New York, Sept. 2s.-The stock mar
: ket WAS q narrow and professional
Affair to day, which ended with q show
of animation and strength on account
Sof an active demand from the short in
Il terests, which covered on the bank
statement. This element saw encour-
agement in the fact that the inroad
upon the banking surplus was re-
stricted to less than $4,000.000 while a
much heavier depletion was expected.
y This sentiment. seemed not to be
affected by the fact that a decline in
the reserve requirement Of over S3,000,-
: oG0 was responsible for this result,
which was brought about by a contrac-
ton OF S5,66S, 400 in the outstanding
loans OF the banks. The actual de-
crease in cash was slightly in excess
Sof that of last week, as had been ex
pected. Besides the liquidation in the
stock market, o large volume of time
! loans is said to be maturing ut this
, time. and the proceeds OF these banks
are inclined to hold for higher rates,
i as explained below.
The prospect of favorable develop
mcnts in the coal strike situation over
Sunday increased the disposition of the
bears to cover, and the recovery in
prices from the early low level ran be-
tween / and 2 points for the principal
active stocks, not a few of which
showed net gains of a point or more.
gThe early selling OF STOCKS was en-
couraged by selling for foreign account
and by rumors of financial difficulties

settlement caused jump Of 2 per cent.

change rates by the exchange bankers,

TIMELY WARNING.

Bank Commissioner BreidenthaIs
warning to the people concerning loan
associations should not be wasted The
commissioner has gone into this sub
ject with much care and the result of
his Investigations marks the first anthem
tic information obtainabie concerning
these organizations.
While there has been a vague impress
sion in the minds of patrons OF some of
these organizations that worthy reforms
in the management of the business
might be instituted, no definite infor-
nation has ever before been secured
concerning them.
That there were things in the man
agement which it was desired should be
concealed from the public was clearly
apparent when the law under which the
bank commissioner now acts was pre-
scented to the legislature. A great lobby
of loan associations officers lowered
around the legislative halls like moths
around flame They pleaded, protest
ed and exhausted every known re-
source to prevent the passage of the
law. The law was amended in some i'm
portant particulars under the influence
of this lobby and the commissioner now
suggests that some changes be made.
This is particularly true of the get
rich-quick schemes to which he refers,
although the patrons of these organi-
cations have only themselves to blame.
1t is well-established rule that one
can not get something for nothing, yet
the people are taken in every day and
then they blame the law" There is no
law to prevent a man from being a vic
tim of these oily schemers and the
warning which Mr.. BreidenthaI has is
sued will doubtless pass over the heads
of many men without notice and to-
morrow they will be caught in the
meshes of these ruthless plunderers of
people in moderate circumstances.

GIVE us MEN OF BUSINESS.

Shawnee county needs some business
men to serve as county commissioners.
There never have been offices more
abused than these-the most important
in the county.
The county commissioners are the
fnaneiers of the county and still men
who know little about finance are usually
chosen. The three men VINO constitute
this board have charge. of the expendi-
ture of all the county money They are
the executive officers who determine
what money is to be raised and how it
is to be spent. The positions are mani
testify of Importance to every one who
pays a cent of taxes or who is interested
in the efficient administration of the af-
fairs of the county.
The men who fill the offices of county
commissioners should be men of broad
minds. They should be above petty re-
taliation They should strive to admin
lister exact justice. The rich man who
has thousands of dollars at his COM
mand should have no more favors than
the man who owns % feet of ground.
The burdens of the government should
fall on all alike but the wealthy and re-
tired individual usually throws his
share upon the shoulders of his neigh
Dor who is less adept in the art of COW
ering up his available assets.
The Topeka merchants have just been
given a serious object lesson. They now
realize the immense power placed in the
hands of the county commissioners and
how it may be abused. The farmers
are allowed to escape with a nominal
valuation of their farms while the mer-
chant is called up before the bar and
given a personal examination to see
whether he has forgotten to make re
turn of bolt of goods or an iron bed
stead.
The merchants should be treated like
/ other tax payers. They ask for nc
greater favors but they certainly have
| good reason to complain of their treat
ment by the Shawnee county board OF
| county commissioners.

Mr.. coRuRN wANrED.

The action of Secretary Coburn of the
state board of agriculture in declining
to serve as president of the association
formed to guide to a successful termina-
ten the emi-Centennial Exposition of
1904 is disappointment to the people
of Kansas. It is hoped that by the
time of the next meeting ofthe directors
Mr.. Coburn will have experienced such
a shower of protests, that he will follow
Governor Roosevelt's example.
While Kansas abounds in wealth in
many different forms. it's soil is its
chief stock in trade and it is essential
ly an agricultural state. The EXPOSE
ton, which will demonstrate to the peo-
pie of the United States the wonderful
progress and achievements of Cor
onado's desert" will as result be es-
sentially an agricultural one. Mr.. CO.
burn is the chief agriculturist of Kan
sas. No one is so wen suited for the
position as he. The reports of the agri-
cultural board under his administration
which have probably done more toward
advertising Kansas than any other
literature sent out from the state, stand
as a proof of Mr.. Coburn's peculiar fit
ness to fill such a position as that of
chief executive of the Exposition.
Kansas wants Mr.. Coburn for presi-
dent of the Exposition. It is one of the
few illustrations of an office of trust
and prominence seeking the man, and
it is earnestly hoped that Mr. Coburn s
generous stock of graciousness will trip
him in the race and be the means of the
office capturing him.

rHERE NAY De orHERs.

The United States senatorial situation
in Kansas from a Republican stand
point is becoming more and more COM
plicated. 1t is growing in bitterness and
Intensity until the leaders of the two
factions carry their scalping knives in
plain view and there is the low rumble
of more trouble coming.
OF course the question primarily
hinges upon the election of a Republican
legislature. Should fusionists capture
the legislature it will save much trouble
to the Republicans over the senatorial
contest for then it will not matter
whether Senator Baker or ]. R. Burton
is the caucus nominee.
However, suppose that the RepubH
cans should have majority in the leg
islature VIII the men who have bat
tied so hard to defeat Mr.. Burton or who
have triumphed over personal attacks
of the friends of Senator Baker be ready
to welcome the dove of peace and en-
dorse the caucus nominee? A half doz-
en- men or perhaps two or three men
may prevent the election of either Mr.
Baker or Mr.. Burton by refusing to
stand by the action of the caucus and
the conditions will be ripe for such
contingency. Representatives have been
nominated who have sworn never to
vote for Mr.. Burton and some of the
Burton supporters have taken similar
obligations with reference to Senator
Baker.
Unless the signs fail there will be
enough of these partisans to prevent the
election of either Mr.. Baker or Ms. Bur
ton, supposing of course that the legis-
lature is Republican. Then there will
come g time when the supporters of the
two candidates will give up in despair
and new man will be sought.
When this man is selected it will be
found that he is not partisan of either
candidate. He will be a man who has
kept outside the pale of fractional fights
and he may be a man who does not
even dream of the honor awaiting him
There are many men in Kansas who
would grace a seat in the United States
senate quite as we'll as either Mr.. Baker
or Mr. Burton and perhaps better The
people will not go into inconsolable
mourning if these two statesmen be
defeated. They may even be ready to
cheer when the dark horse is led out
before the grand stand.
