It la being in mo oisinci mat no naa been opposed to them, whiie his friends claim that, aside from a disagreement aa to an appropriation for the secret service, there never was any difference between them, and that Walter I. Smith always sup ported what are known as the Roosevelt policies. Now, you are from Iowa, and were In tho cabinet all the time Walter I. Smith has been in congress, and I wish you would tell me the whole truth about this subject. Hoping you will write me fully, I am, very respectfully yours, W. H. KEATING, Council Bluffs, la. Secretary's Heply. WASHINGTON, Feb. 23. Mr. W. R. Keating, Council Bluffs, la. Dear Sir: Vour letter or February loth, asking me the relations of Mr. Walter I. Smith to the Roosevelt administration and lta policies, is received. 1 have been Intimately acquainted with Mr. Smith ever since he became a member of congress. During the entire administra tion of .President Ruossvelt 1 discussed with lain from time to time the great reform measures of the pretildent. and found him always in favor of them, beginning with the uiu uiii una continuing while the admlnls l ration lasted. 1 never heard of the slight est difference between Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Smith, except with regard to the orga nization of the detective force of lha eov- ernment, which was a minor matter about which mere was a variance of views not worth mentioning, estimating the value to the nation of those who took either side of such a small matter merely a differ enes of opinion as to the best method of organization. Mr. Smlth'a services are now and have been, of the very highest order. He has risen during nis service in the house by intelligent and Industrious efforts, to recog nition by liis fellows in the membership ui i no iiousc as wormy 01 one ot tne high est positions to which any one can amiim Iowa and his district have everv reason tn be gratified at Mo success, as all his friends here are, and his warmest admirers are his colleagues on the floor and in the com mittees, where true valuta are always fixed by Impartial Judges, who rate members for wnat they are worth. Should he continue tn the house, there is no position or usefulness to which he may nbt -confidently aspire. I get my estimate of him from those who work with him the severest Judges on earth. I have been oleascd to watch the rrnwth of Walter I. Smith in public confidence a grow in that has come from Intense appli cation of natural and acquired qualities. Neither the east nor the south ever retire publlo servants of his stamp. 1 do not think the Ninth district of Iowa lacks ap preciation of its well equipped legislator. No new man ever gets recognition in con uress or the confidence of the house until he has been long under observation. He must establish a reputation for Industry la getting facts regarding the legislative mat ters entrusted to him, and for honesty in presenting them, when he begins to grow. To- these prime characteristics must be added the many qualities In at attract and ;l-ase. Mr. Smith is well equipped along til these lines. He has long had the ear f the house, the confidence of the adraln tentiona rntrmporaneous with his services and the respect of the country at large. Yours very truly, JAMES WILSON', Secretary.

Alexander's Art Store, 33S Broadwaj) Council Bluffs City Fathers Discover That Funds Run Low Councilmen Find Estimate for City Expense Was Below Last Year's Needs. Council Bluffs In fixing the appropriation.: for the main tenance of the several muncipal depart ments for the fiscal year now drawing to a close, the city council figured that it would take at least $7,000 a month to run the city government. Taking this as a basis, the council estimated the revenues of the city for the fiscal year at $87,000, and made the appropriations accordingly. It now develops that the councilmen did not make a correct guess aa to the expenses of the city gov ernment and that they will be not less than $92,000. The deficit, city officials say, is at tributable to various causes. The expense for the month of February was $8,57.77. whloh waa the smallest ex penditure of any month of the year. The report of City Auditor McAneney for the month of February, Issued yesterday, shows that the balance In the general fund out of which the running expenses of the city gov ernment are paid on March 1 was only $2,777.01. Should the olty'a expense for March, the dosing month of the fiscal year. not exceed that of February, there will of a necessity be a deficit of over $4,000 when the books are balanced on April 1. At the beginning of the fiscal year the council appropriated only $1,680 for emerg encies, and the city auditor's report shows that this fund has been overdrawn to the extent of $3,S69.99. The flooding of the streets by reason of the overflow of In dian creek last summer is held responsible for the overdraft in the fund. By the end of this month the deficit In this fund. It Is figured, will be Increased by at least $l,0O0; The appropriation for the city health de partment is overdrawn $751.1t nd the ex pense attendant on enforcing the new pure milk ordinance Is blamed for this overdraft. The appropriation for the city electrician's department was overdrawn $4.01 on March 1, and city officials are now wondering where money will be obtained to pay the expenses of this department for the month of March. The law specifically prohablU the drawing of warrants on any fund in excess of the amount appropriated at the com mencement of the fiscal year. The following shows the amounts appro priated for the maintenance of the several municipal departments for the fiscal year and the balances In such funds: Purnose. Appro'n. Unused.

Yesterday was the first day of registra tion for the city election and reports last night showed that It had been light In every precinct in the city. This, however, Is not unusual, es voters generally wait until the last day to get their names on the books. City Clerk Casady had a good deal of trouble In getting things started In some of the precincts. In one precinct the men who were expected to serve as registrars failed to show up, and about 9 o'clock Mr. Casady learned that the booth was not opened and consequently he had to hustle around and secure two men to serve. In another precinct the republican and demo cratic registrars became involved In a controversy and as a result neither of them would serve. As soon as he had matters straightened out In this point Mr. Casady was called to the other end of the city, wttere only one book had been sup plied the registrars Instead of, two. Thl. meant a trip to the city hall to get th. other book. By noon Mr. Casady had things pretty well settled and he expects the registration today will proceed with out any hitch.
