REPUBLICAN and Democratic par

The future has now arrived and

UNCLE SAM VERY RICH
IN NATIONAL RESOURCES
Big Deficit Changed To Excess
Of S7S,737,SlO-Gain Is
Due To Prosperity.

Washington, July 1.-The Gov
eminent closed its fiscal year yester-
day with total receipts of $S3S, 403,-
500 and total disbursements of
s759,666,159, an excess of $7S,737,-
S1G compared with deficit of $780,
436,5S0 for the year ended June 80
last. Both the income tax and inter-
nal revenue receipts for 1916 show
ed up far above estimates made by
Secretary McAdoo and swelled the
balance. Income tax receipts amount
ed to 4,S67,43O compared with
$79,S2S.675 last year. an increase of
about $15,0O0,OO0 over the amount
expected by officials even as late as
a week ago. OF the total $56,9O9,-
941 came from corporations and
$67,954,4SS from individuals.
The balance in the general fund
at the close of the year was $780,
S79,59O, including amounts to the
credit of disbursing officers. The &C
tual balance was $174.965.231. the
largest balance in the general fund
since 1908.
Secretary McAdoo said larger in
ternal revenue receipts for the year
have been due in a great measure
ito the unprecedented prosperity of
the country and the vigorous en-
forcement of the internal revenue
laws"
Customs receipts for the year, Mr..
McAdoo said, amounted to SILL
S66,222,S4 as against $209.26S,-
1O7.43 the previous year and exceed
ed the estimate by more than &c.
100000.
Receipts from internal revenue
said his statement, reached a total
of $512,74O.769.5S, and exceeding
all previous estimates by many mil
lions. Ordinary internal revenue
receipts amounted to $3S7,S73.S39.-
80. and excluding the emergency
revenue from this amount, these re-
ceipts were approximately $780,
100000 or s32,0OO,0OO greater than
had been estimated"

INCONSISTENCY.

The Hartford Republican, in its
last issue, essays to criticise The
Herald because We put a heading
over an article taken from the New
York World (and so credited) en-
bodying the sense OF the article,
which was to the effect that Mr..
Hughes is a very nice man, person
ally, but that he is being used as a
tool of the interests that are back
ing him. 1t is up to the Republican
to prove that either the heading or
the article that follows is untrue.
The Republican seems to think
there is some Inconsistency about
the heading or the article. This,
with the Republican. is purely a
matter of political bias. However,
since the Republican has fired the
opening shot. we feel impelled to
remark that perhaps 'inconsisten-
cy" is about the last thing 1t should
call attention to, taking its own past
record into consideration. The oc-
cupants of glass houses should keep
their lawns well sodded.
Eight years ago the columns of
the Hartford Republican were full
of caustic criticism of Col. Roose-
welt. In its issue of July 10. 1908,
il said:
IF it is true that Roosevelt has
stolen the Democratic platform and
is carrying il out. in view of THE
SUDDEN CHECK IN PROSPERITY.
hadn't we better get back to OLD
FASHIONED REPUBLICAN PRIN-
CIPLES as soon as possible?"
-Four years ago the Hartford Re-
publican deserted the Republican
party and Joined the Roosevelt bolt
ing element. In its issue Of October
25, 1912. IL said:
Everything indicates a landslide
for the Progressives on November
9Th. The OLD PARTIES are losing
their grip upon the people and only

THE "MtAzEl WORDS" Of
TEDDY, THE PROGRESSIVE
Wherein lie Vows C0nstancy
To Principle and Finally

aug. 6, 1916, to Progressive con-
vention. 1.-The two old parties are
husks with no real soul within eth
er, divided on artificial lines, boss
ridden and privilege-controlled, each
a tumble of incongruous elements
and neither daring to speak out
wisely and fearlessly. The
recent Republican convention was
not dominated by honest men. 1t
was a convention wherein sat, alas!
a majority of men who, with sheer
ing Indifference to every principle of
right, so acted as to bring to a
shameful end a party which had
been founded over half a century
ago by men in whose souls burned
the fire of lofty endeavor.
Aug. Z, 1912, accepting Progress
sive nomination.)-I appreciate to
the full the burden OF responsibility
you have put on me. l appreciate
to the full that the trust you have
placed in ME can be met in only one
way, and that is that | shall so act
as TO deserve the trust. With every
particle of high purpose there is in

every bit of ability, every bit of good
sense | have at your disposal to car
ry out the principles to which you

Client, KY, July 2.-Mr. and Mrs
Thomas Griffith, of this city. met
death in the Ohio river at IL o'clock
this morning when their automobile
jumped from Kentucky and Indiana
ferryboat, Eva Everett. 1t appears
that Mr.. Griffith, who was driving
his machine for the first time with
out having a chauffeur with him.
placed his foot on the accelerator
instead of the brake. The machine
shot forward into the water, and be-
fore assistance could reach them the
couple drowned.
The water is twenty feet deep at
the ferryboat landing and as there
were no divers present, hooks and
ropes had to be relied upon in the
attempts at rescue. All efforts to
save their lives proved futile, how
ever, though the bodies We're recOv-
cred an hour later. The machine
will be brought to the surface as
soon as the necessary machinery can
be secured.
Mr.. and Mrs. Griffith were on their
way to Lawrenceburg, Ind. where a
family reunion was to be held at the
residence of their son. N. T. Griffith.

other son is Willis Griffith. of Will

case against Mrs. Alice S. Hamilton,

Floyd Keith. charged with breach Of
the peace, was dismissed. The cases
against Marion and Wiyne Patter-
son, charged with breach of the

court was then converted into a
court of inquiry, but it appears that
some of the witnesses were forgetful
and could not remember for certain
whether they had seen any of the
boys drinking or heard them swear

Prayer meeting was held at pri-

Thursday, Friday and Saturday
nights. AS there are two churches
in Olaton we are at a loss to know

Seeing there was no escape eX-
cept political humiliation and OBJ
livion, Teddy Roosevelt finally arose
from his grouchy corner and in a
bold though plainly hypocritical way,
Joined the Hughes forces. BY the
same act he turned his back upon
the party of his own creation, the
loyal men who followed him to the
last ditch, and allowed the organiza-
ton to melt away into nothingness,
that he might remain in the lime
light, lining himself up with a lot
of men whom, only four years ago,
he denounced as political buccaneers
and thieves. Such is politics-of
the Roosevelt variety.
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1916-07-05

In the coming Presidential cam
paign the personality of Mr.. Hughes
will not figure very much, as it is
quite generally known that he is a
quiet, easy-going man of fine legal
talents and well stored mind and of
clean political activities. Personal
ly there can be little or nothing said
against him. But it is the interests
behind him, that procured his NOM
ination and will control his actions
if he should be elected President
this constitutes the objection to him
as a candidate. The German press
is for him solidly-isn't he the can
didate of the Kaiser? But with
Woodrow Wilson it is different.
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1916-07-05

II should not be forgotten that
one of the first conflicts between
American and Mexican soldiers was
participated in by a troop of our
oolored men and that they acquitted
themselves as bravely and courag-
eously as any soldiers that ever
faced an enemy. Led by their white
captain, they charged right into the
jaws OF death at Carrizal, many of
them, including their captain, fall
ing to rise no more. The colored
soldiers deserve much credit for
their bravery and fearlessness. Let
us not forget that the negro. in a
very effective way, is taking up
arms in defense of his country.
