~ Dangerous Situation.

Recently, Walter Wellnan, the celebrated writer, traveller,
interview with Hon. Leslie M. Shaw, secretary of the United
States treasury. For an attache of the present national adj
ninistration, Secretary Shaw made some remarkable admis-
sions. In his interview with Wellman he said:
''Let me give you some facts without comment. You go out
to the farmers and ask them how they are getting on. They
will tell you they were never before so prosperous. They are
out of debt and have plenty of money. Ask them where their
money is and they will tell you it is in the local banks. Call
at the country banks and inquire into their condition, and their
officers will tell you they are all right-1noney plentiful and
reserves above 40 per cent. Where is your money! yu ask
them. oh, it is in the banks of Omaha, Minneapolis, Kansas
City, etc.
Next you 60 to the bankers in Omaha, Kansas City and
Minneapolis and they will tell you the same thing-they are all
IN good shape; reserves IS per cent. Where is your money?
In Chicagov Now go to Chicago. Same story-banks all
right, reserve 50 per cent-but 'the money is in New York.
Finally, pursuing your inquiries to New York you will find
that both deposits and loans have been enormous. The money
is not in the banks. There are only six national banks in New
York that have not been below their legal reserves since Janu-
airy lst. You want to know where this money is? Well
OO, 900 OF it is loaned by national banks on the bonds of
industrial corporations. These corporations issued bonds in
stead OF stocks because the national banks can take the former
and cant take the latter. Intrinsical1y they are no better than
stocks. In most of them there has been a lot of water-curinp.'
Here you see where $3.50, 000, 900 of the country's surplus
Is standing against a lot of un-digested, neutrality-suspicious.
securities. The trust combines have put out millions more in
the same way. IT,. '- g.: ..
THAT is where we stand" It is all right as lono as Il is ali
right, but don't want to see anything happen. I don't want
to see these lndustrials begin to topple over-to fall against
one another and come down in a heap like childrens' play
blocks. And this is one reasontwhyI am opposed to a tariff
revision agitation that might start things going the wrong
way

Mr.. Henry Watterson, a fellow
who runs a little newspaper down
at Louisville, Kentucky, does not
seem to be fully ere. organized"
Neither is he completely pacifed.
Henry has at times printed things
in his little paper that tickled the
republicans to a high degree of
hilarity-but this is not one Of the
times! He says:
"No real democrat can regard
Mr.. Cleveland other than as a mar
plot and a wrecker. Between him
and Bryan, we would support
Bryan5 tenStimes over. Between
him and Roosevelt, we would sup

HOW TO REVISE THE TARIFF.

HOW TO REVISE THE TARIFF.
Secretary Of Treasury Shaw's
ingenius contention that a large
republican majority should be re-
turned to the next Congress in
order to insure a revision Of the
tariff without delay will strike the
average voter as being a brilliant
example Of political humor.
Surely the secretary must have
been inWardly tickledwhen he
advanced this reason for*republican
victory at the polls. His argu-
ment, however, was made with a
straight face and was to the effect
that, with such majority, there
would bese'ample courage to do
what IS best Aparty with a Big
majority is SO much drawer, Mr..
Shaw maintains. Under such con-
ditions, he said, the republican
leaders would confer with repre-
4 - sentative business men and revise
the tariff il short order.
The average reader will be s.
occupied with the fun Of secre tary
Shaw theory that he will forget
e q resent its reflection on the in
telligence
Oh, certainly, the republican party
will revise the tariff promptly and
willingly if only 4 Big republican
majority i returned Is the next
Congress. 20 be sure, ia be sure,

Since Mr.. Winshlp's nomination
for the position of register of the
Grand Forks land Office has been sent
tosthe senate, many papers in the
state have been predicting that the
editor would turn a complete somer-
sault so far as the policy Ut that paper
wac concerned and have intimated
that he had sacrificed all the princi-
pies for which he had fought so we'll
the past few years for the appoint.
ment and that hereafter his noee
would be on the grindstone dishing up
matter to what is termed the old gang.
Mr.. Winship in a recenttis of his
paper squarely states where he stands
and says that the job was voluntary
gift to him and that he accepted the
same without any pledge OF future
course whatsoever and that the
Herald would still be battling for
those principles which it has SO ably
advocated in the past. The Courier
is pleased at this statement because
it will convince a whole lot of people
that an editor can hold Office without
sacrificing his principles. Mr.. Win.
ship is to be congratulated as we'll as

Not one person in ten thousand of
those who will read Helen Keller's
own story of her life, when it begins
in an early issue of The Ladies' Home
Journal. will have the least conception
Of the amount of hard work required to
write the story. First of all Miss Kel-
Ter puts down her ideas ''in lSraille, {"
as the blind express it; that is to say,
in the system of s'points" raised on
paper by means Of q stylus and slate
devised to aid the blind; these
''points'' being read afterward by
passing the sensitive fingers over
them. When all Of. this Braille
work has been completed Miss Keller
goes to her typewriter and uses these
notes as q guide to the rewriting of
the story.
As soon as page of matter is type
written it is, so to speak, lost to Miss
Keller, who has to depend upon her
faithful teacher, Miss Sullivan, to re-
peat it to her by spelling out each
sentence by means of the hands. It ia
q tedious task, especially as some vf
the pages have to be read again ard
again, with changes here and there
before Miss Keller is satisfied. Then.
when the proofs are sent to her, all
this slow process of spelling words
after has to be gone through once
more, SO that each word that Helen
Keller writes goes through her fingers
at least five times, It will be q satis-
faction to everybody to know that the
publishers of The Journal have rec
ognized in q substantial manner the
extraordinary ability and patience
which Miss Keller las shown in her
work,

came very suddenly All the rail
roads were bloclsaded and snow drifts
on the north side of town We're piled
up steen feet high, SO that ON Monday
