which is indicative of a deficit of , made up? The amount of thft de;

This deficit was due to two j
principal causes: . v -."
First: The unparalleled - ex-
travagance of the standpat fac
tion of the Republican party
which is in control of the govern
ment. ; .
Second; Failure of the , Payne
Aldrich tariff law to produce
sufficient revenue to meet the
expenses of the government. ,
Excess of expenditures over
receipts is not new in "the his
tory of the party now in power.
For three or four years now the
government has been closing its
books each night facing a big
deficit in the day's business.' But
the average American does not
know this. While there woujd be
no justification for stating ; in
this dispatch that the big press
associations misstate the '"facts,
there is ample justification for
saying that the facts . are . so
stated that the average man does,
not understand them. -
For instance, the statement of
the treasury issued at the " trea
sury issued at the close of busi
ness Aug. 27 -shows that -the:
excess of expenditures - over re- i
ceipts for Jufy and the first. 27
days of August, 1910, amounted
to $14,431,727.34, or an average
deficit of $288,634.54 for each
bauking day, in ' that period, No j
one could possibly so understand
the situation, however, from the
reports came 1 by the big press
associations, vhich invariably
give the administration side of
the government finances.
If a business firm .should
spend more money than it took
; , r
natural to assume that the stock-
holders would demand a new
management. Yet- the men in
charge of the government have

HOW T. R. CXDULD BE ' USEFUL. v
"'Mr Roosevelt has" stated over
and over again that it . is his am
dition,' so far as it within his
power lies, to assist the people
to purify politics.
There is but one way the' people
can exert influence to purify
politics by voting for good men
and against the other kind.
If Mr. 'Roosevelt , wishes to
give information to the people
that will be of practical benefit
to themwho doeshe not tell them
frankly; whether in his .opinion
Aldrich and Cannonand ' the
men .who vote with " them are
f reinds or enemies of the Re
public? Surely he knows wheth

in Roosevelt. If lie states that
Aldrich and (Cannon, together
their followers, legislate for the
special interests instead of the
interests of the people, those
who follow him will go to the
polls, on November 8. and purify
politics considerably.
