greater declines, may tend to render
more serious the present situation
of reconstruction and to lessen pro-
duction in many lines. While in
some instances these may be a sur
plus of goods on the shelves of re-
~tailers. generally speaking produc-

Left tn. Secretary Guessing.


The following story is told of the
late Joaquin Miller. the poet Of the
Serras." A certain club desired the
poet TO address an annual meeting,
for which an elaborate program had
been prepared. The secretary wrote
a letter to Miller, telling him of the
purpose OF the gathering and request
ing his cooperation. In due time
there came an answer from the poet.
1t was in his W hand and covered
four pages. In vain the secretary puz-
zled over the manuscript. He passed II
on to the president. the board Of d.
rectors and the members In turn, but
NIL failed TO decipher the scrnwl. The
question before the club was, Has
Miller accepted or has ne declinedr''
The secretary finally sent the follow.
ing note TO the poet: my Dear Mr..
Miller-Your letter received, but I
have been unable to determine wheth-
or you have accepted or declined our
invitation. II you will be present on
fine date mentioned. will you kindly
make a cross at the bottom Of this
letter! II II will be impossible for
you to appear, will you kindly draw =
circley" In due time the letter am
back, but the secretary could not de-
eide whether the poet had drawn q
cross or a circle!

FOILED PLAN FOR ALLIANCE
How Bismarck Frustrated Neootia-
tions Which Had Been Opened Be-
tween France and Austria.

An incident from Mr.. C. q. Robert
sons life Of Bismarck throws inter
esting light on the methodical way In
which Bismarck worked out his state
policies. II concerns the negotiations
opened between France and Austria
after 1886 for an alliance against
Prussia. Emperor Francis Joseph had
emerged from the Seven Weeks wal
DESTROYS of revenge and with substan-
tisl forces still intact. Napoleon met
Francis Joseph at Salzburg. and q few
weeks later the Austrian emperor trav-
eled to France with his military suite
and gave orders that the imperial
train should stop nowhere on German
soil, and. In particular, that II should
pass the South German courts at night
In order y avoid smbarrassing inter
views.
Nothing marred the monarch's peace
VI mind until, In the dead Of night. the
train approached the German frontier
near Baden Baden; there Il suddenly
came to q standstiil. The aidede
camp. On inQuiring for the reason. was
shown q lonely figure wrapped in a
dark military cloak standing In a
pouring rain. The stranger wanted To-
speak to the Emperor Francis Joseph.
Who was hey 1t was King William Of
Prussia
Thus. on q dark September night in
1857. did the emperor Of Austria and
the king of Prussia meet for the first
time since Koniggratz. The Interview
lasted several hours and took place In
the rear carriage of the imperial train.
What PASSED Is not known. but the
writer Is satisfied that William Of
Prussia asked Francis Joseph not to
betray the German cause, and warned
him of the forthcoming Franco-German
war. On reaching Paris Emperor Fran
els Joseph proved adamant TO the
most tempting offers of alliance. The
incident remained a secret; a Few local
papers referred to II as merely a slight
nishap to the imperial train Youths

FUNNY MEN HAVE
CHANGED TACTICS

For years there has been a popular
theory among c~artoonists, joke writ
ers, funny men on the stage, and
others, that crooks and confidence
workers. find their richest hauls in
ural districts. Possibly there was a
lime when that vas true; but not
low. And, frankly, We doubt If the
rural district citizen ever was as
easy" as some of the jokesters try
to have us believe.
To the contrary, it is noticeable
that in almost every instance now In
which is roped in by conf
dence men and fake promoters, il is
usually a resident of a city. Possibly
ninety per cent of the fake stock now
being loated is sold in the larger
cities and very little of it is grabbed
up by residents of rural districts or
in towns like Winnemucca. The rea-
son is, largely, that we are not as
quick to gamble on an uncertainty
as the city man who sees so much of
it going on all around him.
So far as gullibiltty is concerned,
humanity is much the same every
where we find 1t, and city folk are as
easily taken in" by get-rich-quick
schemes = usually more so than
those who are far from railroads.
You w hear of the gold-brick
game being worked any more, and
rarely Of a sailed mine; but you do
find thousands being taken in on fake
stock, OF the big city newspapers
would not be carrying page after page
Of ads exploiting it. We point to the
Ponzi case in Boston, If evidence is
needed of the easy manner In which
city residents may be buncoed. No,
the old theory that rural residents
are easy" does not hold good any
So the joke writer's and funny
are changing their material &C
cordingly.

A GLORIOUS RUIN
TO REPAIR

From day to day is becomes more
certain that with only revenue from
present tax laws in rorce, the United
during the coming fiscal year. The
recession in business activity and the
depression in values incident to the
def1ation process have either cut off
incomes of many taxpayers of last
year or have brought about actual
losses when Inventories are COM
pared, so that the revenue from in
come taxes will be relatively small
and the excess profits taxes practi-
cally negligible.
Such Is the financial situation as
the Democratic administration turns
1t rel to the Republicans next March.
The Democrats adopted an imitation
policy which made large profits in
cheap money for many people, and
the government collected a large por-
ton of the profits in taxes. The same
administration has adopted a defia-
ton policy which has been doing its
appointed work during the year 1920,
the veal for which income taxes will
be paid in 1921. On the eve of their
retirement from control of the affairs
of government, the Democrats have
shut Off the chief urce of revenue,
but will turn over to the Republicans
a huge, inflated governmental organi-
zation the expenses Of which cannot
be immediately reduced.
When the Republicans begin to look
to new sources Of income to replace
those which have been cut off. the
Democratic press will Immediately
begin to howl. Then let the people
Of the country remember who was
responsible for the waste which
caused much of the governmental ex-
pense. who brought about the infla-
ton and the present precipitate de-
fiation, and what the reasons are for
falling government revenues.
