CALAMITY HOWLING:— The campaign which opiwsition leaders are giving to a prospective deficit in the revenues has but one purpose. It is to raise up new alarm against a reviving business confidence and keep alive all possible political discontent until it can be made use of in the presidential campaign. In the face of the greatest, crisis which ever beset modern civilization we know of no important country save our own where the voice of faction has not ceased or where partisan eapital is made out of a common distress or a common danger. Against so discreditable a situation the ap peal to patriotism may not avail, but there is no appeal to the facts which must weigh with the common sense of the people. No revenue deficit exists which cannot be taken care of through small bond issues to cover Panama canal expenditures. No deficit exists which cannot have the best excuse for existing ever known of any deficit since the civil war. So far as it is caused by large expenditures republicans are more responsible than the party in power, which took over a government grounded upon the present value of cost. So far as it is caused by reduced customs revenues and this is practically the whole cause, tbe great war is alone responsible, and the republican breeders of discontent know it. Talk about the low tariff in this connection is misleading and intended to be so. Messrs. Simons of the senate and Hull of the house pointed out in The Sunday World that up to the outbreak of this conflagration customs revenues under the iow tariff were running ahead of the estimates. It was then a surplus which meant ruin to American industry. It is now a deficit from a war stoppage of “ruinous” importations and means more ruin. It was a false cry in the first case and is a self-contra-dieffcm in the second. The calamity talkers cannot have it both ways. If large importations were our ruin eight months ago, importations reduced next to nothing by the war shut out every calamity mouth now.

Which shall it be* Tbe Wilson administration lias been a savins and not a disturbing factor in this world upheaval. It lias staved off the incalculable evils of Mexican intervention. It has held the scales of neutrality even against influences working to involve the nation in the great European cataclysm. It brought about a reformed banking and currency system but for whose existence an appalling financial crisis precipitated by war would have engulfed the country. It has kept the. way clear for the operation of those recuperative so es against and under calamity abrcud which are tremendously at work paying off 3 huge foreign debt, abs r l '- ing large foreign borrowings, r ng the world's financial center from J. ndon to New York ' I working int a great range of r.rv < atside n>ai..Ciß deserted by the cil 3u. n beneficiaries. Are we going to help a >ug these forces or assist in blocking t. *ir operation for some partisan adv ctage? Calamity howling reaches :ts limit when it rages as now aroui a deficit produced by causes unfort able of temporary force, and bey nd our control. —New York World. Governor Willis of Ohio is not losing any time, boosting out democratic cans. Yet, just a year ago, the re r übcans. Y’et, just a year ago, the reupblican politicians were declaring in loud tones that one of the terrible sms of the democrats was the removal of experienced officials because of politics. Can you beat it? At a meeting of the state board of health yesterday Dr. J. S. Boyerr, of this city, was elected president for a term of two years. Dr. Boyers is one of those high-class men who succeed because of merit and this new honor is highly appreciated by the many Adams county friends of this splendid member of the state board. He will serve in the new- position with the same quality of efficiency as has marked his several years of service in this important department of the state’s work.
