ment to this effect. He was a famous
outlaw. One account of his life says
that he was far from the criminal des-

He rose steadily and had many bril-
liant successes, one particularly at
Plassney, when with 5000 he defeated
$4,000. He entered Parliament later.
He was obliged to return to India,
where he reorganized the army. Later
many of his acts were questioned,

mind and he committed suicide Ac-
cording to historical records he Is
named as "the creator of the British
Empire in India, the foundations Of
which he laid In IL short years"

seeing the substantial benefits of this
fundamental change. There Is no
longer any reason why capital should
not flow normally into the arteries of
business"
The refunding operations of the
Government, as pointed out by the
Secretary Of the Treasury. have re-
suited in a marked lowering of the
interest rates. Despite the fact that
the total of the public debt has in
creased, the carrying charges, because
Of the lower interest rates, are less
For example, the refunding Of $1,000
100000 Of Liberty bonds, the last
81 $50 ,000. 900 Of which were called
yesterday for redemption on October
Is, will result In the saving Of $780,
900 900 in annual interest.
The total public debt as Of March
81, this year, Mr.. Morgenthau gave
as $2s, SOC. .o0o, 900. the largest in the
history Of the country. When the
Roosevelt administration took COM
mand the debt was little less than
$2l ,00O, 100000. The annual interest
charges on the public debt today will
run about 100000, 900, a tremendous
sum in itself for the taxpayers to
meet. With a mounting public debt
it is clear that had the interest rates
not been cut smartly, the burden
would have been much heavier, as
Mr.. Morgenthau pointed out. He said
that the interest charges on the Gov
ernment were less now than they
were in 1925, when the public debt
was $4,000, OO0, 900 less than 1t is to-
day. The Secretary spoke with j,sti-
fable satisfaction Of the fact that
these great refunding operations Of
the Government have been conducted
quietly and without dislocation and
without any appeal by the Govern
ment to halt private operations until
the Government securities could be
absorbed.
The hope and expectation were ex-
pressed by Mr.. Morgenthau that the
total Of the public debt on June 80,
1896, would be considerably less"
than the ss4, ,oOo, 900 900 figured in the
budget estimates. While 1t Is quite
true that it will be a cause for salts
faction II the estimated total Il not
reached, 1t Is also true that the public
debt will be staggeringly large. 50
large that both Congress and the
administration will do well to save
expenditures where they can.
Boiled down, Mr.. Morgenthaus
statement of the situation shows that
the Government has made real steps
toward the lowering of interest
charges in its refunding operations.
1t shows, too, that revenues are in
creasing and that there is some pros
pect of spending less than the budget
estimates. These are hopeful signs.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRACEWELL.

Summer. with It's daisies. runs up
to every cottage door,"
That Is q beautiful sentence. When
you can write like that, you can write,
my friends.
Just q sentence, but when Alexan-
der Smith penned It long ago he
must have felt the thrill which comes
to every writer who Ii o poet.
Not every writer is . poet, by q
tugful.
The best writer's are, though, and
you will know them by il.
Somebody ought to stand up In q
pulpit and read old Smith at least once
every year. SO that We Of this hurry
ing, scurrying, slightly mad era would
be able to recognize real writing when
we see and hear IL.
Il -
All the ham-fat authors" who are
rushing pot-boilers into print might
withdraw some Of them, at least, tc
the eternal betterment Of mankind
then.
For facts are not enough.
A true writer has to have some
thing besides facts.
He has to have imagination: and
that is where the poet comes in.
The poet IL not necessarily mystic
although he may be.
He is just one who sees q thing a
little bit differently from most people
Not every one who sees differently
is poet, Of course It Is not the diff
ference. exactly. that makes the diff
ference.
1t Is the imagination.
Consider the line above, about
Summer. with its daisies running up
to every cottage door.
That's the sort OF thing that hits
the reader right between his mental
eyes, the sort Of thing you'll never
find in Just pot-boilers.
Any one can say that daisies grow
around the cottages, but only the real
writer can make 'em run right up.
That's the difference, and one has
to read only a few lines IN Dream
thorp" to find it, the poet in every
day prose.
Consider the following line from
another of Smiths essays:
MY books open Of themselves at
places where have been happy"
Every reader, even the most hum
bic, has had the same idea Of the
book which opens Of itself.
But no one before or since has
written It in just that happy way.
Most Of US would say, and correctly
enough, that our books wanted to
open at places we had read SOME
thing that made an especial appeal
to US!
The Scotch writer. who. by the way.
sity, knew better.
His books. he said. opened Of them
selves "at places where I have been
happy"
Why can't the rest of us think of
something Is good?
The name Of Alexander Smith, for
some of US. is greater name than
that of Adam Smith, whose Wealth
Of Nations" Is more famous than
"Dreamthorp."
Alexander Smith lived between 1880
and 1867, being at one time in his
early youth heralded as greater
poet than Tennyson. as difficult rs
that Is 10 conceive today.
Perhaps the two quotations given
at random above will help US under
stand.

had become intimately acquainted

Senator A. Harry Moore of New
Jersey, former Governor, addressing
the Cliosiphic and American Wig So
cieties at Princeton University last
Friday, declared that greater partici-
patton in business by government Is
inevitable for some time to come"
This participation, he said. must be
reasonable and effective" He in
sisted that business and government
must work together. A great difficulty,
however, lies IN the fact that once
government gets into double harness
with business, politics creep in, and
what is more, there Is q tendency for
government to become the dominating
force. That being the case, as Sen
stor Moore said, it is necessary for
this relationship to be worked out
correctly. The. Senator said. Il am
not ready to abandon the system Of
individual enterprise and the system
Of private profit and loss, by whatever
name you may call It, that has made
possible our great development In
America" It Is the fear that too
much government in business Will
retard individual enterprise that has
caused criticism.
