Few persons, other than those di-
rectly interested. realize the vast
improvement that has taken place in
the financial condition of the state
during the last year and half.
The creditors of the state, how
ever, who Frequently had to assign
their accounts against the state at a
heavy discount, realize it. The heads
of the educational institutions, who
often were at their wits ends to de-
wise ways and means to keep their
doors open, realize it; and so do those
who have charge Of the states un-
fortunate and criminal classes.
Two years ago august 10, 1910
the current Indebtedness of the state
represented by uncalled warrants was
1895, ,726.2S. By January 10, 1915,
when this administration took charge
this amount had been increased to
1890, 10000. On August 10, 1916, this
had been reduced to S3,5l6.59. This
is a reduction of over 100000 or at
the rate of more than $1,000 a day
since this republican administration
went into power.
This splendid record has been made
possible by the harmony that has ex-
listed among the state officials in their
determination to prevent extravag-
ance and secure for the state full
value for every dollar expended, and
by the unusually large amount realiz-
cd from the inheritance tax. Already
for this biennial period over million
dollars has been received from this
source. This has enabled the state
treasurer to pay in full every appro-
priation made by the legislature; to
pay a large number of unpaid bills
incurred by the Jast democratic ad-
ministration pincIuding deficit of
over S33 3,OOe, in penitentiary main
tonance) and to accumulate surplus
of approximately 100000.
At the same time the demand Of
a growing and prosperous state have
been met generously and amply En-

NO DANGER OF WAR
The Wilson Administrations Course
Has Not Been Alarming

Our readers should not take too
seriously statements as TO trade re-
prisals, or any action save the famil-
lar "strong note" or vigorous pro-
test" by the administration of the
United States as against Great Brit
aims recent publication of a "black
list" Of American business men.
Neither should they become in the
least excited by verbal outbreaks Of
the administration in Congress rela-
tive TO this transaction. An admins
tration that has 80 frequently called
10000 or 10000 Of its own peaceful
and law-abiding citizens out Of Mex
leo rather than protect them in their
rights in that country, is not likely to
grow indignant, save in words, over
the British blacklisting Of so Ameri-
can business men, as published, or
even the 5000 names which are said
will follow in subsequent black lists
An administration which only 'pro-
tests" when Germans, British and
French mine the high seas and blow
up neutrals' vessels, without regard
to the flag they carry, will not worry
over a British black list Of American
business men.
An administration which only sends
strong note" when United States
mails TO neutral and peaceful coun-
tries and from peaceful and neutral
countries are taken off neutral YES
sells by British cruisers is not likely
to do more when its merchants are
blacklisted by the British govern
ment.
An administration that has for 16
months permitted the seizure Of
American vessels flying the United
States flag, under British "orders in
council" which it has denounced as
unjust, illegal and indefensible," six
months ago, is not apt TO become ex-
cited over this ostracism and black
listing Of American business men by
Great Britain.
An administration which for three
years has seen hundreds of its citi-
zens murdered by Mexican bandits,
a score of its soldiers recently slain
by Mexican troopers, thousands of
its nationals, men, women and child
ren, compelled to fly before Mexican
assailants, and at all times is ready, |
not to punish, but to placate the Of !
fcials of the murderous violators and
can be depended upon to
take no serious step to check the
of our merchants.
There may be STRONG notes" that
avail nothing; there may be vigorous
protests" that will be ignored; there
nay be loud denunciations for the
people to read, but these are not the
lays Of Washington or jefferson,
Jackson or Polk, Grant, Harrison or
leveland.-Ci Cincinnati Enquirer, lead

More Facts to Bear in Mind"

Under the heading, Facts to Bear
in Mind" the literary bureau Of the
democratic national committee hands
out this to the confiding editors of
the country: "In 1912, Mr.. Taft car
ried only the states of Vermont and
Utah, and each by mere pluralities,
not majorIties."
While bearing these facts in mind,
we hope the innocent democratic edi-
tors will not overlook the further facts
that MIR. Wilson did have majorities
and not mere pluralities in some
states-and that these states were
every one of them in the south, where
by grandfather laws" and other
devices, none but democrats are per-
mitted to vote and to have their
votes counted. These states, it may
be desirable to recall were Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Vir-
ginia. These states gave Mr.. Wilson
l26 electoral votes-and every one of
them was procured by force and fraud.
In 1912, Mr.. Wilson secured 3O9 other
electoral votes, but he got none of
them by a majority vote; and he was
actually in the minority as compared
only to the combined vote for Taft
and Roosevelt in every state where
both Of these candidates was voted
for.
And another "fact to bear in mind"
ia that a plurality is all that is re-
quircd to secure the electoral vote of
any state.
II democrats, whether editors OF
these facts, we sincerely hope they
will bear them in mind"

HEN ~
And There is to Be a Parade To-
day to Bring Men Out at
Some Other Plants.


PITTsBURG. April 22.-The great
plant OF the Westinghouse Electric
and Manufacturing Company in East
Pittsburg closed completely late to-
day when the few thousand workmen
who had forced their way by the strike
pickets this morning returned to their
homes. Even the shops where war
munitions were being manufactured
were closed. A drizzling rain drove
thousands of strikers off the streets
and the village police force OF a chief
and nine men had little to do while
deputy sheriffs stood at the factory
entrance but were not disturbed.
A march, organized by leaders of
the American Industrial Union, the
strikers organization, to bring out the
workers in the Westinghouse Air
Brake, Westinghouse Machine and the
Union Switch and Signal Company's

workmen in all the plants OF the Turtle
