compared with 81, 21s, 372 in 1899. This would
indicate that the world is rapidly going
to the bad in that particular line of de-
pravity. When, however. it is stated that
the average of the last twenty-three years
bad. The amount stolen by public officials
last year was s1,1sS,67 from banks 81 ST.
Isl. more than three-fourths of which was
stolen by six employees in as many banks.
During the year 1SS3-s4 the total of en-
bezzlements was s26. 5O4, 900, and in 1S93-ei
the total reached the frightful figure of
1926. IA. The reader can draw his own
conclusions from these figures.

they are rather too fine favored. He would
rot appreciate them, would feel them OPP
pressive, and a frivolous person wishing

could do so on the theory that he felt him

In considering the opportunities of writer's
Mr.. John Gilmer Speed, in the Literary Era,
laments the passing of the weekly news
paper as a remunerative field, and adds:
The weekly which paid fair prices to its
contributors Y rs always the best medium
for a periodical writer TO cultivate on ac-
count of the frequency of publication. On
the same principle one might say that the
oaily paper should be seven times as good
as the weekly. And for some such is the
case; but for such some especial equipment
and peculiar temperament are desirable.
They should nave more cleverness in the
legs than in the head, and should nave
skins as thick as leather. They must cover
much ground quickly and feel not shame In
base and vulgar deeds. So in my con-
si6eration of writers for periodicals I leave
out the daily newspaper men entirely.
Mr.. Speed, through this uncalled-for fling,
succeeds in insulting a good many men
of quite as good literary standing and per-
sonal reputation as himself. The calling
of a reporter does not mean on all papers
what it does on the New York yellow jour
nails, to one of which Mr.. Speed was once
attached. In other quarters it is properly
regarded as an honorable profession.

nor can 1t be altogether due to timidity
that he has ceased to speak for himself
when ladies are present. 1t must be, as
the acute club women assert, that he has
allowed his natural eloauence to be checked
by her superior volubility. The question
that arises. however, is, does man wish
to be reformed in this direction? Is he
not well enough satisfied as it is? 1t is
much easier to sit passive and be talked
TO than TO be on the alert, to choose
topics for conversation. TO be ready with
reply or repartee. No responsibility is at
tached TO his present situation and but
slight mental effort involved. An occasional
yes or no. a grin at suitable intervals. and
a look of intelligence now and then serve
TO carry him through formidable social
functions. He is not even required TO listen
carefully to what the lady who undertakes
his entertainment is saying. When he has
had some experience he can devote him
self to his dinner or let his thoughts safely
wander off to. other fields while the femi-
nine prattle at his ear goes smoothly on.
He is accustomed to this, and will hardly
wish to change. 1t will afford him no
satisfaction, but, on the contrary, Will be
likely to rouse in him a spirit of revolt
to be told that the next lady whom he
shall take into dinner will wait in silence
for him to open the conversation and will
expect him to do his part in carrying 1T on.
1t is not so much that he loves the femi-
nine monologue, but that he prefers i'm
munity from thought and responsibility
1t seems likely that the Chicago man will
decline to become a onversationalist and
that unless club women will consent to
perfect silence at their dinners and other
social f-unctions-an inconceivable SUPPOSE
tion-they will nave to continue to bear
the conversational brunt as heretofore.
Chicago men being but typical, the same
situation will probably obtain wherever the
reform is tried. Even the Federation, with
out mans cooperation, cannot improve
his powers.

Mr.. JOIN Barry, a clever young liter
man of New York, lately grew so indignant
over certain verbal changes made in one of
his stories by the editor of the magazine
called the Smart Set that he printed 4
card in one of the daily papers protesting
against the changes and d~isowning the re-
vised version. The quality of the editing,
he says, may be judged from this change:
'sWhere one of the characters, a young
graduate of Harvard, a Northerner, ha
remarked, We'll, 1 guess it's all over the
editor made him say. 1T looks like it's all
over" 1t would appear from this that
the editor of the Smart Set is of Hoosier
origin, this use of the word like being a
distinctive characteristic of the unlettered
Indianian. Not that the Journal wishes to
insinuate for a moment that the editor of
any New York magazine could be inlet
tered. Perish the thought!

1t is a Surprise to learn that at the Paris
exposition Illinois took the prize for apples
over the much moro famous apple States
of New York. Michigan and Missouri. The
Illinois fruit took fifteen gold medals and a
grand prize. Indiana ought to be as good an
apple-growing State as Illinois, especially
the hill counties in the southern part of
the State. but for some reason or other
the industry seems to be steadily declining
in this State. Is 1t lack of enterprise in
starting new orchards?

independ ence Of the West.


The New York Commercial thinks
that the remarkable prosperity which
the west has been enjoying for several
years, is likely to result in that part of
the country becoming independent of
the eastern money centers.. The paper
puts the case thus:
To anybody who has kept an eye on
the business movement throughout
the west since 1897, noting the rapid
spread OF prosperity there after the
long period OF depression, and who has
remarked also the changed tone of
many of the western newspapers, the
reports from western banks in Thurs
days Commercial were hardly reve.
lation OF surprise. The metamor-
phosis of Kansas and Nebraska farm.
ers from populists to plutocrats is no
joke--and they are only typical of all
classes in a dozen or so states of the
west that were burdened with debt up
to four years ago.
To the public at large, however, it
was as surprising rs it was gratifying
to learn that so much spare cash has
accumulated In the banks of the great
grain states. 1t is the direct result, of
course of the return of business con-
fidence and of series of good-crop
years; but it is none the less wonderful
that within half decade mortgages
and other debts representing millions
of dollars should have been discharged,
the payment Of interest stopped, and
borrowers actually have become lend
ers. A vast amount of the money
wealth Of the country is now centered
in the grain states of the west, and
there is great deal of force and sig
pificance in the statement of promi.
nent New York banker recently that
the relations of New York banks and
those Of the interior are not likely to
long continue as at present. The
change has already begun. The west
Is fast approaching condition of
something very like financial indie
pendence.

A new method of heated cars has
been adopted in Christiania aud Stock
holm, according to the Railway Herald
of London. The apparatus consists of
long perforated boxes, one under each
length of seats. The boxes are filled
with red hot briquettes of compressed
coal, prepared so that no smoke or
smell results from their ption,
Iron sheeting Is arranged under the
seats which allows the fumes to escape
into the open air. On fresh air pass
ing through a ventilstor placed under
the coal box at the bottom of the car
the hot combustible gases pass through
this iron sheeting throughout its en-.
tire length, diffusing a steady heat
into the car through set of perforated
iron plates placed between the legs of
the seats. The speed of the car de-
yelops sufficient draft completely TO
consume the Sriquettes. 1t Is asserted
the system has been found entirely
satisfactory, even on the score Of econ
omy.
