he was never known to smoke or drink, it is said, and his only recrea- ton used to be quiet game of cards on Saturday evenings. He has keen sense of humor, but he has never been accused of being a practical joker. The Western Freight association to this day is known as 'the great re- duction works" name MT. Morton gave it when it agreed on tariff schedule that did not meet his views. i -.- .-a."A Hog For Work" As . worker Morton does not believe in letting anything drift along for a week if 1t can be settled in day. He believes in short cuts instead of round- about methods. Facts and figures are vastly superior to him than theories and fancies. An expression that Nor tons friends use when speaking of him is that he is "a hog for work"
 Thomas F. Ryan, who is in control of the Equitable, has been associated with large financial interests almost since his boyhood. His chief characteristic probably. next to an indomitable will. is secretiveness and distaste for pub licity. He was born in Nelson coun- ty, Va. in 1851. His mother died when he was five years old. and he went to live with his grandmother.
 Made Ills Way From Poverty.
 Young Ryan left the homestead and went to Baltimore in 1868 to seek lis fortune Without money or friends. he had hard row to hoe. By perse- verance he finally secured a position with dry goods commission house. Not long afterward he obtained place in a bank, and two years later he struck out for New York, where he formed partnership with stock broker and prospered so well that in 1874 he bought seat on the Stock Ex change Thds he became associated with men like Jay Gould, William R. Travers. Samuel J. Tilden and others of large influence.
 Mir Ryan in 1888 began the work of obtaining and consolidating New York city's surface railway lines. Since then he has taken prominent part in developing and organizing steam rail roads. in consolidating and extending electric street railways and lighting plants and in mana ging many indus trial and financial institutions both in the east and west.

FORGOTTEN ABOUT CAPITAL
n Railroad Extensions and Building
Prospects Capital Matters
Forgotten

Sioux Falls Critic: The crank of
this paper was i'm Mitchell a short
time ago, and found that the people
OF that e%nte1prising city had for
gotten that there ever was a capital
removal campaign. They are sure
that the corn palace town is soon to
become the metropolis of the state.
The building OF the Milwaukee
west from Chamberlain to the Black
Hills means much to Mitchell, and
on top of this they belive that the
Omaha, which is now a part of the
Northwestern system, is going to
build from Mitchell southwest, cross
ing the Missouri river somewhere
near Wheeler and connect with Elk
horn and thus secure a short cut to
the Black Hills. What lends color
to the claim is that a superintend-
ent's car pulled in last week with a
bunch OF surveyors who are figuring
upon a crossing over the Milwaukee
and are chasing around over the coun-
try southwest, tearing down fences,
driving stakes in the fields and chop
ping down orchards.
Mitchell people expect to be given
freight rates enjoyed by Sioux Falls,
Sioux City and other Missouri river
points, and become a distributing
center. They are greatly amused at
the Lilliputian efforts of the Sioux
Falls daiIies to force the Milwaukee
to stop building. 1T is possible the
maneuVers of the Omaha are made to
scare the Milwaukee out of building
to the hills. Anyhow Mitchell is
feeling so good that she has forgotten
all about the loss of the capital.

Japan's Expense Bill.

The war in the Far East, which be- gan In February, 1904, is probably drawing to a close, and it becomes in- teresting to know what its cost has been. The department of finance of the Jananese government has just is- sued book showing that the war ex- penses down to the close of the fiscal year, April 1, had been $67S,000, ,000. The total war loans had been $500, ,000,- OS., to which sum should be added a loan of $150,O00, 1000, which Japan is now placing in European and Ameri- can markets, bringing the total up to $G50.. y0,OOO.
 If Japan asks for an indemnity in money, as she certainly will and should do, she will of course ask to be reimbursed the expenses of war that Russian aggression and duplicity forced upon her. It is extremely i'm probable that she will accept less than $500, 100000, for her expenses in the present war exceed that sum.
 The expenses of the war have been met in part by new taxes. The peo- pie pay all taxes promptly The spirit of patriotism runs high, and the gov ernment has maintained the general credit and kept intact the specie re- serve which puts the currency on a gold basis.
 Before the present war was begun the public debt of Japan was but s225,- GOO ,O00, and 1t may go before it is end ed to a thousand millions. But on the other hand, an indemnity may reduce it to ante-bellum figures.

Excess of Expenditures.

Secretary Shaw kept the deficit of the fiscal year ended June 30 down to twenty-six million dollars, but the manner in which he did 1t is now made plain. In the first nineteen days of the new fiscal year the deficit was in- creased to the extent of $14,S13,3S4, thus bringing the total deficit on July 19 up to about forty-one million dollars.
 Such tricks of bookkeeping are scarcely worthy of ggSat government. They do not really serve the admin istratlon when in nineteen days the real situation stanus disclosed. The actual deficit of the last fiscal year was about forty million dollars, and Congress cannot afford to ignore the revenue position of the government. A large and increasing deficit must be dealt with, and when the subject is once opened each section and each shade of opinion will obtain hearing. Dingleyism needs a good airing. and the prospect is now good that it will get it about the time snow begins to fly again in the Washington air.

UNCLE JOE IN MUSIC.

From the New York Sun.
 At times Hon. Joe Cannon has seem ed little harsh, if not positively com pact of jars; and yet we always felt that he was full of hidden melodies.
 He is. He has just been set to music Fanciulli's splendid band' is playing "Oup Uncle Joe at Wonderland park. Danville, amid "a torrent of applause. :" The music, written by Signor FanciulIi, is described as bright and catchy" So the measure of Uncle Joe's'' fame runs over.
 Now will not Signor Fanciulli write something grand and plaintive, wstful and tender, sweet and solemn. on the Sky-scraper Statesman? Something that has in it the waving of pines, the sway ing of poplars, the weeping of willows. the tremulous waver of silver maple leaves, the gravity of cypress and the melancholy swish of cemetery grasses?
 Mir. Cannon begin the grand march. All our statesmen will want to be set to music; but we are sure that none other has so much music in him, none other can pour forth notes so mellow and mag nificent as Hon. Charles Warren Fair banks.

imminration in the South.

The New York Times discusses free ly immigration in connection with the south. The subject Is a favorite one in the northeastern newspapers, and through each article shines the fact that the northeast is as anxious to get r. ! of the incoming Italian tide as the south and southeast are to gain it. If Congress is to be kept from putting new limits on immigration, 1t will be through the hunger of the south and southwest for an increased white pop ulation-for larger labor supply. There are plenty of congressman ready to denounce Italian immigra- tion, when the truth is, 1t is better tlan a great deal that comes from Austria Hungary or from Russia. southern representatives should stand solid in the next Congress against the placing of any new tests upon imm- grafton.
