Mr.. ]. Pierpont Morgan undoubtedly
expresses the opinion of most men in the

the difficulty in the stock market caused
by "undigested securities" is sure to dis

Big bankers and promoters know their

on old lines and stand for substantial adj

rations.
In time they will all be sold. Trade is
sound. Credits are secure. The land is
growing richer every day. 1t is only
necessary to wait coolly until the country

rate which goes with mistaken confidence
in values and the near future. When
bankers lend on call at per cent. and
ask as high as II and Is per cent, as was
asked yesterday, the banks feel there is
risk of sudden change and are preparing
against it.
The simple fact is-and forty interviews
cannot change it-that the view that the
"undigested securities" will all be taken
care of is only half. The other half is
that before this is done there may be a
time when 1t will be hard work to borrow
money. Such times mean lower prices.
This prospect keeps investors out of the

The general situation is sound. Indus

General Press Comments.
LABOR LEADERS PAY.
N. Y. Commercially

N. Y. Commercially
Isn't it high time for John Mitchell to
strike for higher payP The United Mine
Workers of America, for which organiza-
ton he acts as president, gives him a
salary of only $1,000 a year. Let us see
what some of the other chief executives of
organized labor are gathering in as salar-
les:
Grand Chief Engineer p. M. Arthur of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
gets S., 900 a year; Grand Master John
Hallihan of the Brotherhood of Firemen,
$4,000; Grand Master P.IH. Morrisey of
the Brotherhood OF Trainmen, $1,000; f..
Z. Clark of the Order of Railway Conduc'
tors, $1,000; Samuel Golnpers of the
American Federation of Labor, $1,000.
The secretaries of the labor presidents re-
ceive from s., 500 to $500 a year each;
chief clerks $4,000 and the editors $500.
Simon Burns of the wlndow-glass workers
receives $1,000, and Dennis Hays of the
bottlemakers much more than Mitchell.
None of these salaries could be called
"prncely," or even high. The railroad
mems organizations pay their leaders
more literally than any Of the other
national unions do. 1t will be noted, too,
by the above imperfect list-but the same
holds true throughout-tbatt these labor
leaders salaries are not graded in confor-
nifty with the relative size of the organiza-
tions; perhaps not according to the re-
lative pay Of the members or to the
amount of work exacted. On the fret or
the last Of these bases President Mitchell
could lay claim to salary much higher
than Chief Arthur's for instance. In the
latter's case, however, it is quite generally
conceded that he has led his forces more
wisely than any of the other presidents.
He has generally discouraged strikes, but
has ALWAYS managed to hold the highest
respect Of the engineers as we'll as of their
employers. He apparently earns his
money and more too.
If Mitchell ever expects a "raise," he
should take pattern from Arthur and those
other leaders whose policy is always
peace"

VARIETY OF FARM PRODUCTS.

Last week we published an extract from
a letter written by Mr.. F. ]. Kimball,
president of the Norfolk and Western
Railway Company, to a committee of
Iazewell gentlemen. Mr.. Kimball in
that letter spoke in the most ftattering
terms of the agricultural resources and pos
tibilities of Tazewell county. The sugges-
ton he made that our farmers were not Civ
ing enough attention to raising certain
kinds of products is worthy of attention.
He mentioned fresh vegetables, poul'
try, eggs and particularly fresh milk and
butter, and declared his belief that the
development of the business of dairy
products could be made very profitable
here.
1t has been part of the policy OF the
Republican" to try to awaken the atten'
ton of the farmers of the county to the
Importance of producing greater variety
Of products for market. We have writer
O ur views number af times on the poul
try business, and have been grati6ed tt
notice constantly increasing interest IL
that business. The money value OF th'
fowls and eggs that are shipped from
Tazewell is increasing considerably each
year, and they are destined before grea
while to become leading features with
our farmers. Those who have been test
ing it find that 1t pays better than any
other business in proportion to the money
invested. We agree with Mr.. Kimball IL
his view that too little attention is being
paid to dairy products. The Pocahontal
coal field now furnishes market tina
would take large quantities of milk anC
butter that ought to be supplied from thu
county. Instead of having surplus o
those PRODUCES, however, to furnish tt
consumers in the coal field, our farmers
are not producing near enough for home
C assumption. Here, in the town OF Taze
well, for the past two months consumer
have been forced to buy for their tables
ie,,eomargerine as a substitute for butter
Thousands of pounds of this compound
will be consumed in a section that claims
to be the finest bluegrass region on earth.
We know that grazing cattle and sheer
has proven a very profitable business to
and farmers, but we sincerely believe that
such the smaller farmers would find that
things as Mr.. Kimball has suggested more
profitable than grazing AS we have
stated above, the poultry industry is each
year becoming more interesting and profit
able, and we hope that some of our farm
ers will at once make test of fresh vege-
tables and dairy products as business for
profit.

Dow DeBoer's Record.

Alton Democrat.
Dow DeBoer, of Alton, is strictly in line
with the recent teachings of President
Roosevelt as to the raising of large fami-
lies. At his home last week the sixteenth
child was born and all are living. There
is one pair of twins in the flock. An ex-
change says the size of the average family
in the United States is four persons and a
small fraction of person-the husband in
many cases being the small fraction. So
It will be seen that the DeBoer family is
about four times the size of the average
and it can scarcely be said that Dow is a
fir action, either.
