of saloon destruction, she may get into
trouble. In reported interview at To-
peka she is quoted as planning crusade
in New York city. That would not
work as regards New York saloons, be-
cause they are protected by law. Saloon
fixtures in New York are entitled to the
same legal protection as other property,
and the saloon business is licensed and
under protection of law. If Mrs. Ma
ton goes to New York she will have
to content herself with a crusade on
gambling joints and disorderly houses.
Mrs. Nation, however, would doubtless
find a field of ample dimensions in abat-
ing this line of institutions, and may be
able to fill for the big town long felt
want. When she gets through with the
gambling joints and disorderly houses
of the country, there still remain the sa-
looms of prohibition Maine.
Meantime, the raid of Kansas saloons
proceeds with growing momentum. Mrs.
Nation now has an organized army of
forty-odd helpers. A second leader in the
person of Mrs. Sheriff has appeared with
ten w. c. T. U. fighters and reserve
force of husbands and sons for a body
guard. Wichita, Enterprise, Anthony
and Topeka have been pretty thoroughly
crusaded already, and the movement has
put a damper on Kansas saloon bus
mess. It seems that Mrs Nation made
her debut as a saloon wrecker ten years
ago, when she put hors du combat the
saloons Of Medicine Lodge and Wichita.
Mrs, Sheriff is not altogether a green
hand, either having been at the bus
mess six weeks, with a record of four
closed saloons in Anthony alone and a
further list in smaller towns. 1t looks
very much as though the temperance
women of Kansas, backed by the con-
stitution and laws of that state, had
both the saloons and offfceholders very
much on the hip and stand in a fair way
to make mince-meat of the former and
laughing-stock of the latter.

sorts of things are sent through the
mails. Clerks at the headquarters of
both national parties possess rubber fac
SMILES of the signatures of congressman,
by means of which tons of political docu-
ments are loaded on the mail service, at
the expense OF the department. Tools
and other heavy equipments of govern
ment surveying parties are sent by mail.
On one occasion a government party is
reported to have sent tons of mineral
specimens from Montana to Washington
by mail, the actual cost of transporta-
ton of which was $1,000.
Not long since an Office desk was sent
from Indianapolis Ind, to, Manila by

reached its destination, it would stand
the government about 5000.
Parts of books are incorporated in con-
gressionaI speeches and sent Broadcast
over the country as free matter. Tons of
seeds from the agricultural department,
ninetenths of which never are used,
swell the cost of the department with
out doing any good.
If the free matter sent out last year
the year including the national cleo
tion-had been paid for at the usual rates,
it would have amounted to $35OO.O0O in
round numbers, sufficient to wipe out the
entire deficiency of the department.
To show where this abuse is located
and to fix upon the parties responsible 1t
is only necessary to examine the report
of the Washington postoffice That office
handles more mail than all the offices in
the following states: Maine, New Jersey,
North Carolina, Connecticut, Georgia,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Iowa,
Texas and California. OF this over one

WEEK IN WALL STREET.
Market Has Been Largely Manipu-
lated by Professional Traders.

lated by Professional Traders.
The stock market this week has been
largely in the hands of professional trad
crs OF abundant resources, and while the
general demand from the outside public
Tor stocks has been rather languid the
professionals have been able to manipu-
late prices at will. For instance, the
transactions in ST Paul the control of
which is admittedly sought by some of
the most powerful financial interests in
the country, footed up for a single day
more than half the total number of out
standing shares of capital stock of the
company, and for the week the number
OF shares dealt in exceeds by a liberal
margin the total common stock issue.
The case of st. Paul is a fairly repre-
sentative one. 1t has been made clear
that this kind of market is not to the
taste of the more substantial interests in
the street, probably because it interferes
with plans maturing for the strengthen
ing and consolidation of the railway prop
critics. The inspired announcement that
the St Paul deal was off was the out
growth Of this sentiment. An excited
speculative demand for a stock in the
open market is not calculated to facilitate
negotiations for purchase or control by
private agreement. 1t would indicate
that in more than one case the advance
in price of a stock has been part of
plan to Illustrate an intended purchase
for control. 1t is believed in Wall street
that many such plans are held in abey-
ance on account of the level of prices
which have been attained in the stock
market, to be tenaciously followed up at
the most favorable opportunity The
statement issued by the Steel s. Wire
company was not regarded as reassuring
as to the trade conditions disclosed and
the Iron Age frankly admits "a DISPOSE
ton to halt in the trade" Some appre-
hension continues to exist concerning the
final settlement of disputes at issue be-
tween the powerful combinations in the
trade. The fact that there has fairly de-
veloped something like hostile array be-
tween two of the most stubborn and
strongest personalities in the financial
world each of which has boundless re-
sources at his back. makes the future Of
this dispute of vital interest to all
branches of the steel and iron trade. AS
to the money market, the outflow of gold
is regarded with equanimity as it is with
drawn from fairly plethortc market.

1t is country Of immense natural

eff Manchuria were such a wretchedly

have fallen to the lot of the Russians,
comparatively little attention need be
paid to the progress of events in that

on the contrary, a country of exceeding
