RED TAPE Is BRoKEN.-One OF the
most important decisions made in years
BY the Treasury Department has been
announced and will be welcomed by
the business men OF the country ss
abolishing an annoyance they have ex-
perienced In connection with business.
Heret ofore the government has insist
ed, through the subtreasurers, that all
government checks and warrants not
only must be fully and completely in.
dorsed in the regular way, but also
must be accompanied by certificate
showing the authority OF the indorser
to indorse the check. This has fire.
quently given rise to vexatous delay
and q sort of red tape which has an
noyed bankers and business men every
where. By a ruling of the department
made yesterday, subtreasurers through
out the country will hereafter pay gov
eminent warrants and checks when in
dorsed, and Endorsement guaranteed,
by the banks presenting the same for
payment. This reduces the proposition
10 one OF simple business caution. and
and hereafter the government will pay
warrants much as cautious business
man or banker would pay similarly in
dorsed paper.

JOHN NICHOLSON, of Norfolk, who
had just returned from the Philippines,
where he served as member of the

the statement that Gen. Frederick
Funston was the originator OF the cele.
brated water cure, by which the Fill
pinos are so severely punished in order
to make them reveal information that
may be OF use to the American troops.
He says that Gen. Funston employed 1t

The st. Louis Shoe Manufacturers
association, representing all the big
manufacturers of shoes in the world S
fair city, have decided to make an
exhibit at the Louisiana Purchase ex-
hibit, as outlined at a recent meeting
of the association, include the install
lation of a mammoth shoe factory
in the manufacturers building, sup
ported by and representative of the
facturers of st. Louis. All the vari-
Gus factories of the city will have
sections within the big factory, and
every brand of footwear made in ST..
Louis will be produced before the
eyes of the visitors. In this way the
people of all the world will see the
st. Louis made shoes in all stages
and process of manufacture In dis
cussing the elaborate plans of the
Footwear Manufacturers association,
one of the officers says: 1--WE are in
Missouri, and we will show 'em the
kind of material we use and the way
our mechanics and machines make
the footwear we are Offering to the
buyers of the world. The st. Louis
shoe market now extends to every
quarter of the globe on which we
live. The last United States census
shows that st. Louis shoe trade has
made the largest increase of any city
in the country. The same proportion
of gain within the next five years will
make st. Louis the largest producer
of shoes in the world, as it is now
the largest shoe market We expect
our live exhibit" at the worlds fair
to assist us materially in reaching
that much coveted honor"

IN OLD MlSSOULA.

Over in Missoula county the demo-
Gratis are said to be divided into Clark
and Heinze factions. The Clark bunch
is led by Judge John M. Evans, by far
the shrewdest of them all in those
parts, and in his following are nearly
all the county officers who expect re,
nomination Lieutenant Governor
Higgins, w. H. McLauglin, M. M.
Joyce, candidate for senator, and
Charles H. Hall, county attorney, are
with the Heinze crowd, and there is
imminent danger of the democrats
losing their grip in old Hellgate pre-
einct. The labor men are going to
put up full county ticket and leave
the democrats to fight it out in pairs.
Judge Evans, the Clark leader, is a
candidate for state senator, and the
other head men want to be reelected
to the county offices they now hold
In this connection is recalled a re

There is more than one candidate
who is breathing soft and low these
days, fearing he knows not what, but
certain that some familiar friend is
undermining him and playing for a
nomination over his shoulders. Cold
chunks of comfort may thrust them
selves up against the sheriff, the
county clerk or the assessor that he
is not the only one who is on the
anxious seat, even with faint of
treachery in the immediate official
family, but the candidate for county
stands on an eminence with no fear
of enemies within or friends without.
