There is something salutary
about the legislation in China
against fraud and treachery.
Where bank failures in that coun-
try arc tainted with fraud the head
officers of the bank are beheaded.
This is All old law and bank fail
ures in China are unknown. Re.
Gently an imperial edict was issued
against a prominent official for
fraud in assisting a powerful sy IL
dictate to obtain valuable raili DAD
conce, sion. The edict DEGREES that
the offender be imprisoned for life.
This is summary proceeding, but
the case called for some energetic
action because of the effect it would
have on the increased business now
going on between Chinese and for.
eigners. While the Chinese wei.
come the open door to trade, they
wish it understood that they wan,
it closed to fraud, and that is not a
bad policy to escape through the
open door of the east into all ma.
tons seeking entrance there.

Steunenbergism is still on trial
in the Investigations at the national
capital. The horrors of the bull
pen and the iniquities of the permit
system are being aired for the de-
lectati IN of crowds that gather al
the daily hearings. In some quar-
ters of Idaho it has been considered
rank anarchy to criticise the action

Lewiston valley will have great
crop this year. The project of a
fair this fall could hardly be sprung
at better time. 1t will attract
homeseekers here at a time when
conditions show the country at its
best. The valleys and upiands OF
the Clearwater country will be in
happy accord this year with the
project, and the crop they will fur
nish the fair will be the best word
that could be sent out to advertise
the country. Seeing is believing,
and sight Of the Lewiston valley
this year, about harvest time, will
be the only Involvement needed to
convince the homeseeker that his
journey is ended.

OF these alleged doubtful states
Bryan carried but three in the hey
day Of his political prestige, and
since that time two OF them have
deserted him. Kansas elected a
republican governor over fusion
In 1898 by 1880 plurality, and
Wyoming elected republican gov
ernor by plurality of 1894 votes,
Delaware maintained its repub-
lican integrity in 1898 by electing
republican governor by major
ity of 1898; Illinois elected another
by 43,45o. Indiana carried the
state election Of 1898 republican by
rs, 2o5 plurality. New York elected
Roosevelt by IS, o7o; West Virginia
has had no election. Minnesota
alone Of all the doubtful list
changed political complexion in the
election Of 1898. That state elected
a fusion governor by plurality Of
20, 500, yet II would be rash judg-
ment that would place the state Of
Minnesota in the doubtful column
on the issues of the Chicago plat
form plus the anti.expansion ideas
which are to be grated upon it at
Kansas City next July.
The fact is that every state in
the so-called doubtful column Is
safely republican except South
Dakota, and any hope to land
Bryan in the presidential chair
over this route is building hopes
on a basis as slippery as stairs OF
sand. With Bryan as a candidate
and the Chicago platform and its
anti-expansion addenda the doubt.

the democratic fold and steal away
a few little lambs. Idaho and
Utah are already straying from the
corral and Virginia is hardly safe.

Prosperity is not caused by the
republican administration, say the
democrats; it is only coincident
with it. But the voters will prob
ably decide that such a coincidence
is too happy a combination to be
broken up and will want to play
the same combination this fall. Re.
publicanlsm and prosperity is bet
ter for the producer and consumer
than democracy and deficit.

American Money for Foreign Loans

After two and half centuries of
control in the world of finance the
great city on the Thames is yield

In many particulars New York is
getting ahead of London. New
York's imports and exports are
greater than London's. The aggre-
gate of its bank clearances is much
larger than lat of England's city.
