New York, Jan. 19.-knowledge that
both Russia and Japan have been can
wasting the bankers in Europe and
here with regard to the possibility
of floating bonds, and semi-ofiicial con-
firmation that Russia has been turned
down by France, her best friend, in the
matter of raising funds, while the
chance of Russia getting anything in
Berlin is also considered very small,
directs attention to the internal re-
sources of both Russia and Japan for
furnishing sinews of war. 1t is thought
likely that Japan can borrow some
money-though not much-in London,
treasury and to her own people, just
as Russia will have to do.
N. Raffalovitcn, a Russian banking
expert, is quoted as saying that coun-
try has 500,000,O00 roubles in gold or
upwards of $250,OO0,OOO, to draw on
for emergency. Russia's tay is
the Bank of Russia, which has been
terrifying itself for some years. Rus
sia's gold at bank and in treasury in
November last amounted to 1914, $685.
900, silver $33 ,775,O00, while the cir
culating notes outstanding were $780,
10000.
The Bank of Japan, at the same
date, according to the report of fhe
secretary of the finance departing ut,
at Toxic, had gold holdings valued
at SET S21 47S with outstanding circu-
lation of $101 ,423, 1886, expressed in dol
lars 1t is interesting to note that since
1898 the gold SUPPLY in the Bank of
Japan has increased more than $780,
100000, while the Bank of Russia's
stock of the yellow metal has decreas-
ed, presumably in connection with the
debt refunding operations.

Will Affect Home Industries.

Japans preparations to turn the to.
bacco and other industries over to the
government as war measure for the
purpose of providing more revenue
points out the possibility that the bar
den of war expenses in both countries
will fall heavily on home industli les,
in which case Russia will have de-
cided advantage, because of her great
err wealth and resources. Some OF
Japan's chief products for export are
silk, cotton and textile articles, in
manufactured form; rice, tea and flax
seed. Russia exports chiefly grain,
oils, dairy products, timber, sugar and
fax. State control of the railroads
and of the spirits trade would no doubt
France Deeply Interested.
Perhaps more deeply interested in
war between Russia and Japan than
any other nation, outside Of the tw"
contestants, would be France, because
of the enormous number of Rus ian
securities held today by the French
people, by some estimated at $l,5Uu,-
100000, par value. This explains why
the French government has been do
ing its best to head ,off war. War
means depreciation of outstanding Sc
curities of any nation engaged in it,
as Wall street views it. The presumr
ton is that more securities will be
turned out by the government in ques-
ton, which tends not only to reduce
the market value of those Of the coun-
try in question, but of other govern
ments in whose countries a market is
sought. This is explained on the
broad principle of imitation and it is
also due to the habit of capitalists and
others to shift from one security into
another yielding a larger return on
the investment, assuming that the Sc
curity of the investment is somewhat
similar in both cases.

which was in itself a notable victory.
Since then the traffic has grown,
fares greatly reduced, the conditions
of employees bettered, and the treas
ury enriched. All this is worth think
ing about.
Today the average fare in Glasgow
is 1.S4 cents, while about one-third of
the passengers travel at a 1-cent rate.
Ten years ago employees worked long
er hours, the service was poorer, and
che fares higher, in instances as mueh
as 100 per cent. Yet in this interval
the revenue devoted to this purpose
has written on a quarter of the capt.
tai cost of all the lines In thirty
years there viii be freedom from
debt. Then il is expected that fares
will be lowered so as merely to cover
the cost OF maintenance and opera
ton.
Glasgow builds its own cars, and
freely makes needed track extern
sions. The cars are OF the best type,
and whereas ia former years they had
been marred by advertising. nothing
of this sort is permitted now. The
monetary loss by this change is esti-
mated at $4,000 annually, and the
explanation is that it is done for
"esthetc reasons" good enough

To follow the experiment. into all
its detailed workings is impossible.

Words of Caution.

Today is Sunday. It is a day set
apart for thankful worship. It should
be always a sober, serious day. And
the immfnence OF the election ought
not TO interfere with its regular OBJ
servance.
So the following caution is offered:
Either read the morning papers in
bed and have it out with your family
at the breakfast table, or stay indoors
all day and thus avoid talking poll
tics with the neigh bOrs.
Buy three different Sunday papers
two which exploit your views, and
one which does not-and sandwich
the opposition paper between the two
of your own party.
Paste a piece OF paper over the OPP
position cartoon.
Choose the longest editorial at the
outset and make the rest OF the fam
lily listen while you read it aloud.
Go TO church by all means. But
walk home alone.
Whatever Judge Parker may say in
answer to Colonel Roosevelt, reflect
that he is a GOd-fearing man, and
that you ought at least to bear your
self like one.
Finally the Bibles teach
ing Of humility, and no matter If the
issue in your election district does
depend upon your opinion and the re-
suit in the State upon your election
district, remember TO be mereiful as
you are powerful. II is well 70 let
religion sink in occasionally.

Quick Justice.

Ex-Nayor Samuel j. McCue of Char
lottesviIIe has been found guilty OF
murder i'm the. first degree. The
crime of which he stands convicted
was committed September 4, barely
more than sixty days ago. Regard
ing the outcome as based upon the
testimony and the testimony true,
this is an exhibition of justice quick
~ applied.
1t Is rare that a rich man, or one
having influential friends. can be con
victed of heinOus crime, even though
the case against him is clear. If con
victed, he can secure an endless pro
cessiOn of stays or trials until the
prosecution. worn out or disguised,
permits the case at last to be taken
from the docket The pleasing illu-
sion that all men are equal before the
Jaw is still cherished. but there are
hew incidents of record TO sustain
faith in IT.
This country. holding the cham
pionship in many things, holds that
for murders and for lax enforcement
OF the law. Tt is time, and more than
time, TO reform, for late is better
than never. Sixty days seems a short
span TO elapse between a murder and
the verdict of the jury. Indeed, in
the United States, it is fairly 10 be
deemed extraordinary Yet il ought
to be enough TO cover any emergency
but the unpreventabi5 absence of
witnesses, and it should mean some
thing instead OF being the first step
IN a series of technical and useless
formalities.
Convict muTdeTers within sixty
days, infict the punishment within
another equal period. and there viii
soon be a lessening Of the shocking
total. Murderers loose their passions
because they are students OF events
10 the extent of knowing that they run
small risk OF serious Inconvenience.

Social DeDTaVltU.

RefOrmeTs have much to say con-
corning the deprayed. Some of these
reformers are earnest ana humane.
They do more than talk To them
cTiminology is to be studied. not with
the end OF devising punitive meas
ures, but in a search for causes. For
the unfortunate who has been guilty
of theft they have a genuine pity.
They say: why did this nan be-
come a criminal? Was it not due TO
reasons that may be remedied? Let
us find and remove them" A similar
spirit extends to the abandoned
woman OF the pave.
Doubtless, out of this kindly agita-
tiOn there comes q substantial good.
Yet, in search for the degraded, and
the influence that has compassed their
undOing, there is not always occasion
to scan the lowest social stratum.
Just now the papers of New York
are filled with accounts Of the con
duct Of a young man who is the scion
of a millionaire family. He seems
10 have been ordered from a hotel.
together with a chorus girl. after he
had refused to register himself and
her as husband and wife. His asso-
citation with this girl had been motor
ious.
The family is deeply concerned. 1t
deplOres the possibility that the pair
may be married. although for them
TO be married would be their only
chance to be decent. A proper. con
Germ might be that this gilded youth
had neglected the formality Of a
wedding, for individually, the girl,
whatever she may be, is as good as he
is; but no such concern is felt. The
sole fear is that the son has taken the
only manly course. II he has done
this, he is to be cut otf from the large
income It has been his wont to waste.
but II he hes merely displayed on two
continents an open and shameless de-
fance OF law and convention. he is
to be welcomed, and his stipend con-
tinued
II this is not an instance of de-
pravity, glazing and vulgar, there is
immediate necessity for creation of a
name for it. It also may afford diver
sion for the refOrmers who have con-
fined their investigations 10 the
sIums.
The mother Of this girl says she
will horsewhip the fellow and spank
the girl So far she is the only per
son directly interested in the episode
who has spoken a word Of sense.
