Canadian Finances-and Ours.

A report from Canada states: The
revenue of the country for the nine
months ending December 81 last
shows the satisfactory increase OF
over $22,O0O,00O, while the expendi-
ture marks the still more satisfactory
decrease of over s11,5 100000" The
total Improvement compared with last
year is $39O0O,OOO. The report says:
From the experience Of the closing
months OF 1915, there is every reason
to expect that this improvement will
continue, and that the end Of the fiscal
year on March 81 next will exhibit a
still more favorable result" Canada
is supplying its share OF men and
money to the European war. The Unit
ed States is proAting by the war even
though the Democrats laid a war tax
on us, and contemplate further tax
alton of war profits. Yet the Canadian
treasury is in fine shape. while the
United States treasury is in hook.
Canada has economical in its govern
mental expenditures. The United
States. under Democratic admin
istration, has been more extravagant
than ever in the history of the coun-
try, despite Democratic platform
pledges OF economy. Canada has a
protective tariff. The United States,
in control OF a minority party, has
not. These are the answers.

crowned with SUCCESS in every part
OF the state. Harrison county is In
cluded in the counties which have
Joined The movement. Permanent
roads have already been built in sew
eral sections of the county and more
are to DO built.
The bond-issue plan Is widespread
in the state and 1t has the approval Of
all who have made the road question
and taxation a study. 1t is the easiest,
safest and most effective way, they
contend.
At this particular time, 1t Is crafty
ing to note the fact that such move
ment Is rapidly crystallizing in simp-
son district Of this county. Progress
slye and leading residents OF that dis
trict see good roads in sight by adopt
ing such plan and they are pushing
the movement for all 1t Is worth. Tho
big mass meeting at Bridgeport TO-
morrow has for its purpose not only
tho creation OF enthusiasm but also
ascertainmcnt OF the will OF oil the
taxpayers OF the district. In other
words, It Is to be big family confer
ence on subject that vitality concerns
the welfare Of the people OF the dis
trict as a whole and It is proper and
right that they should thus assemble
and talk The matter over.
Tho Telegram believes the outcome
Of the meeting will be a decision to
submit bond issue to the voters OF
the district, and 1t is hoped that such
a splendid and wealthy section Of the

Tediousness OF Lying.

1t would be a great good fortune
for President Wilson if he could de-
sroy all printed copies Of his written
or spoken utterances. Out OF his own
mouth and from his own pen comes
his condemnation.
In his speech before the motion
picture board OF trade at New York,
January %, 1915 President Wilson
said:
at is very tedious to hear men lie,
particularly when you know they are
lying"
That was late in the evening. An
hour earlier he had opened his adj
dress to the Railroad Business Assoc
iation with these words:
"The exactions Of my official duties
have recently been SO great that 1t
has been very seldom indeed that |
could give myself so great q pleasure
as that which am enjoying tonight"
That excuse "exactions of official
duties" given to an audience that is
fully aware Of his prolonged daily
absences from the executive offices
while motoring, golfing. yachting and
pursuing other forms of social pleas
lre, was an astounding pretext from
a man who finds it tedious to hear
men lying, particularly when you
know they are lying" His denuncia-
ton of liars was no less remarkable
in view of his assurances to the men,
bers of the Civil Service Reform
League that as president he would up
hold the spirit Of the merit system
and his promises to the American peo'
ple that in governmental business he
would pursue a policy Of "pitiless pub
liicty,"
