While general sentiment among the
majority of the trading element and
larger operators favors further recov-
cry in prices, it is not to be expected
that any general active bull speculation
is likely to develop. In view of the
fact that the banks hold a surplus Of
only little more than their legal re-
quirements. and a continued uncertainty
of the general money situation and
further possible unfavorable develop
ments, which may come at any time
from the considerations of the Northern
Securities case. the best that can be
expected is comparatively narrow

The outlook is for a more favorable

For many years Kansas City, Kan,
has been. filled with saloons and
gambling places and it has always
been commended that it was impractic-
able to close them because just across
the street in Kansas City, Missouri,
these forms of vice were allowed to
flourish and if an attempt was made
to suppress them the result would be
a loss of revenue to the city without
Recently the people of the Kansas
city have decided to try and make
Missouri carry the load of iniquity
and so relieve Kansas of the stigma
and are asking for grand jury.

A list of Kansas papers opposed to
favoring it has been going the rounds
OF the state press in which the Kins-
ley Graphic is listed as opposed to
the machine. We hasten TO endorse
the proposition and at the same time
inquire why it is that the Kinsley
Mercury is listed on neither side.
From what we have read we have
come TO the conclusion that the Mer-
curry is also. opposed to the old re-
publican machine.

When it was proposed that the gov
should loan money to farm
ers on their farms a wild cry went up
against such an absurd scheme. 1t
was populism and would never do.
Now it is proposed to loan money to
bankers on watered trust stocks and
it is accepted as sound financiering.
To the ordinary man it would seem
as if farm land was better security
than trust stocks, but the ordinary
man ought not to trouble himself
about matters of state.-Kansas

"a Wealth Of knowledge. /"

E. W. Hoch, OF the Marion Record.
has perhaps written nothing better
than the following:
'How hard it. is for people to learn
that there is a wealth of knowledge as
we'll as wealth of dollars, and that
it is subject TO about the same laws of
accumulation, and characterized by
very similar graduation. In the ma
terial world there are paupers, and
those whose possessions vary from q
dollar to millions in value. We
classify people, financially, as pau
pers, as those in moderate circum-
stances, as quite rich, or as million
aires. But did you ever think that "a
eimilar classification of mental pos
sessions might be made? There are
the densely ignorant, the extreme Hit
crates, the intellectual panpers: and
then there are those whose checks will
be honored all the way from the kim
dergarten to the great university. aye,
to the still greater repository OF
learning-the great School of the
World. Have you had your in
tellectual bank account balanced
recently to see how you stand :
Does it show any great deposits

tory of your mental possessions to
see whether you are in moderate

thinking that this exceptlon'in finan-
cial circles is the rule in mental
realms. There are so many finished
people, intellectually, in the world.
They are on the intellectual retired

1t is said of John Wesley that he
once said to Mistress Wesley: "Why
do you tell that child the same thing
