TREASURY NET BALANCE.
Washington, July 5.—(Special cor
respondence)—Outstanding obligations
of the treasury department, together
with unavailable assets, were over $13,
5u0,000 greater than the so-called 'net
balance reported by Secretary Mc
Adoo on May 31, 1916, after checking
up the monthly financial statement
for May, appearing June 15th: —
Net balance reported
May 31, 1916. $133,557,321.07
May receipts subse
quently reported .. 2,841.923.23
Revised balance for
May, 1916 . $136,399,244.30
On that date there were outstanding
obligations and unavailable assets as
follows:
Balance to credit of dis
bursing officers (rep
resenting outstanding
valid claims against
the.government) _$ 64,352,633.40
National banknotes re
demption fund (pay
able from the general
cash) . 55,092,915.00
Limited tender or un
available assets (sub
sidiary silver coin,
minor coin, silver bul
lion . 25,804,202.81
Deposits in Philippine
treasury . 2,193,172.70
Treasury warrants out
standing, matured cou
pons and interest
checks, (reported in fi
nancial statement is
sued June 15th). 2,512,930.20
Total amount of deduc
tions .$149,955,854.11
Total deficiency . $ 13,556.609.81
The net balance in the treasury can
be applied to defraying the expense
of an emergency situation, such as
war. Should we enter into a war with
Mexico, it is apparant that there is no
net balance available for the pur
pose. This would necessitate the de
vising of additional mean of taxation.
AFTER THE WAR.
By the 4th of March next, the war
in Europe will doubtless be at or near
ing its end. The terms of peace which
the belligerents may secure will have
little or no importance to the United
I
States, but the manner in which the ‘
battling nations will seek to recoup
themselves for the losses of the war
will be of transcendent consequence
to this country.
It is evident that the exhausted peo
pies of Europe cannot rehabilitate |
themselves from within. There is no
national osteopathy wihch will en
able them to utilize their own internal
j powers for their economic recupera
tion. They will be compelled to loon,
abroad for the means of recovery,
they will have to seek new and more
extended fields of trade and commer
cial activity, they will have to turn to
other and distant markets where
money has not been burned in battle
and where natural demands will af
ford an outlet for the products of fac
tories and fields which will again be
filled with the men who have lined the
! trenches.
The tremendous activities now be
ing expended upon the battlefield will
then be transfered to industrial pur
suits and a flood of products, feverish
ly fabricated, will be poured out into
the world’s markets—the best of which
is to be found in the United States.
Not only at our own ports, but in
every port of the world, we shall be
confronted with a competition such as
no one has ever seen. To meet these
conditions will require constructive
statesmanship of the highest order
and legislation of the most far-seeing
character. Tariff revision, banking
legislation, shipping laws, and all kinds
of protective and prophetic adminis
tration will be needed.
For such a task the democratic
party is wholly ansuited. It's paro
chial and sectional outlook, its selfish
character, its untutored leadership
render it unable to cope with the prob
lems which will arise after the war.
To put “America first” in times such
as will be upon us when the war is
over It will be necessary to restore the
republican party to power.
WAR INCREASES INCOMES.
Our war order prosperity has crea
ted another source of jubliation for
the democratic administration as
foretold by the republicans some time
ago, huge exports of war munition^
to Europe have so increased the in
comes of stockholders that a larg
increase over the estimated revenues
from the income tax is looked for this
year. The administration is using
this to becloud the tariff issue, and
not a reference is made to the Under
wood tariff law as a failure in collect
ing revenues at the ports. The in
come tax wTill pay some $20,000,000
more than was estimated. But the
voters of the country will not be
j fooled by this state of affairs. The
tariff tax is paid by the foreigner.
The democrats have given up their
threadbare argument that the pro
tective tariff affects the eost of living.
The income tax and the "war tax"
are direct taxes paid out of the pock
ets of our own people, and the in
crease over the estimated sum,
caused by the war, is temporary in its
nature. Should the cessation of war
find us still laboring under a democra
jtic tariff law, competition from abroad
i would so diminish incomes that the

income tax collections would fail
far short of any estimate heretofore
made by the proponents of the tax.
In addition to this, the huge per cent
age of duty-free goods would still
further reduce the revenues. That is
exactly what was happening before
the war broke out. The man who per
mits the democratic party to use this
war-order prosperity to fool him, is
indeed blind to his own interests.
PREPAREDNESS.
Nine daya after the raid on Colum
bus the Ward line steamer Esperan/.a
arrived in Vera Cruez with 1,350,000
rounds of ammunition, all soft nosed
or dumdum bullets, for the Carranza
government.
On April 1, the Ward line steamer
Monterey landed at Vera Cruez 1,350,
000 rounds of ammunition.
On May 13, a month after the Car
rauc-ista garrison at Parral had at
tempted to ambush the advance guard
of the American expeditionary troops
under Major Tompkins, and had at
taced them, the Esperanza landed at
Vera Cruez 300,000 rounds of am
munition.
During these months ammunition
has been going over the border in
quantities, as well as other supplies
for Carranza troops.
Our soldiers are now about to meet
a large enemy force, armed and equip
ped by their own countrymen, with
the permission of the government
that is now sending them into the geld.
The Amercian soldiers who die in
battle will be shot by American bul
lets, propelled by American powder,
from guns held by soldiers fed by
American food, supported by a govern
ment established through the influence
of the American government.—Chicago
Tribune.
HUGHES THE POPULAR MAN.
Republicans have got their wish.
The demand for the nomination of
Charles E. Hughes was general and
insistent. If there is a crisis in the
affairs of the government, as so many
declare, he is the man to meet it, calm
ly, wisely, bravely. The demand
for him was an inspiration, a senti
ment that cannot be defined. It was
not the result of knowledge of his
fitness, nor of his views on the ques
tions uppermost in the public mind,
for the people were all at sea. He
never gave an intimation of them.
He had to be taken on trust. The re
sult shows the infallibility of general
popular sentiment. There we’re no
set arguments in his favor, nobody
was advocating his cause. In fact,
he had no cause. The position he had
suited him better than the presidency,
but a high and unselfish appreciation
of duty impelled him to wait his des
tiny and to accept it heroically and
philosophically. The moment the
die was cast he showed his hand and
his statement dispelled all misgiving
and removed all doubt as to the wis
dom of the choice of the people as
reflected by the convention. He is in
full accord with the platform and
with the opinions of the great leaders
of the party. He is for America, for
the American people and for the
honor and glory of the republic. There
jis no hesitancy, no dallying, no utter
ances with strings to them. He is
for adequate prelection to our
laborers and producers, for equal op
portunity, for all that the flag stands
for. He is the soul, the spirit, the
life of Americanism, a true exponent
and a fit leader of the American pe>>
pie.—York Republican.
THE SPIRIT OF THEN AND NOW.
When war with Spain was declare]
in 1898 thousands of young men left
their employment and went to the
front In defense of their country.
When the war was over these young
soldiers returned home and in ma
jority of cases found their jobs filled
by other people and themselves out of
employment and without prospects for
the future. Such was the reward of
valor in 1898.
Today thousands of the principal
business institutions of the country
are announcing that all members of
the National Guard who have re
sponded to the president’s call will
not only find their jobs waiting for
them on their return but will have
their full salaries paid to their fami
lies during their absence. Such is the
spirit of 1916.
A little reflection should convince
the most skeptical that not all of the
patriotism of this country flows in the
veins of the man with a gun. The
civilian has his duty to perform,
and he, too, performs it as the man
he is.
The one grasps his gun and go'#s out
to fight the battle of his country, while
the other supplies the sinews of war
with which to fight.
It is a combination of valor and fi
delity which in time should prove in
vincible. Let us hope that such it
may be.
SHOULD OWN A HOME.
Every mail should own his home. He
should have a spot that is his own. A
man who is a renter is not a home
owner. He is simply borrowing his
home. He is practically a permanently
located homeless creature at the
mercy of his master—the house-own
er. We know a man in Kearney who
has rented a temporary abiding place
for thirty years and has paid on an
average of $25 a month or $300 a year.
In those thirty years he has paid out
$9,000,000. During the first ten years
he paid enough in rent to have bulil a
handsome $3,000.00 residence, and dur
ing the other twenty years what it cost
him for a place to eat and sleep has
cost two other $3,000.00 residences
that would be a revenue producer of
at least $600,000 a year, enough to
keep the hungry wolf away from his
door during his old age. Old age is
now overtaking him and he is still pay
ing $25 a month for a roof to cover his
head, and when he gets to the limit
of labor endurance he will have neither
a home or the $25 to procure the roof.
It is not too late to begin now and se
cure a home. Everybody should strive
to own a home. It takes a little effort,
but It is worth the effort.—Kearney
Democrat.

points of your town it’s a moral cer

REMEDIES FOR “CHIGGERS.”
If a bath in hot water, or in water
containing salt or strong soap, is taken
within a few hours after exposure in
shrubbery and weeds infested with
“chiggers.” or “red bugs.” no ill ef
fects will be experienced. After a
long exposure, however, a bath has
practically no effect and direct reme
dies are necessary.
After irritation has set in and small
,red spots appear the application of a
moderately strong solution of am
monia to the affected parts is recem
mended. A supersaturated solution
of bicarbonate of soda or common
cooking soda or saleratus will afford
relief. Liberal applications should be
made until the irritation subsides. If
the suffering is severe, a dilute tinc
ture of iodine or collodion should be
lightly applied.
