tent Wilson in his annual message
as means of remedying the treasury
hefcit. He also proposed an addi-

Speaker Clark has from the first
been open and determined in his op-
position to an additional stamp tax.
Other influential members OF Con-
gress have, Furthermore. opposed any
tax on gasolene and gasolene engines.
As a consequence, Mr.. Wilson has had
to devise some new method of taxa

A Great Achieycnent.

! To Secretary McAdoo belongs the
icredit for the greatest achievement
In the financial history of the govern
ment. He Is the only secretary of the
Treasury who has added $4,000, 900
ITO the met balance" Of the treasury
over night. on the night of Septem-
Der 80, 1915. those who keep track Of
the treasury balance went to bed con-
WINGED that It amounted to 100000
1000. On the morning Of October /.
they awoke to discover that 1t
amounted to s127.000,00O In other
words. $87,00o.000 had been added
ITO the treasury balance over night.
How? BY the wizard OF finance, Will
liam G. McAdoo. How had he done
Vt? By mere trick of jugglery. by
a turn Of the wrist, by manipula-
ton Of fgures SO nicely designed to
deceive the American public as to be
worthy Of Wall Streets ablest practi-
tioner Of high finance"
It Is not necessary to accept any
ones word for this. The daily treas
ury statements are public records
and may be obtained by anyone on ap-
Iplication. They tell the story-that
Us, half the story. The real story was
that Mr.. McAdoo, who had been prac-
ticing for his balancing feat for some
time, had merely added over $780,
100000 already placed to the credit
pr disbursing officers and $23, 200. 900
which had been set apart for national
bank note redemptions to the general
balance and, with an adroit disregard
of truth, had inserted the total in his
daily statement as met balance"
The facts are that the true general
balance on June 30, 1913, had
amounted as result Of Republican
thrift and good management Of
k141, 100000; that under Democratic
m1smanagement this had shrunk, by
September 80: 1915, to sS,01S, 900;
That Mr.. McAdoo felt this showing
would be damaging to his party, and
he decided that something must be
Hone to deceive the people as to the
real facts, and with that cunning be-
gotten of an early training in high
finance. he did not hesitate to include
IN the general net balance items
which did not belong there, and thus
to reduce, SO far as the public was
concerned, the Democratic deficit.
But the fact remains that .$8,01S,-
700 was the true figure and was all
me government would have to draw
apon in the event of an emergency.

IsHAlAELdTEs OF TODAY.

The sons Of IshmaeI are today the
Bedouins, who live east Of the Jor-
dan and south of the Dead Sea. Their
banishment from the society Of set
tied tribes has not seriously hurt
them They are the sturdy sons Of
the desert. who are 90 often pictured
on their spirited Arab steeds, armed
and masly in their carefree. but alert
grace
But the daughters, the Hagars am
ong the Bedouins, have a harder time
Of it The hard work Of the camps
falls to them, and they sometimes
fight side by side with their pictur-
esque but lazy and proud husbands
and masters.
The real Bedouns were tent dwell
ers and nomads and neither built
huts nor cultivated the ground But
the coming Of a degree of law and
order even in Turkey has caused
some Bedouins TO settle down to a
life under a roof and OF tilling the
fields or tending sheep or goats in
stead of Arab steeds or ungainly
camels.
The Hadari or settled tribes, are
partly nomadic and partly agricul-
tural.
When drouth occurs in the desert
famine drives the Bedouins to rob
and pillaee, but they are really kind
and polite, endowed with a certain
grace Of Kings. If one eats bread and
salt with them he is sare for the true
Medouin can be trusted by all, as his
law Of hospitality is inviolable.- The
