THE MENACE OF WALL STREET.
Nj. M. MURDOCH, Editor.

Wall street Wall street men and methods, are ever
menace TO business interests Of this country Board

Two or three times within memory of the present gen
Grafton with good times prevailing the enormous gamb-
ling speculatons of Wall street plunged the entire
country into money panic It is only in prosperous
times that it is possible for these conscientious ganb
lers to do great harm In good times these plungers
and their conferees evolve untold millions OF
fictitious values which they unload the country
through systematic buying selling themselves
over-captalizaon watering Of stocks is an easy
matter in flush times impossible in hard times
The trusts are an outgrowth were inspired by wall
street and its methods The capitalist manipulators
combine and merge industries and corporations for the
sole purpose Of doubling tebng the issues Of stock
which stock becomes the stockn-trade Of Wall street
The load of extra issue becoming too heavy there is
failure of guaranteed dividends extensive bank
borrowing then collapse from which the entire country
suffers from the fact Of shortage of money by the
banks too great shortage bursting banks, des
truction and prostration The Wall street man who
makes million dollars single days weeks deals
creates no value he simply robs. The thousand million
made in single week by the Wall street combine is not
made in fact but is stolen from the industrial and com
ercal interests of the country which sooner or later
collapse from over burden.

THE KANsAN WHO MADE THE BIGGEST SHOW.
The Kansas City Journal in reviewing the result OF
the election in Kansas that the hguremakers
at Topeka will find rather curious things in the
returns of election Bailey, with something like
$4,000 majority does not lead the ticket. 1t would ap
pear that many Of the prohibitonsts who voted for
Emerson. also voted for certain nominees the Re
publican ticket putting them little ahead of Bailey.
The majority for Tom Kelley is something like $4,000
less than the majority for Bailey. While the increase
in majortes for the Republican state ticket from 1900
1900 $4,000 in 1892 is something remarkable the
really phenomenal increase found in the of Con
gresham Long Between these two years Long increased
his majority than four times It is unparaI
eled in the history Of Kansas elections And would
be significant OF the popularity that gentle
man among the common people"

SAVED FROM EXECUTION.
Son of Prest. Roca Signed Fathers
Name TO Request for a Pardon.

New York, Sept, 6-Newspapers OF
this city are commenting on a curious
affair which has just taken place, ca
bes the Buenos Ayres correspondent Of
the Herald. A murderer named Juan
Rodriguez was sentenced to death hy
the tribunal at Mendoza.
The governor OF the place would not
pardon the condemned man and the
execution would have taken place on
Thursday except for a dispatch which
apparently, came at the last moment
from President Roca. recommending
that a pardon De granted.
When the president learned of the
pardon he denied having sent such a
dispatch. Upon investigation II was
developed that the message was sent
by DR.. Julio Roca the PRESIDENT son
and private secretary. who signed hi,
fathers name TO the message. He said
that he did so IN accordance wltn the
request OF the Chilean minister. Senor
Concha Subercaseaux.
DR.. Roca explained that II was late 4
night to awaken the president. He
therefore sent the dispatch without his
fathers knowledge because he was sure
the president would not refuse the h.
tercesslon.
