conditions have changed andarechang-

conditions have changed andare chang
ing. 1t is a buyingstime.
Money which has been long idle is
seeking investment and its owners find
ing little demand for loans at a profit
able rate are anxious to buy something.
The buying fever is contagious. As it
spreads the prices advance in response
to the increased demand.
The indications are that the bull
movement in securities which started
in advance of the actual return of
prosperous conditions has only COM
menced. There seems little reason
to doubt that with an occasional
slight reaction, prices will so much
higher; for behind the forward move
ment is the steady rise in the price of
agricultural products on top of a large
marketable surplus and a certain de-
n1and for it abroad.
The real, substantial basis for con-
tinued rising prices in securities and
the return of that prosperity which has
so long been anxiously looked forward
to is thus summed up by the New York
World:
We are harvesting one of the great
est wheat crops ever known, and the
market price of wheat has advanced
twenty cents within a year.
Inc COtlOn crop Is large anu Is
ing satisfactorily. And cotton is worth
a full cent a pound more than it was a
year ago. This means an extra $40,
100000 in the pockets of the cotton
planters.
The corn crop is now safe and unusu-
ally large. The price of corn and of
pork is high. This means wealth to
sall our farmers.
When the farmers have money they
buy goods. So the country merchants
are jubilantly stocking up, and the rail-
roads are putting on more cars to carry
their goods and employing more men
to handle them. The manufacturers
come in for their share, too.
Thus the farmers are not merely the
advance agents of prosperity, but the
real show itself.
If prices of securities should stop
where they are the actual situation
would soon warrant their maintenance
at existing figures, but they will not.
Almost invariably they keep in ad-
vance of the point justified by the in
dustrial situation. 1t is for this rea-
son that speculative securities always
afford the first indications of an APP
preaching collapse i'm the financial
world.

TELLER GIVES HIS VIEWS.
Believes Postal Savings Banks Will
Not be Established.

Chicago, Aug. 11.-Senator H. M Tel
Ter OF Colorado arrived at the Auu iI
iurn yesterday on his way home from rom
New York. The postal savings pankS
with sprinkling of silver, ana tarlH
bills were the subjects the senator was
willing to talk about.
1T is my belief that the postal saw
ings bank question is what each Amer
lean should discuss, study ana talk
about, began the senator During
the past year have made a close stuoy
of this interesting question, and can
not see what chance the poor man mas
in securing this great benefit. what II
congress should pass a law tomorrow
which would establish government
postal bank? What would the heads OF
the private savings banks do? What
chance would the poor man nave VINO
has his all in these banks? 1t would
only result in their losing all. 1t is my
honest opinion, after careful study ana
searching for exact figures that the saw
ingS banks of this country could NOT
pay one-half of the deposits if con
greSs should pass a postal savings bank
law. The poor man would not leave
his money in the hands OF state, ma
tional or private bank when he could
put it in an institution run by the gov
eminent.
up in western New York state, where
l was born and have just been visiting,
L learned that the savings bank had
over $100,000,000 belonging to the poor
in keeping. If they were called upon to
pay it tomorrow the people would be
lar. While it may be true that the
banks have the money loaned out on
what they think good real estate or
mortgages, it would be utterly impos-
sible for them to pay off their accounts.
1t then all dwindles down to the old
question of what rights has the poor
man? Unless there is some way in
which the people can satisfy Wall
street, or, in other words, the rulers,
the postal savings banks will never be.
1.-THE newspapers have been printing
accounts of the farmers in different
parts of the country paying off their
mortgages so fast that the loan institu-
lions did not know what to do with all
the money. That is foolish talk. There
is just as much grumbling and COM
plant as ever. Good times have not
arrived, at least in New York state. L
looked into the matter there for my own
interest
II did not vote on the tariff bill. I
suppose some people thought should
have voted against it, after making a
speech against the bill But, then, 1t
would not have been good politics. We
could have defeated that tariff bill with
the greatest ease, but it would have
been a mistake for us to have done it.
What if the bill had been defeated and
good times still failed to arrive? Why,
the party in power now would have
come around and said, We had the
remedy, but you would not allow US to
try it, Then the entire question would
have been brought up again. Now, if
this bill will bring good times all's well,
but if should not, then the silver vic
tory of 1900 is a. greater certainty than
at present.

A MENACE TO LIBERTY.

Following the removal of Professor
Bemis and the enforced resignation of
E. Benjamin Andrews from the presi-
dency of Brown university on account
of holding opinions contrary to those of
the managers of the respective instttu-
lions with which they were connected
and daring to express them, there seems
to have been an outburst of this tend
ency to suppress freedom of speech and
thought in various places.
In West Virginia a judge has enjoin-
ed the assemblage of the coal miners
for the purpose of participating in
discussion of matters pertaining to their
interests. Leaders of the labor organ
izations of the country are forbidden
by the same power to address the min
ers on questions which concern their
welfare.
Up in Boston, city which has been
popularity supposed to be the very era
die of American liberty, the gentleman
in charge of the public library has de-
cided that it is his duty to exercise a
censorship upon the public concerning
the books which it may or may not
read.
He has decided that certain foreign
books which advocate socialistic and
other advanced, or, if the term is more
correct, extreme ideas, shall be con-
fined to the use of such readers as the
librarian believes can read them with
out injury.
Just as Congressman Walker assumes
to determine what is truth and what is
not, relating to the question of bimet-
allism and forces President Andrews to
resign owing to a difference of opinion
between himself and, that gentleman;
as a West Virginia court declares that
Eugene V. Debs shall not exploit his
views before an assemblage of coal
miners in that state; so the Boston Ii
brarian constitutes himself the censor
of the reading public of the Hub.
In all these cases the people are not
to be permitted to decide for them
selves what is true, just, right and best
for them but it is all decided in ad-
vance for them by some individual
pulled up with a little brief authority
Such proceedings would not be sur
prising in Russia or even in Germany
under her present ruler, but they would
not be tolerated in England. If such
actions are permitted to stand without
protest or interference, it is only a
question of time until there will be an
attempt to muzzle the press. This is
the logical outcome-the natural result
of such a course if permitted to pro-
coed unrebuked.

BOYLEs POPGUN.

Little Mr.. Boyle's popgun which he
has fired with so much noise, and so lit
tie effect need not alarm anyone. Kan
sas is not going to get into any war
with the United States. Troops will not
be marched in here and the country
laid waste.
Mr.. Boyle will not be put in Jail and
thus steal Webb McNalls thunder. The
Federal courts do not make martyrs of
little folks who make faces at them.
Political wind is at the bottom of
this explosion. The question as to
whether certain insurance companies
have a right to do business in Kansas
will be settled in the courts. 1t is pure
ly a business matter. The people of
Kansas have no cause to have their in
dignation aroused. 1t is a plain bust
ness question to be settled in a plain
business way. AS for Mr.. Boyle he
will doubtless continue to tell his trout
bles to his favorite Kansas City paper.
Those published in his own state will
take care of the welfare of Kansas as
heretofore.

THIS IS ANOTHER BRIDGE.
Commissioners and Water Company
Clash Regarding the Latter's
Riphtg.

The county commissioners and water
company are at loggerheads. The wa
ter company wants to put it's North To-
peka main on the new Melan bridge
and the commissioners want it kept off
unless the company will pay $4,000,
which Mr.. Hinckley figures is their
share.
Manager Jesse Shaw has held a con-
ference with the board. He asked where
the board wanted the main put, and
was informed that they did not want
it on the bridge at all. Mr.. Shaw said
that the franchise of the company
permits it to use the bridge. He pro-
posed to place the main under the pave
ment so that it will not mar the beauty
of the bridge or be in the way.
Commissioner Scott Kelsey says that
the board will keep the water and gas
companies off the bridge if possible. He
thinks the repair of the pipes in case
of breakage would do the bridge great
damage. The commissioners have
made provisions to have the city fire
alarm and electric light wires placed
in conduitS in the concrete, but they
want the matter to stop there.

STANDS By THE CITY.
Mayor of Terre Haute Refuses to Sign
for Street Lighting

Terre Haute, Ind. Aug. 11.-Mayor
Ross refused to sign the order for the
payment of 50, 1919 to Russell Harrison's
company for street lighting during Jul
ly, on the ground that his company
owes the city $4,944 back taxes and S.
Ais for street improvements His hon
or says that the amount of the vouch-
er should be deducted from the amount
owing the city.
Harrison is president of the street
railway company and a year or so ago
organized a lighting company, whose
plant is operated in connection with the
trolley company.
Mayor Ross says that Harrison trans
ferred the franchise, good will, ETC.,
of the lighting company to the street
railway corporation this spring to
avoid meeting this obligation to the
city.
There is a prospect of a litigation
over the matter. Harrison has secured
many privileges from the council in the
past and has made enemies of those
whom he could not use by sharply an
tagonizing them before the public. They
seem to think now that their day of
retribution has come.

BOOMS BOTTLED WHISKY.
South Carolina Judge Defines an Orig
inal Package.

Charleston. s. C., Aug. 11.-Judge ST.
monitor, in the United States circuit
court, filed his decision as TO what con-
stitutes an original package. After re-
citing the cause of action and some au-
thorities, the judge says:
1T appears that an original package
is the package delivered by an importer
to the carrier at the initial place of
shipment in the exact condition in which
it was shipped. If in single bottles
shipped singly or in packages of three
or more, securely fastened together and
marked, or if in a box, barrel or crate
or other receptacle, the single bottle in
the one instance, the three or more bot
ties in another instance, the barrel box
crate or other receptacle, respectively
constitutes the original package, if
sold or delivered as shipped and re-
ceived."
This is good news to the package
stores and 10 all who dislike the dis
pensary law.
The package stores now have large
consignments Of liquors shipped in half
pint and quart bottles, in paper car
toons, packed loose in cars. This en-
ables them to sell as the trade demands
in quantities as desired. The state can
not long compete with this trade and
an early. closing of Palmetto rum shops
is anticipated.

KITE DRAWS A CYCLE.
Prof Robinson Talks a Spin With a
Five-Foot, Flyer Attached to
His Bike.

Nunda, N. Y, Aug. 1.-THE kite craze
has apparently struck this town to
stay. All kinds of experiments are be-
ing made with them, and they have
been used to furnish motive power by
some enthusiasts.
Among the experimenters is Prof. W.
NJ. Robinson, who was at one time
principal of the Nunda high school. He
has made five foot kite so as to COM
bine the greatest amount of strength
with the least weight.
The braces are made of thin bars of
aluminium, and over this is stretched a
very tough fibre of linen paper.
Prof. Robinson mounted his bicycle
yesterday afternoon, and, taking the
kite with him, started out for spin.
There was a strong wind, and, aided by
his kite, he went along at a good rate
of speed

FARMERS ~THE WHOLE THING

OF the trust and railroad securities
ordinarily dealt in on change, nearly
every one showed a marked advance
yesterday. Along with securities in
their upward flight went wheat and
corn.
Some time has now elapsed since it
began to be said that securities had
gone beyond the figures warranted by
existing conditions. This might have
been true at the time, but prices con-
ttnue to climb upward. The fact is,
