E. Harris for several months of (lie real estate and insurance departments of the Central Trust Company, lias resigned his position. The re-agnation is to take effect on or before March 1, 1909.

Vnother Scandalous Deficit. The annual report of the Secretary of tin> Treasury goes into details coneoi ning the deficit whose existence has been for some time a mutter of anxious comment. As nearly as he can figure it at this time the excess ot expenditures over the receipts for the year ended June 30, 1908, amounts to $143,046,790. One hundred and forty-three million—think

of it!

The showing is as conclusive a demonstration of the present methods of managing the Nation’s business as anything that could he conceived. A private mercantile enterprise that piled up deficits could not last long. The only think that saves the country from the same fatal sort of bankruptcy that would afflict the private enterprise under similar circumstances is the Nation's resources, which include the taxing power. The private concern simply

wholesale condemnation. The great need is a budget. W’e make appropriations for various departments of the Government ser- ; vice and for extraordinary public works, but there is never an attempt to be guided in those appropriations, by estimated'receipts or by any other standard of limitation. A budget, ■ t proper ronsAteration of the possible revenues and of other business facts and principles, is indispensable, and yet we behold Congress dispensing with the Indispensable. It is making a mess of the finances of a nation whose finances should be the' most soundly administered on earth. Courier-Journal.
