BANKERS AND THE SHIP SUBSIDY.

Business men have pretty universal
ly come to conclusion that large bon-
uses given to secure location of fac
tories or other enterprises is money
poorly invested and that a business
enterprise unable to live when accord
ed business like support is not worth
buying with charity WHAT is true OF
industrial enterprises and municipal
tiles it seems should. generally speak
ing, be true as principle of bust
ness in the question of ship subsidies
This seems to be the opinion of the
Bankers Magazine, which, criticising
the vote of the Bankers Association
favoring the ship subsidy plan attrit'-
utes the action to uasi-patriotlc
sympathy for maritime interests ratf-
er than any liking for the ship sub
sidy itself" Pushing business by

the use OF public money when private
capital finds safer and more profitable
pursuits is, us oil bankers know, an
up-hlll job. "rhe real reason" says
the Bankers Magazine, that Amer
lean ctupital does not embark more
largely In the building and operating
profitable employment elsewhere. This
being true, there Is considerable doubt
Of the wisdom OF using public funds
as a bounty to force capital to engage
In lines of activity where 1t seems In
disposed to enter OF It's own free will.
There might be some excuse for such
a policy II II could be shown that
American trade Is languishing for lack
OF adequate facilities for over-sen
transportation: but this does not app
pear to be tho case. On the contrary.
our foreign trade Is expanding more
rapidly than ever before. If we We're
paying exhorbitant rates to foreign
steamship companies companies for
carrying our products to tho worlds
markets, or n the aggregate Of freight
charges paid for this service were as
great as has been assumed, 1t is reas-
onabl,y certain that American capital
would not be Indifferent to the oppor-
tuniti,ss thus presented AS a matter
Of fact, there Is already more Amori-
can money Invested in shipping enter
prises than might be inferred from the
limited number of merchantmen fly
ing tho stars and stripes. The law
denying American registry to foreign
built ships compels our capitalists
who desire to engage In shipping to
take refuge under foreign flags So
long as 1t Is cheaper to build ships
abroad they will be built there. just
as water will continue to run down
hill until the law OF gravitation is re-
yersed"

COLLEGE ATHLETICS AND AMATEURS.

COLLEGE ATHLETICS AND AMATEURS
Jordan's articles explaining athletic
conditions in the larger colleges and
the recent confessions developing
scandal among the higher class Of
amateur athletes, call for more thar
mere passing attention. If, as Jor-
dan insists, the hig schools tire pay
ing for foot ball talent, the effect OF
| their policy does not end with tht
winning or losing OF games ard cham
pionships. No school that wins it's foot
ball games thru fraud can in,ulcate 9
high moral tone, or train tho highest
TYPE Of citizenship. High schools and
colleges that buy their athletes are
incubators for the high f1nanciers and
vote buyers Of the next generation
Straight, men are not the results OF
crooked colleges. II the desire to wit
| lis to be satisfied by the sacrifice OF
honor, the spirit and character Of the
student body must suffer. The college
that defrauds In athletics is rot safe
school
But there seems need Of some mod
ification of amateur rules. At present
the player paid from college funds Of
one kind or another is ulimolested,
while the records of schoolb0y games
is a matter OF strict investigation
Every lad who has helped out neigh
boring team for the honorarium Of a
SIS bill stands in peril Of Disqualified
ton when he makes good at college.
There is spirit of pettiness In all this
that comes close to the contemplate.
The publication Of athletics seems due
to. begin when one team grows afraid
OF the star players of another.
Last year In the Iowa State League
1t was understood that players on more
than one team were college men, play
ing under assumed names, in order to
retain their amateur standing. Doubt
less hundreds Of such instances oc-
Cured in the various base ball organ
izations. Without Analysing the char
acter of these players or their motives,
the fact that their action was winked
at by the collegians and not disapprov-
ed by the public In general, suggests
that the rules might be amended to
permit college youth during the sum-
mer season to earn, playing ball on SAL
airy enough to keep him in school next
season. To the average mind no great
crime has been committed against coll
lege athletics by this sort Of spasmodic
professionalism. The concealment in
these cases is more degene-ative of the
men and the sport than the fact that
the player got $500 for fou. months for
playing no better ball than he played
on the college field the year before or
is likely to play the year after. While
the great colleges are pay ng the price
for players, the rules should not debar
the needy student athlete, from the
more legitimate fields of summer base
ball

FROM A WOMAN'S POINT OF VIEW

and hurry of holiday shopping. But
after all. we're not depressingly sorry,
for who would miss having at least a
taste OF that pleasurable holiday ex-
element, which is only enhanced by
the knowledge that every minute OF
time Is as precious as a gift. When
one has a number of friends. not
closely associated with each other, one
idea can be converted into gifts for
number of people, instead Of racking
ones brain as to what different GIT
to make for each one. One girls ex-
pressed wish the other day was that
she had some sort of receptacle for
unanswered letters. Others who
keep up q large correspondence may
be echoing this wish. Anyway, 1T IN
spired the idea. which Of course might
be elaborated, Of purchasing
skin, which rs quite inexpensive, and
cutting the leather into pieces. say six
teen inches long and twelve inches
wide. The rest of the scheme was to
double one end up over the other, In
the form Of paper holder, lace the
ends together with thongs OF leather,
which might also be used for hanger

white fudge candy is nothing new. and
so 1t isn't, but we heard recently OF
q recipe which makes such a delicious
CONNECTION that we'll pass 1t on any
way, to others who may have grown
tired Of the popular chocolate fudge
candy. This white fudge Is made of
sea-sugar, which you remember is
very light brown in color. Any guam
ttty desired may be used, with milk
in proportion, just to make 1t suffi-
GENTLY moist to mix. Then add gen.
erous lump Of butter. the more the
better, and boil until when dropped in
cold water 1T will just make very
soft lump. Upon removing from the
fire. set away to get entirely cold, and
avoid stirring the least bit with
spoon to test 1t, as this causes the
candy to lose the creaminess which is
so delicious. When cold, beat until 1t
thickens, adding pecan nut meats, cam
died pineapple cut UP into small bits,
and candied cherries, which combina-
ton gives very satisfying flavor.

PETTY THIEYING
ON The INCREASE
Half q Dozen More Cases Re-
ported Last Night.
These Followed Several Other Bur
glaries and Thefts Earlier In
the Week.
VERY LITTLE STOLEN. HOWEVER

There seems to be an epidemic of
petty thieving in and around Padu-
cab, and, although the police are do
ing everything possible to discover
the identity of the thieves, they have
found no clue. During this week
there have been over a dozen robber-
les and in no instance has there been
left the slightest clue to the identity
of the culprits,
The store of Warren a. Warren
jewelers.. on lower Broadway, was en-
tered several nights ago and guam
tity of trinkets taken. and the fol-
owing night the restaurant of VIM
Whitehead. next door was broken in
to, and his cash register demolished.
Following this came reports of
burglaries of several residences in
the vicinity of Elizabeth and McKin-
ley streets on the South Side.
Last night the burglars piled their
art in a wholesale manner again, this
time making a better haul than here
iofore, although very little compar-
atiyely, was secured
Last night the residence of Ny.
WIN. Arnold, the express driver of
South Sixth street near Broad street,
was entered and Mr.. Arnold's trous-
ers stolen. The burglars got 81 and
his pocket knife and left the garment
in the yard This was all they Sc
cured.
The residence of Mr.. ed. Panky.
The well-known carpenter Of Sixth
and Broad streets, was also visited
rhe burglars did not enter this house,
but took a stick or hook of some
kind and pulled his trousers through
the window. He had the garment on
a chair few feet from the window
and the thieves got over 81. which
belonged to the carpenters union.
and his pocket knife.
From indications the gang then
made its way south into the Tyler
neighborhood and entered the resi-
dcnce of Messrs. A. n aud 81 +.
Sears in Tyler on the Benton road.
Nothing was taken in the A. N. Sears
apartments, but Mr.. b. f. Sears had
his trousers stolen and robbed Of a
little change and his knife. The
trousers were left in the yard alter
being rifled.
The thieves then proceeded south
and crossed the Clip Husbands farm,
leaving the gates open. AT the resi-
dence of Mr.. Charles Black, the dali
ryman, the thieves seemed to become
hungry and stopped in to clean out
the kitchen. They ate everything in
sight but left without disturbing
anyone.

Chicago, H., July 21.-Rumors
were current today regarding the IL
linois Central road which indicated
that important changes are pending
in relation to that property. It was
stated that negotiations are now in
progress for an alliance between that
road and one OF the strong North
western lines, whereby the former is
TO become the outlet from Chicago
and the Northwest generally for a
large volume of traffic to New Or
leans. The report seems to have
been put forth merely for stock job
bling purposes, in connection with the
expectation of the stock being placed
permanently on per cent, basis.
As a matter of fact the Illinois Cen
trail Is already q Northwestern road
