NO DEFICIT THIS YEAR

Republicans have already lost their
chance to campaign on a panic. So
far is the United States from panic
condition that it has seldom in all its
history been more prosperous than
under this democratic administra-
ton. And If the democratic party
has done nothing to deserve such
prosperity, it will nevertheless claim
it with as much assurance as the re-
publican party claimed similar peri
DDS in the past. Now it appears that
the republicans aren't even going to
be permitted to enjoy the advantage
enue receipts have shown such a big
increase that the treasury at the end
of the present fiscal year will probab-
ly show as large a surplus as it
showed deficit year ago. The sole
of treasury deficit. Internal rev.
republican consolation will consist in
the charge that the surplus will be
due to war taxes. That is to large
extent true the surplus wouldn't
exist If the war tax we're taken away.
And yet, with the present European
conditions, imports from the central
powers being absolutely prevented,
and from the rest of Europe largely
reduced, even the republicans, If they
were in power, would be hard put to it
to keep from war taxes. Customs
receipts would not be up to the aver
age, even If the democrats hadn't re-
duced the tariff. Imports are away
below normal, though imports this
year have shown a healthy increase
over a year ago, largely in the South
American trade and in our trade with
England. Even with these increased
imports, however, customs receipts
have fallen behind those of a year
ago. But this shrinkage in customs
receipts is more than made up in the
increased internal revenue receipts,
flowing from our increased prosperi-
ty. If 1t wasn't for the necessity of
preparedness expenditures we might
talk of reducing taxes next year

CLEVELAND WHEN A CLERK

Doctor Tibbitts used to sleep with
Grover Cleveland when the two boys
we're employed in John McVicar's
general store. Their lodgings were
over the shop, in house still stand
ing, near the bridge. You can tell
1t by green balcony in front of the
second story windows. The doctor
told me Grover received $3.50 year
and found" AS clerks, 1t was the
duty of these boys to open up the.
store, to sweep out, build the fires,-
deliver the purchases, run errands
for the neighbors and to close up
about 10 o'clock at night. Insom-
MIA was unknown to them.
"In that upper room, without car
pet, without wall paper, bare Of pic
lures or books, drear and desolate,
we lived together for whole year,"
Doctor Tibbitts said. "McVicar was
rigorous. Grover rose at 5 in the
summer and half an hour later in
the winter. He'd go to green
pump in the square for watering
horses and make his morning toilet;
in the trough. Then back to the
shop to open up. McVicar would apr
pear at to the minute, but rarely
greeted us. He was a stale old Scot"
Grover owned large mongrel an
imal of which he was devotedly fond.
The animal slept in the cold, cheer
less room over the store, to keep the
boys company. He had been taught
to climb ladder set against the
balcony over the entrance Of the
shop; but one day, when we were
playing circus" with the dog as
chief acrobat, the animal fell and
broke his fore legs.
Shoot the dog!" everybody said
the theory being that, like HORSE.
a dog cannot be cured of broken,
bones. McVicar was especially .urg-.
ent that the animal be killed-"put.
out of misery"-but Grover and L
carried the suffering beast to our
room, made a sling with carpet and
ropes, put splints upon the legs and
fed the dog there until the bones
healed. The big, shaggy animal en-
tirely recovered, but he could not
again be coaxed near a ladder

The Southwest.

There is increasing belief in San
Antonio that General Pershing may
have been deceived in regard to the
direction taken by Villa, and even con-
corning his injuries. Some informa-
ton has been received indicating that
he was not injured at all, and that in
stead of going northeast of Guerrero,
he had moved into the hills to the
south and east, a direction American
army officers had expected him to
take.

Army men at Columbus. N. NJ, are
considerably disturbed by numerous
warnings from confidential sources
that adherents Of Francisco Villa were
gathering in the Chihuahua desert,
both north and south of Ascension
and near the motor trail leading from
Columbus to Casas Grandes for the
purpose of attempting to cut the line
of communication of the American
punitive expedition in Mexico.

News of the punishment inflicted
upon Villas men was received with
manifestations of delight at General
Funston's headquarters and an echo
of the manner in which it was re-
ceived at the War Department came

ulation to General Funston from Sec
rotary Baker.

CIVIL CONFLICT
THREATENS TO

LONDON, Oct. 18.-The throne OF
King Constantine of Greece is totter-
ing. Civil war threatens the Hellenic
kingdom. The Athens correspondent
of the Daily Chronicle reports that the
kings advisers have counselled him to
abdicate and flee. The seizure OF the
Greek navy and the landing OF strong
forces of French and Italian sailors
and marines in Piraeus and Athens
have brought about a situation more
dangerous than any other has existed
in Greece since the war began.
1t is believed that General Sarrail,
the commander-in-chie of the Anglo
French armies in the Balkans, will es-
tablish military posts in Athens and
the other chief cities of Greece at once.
