Washington, NOV. H. Senator Dubois
of Idaho has come to Washington with a
brand new explanation as to why the re-
publican ticket swept the mountain states
this month. He says: ":
1.-THE big republican majority in: the far
western states was due to the enactment
of the irrigation Jaw. No legislation by
congress has been of more Importance to
the west than that providing for irri-
cation, since the passage Of the home
stead laws. Even the homestead laws
may prove of less: Importance to the well
fare of that section of the country.
Mr.. Roosevelt was the first president to
recommend that action and the people
insisted on giving him the credit for it.
We pointed out on every possible occasion
that more democrats than republicans
voted for the bill. It. availed nothing. The
people insisted that it was the presidents

October's Big Record.

oCSOHCT oIS VSSO'
The business here in October helped
swell the Minneapolis total, the clearings
for that month running to $SS,00O.O00,
compared. with $76,0oO,o00 in October 1901.
A comparison for four years will show
that Minneapolis held her own with 9TH
err American cities throughout, but in. the
past six months ran away from them all.
In 1899 the bank clearings in st. Paul
for the first ten months were 1872. $1,000.
St. Paul gained 4.6 per cent in 1900 and
jumped to $201 .000,0 900; gained only per
cent in 1901 and touched $205,0OO,OOO, and
to Oct. 1, this year gains 1910 per cent
and totals s236,ooo,o 900. Minneapolis In
the same period in 1899 totals $422, wv WV
gained 10. 66 per cent in 1900, to $467, 000,-
900; gained only .O6 in 1901 to $470, 900, 900,
but to Oct this year gains 2O.O7 per
cent to 1851, 900. - r...-: :, =,
| From these figures it will be seen that
the clearings here to date this year are
1891, 900, 900 larger than in St. Pau; and
that In the ratio Of increase the city is
running away from every point in the
country. d: -.

PRIESTS STRONG LANGUAGE.


The Rev. Thomas Hagerty, a Catholic
priest Of Denver, addressed a good sized
audience in Masonic Hall last night on the
subject, 1.-THE Compelling Truths of Social
ISM He devoted most of his address to
pointing out evils which he said existed
on account of the present economic system.
He said women and girls are employed in
factories and department stores at such
small salaries that they are compelled to
sell their bodies and souls to exist, or are
driven to suicide He said all men are So
cially interdependent on each other and,
therefore. ought to share equally in So
ciety.
Society to-day, he said, is fifty years be-
hind the industrial evolution, because the
poor man does not share the benefits of
modern inventions for convenience and
comfort. If workingman was held UP
on Saturday night by a highwayman and
robbed of four-ffths of his earnings he
would protest. but, the priest declared, he
is robbed of four-fifths of his pay each Sat-
urday night by his employer in taking the
profit on what he produces and he does
not object. He said the man who did 500
worth of work in week and received So
for 1t was robbed.
Abiding to the attitude of the church
toward society he remarked that the church
considers a Socialist an enemy On the
other hand, he said, socialism gives reli-
gion a chance. and that there can be no
conflict between the church and socialism.
He recited the golden rule and quoted pas
sages from Scripture, which state it shall
or usury, and followed this with saying no
man could be a capitalist and be Chris
tan because he is constantly acting in vio-
lation of the instructions in the Bible.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-On Sept. rs last
Secretary Shaw issued a notice to the ef-
feet that the department would purchase
any of the United States per cent. bonds
Of 1904 at $105 fiat If presented on or before
Oct. Is (to-day). Under that offer the Sec
rotary purchased fives to the amount OF
s23,500. Some days after this notice was is
sued the secretary announced that offers
for the sale of government threes and fours
would be considered by the department.
but intimated that the prices must be low
II sales were made. Offers under this an
nouncement have been received aggregat-
ing as follows: ss7O0.OOo fours of 1925 at
$13S.25; 100000 tours of 1907 at $l1o.5O. All
of these offers have been rejected.
Secretary Shaw is now on his way to
Oakland City, Ind, where he will deliver
a political speech tomorrow evening. When
questioned in regard to the statement that
the secretary was planning to purchase a
large block of bonds, the treasury officials
now here declined, in the secretary's alb
sence, to discuss the matter further than
to say that the report probably was with
out foundation. The fact that the secre-
tary has so far declined all bond offers Is
taken as conclusive that he is not at pres
ent, at least, in the market.
