HIGHEST PRICES OF THE YEAR

from DUN s EGNleW.J
Dun's Index Number on September 4
was ss6.9Il. making the cost of living
1-6 Per cent. higher than on August l.
The present range of values. based on
the per capita consumption of $50 quo
tations. is higher than at any previous
time this year. and only about so cents
lower than the top point of 1900, when
the index number was at the high
water mark OF the decade. Changes
during the last month We're exception
ally interesting. since they faithfully
reflect the only two untoward influ-
ences of the year. Following the usual
method of classification. it appears
that in breadstuns there was a rise OF
"A per cent in August. almost entirely
due to the advance in the price of corn
as other cereals varied little. although
beans and peas reached a higher level.
The effects Of the decreased yield Of
maize were more pronounced during
the early part of August than at the
opening of the new month, and wheat
also reached q much higher level. These
huctuation were largely due to spec
ulation, and could not be maintained
in the face of corn exports averaging
less than half a million bushels week
". Meats also advanced to an abnOr-
mally high point, SURPRISING all recent
years. The gain for the month. how
ever. was only about what might be
expected ia the light Of corn prospects
Dairy. and garden products were slight

From Jam es Manwsos.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
I feel it my duty to make statement
after reading what appeared in your
Saturday evening issue about myself.
In the first place I did not make any
such statement as Streeter or Vittetoe
charge me with, and never thought of
making. and never did make such a
remark I have been in this country
over thirteen years and have been
citizen of the United States over eight
years. I came to this country poor
boy without money or friends and made
a living by working wherever could
get work to do. BY hard work, and
Saving all that I could. I have been
able to build up the business now
have I have a mother and father in
Greece and I have been able the last
two years to send to them about five
or ten dollars every month The poor
people in this country have better
chance to make a good living If they
will work than they have in Greece 1
like this country, its government, and
the people of this country. The two
above named parties have done me a
very great wrong by charging me with
saving that which I never did say, and
which they knew was false and I'M
true when they charged me with max
ing such a remark

became known to fame he was a minister
of remote parish in Perthshire and was
not considered a particularly attractive

his church, and these had the effect Of

Milburn House. Buffalo, Sept 9.-Dr-
Roswell Park. one of the physicians in
attendance on the president, speaking
of the presidents condition. said to-
day:
If in a case analogous to that Of the
president, the patient is in good cOndi-
ton at the end Of the third day the at
tendants are justified in regarding it as
having passed a most critical period
Yesterday the president slept like a.
child and this morning was as cheerful
as could be desired and as communica-
tive as the attendants permitted him to
be. We can not allow him to talk yet
or permit him to tire himself in any
way. Mrs. Mckinley is the only person,
other than the professional attendant in
the case who is allowed to see the presi-
dent"
DR. Parks manner throughout the in
tervfew indicated that his impression Of
the prospects of the presidents case
based upon the conditions as they now
exist, was hopeful
All of the physicians agree that one
of the most encouraging features OF
the case is that in addition to the
water injection, there has been a lit
tie milk and egg nourishment given the
patient, and that there has been no III

THE Law AND THE PRESIDENT

l.
If President Mckinley shall live the
utmost punishment that can be infiict-
ed upon his assassin is Imprisonment
for ten years BY the laws of New
York under which Czolgosz must be
prosecuted that is the maximum pen
atty for assault with intent to kill.
There is no law. state or federal.
which makes any distinction between
the killing or attempting to kill a pres
fdent and that Of the most obscure
citizen The theory of our government
IS that all citizens, high or low, are
equal in the eyes of the law. As a
theory this is al very fine. but like
many other theories when put into
practice there come times when it ap-
pears to fall short.
True. the life of President Mckinley
means no more to him nor to his fam
sly than were he an ordinary citizen.
but it means vastly more to the coun-
try than that of any other man under
the flag and is therefore entitled to an
extraordinary measure of protection.
Can the country afford to set at lib
erty after ten years man with a
mania for killing presidents? Might
he not try 1T again2 If his bent were
merely the killing of his fellow man.

chances, but in the case of the chief ex-
