general interest
THE many readers Of the Presby-
terian would like some reliable news
from Mexico; but it Is not to be had;
no one can put any confidence In the
reports that are sent to the press in
the United States. The real facts are
not known, and everything Is so ex-
aggerated That conditions are la
mentable beyond what the world
knows, no one will deny; and there
is no immediate visible hope that
things are improving. The aspirants
to political power increase and the
solution to the problem Is made more
complex. The causes that brought
this terrible conflict on the nation
have not been remedied. and In the
parleys an conferences the knife has
not been applied for the removal Of
conditions that afflict laboring classes.
THE people as whole are Ignorant.
Seventy eight and two-tenths per cent
These are the official figures, and the
larger half Of the remaining u per
cent are sadly deficient in education.
yet they know that they have been
deprived: they have come to know
their rights and the needs Of educa-
ton. citizenship and ownership. The
day of serfdom has passed, the peon
has seen the light, the Cientiflco has
been unmasked and must step down
and out.
The term Cientifico was developed
from a sinister group OF speculator-
politicians, who at first guided the
DiaZ government; but in the course
Of the time cientlfico-spirit permeated
the states and included the governors.
Outside of the cabinet the term Glen
titico stood for scientific business.
These were the men, who ruled the
country and directed the whole pre-
datory operations upon the lands Of
agrarlan democracy, upon the public
resources and the national treasure.
The science lay in the method for cur
rent and prospective business; for

ought to build. we do not now know.
The fight in the North Sea has de-
monstrated that speed Is vital. The

the slower Bluecher, although faster

Yet the general board urges construc-

any Of the dangers.
