It was in 1860, in the fifty-second
year Of his age that Milton was visited
in prison by Charles H. the restored
Stuart king. "You see," said the
monarch to the prisoner, "what a
pass God has brought you to for your
treason. He has stricken you with
blindness and brought you to this
1oathsome dungeon" "But by your
majesty's argument replied Milton

did of your father, for while he mace
me blind, he cut off your fathers

ESTIMATE EXPENSES OF
u. S. FOR FISCAL YEAR
Houston Tells Bankers Convention
Cost of Government This Year Will
Be $4,000, 100000.

Washington, Oct. Enforcement
expenditures of $4OOO,O0O,OO0 during
the next fiscal year were forecast by
Secretary Houston Of the Treasury de-
partment in a speech before the Amer
lean Bankers association.
The secretary outlined the treas
ury's program for handling the war
debt, liquidation of which, he said,
must go on steadily in order that final
redemption be accomplished without
disturbance to national life.
He appealed for "the strictest econ
omy not only in our expenditures, fed
eral, state, county and municipal, but
also by thrift on the part Of our peo-
ple," adding that the program necess1-
tated the maintenance of taxation
"after this fiscal year on level OF not
less than $4,O00,0O0OOO annually"
Mr.. Houston predicted rapid reduc-
ton in the gross national debt through
the coming year, particularly the $2,-
350,0OO,000 shOrt-term certificates out
standing. The treasury program, he
added, would result in reducing this
below $2,OOO,OOO,OOO and perhaps to
$1,5OOOOO,OOO.
By the end of the fiscal year 1922,
Mr.. Houston declared, the treasury
should have redeemed it's entire float
ing debt" or the short+erm certificates,
when the Victory notes maturing the
next year would become practically the
floating debt" and probably be &C
cepted in payment of federal taxes.
Turning to the demands of agricul-
tural interests for government help,
Mr.. Houston said that scarcely hid

R. PENGELLY
Candidate for Sheriff on the Independent Ticket

candidate after having been defeated
by a small number of votes at the

my friends and acquaintance and
others I have come in contact with,
while discharging my duties as an
officer. The rumors circulated thru
the county that my father and have
held this office several times are I'M
true. The records show that he was
Sheriff but once, elected in 1888, 80
years ago, and I was Sheriff but once
elected in 1910. These statements
were used to weaken me as a candi-
date and they had their effect. 9th

Sheriff is required to furnish a

New York, Oct. 23.-Business pros
poets are unusually bright both in the
United States and abroad, Ebert II.
Gary, head Of the United States Steel
corporation, declared in an address be-
fore the American Iron and Steel in
Stitute here
although this is a time for cour-
age, composure and caution" Mr.. Gary
said, "the business skies are practical
ly without clouds. AS always, there
may be showers from time TO time,
but there is nothing in the atmosphere
to indicate the approach Of dangerous
storms.
eff there should be a serious reac-
ton and depression" he continued, 1T
will be the fault of those who are con-
nected with business operations, or
others who by reason Of official posi-
tons Improperly interfere, and not be-
cause Of any Fundamental deficiencies
in our resources and opportunities.
Prices Have Been Too High.
"Without referring to Individual
cases or lines Of general business, |
believe in many instances prices have
been outrageously high This obser-
walton applies more especially to mid
dlemen, SO called, and to smaller de-
partmentS of industry. 1t also in
CludeS employees in certain trades;
but it does not pertain under present
conditions to the masses Of Workmen.
"The present tendency is toward a
lower, more reasonable and fairer rela-
tive basis. The difficulty is found in
the fact that every individual is per-
fectly willing that all others shall
make reductions, the larger the bet
ter. Now q general public, including
buyers nor sellers to any large extent,
will in one way or another bring about
fair and reasonable adjustment Of
prices. The law of supply and de-
mand will be the principal factor.

Speedy recovery Of industry In
France and Belgium from the ravages

described in some detail his recent trip
over the battlefieldS Of the two cOun-
tries, where "the surface of the ground
was churned into great masses Of
rough and irregular shapes" express
ing surprise that any appreciate prog
reSs toward rehabilitation had been
made.
Rehabilitation was made possible,
Mr.. Gary said, by the spirit of the
French and Belgian people-"the good
natured, grim, persistent and splendid
effort to succeed, to restore and to re-
cover"
81 think France has one of the best
administrations she has ever had" Mr..
Gary continued. "The president Is
strong, resourceful, honest and has the
confidence of everyone. The cabinet
is made up Of good men. We shall
see great progress economically, tinan-
cially and commercially during the
next few years"
