LIeutentnt Winston Leonard Churchill,
eldest son OF the late Lord Randolph
Churchill. is making a distinct hit in the
political field. He has been elected pres.
iient OF the Midland conservative club
and, az meeting held at Birmingham
on Thursday to welcome him, he made
an extremely able speech, 0Sring the
course OF which he evoked much merri-
ment by saying the expression OF a
presidential address always reminded him
Of the high politics Of queens speech,

President Mckinley, or, coming to lesser

dgnifed styles OF public utterances.
Churchill also treated Lord Rosebery,
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Mr. John
Morley and other big leaders of the or.
position TO dose of chatting but his
clever criticism and speech generally
attracted considerable attention. The
conservative Morning Post says;
"The old political leaders had better
look to their laurels Churchilrs speech
has force OF movement and humor that
delighted his hearers, and discloses
sense Of form of consciousness that ora.
tory is an art, which will leave the pub.

MONEY AT ENORMOUS RATES
How the Sharks" Prey Upon Improvident
Salaried Men.
FOUR HUNDRED PER CENT PER ANNuM
AllurinE Announcements Attract the
WorIsiDRman who Is in Financial
Embnrrnssment-PIan by Which
Interest Exceeds Principal.

Omaha, like every other metropolitan CEN
ter, has its usurers who cater to IMPROVE
dent borrowers to whom dollar today looks
more enchanting than ten-dolar gold piece
an the future. These usurers are commonly
known as money sharks the name orig-
mating from the fact that in many instances
the interest exceeds the principal. Borrow
ing money on this plan is a progressive
game, as cumulative as an alcoholic appe-
tite-one loan calling for another, the same
as .one drink calls for another.
Alluring circulars, skillfully worded, an
nounce to the salaried man that II he is in
the permanent employ of some responsible
firm he can borrow money on his own note
without Endorsement or security of any kind.
Strict confidence is also vouchsafed, and one
in financial embarrassment is imbued with
hope of relief as he reads how easy it Is to
borrow and how easy 1t will be to pay back
in small weekly installments to suit the
convenience of the borrower"
The salaried man goes to the shark. He
answers voluminous array of questions as
10 how much salary he receives, how often
he gets his pay. how many other debts he
owes, how long he has been with his present
employers. what specific line of work he is
hired to do, where he last worked before
taking his present situation, to what use he
expects to put the money and probably a
dozen other queries After all these pre-
liminares, If he has made his statements
strong enough and they bear the insignia OF
truth he gets the loan.
Ten per cent per month-120 per cent per
annum-is about the average rate of inter-
est demanded by Omaha money sharks. but
1t is in reality more than that when the
method OF payment Is considered for the
borrower does not get the use OF the whole
amount of the loan, for the rules require
weekly installments, but the partial pay
ment plan OF counting interest does not hold
good In some instances, the borrower is
allowed TO make monthly installments, this
concession being made where salaries are
paid monthly, but the shark prefers weekly
payments wherever possible, and when they
ire made monthly the amount must of course

be just four times as much as it would be
were the installments made weekly.
