.GOVERNMENT (LOSES YEAR
WITH SURPLUS OF M77.7A7.S16
Treasury Fund Swelled Far Beyond
Needs of Government—More Than
Three Times Total Estimated in
February.
Secretary Mellon reported on July
1 a government surplus of $377,767,
'R16 for the fiscal year iust closed.
A record collection of customs, to
taling $670,430,002 as well as a heavy
income tax yield amounting to $!,
032.040.0RS swelled the Treasury fund
far beyond the needs of the govern
ment. states an A. P. dispatch from
Washington.
The $300,060,060 surplus recently
forecast by President Oooiidge for the
year which ended last night failed to
materialize, however, as a result of
last minute disbursement to meet a
Post Office Department deficit and j
tax refunds. At that it was more than
three times the total estimated hy ad
ministration officials in February.
Government Cost.
The tota) cost of government dur
ing the last twelve months, exclusivej
of debt retirement charges- was $3,
937,611,922. a reduction of about $33,
(.87.312 from the year previous.
The surplus was immediately ap
plied bv Secretary Mellon to retire-,
merit of the public debt, cutting it to
H9.643 216.315, and making the total
r< duct.on in the debt for the year
$872,977-372.
Income tax collections were $221,-:
"92 2(15 above those of a year ago,'
despite the reduction in rates pro-1
\ ided by the new revenue law which
seas effective in the last two quarters
i t the fiscal year.
Miscellaneous Taxes.
Miscellaneous taxes; many of which
\\ ere repealed by the law, produced i
$835,599,229 for the year compared;
with $328,638,067 the year previous,'
Customs receipts a year ago totaled
$5-17,561 226 or $31,868,000 less than!
the record collection. The previous high
point for tariff receipts was reached}
in 1923, when $560,000,000 was col
letted. j
Ceneral expenditures by the gov
mnnicnt iast year totaied $1,826,726.
923 compared with $1,837,00*1,475 due-,
ing the previous twelve months. Other!
expenditures ran about the same, ai

From afar they have come,
Singing their warbies

The Redbreast is caiiing
To his m^te on her nest.
From the ioftiest bough
Where he's perched for a rest.
AH day he has wandered
O'er the green phady wood
W'orking so faithfuiiy

When the bright evening sun
Goes down in the west,
Ho acts as a Sentinei
On a iimb by the nest.
For there's four iittie birdies

They watch them with care

And can then fiy away.

And fiy, fiy away,
To return to it never

"Forgin', and ye shall he forgiven"
is a divine command. ll^is sometime*
hard to do, but it must be done or
there is no hope of heaven. The Mas
ter says "If we forgive not men their
trespasses, our Father in heaven will
not forgivd us." If everybody would
do right this command might rest.
Suppose everybody should go to
Florida in the winter and to Ridge
crest in the summer and the remain
der to Raleigh? What would become
of the homes and the churches ?
Somebody should stay by the stuff.
Every one. however, is not supposed
to visit those resorts and assemblies.
Only the elite are expected. The oth
ers would ruin the etiquef of those
occasions. Our country is dedicated to
the proposition that all men are horn
equal, and this is true especially as
regards the kind of socks they wear.
A sUKKCHHOn at our unum
ing that the deacons organize them
selves into a monthly meeting and
ho!d their conferences at some cen
tra) place for the study of church
work was considered a very import
ant one, Hut to conserve time and fac
iiitate matters, wouid it not be better
for each church to send a dciegation
of its deacons to meet with the pas
tors in tmur,regular conferences? One
or two of the deacons might meet
with the pastors until they all come.
We board ourselves anyway. In this
way we can be of mutual service to:
one another. The deacons, many of
them, are good speech-makers.
The work of the Kingdom of our'
Lord demands our best time, talent)
and money. We need to understand
one another better. We need to love
one another more. If one is weak the
strong should help him by sympathy
and love. Every one should exhibit
the spirit of the Master towards ev-!
< ry other one. The spirit of roughness
is not the right spirit. Nobody wants to
bo shaved with a hand saw. We all
like for the barber to use a keen cut
ter, and he'd better do it when this
scribe is in his chair or he hunts an
other man.
The way to mend the torn garment
is not by making a bigger hole in it,)
but by closing up the one aiready in j
evidence. Wc can't unite bushes by ^
tying them together at the top. We.
must reckon with either the roots ^
or the seed. Vinegar floes not attract j
<lies. It taker honey or its equivalent.
We cannot pray for our enemies and !
at the same time abuse them. "If any
man have not the spun ot ^nrtsc ne
i:, none of His." Rom. H:9. The preach
ers anti deacons antong aii the other,
classes of peopie must iet the world j
know they have been and are with
Jesus,-Else wc disappoint Him and
the object we seek to win is iost.
When the Apostie Paul wrote the
church at Thessalonica he felt his love
for ail the members in it. and saRF
"Gracd be unto you, and peace from
Cod our Father, and the Lord Jesus j
Christ. We give thanks to God always.
for you aii, making mention of you in ^
our prayers; remembering without
ceasing your work of faith, and tabor
of iove. and patience of hope is our
Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God
and our Father; knowing, brethren,!
beloved, your election of God." 1.
Thess. 1:1-4. j
Knowing then, as he said in another
place "It is Cod who causeth us tot
triumph in Christ, and rnaketh mani
fest the Saviour of his knowiedge by
us," every one who undertakes to
saiute the brethren shouid do it as
nearly after the New Testament pat
tern as is possible.
What advantage has one over an
other anyway, if both are Christians ?
"For the same Lord over all is rich
unto all that call upon him." And if
neither is a Christian one is no better
than the other. "For there is no dif
ference: for all have- sinned, and come
short of the glory of God."
If Jesus had said to preach a gos
pe] that suited the people this writer
would have no contention. But He said,
"preach the gospel". It is to be done
in a direct and very definite way.
There are some modern ideas not in
} line with the gospet of Jesus. The
! writer does not and will not endorse
Hhem knowingly. Jesus Himself preach
) cd a hard gospel. One day a big bunch
! went away and came to hear Him no
more. He knew why they were going
and asked the twelve if they wouid
I go, too. One said, "Lord, to whom
shall we go'.' thou hast the words of
eternal life." That same gospel is yet
in force.

Shall the nation ballot on the pro
hibition question ?
Following the action on the New
York State legislature in providing
for a referendum at the November
eiection, this question gains momen
tum daily in a)i parts of the coun
try. White demand^ for it has not de
veloped openiy and direct!^ in many
piaces, it is in the minda of most can
didates and party leaders.
Radicai wets contend that New York
state wi!I vote decidedly wet and that
such result will prove the nation is'
ready to turn back prohibition legis
[ation to modification if nothing else.
But unbiased observers don't agree, }
They declare that New York is only
New York, and nothing more, in this
matter of prohibition. They point out
that the middle Western and West
ern states, exclusive of those compar
atively few which have great indus
trial centers, are still overwhelmingly j
in favor of the Eighteenth Amend-j
ment.
Nor is New York City, supposed to}
be the very heart of wet agitation, al
together wet. Only a few days ago the {
New York Citizens' Committee of
1000 for Law Enforcement adopted a
resolution characterizing the prohibi-j
tion referendum question, as framed
for submission to the voters, "as ob
scure, deceptive and confusing" and
declared the referendum to be unwor
hy of the "sincere and respectful eon
uderation and action of the law-abid
ng voters of New York state."
The resolution said further that the
eferendum question is "dearly an at
empt, instigated largely by those who
avor the evasion and nuliification of
)rovisions of our national constitution {
tnd law to weaken and break down}
he enforcement and observance of
hose provisions."
While thousands of individuals are
dring their opinions on the issue, and
troclaiming that the country today is
eady to kit! the Eighteenth Amend
nent, nothing hits happened official
y outside of the New York move, to
v&rrant either hope or fear that
here'll be a national referendum very
soon.
In fact, Congress has sidetracked
ail wet biiis for thip session. Meas
ures proposing modification of the
Volstead law, amendment of the pro
hibition provisions of the Constitu
tion and a referendum, were reported
adversely to the Senate by the Com
mittee on the Judiciary only a few
days ago. The bills thus go on the
calendar subject to motions to bring
them up for consideration. This will
hardly be done at this session.
Senator Walter E. Edge, author of
the referendum bill says he "is more
than gratified with the progress we
have made. The country knows the'
facts and in time will act according
ly."
"The result of a national referen
dum at this time would surely give an
indication to Congress of the present!
feeling of the nation.
Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Mon
tana is leading the fight agaist the
proposed referendum. Senator Walsh
says in reply to Senator Edge:
"Agitation for a referendum is pro
moted and stimulated by the wets.
Naturally the drys are content to let
well enough alone.
"Presumably the wets hope by such
a test to demonstrate that there has
been a marked reversal of public sen
timent since the Eighteenth Amend
ment was adopted.
"What is there in any action
taken by either House to indicate the
radical change which is said to have
taken place ? A vote in the House
shortly after the opening of the cur
rent session, reported by the press to
have been in the nature of a test,
showed 17 supporting the wet to I3H
for the dry side.
"The wets, who seek this referen
dum have nothing to lose and every
thing to gain. If it goes against them
they are no worse off than they are
now."

as editor pro tern of the Yakima

The ihesbyterian minister took the
position after a series of arguments
with the editor, Coi. W. W. Robertson,
about the Republic's editorial policy,
especially ip regard to the prohibition
law and Its enforcement.
"Lots of persons think they coutd
run newspapers and write editorials
without the least difficulty," said Mr.
Ferry. "I wish they could all try it
once. It would develop a fine spirit
of tolerance, though after the exper
ience they might not survive long
enough to exemplify it. if 1 have to
retire from the ministry I certainly
am not going to try to find any rest
in the editorial chair. It isn't there."
Ferry said that he had learned that
preaching every Sunday is nothing
like the strain of filling editorial col
umns day by day. "The demands of
newspaper space and time are so re
lentless that I could not stand up un
der them long."

feet, tired feet.
Good-bye corns, callouses, bunions
and raw spots. No more shoe tight
ness, no more limping with pain or
drawing up your face in agony.
"Tiz" is magical, acts right off.
"Tiz" draws out alt the poisonous
exudations which puff up the feet.
Use "Tiz" and forget your foot
misery. Ah! how comfortable your
feet feel. A few cents buy a box
of "Tiz" now at any drug or
department store. Don't suffer.
Have good feet, glad feet, feet that
never swell, never hurt, never get
tired. A year's foot comfort guar
anteed or money refunded.
