Troubles Of the Doctors.

In New York the state board Of medical
examiners is considering q matter which

physicians shall be permitted to advertise.
Il seems that in Buffalo there are special

created it was thought that the quscks

rhe Inspec.ion % Fertllizsrs.

The Inspection OF FertiiZsr s. "a
Do the farmers Of this state realize that
they Use $4,000 tons Of fertilizers al
nuallyI Commissioner Of Agriculture Mes
bitt SAYS they do. This immense amount Of
fertilizing material costs great deal Of
money. II is safe 70 say that very large
part Of the profit Of the cotton crop Is used
20 pay for fertilizers
And the farmers, or at least majority Of
them, do not appreciate the importance Of
saving fertilizers such as are 70 be found
upon their farms There are very few
farmers who could not save, with intellI-
gent care, . large quantity Of fertlizing
material every year. and this material
would be superior 70 manufactured fertil-
izsrA
Il is believed that a very considerable
part Of the fertilizers used ia this state is
not what it is represented to be. The
farmers pay for what they do not get.
Commissioner Nesbitt has plan Cor secur-
ing more thorough inspection Of fertiliz-
erS. The plan appears 70 be good one. It
is certainly well worth a trial.
Il is alleged that there are fertilizer
manufacturers who do not deal honestly
with the farmers They represent their
goods TO be what they are not. And it is
difficult 10 detect the fraud There ought.
therefore, 70 be more rigid method Of in
spectiDg fertilizers. and il is such a method
that Commissioner Nesbitt wants the legis-
lature to adopt.
Honest fertilizer dealers. doubtless. favor a
more searching investigation. Such inspec-
ton as Commissioner Nesbitt advises would
protect them against dishonest dealers. A
good fertilizer cannot be sold in competition
with bad one.
The fertilizer inspectors have more to do
now than they can do well, and 50 has the
state chemist. The farmers pay the in
spection fees and. therefore, they ought to
insist upon inspection that would leave
them no room to doubt that when they buy
a fertilizer they get the worth of their
money. Tho members Of the legislature
ought to think of Commissioner Nesbitt's
suggestions, and pass a law in harmony with
them-a law that would be beneficial 10
farmers and honest fertilizer dealers, and
that would force inferior and worthless
goods out of the market.

Rsduce the Railway Rates.

Continuing his discussion of the Austrian
zone-tarif Of railway fares in the last num-
Der Of the Quarterly Journal Of Eoonoma-
ics, Prof Il. J. James concludes that as
railway revenues are greater in that en-
pire since fares averaging less than cent
mile replaced a much higher rate,
there Is no reason why the same result would
not follow in America if the railroads should
be compelled to adopt the plan in case they
are not willing to try it voluntarily. Com
menting upon the subject in a general way,
he says that American, as well as European
railways, give slow service at a very high
rate Of fare-when they could and ought TO
give faster service at much lower rate.
Lacking the necessary incentive Of close
competition he thinks the public has no
other alternative than to legally
compel tho corporations to advance more
rapidly in the line of speed and lower
rates. BY this means the average Ameri-
can passenger train of 300 seats may reason
ably be expected to carry more nearly 400
passengers than the average of forty-two
computed to 1t by the estimate of the inter
state commerce commission.
That the high rates Of fare reduce the
average OF American train loads to forty
two passengers for 200 seats may be ques-
toned. There is force in the assertion of th Q
Railroad Gasette that public demand for
better and more frequent trains has done
much to reduce the average number of
passengers. Sweeping reductions in rail-
way fares in Hungary were speedily fol-
lowed by an enormous increase of passen-
ger traffic. in many cases amounting to over
$50 per cent. In view of these facts there
is no apparent reason why reduction of
rates in this state and on all trunk lines
should not operate to the ultimate
advantage of the road. Carrying a train
load Of 200 passengers given distance at
cent a mile would certainly be more profit
able than hauling forty-two passengers the
same distance at 2 centsa mile.
While the population of Hungary is far
more dense and less particular about accom-
modations than the people of America there
| is no question that great number of peo-
pie who cannot now afford to travel at all
would pay in frequent fares if they were
fixed at a lower rate, and many people who
| go very seldom would travel much more
| under favorable conditions. Such an ex-
| pertinent is at least worth fair trial.
Should it prove oven moderately success
fulit would rebound greatly to the ad-
! vantage Of the railways as well as the
| public.

She Got RID ofths Mar.

The fact that American girls go anywhere
and almost everywhere without escorts has
long been a matter of wonderment to me, IS
said a member of the French nobility the
other day, TO the New York Telegraph. 81 was
coming down in an elevated train yesterday,
and the reason was made evident to me. As
we neared City Hall station almost every pas
senger made a rush for the door and stood for
five minutes, each anxious to get ahead of the
other IN leaving the train.
zone OF the crowd was very pretty young
woman carrying long handled umbrella in one
hand and big bundle in the other. Just be-
hind her was a short, very fat man, who was
rudely crowding the pretty girl. As l had not
left my seat l saw the performance that fol
lowed.
"Once the girl looked over her shoulder and
the fat man stopped crowding for moment
but began again and trod on the skirt of the
pretty girl. Her eyes grew dark with anger
The long handled umbrella assumed a horizontal
position and shot backward, point first catch
ing the fat man just about at the bottom of his
vest. he gave gasp OF terror and caught his
breath just as the pretty girl looked over her
shoulder, smiled sweetly and said: %, pardon
me; but you are on my skirt
Then she smiled even more sweetly, and the
fat man dropped into a seat and CROPPED about
as though the air in the car was suffocating
him. The girl marched complacently out OF
the car, head up, the dainty feathers IN her hat
nodding defiance to all masculine HUMANITY -

Brace up the Ranks.

How very shaky the banks in the large
cities are becoming Of late. Immediately
following the immense crash in Kansas City
came the three disastrous wrecks in Chi
cago. Then followed financial embarrass-
ments and failures in various parts of the
country, involving amounts Of greater or
less magnitude, but usually running up into
amazingly large totals until few days
ago. when a bank in Brooklyn, claiming the
fabulous capital of $500 ,OOo, 900, and less
than a year old, actually collapsed and
completely fell to pieces so softly that
the tenants in the same building
where this opulent Institution was located
on an upper floor did not even de-
tect jolt when the catastrophe occurred.
Just to think that such a magnificeRtly
equipped institution should fall into rapid
decay for lack of the paltry sum of $500, 900
is positively astounding. But it's true if
the cashiers statements are correct.
Where bank fails confiding depositors
are always more or less victimized. Still it
is supposed to be the duty of the state gov
eminent to protect them. Where 1t is pos
sible for syndicate of adventurous and
gether in the form of legal organization
for the purpose OF handling other peoples
money those who are by these pretensions
of financial accountability induced to
entrust their savings to such an institution
should be given some reasonable assurance
that they are to get back their money.
Lest they may through oversight or inexpe-
riencs fail to make the investigation and re-
oeive the necessary tangible assurances Of
safety the state should require that they be
made secure against loss.
Relative to this point the banking laws of
several states are conspicuously defective.
Such flaw only encourages the reckless
and INSCRIPTIONS to enter into all sorts of
plausible wildcat confidence schemes to
impose upon and defraud tho unwary. 1t
also tempts those Of naturally honest pur-
poses, but restless ambition to acquire
wealth. to enter into hazardous enterprises
that entrap innocent investors because Of
the reputable character of the principals,
and result In disaster and serious loss to all
who are induced to sntrusr funds to its
keeping.
If the banking laws were sufficiently
rigid and carefully framed aud impartially
enforced these stupendous failures that we
now hear of so frequently would be made
impossible.

Naturally enough Editor Wstterson re-
