The Honest Editorial

rom lll-bllS.
 We understand that several real estate firms in this town have combined to get up a boom and make things jump, de- clares an American newspaper editor. In fact they offered us half-paGe advt. for this week, but we did not take it. AS an individual we might cheat man from Omaha at poker, but as an editor we can't be hired to help swindle our sub scribers. In order to offset the machi- nations of this syndicate we wish to say:
 We have got the fag-end of one rail- road line, and neither want nor will get anything more.
 Society is not cultivated. Such a thing as a toothbrush or a volume of poems found a man here would hang him.
 The land around the town is so poor that it takes nine feet of it over a dead mule to hold the carcass down.
 It is not a trade center. We have the Digger Indian on three sides of us, and a large family of coyotes on the fourth.
 The climate wobbles all over creation. making the demand for buffalo-skin over coats and linen clusters about equal and mighty steady.
 It is not sanatorium for invalids. If the climate didn't kill em our doctors would.
 This is about all, but enough to put our subscribers on their guard and to clear our conscience if our advice is not taken. Now gentlemen of the combination, go ahead with your boomleI.

DEFENSE OPENS IN
 TRIAL OF CHENEY
Examiners and Expert Ac- cOuntants Testify That
 His Books Were Correct

Montgomery, March 1S-(Special 1.-The trial of Capt J. c. Cheney, indicted for alleged embezzlement of state funds while he was chief clerk in the office of the commissioner of agriculture, was resumed before Judge A. II. Aston this morning at 9 o'clock. The state had rested the day previous and a good many witnesses were put on the stand for Cap tain Cheney. Among those examined were State Examiner German and ex- State Examiner Wilkinson, whose testi- mony was favorable to Captain Cheney. MT. German testified that Captain Cheney had accounted for all moneys that had come into his possession during the period that he examined the agricultural department, though at times he had the amounts under the wrong headings.
 Judge Wilkinson testified that Captain Cheney had paid over to the state all moneys that had come into his hands according to the examinations that he had made.
 Mrs. Cheney, wife of the defendant, took the stand and testified that J. H. Craig had told her that she need not be uneasy about the examination that he was making
 Selig GaSSenheimer, who is an expert accountant, says that he examined the books of Captain Cheney and that he was entitled to credit for the sS92 that had been charged to make the books bal ance by items that aggregated that much and to which Captain Cheney was en- titled to credit
 Robert Troy, expert accountant, swore that J. H. Craig told him if he found irregularities that he would give Cap tain Cheney a chance to explain them. He said that Craig remarked that Mer- ritt had told him to "get something that they could stand on.' MT. Troy testi- fled that he had gone over Captain Cheney's accounts as filed in the audi tors office and out Of over $6O00 that he had handled that the accounts bal anced except for the sum of $7SS0, which the state was due Captain Cheney. The trial probably will not be concluded be- fore Monday. There is large number of witnesses to be heard for the de- fendant, and verdict, it is thought, will not be reached before Monday night

crease in expenditures the democratic tariff would have accomplished that which it advocates claimed but for the European war and for the fact that it was deemed necessary to pre- pare the nation, through heavy appro- pr1at1ons in favor of the army and navy, for future emergencies and it became matter of honor to attempt through a punitive invasion of Mexico the capture of the bandit Villa
 The foregoing is matter of interest at the present time in that it is des- tined to be the gist of the debate which will determine that party which shall have charge of the government during the ensuing four years.

GROWING EXPENSES {. ADD ID PROBLEMS !. OF ADMINISTRATION Mexican Expense Will Add
 to Apparent Deficit at End of Year
SUGAR DUTY AN AID
 IN RAISING FUNDS
Underwood Tariff in Spite of Wars Handicaps Has Been Remarka- ply Successful in Its
 Accomplishments
ay HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, March 1S.-(Special.) While the administration has pro- ceeded post haste in preparing legis- lation which in enlarging the army and navy will subject the government to abnormal increases in expenditures and while punitive invasion of Mex ico, which will run up another ex- ceptionally heavy expense account, has been undertaken-in the way of fiscal legislation nothing has been accom- plished save the initiation of the pol icy opposed to free sugar.
 When the democrats assumed office they were under pledges to enact a tariff for revenue only and to refrain from g. policy of increasing the ex- penditures of government. Irrespective of the costly plans in favor of the army and navy, the expenses of government have already been increased by about S10O,000, ,000. When the extraordinary increases to be ordered in preparing g the government against any emergency of the future are tabulated and pre- sented together with the cost of in- vading Mexico, the increased expendi- lures will be almost beyond concep- tion. Of course, the democratic party in preparing for wars of the future and in defending the honor of the country In an effort to capture Pan cho Villa cannot be criticized, because any man prone adversely to criticize would be in position of criticizing him self-the nation demanding the action taken and about to be taken.
 CANNOT BE ESTIMATED
 The deficit at the conclusion of the fiscal year or the future fiscal year in which the appropriations for the increased army and navy are author 1zed and expended, cannot be esti- mated. The extension of the time when sugar will be on the free list will net the government a round sum. The proposal further to burden wealth through more drastic income tax will materially increase the bulk of the government treasure. But if the pend ing plan to eliminate the stamp tax is put into effect there will be noted an- other big loss in revenues
 However, there is no doubt but that the treasury at the conclusion of this fiscal year and every other fiscal year for sometime to come will show a deficit. Despite this fact the Under- wood tariff will net this fiscal year that is, the tariff in connection with the stamp taX-approximately $739, 000,000. a sum in excess of those sums produced In several preceding 11Scal years. For while as a result of the tariff and the European war. receipts at the custom house have fallen off beyond expectation, the activity of the revenue department, together with the accumulated assets from the income tax, have more than balanced the loss sustained in transferring the burden of government from the shoulders Of the poor to the shoulders of the rich

quite badly injured, Monday, at his

sowing grain from the back of a light
hack, the wagon was cramped up hill,
thus throwing him over the dash board,
dawn behind the horses and under the
the wagon. The horses naturally be-
came frightened and dragged him a
short distance but fortunately the
wagon missed him just grazing one side
or else he might have been more seri-
ously injured. AS it was three ribs
were broken two one one side and one
on the other. DIR. w. A. Foskett was
called. The Doctor says while the in
juries are causing him much pain they
are not necessarily serious. His many
