OVER so MILLION
IN MAY DIVIDENDS

NEW YORK. May 9.-Disburse-
ments of dividends and interest to In
vestors during May will amount to
approximately $4,000 900, as compar-
ed with $53 zoo, ,0O0 in May year ago.
The year has been one of large bond
issues and during the last few months
several important railroad companies
have made large additions to their
capital stock. But few of the addi-
tional bond issues pay their interest
in May and much of the new stock has
not been issued long enough to share
In the distribution of dividends. The
Pennsylvania and the Northern Sc
curities company will make the larg-
est dividends payment among the rail
roads and that of the former is much
the greater. These are the only rail
road companies paying out over ST.
100000 in dividends. In interest on
bonds. only the Chicago & Northwest
ern will pay out over S1,000,000 The
increase in industrial dividends is
partly offset in the total by the dis
appearance of a few large companies.

ers since last May.

The Home Journal man was much
tickled by the reply for he had ex-

perhaps two dollars Harrison street

So we cheerfully handed him the half

chirruped to his horse and ratified

pulling up informed us that we had

After finishing our business with
the proprietor of 101 East Harrison

for home and asked him to direct us to

THE EAsT's VERSION

Whatever may be said of Mr. Roose-
velts spectacular parade through the
far west by those who do not like him
politically 1t must be admitted by all
that he is the only president who ever
knew anything about us or who cared
enough to take the trouble to acQuaint
himself with our strenuous conditions.
The trip of the man on horseback with
his big retinue of newspaper winters
Will have sort of educational effect
in bringing to the notice of the effete
easterners the fact that the Rocky
mountain country is still on the map.
The eyes of the east have been daz-
zled by the sun setting behind the
Alleghenies, The splendor of that
sunset Is the outer rim of the view
from the Atlantic states and those be-
nighted people forget to look behind
the dreamy haze to find a cause for
the effects produced. AS the sheen OF
mirror Is caused by the rolled quick
silver at the back of the glass. 30 Is
the luster which the east takes as the
reflection of its own greatness created
by the real background of the Unit
yeloping. preservative west In study
ing its own ACKNOWLEDGMENT the east
has failed to look to the foundation
upon which 1t rests. 1t regards the
beauties Of the superstructure and ig.
nores crack in the walls of the
foundation, which may parcipitate the
whole body corporate into an abyss
of dependency. the slime OF financial
depression.
The east can not exist without the
west but nevertheless the 10000
people west of the Missouri are looked
upon with supreme contempt from the
lofty standard Of population num-
bering 100000 1t fails TO note that
these 100000 people are spread over
territory covering more than one
half of the entire area OF the United
States. 1t ignores the fact that these
6 1000, 900 souls produce more than two
thirds of the cereals and meat pro-
ducts which are exported from the
United States States with sufficient
for home consumption.
1t further fails to recognize that
these 100000 people furnish to the
east very nearly three-fourths OF the
raw material which enters into the
manufactures of the United States
and thereby keeps the eastern me-
chanics and unskllled laborers in en-
ployment. The visit of the president
at this time will not only serve to
awaken the inert energies Of the east
regarding our position in the country's
affairs but may also tend to create
closer relationship by sending out new
tourists and tenderfeet. as Mr.. Roose-
