BROTHER SEEKING
THEO. HOLMBORN

Although man claiming to be
Theodore Holmborn, who lost a grip
containing number of valuable pa
pers, called on Joe Bruno several days
ago and stated that he would return
IN few days and establish his claim
and take the grip and papers, he has
not since been heard of.
Joe Bruno, who found the grip, has
since received letter from Robert
Holmborn, in Chicago, who writes
that he is brother of the missing
man and that he would appreciate
any information concerning him.
According to the letter, Theodore
Holmborn has been missing from
Chicago for a year or more.

The. treasurer of the democratic ma
tional committee reports a deficit of
three hundred thousand dollars A large
sum, but, as the party won the fight,
collections should be good Success
makes cheerful givers. Besides, the
times are flush, and men never ON Easy
street before are on that thoroughfare
today.
While large, this deficit is not half as
large as that the democracy confronted
at the close of the campaign of 1904.
Then, as report had it, the national
committee was in debt three quarters of
a million dollars. But that was losing
fight. Judge Parker's prospects were at
no time bright, and toward the end they
were very dark. Hence the difficulty

away. He goes even farther. He favors
Mr.. Wilson for a third term. Which
Is going some for the former leader of
Tsmmany Hall so soon after the dis

But Mr.. Croker does not criticise Tam

Estimates and Appropriations.

The estimates for the fiscal year be-
ginning next July are large, but logical
ly and justifably so. Appropriations
may be larger. A large sum total is
likely.
Well, if the country needs the money
it ought to be supplied. There is no
economy in skimping great necessities.
Debates will show what the necessities
are; and Congress should debate the
supply bills fully. There never was a
time when such measures deserved more
careful examination.
The House majority is being prodded
on two scores: O The appropriations
of former years; and (2) the promises
of the democratic party four years ago.
On the first score plain answer suf-
fees. The past is past. This Congress
is appropriating in the light of the pres
ent. It has only to consider the size
an needs of the country, today. We
have made extraordinary strides since
the civil war closed, and are planning
and expecting to duplicate the progress
in the coming fifty years. The figures
of the past apply to the past. The gov
ernment could not live on any such al
lowances now. New and larger times,
new and larger figures.
On the second score, the party in
power need only summon a little philos-
ophy to its aid, and acknowledge the
corn. That platform of 1912 and the
wonders in the way Of spreading
molasses." The sweetness was linked,
thick and long drawn out, and it caught
the votes. We all know now that no
such waste in the support of the gov
eminent as was then alleged ever took
place. Hence it has not been possible
for the democratic party invested with
full authority to make the savings prom
ised.
Moreover, that spread of molasses was
practically pardoned at the polls last
month. The voters knew all about it.
They had been reminded repeatedly be-
fore going to the polls of the assur-
ances of economy. of reducing the cost
of living by revising the tariff, and all
the rest of it, and could see that not a
single promise had been redeemed Still,
they indorsed the President, and the
estimates now sent to Congress are in
dorsed by him.
At later day new provisions must be
made for raising the larger revenues
made necessary by our growth and the
adoption of new policies. The next Con.
gress will probably be called upon to
consider that matter; and the problem
may be found full of difficulty. But, for
the moment, the thing for the present
Congress to do is to vote after debate
the money required for the preserva.
tion and advancement Of the govern.
/ ment's interests.

the committee had encountered in rails
ing the wind. They were bucking a COM
mittee well provided. The republicans
had found generous responses to all their
appeals.
This is taken from Treasurer Marsh's
statement:
"Every town in Vermont with over
500 population sent a contribution, the
total from that state being approximate
ly $4,000. If the same ratio had been
maintained throughout the country
campaign fund Of more than $14,OOO, 900
could have been raised by subscription"
And yet the Green Mountain state re-
mained true to her old love. While her
next door neighbor New Hampshire
jumped the fence and, to the surprise
Of the country, voted for Wilson, and
the other New England states gave
Hughes but moderate majorities, she
gave him a substantial one. All the
greater credit, therefore, goes to the
democrats Of the state who despite sur
rounding adverse sentiment shelled out
SO literally.
But the Vermont democrats have been
complimented before and on one occa-
sion by the most distinguished repub-
lican in the state.
At the beginning of his first admins
tration Mr.. Cleveland was little trou-
bled about a selection for the English
mission. He wanted the best man avail
able, and objections had been urged to
several who had been suggested. Sens
tor Edmunds happened to be caHa
about that time, and Mr.. Cleveland men
toned his difficulty to him. Mr.. Ed
munds suggested E. ]. Phelps Of Yer
mont. Mr.. Cleveland jokingly asked II
that was good state for democrats,
whereupon Mr.. Edmunds replied:
"There are not many them, Mr.. Presi-
dent, but among them are some of the
best in the country"
Mr.. Phelps was appointed, and
achieved great success. He had wit, in
dustry, learning and real diplomacy, and
is remembered among the most accom-
plished men who have filed that i'm
portant post since the civil war.

day. Should we have seen him roll up
a hundred thousand majority for the
President last month"; Such a perform
ance would not have been in line with
the Croker of an earlier day. That
Croker was very human, and as poll
tician very practical. He kept books,
and rewarded his friends and punished
his enemies. That accounted for his
strong hold on his followers.
Will Mr., Croker take other than q
passing interest in next years mayor
atty campaigna He is still all Ameri-
can citizen: and at home in New York.
Tammany wants the Office, but in order
to get it must put up candidate able
to command support outside of organiza-
tion circles. He should, if possible, be
acceptable to the Wilsonites in town.
How would Mr.. Croker answer as a
negotiator of termss He is both Tam
manyite and Wilsonite. He will not
want the nomination himself, but sug-
gestion from him as to the right man
might be welcome at both the wigwam
and the White House. He is now a
man of means and leisure, and taking
hand in this way at the old game might
entertain him and help his party.

inspection Lamps for Shells.

A British electrical manufacturer
has designed an electric lamp for ia
cilitating the inspection of the inte-
rior walls c. shells in munition works.
The equipment may be described as a
tubular lamp protected by wire
guard, long metal rod, a wooden
handle in which is pushbutton
switch, and connecting cord and
plug. The equipment is held by the
handle while the lamp, supported on
the long brass tube, is lowered into
the shell to be inspected.
