MATTER@

Henry Clews, in his weekly Financial Review, oct.
rs, gives some reasons for the unsatisfactory money out.
look as shown ia the continued frmness of foreign ex.
change and the probable export Of gold. The reasons are;
First, the tendency of our international trade balance
continues unfavorable. In September our imports show
ed an increase Of nearly SlS,OO0.OOo, while our exports
showed a gain Of less than 100000. This great increase
in imports was the natural sequence of our remarkable
industrial activity. the bulk of the gain being in raw
materials or those only partially manufactured, intended
to satisfy the unusual demands Of consumers. Our
exports are large. but their growth is not sufficient to
high prices of commodities generally tend to discourage
the outward movement. This is especially true Of cot
ton, the backward movement of which has not yet been
Offset by the free outward movement of grain.
Another important factor in the exchange market Is
the fact that our banks sul have on deposit a large
amount of Japanese funds subject to call at any time.
Still another element in the situation is the weak
ness of the Bank Of England and the Bank of Germany
in face of the heavy prospective Russian loan. The bulk
of this issue will, of course, be placed in Europe, France
being in a particularly favorable condition to make sub
scriptions. The amount of the loan is estimated at $3.50
100000. and 1t is expected that fully one-half of this Will
be raised in France, which is not only favorably disposed
to Russian investments, but has a large accumulation of
idle capital awaiting employment.
Mr.. Clews concludes: Our general business situa-
ton continues promising. The chief danger ahead is that
of excessive speculation: high prices and prospects OF
continued activity arising from the great prosperity OF
the interior being exceedingly powerful stimulants. 1t
will require all the foresight and ~self-denial which our
bankers and business men can exercise to prevent the
country from running into a career Of reckless specula-
ton. A speculative debauch would promptly check pres
ent prosperity, and the selfinteTest of all parties calls
for conservative action and much selfrestraint. The
outlook is brilliant and satisfying, and over-anxiety to

IGNORANCE OF LITERATURE
BY AMERICAN COLLEGE GIRLS
San Francisco Chronicle

Some discouraging statements regarding American
college girls ignorance of literature are contributed by
jeanette Marks to the October Critic. AS the writer re-
marks, what other people read determines their reading,
and they will take their Shakespeare only disguised and
diverted in the gorgeous dress of the spectacular by Mar
lowe, Sothefn and Henry Irving; they will take their
Dante not at ALL know two college girls who in their
senior year asked who Dante was; and if need be they
will use their Homer in translation as a reference book
IN her experimenting at Mount Holyoke College the writer
obtained some astonishing results. On matter which was
required for the entrance examination these were par
Jiculariy noticeable-for example, a year and a half after
the examination. out of 1856. %fftythree could not tel

or seventeenth century would have been accepted as cor

teen students did not attempt to assign him at all"
The test in general reading, such as the students
might have been expected to obtain at home. were eqauly
disastrous. One hundred and h~ttyfour did not know
who wrote Don QutXote'; one student, hard pressed,
made Marion Crawford the author. Sixty had never
heard of Thanatopsis, and this striking name was spell
ed in every fashion, from 'Annatopsis' to 'rhanatophia.
~Forty-fve could not tell who wrote the Divine Comedy
Forty did not know who Henry Esmond was, one confus-

never heard of BurneJones. and 1923 were unfamiliar
with William Morris. These last two questions among
others were given to test general information more or
less intimately connected with literature. OF spelling |

THE SWEAT BOX

Detectives will not allow Cuniife, who robbed the
Adams Express company of 100000 TO sleep or rest until
he discloses the hiding place of the missing cash."-News
Item.
1t is not so stated but it is altogether likely that
Cunlife was subjected not only to loss of sleep and rest
but also TO brutal treatment by detectives who sometimes
do rot hesitate to commit a crime in order to disclose
one, or to make an innocent prisoner appear guilty. The
instrument used is called the sweatbox. It is a relic OF
cruel ages, un-American and unlawful. 1t belongs to the
time of the Inquisition and has no proper place in mod
en methods of crime. detection. The old common law
plainly says that no man shall be forced to incriminate
himself. And all statute law is of the same purport. The
sweatbox is for the purpose of making a man incriminate
himself.
bound to respect. No officer should be permitted to force
a plea of guilty from unwilling lips by threats or cruelty.
The few facts that leak out from the sweatbox concern
ing the methods employed by policemen and detectives
make ones blood boil. To say nothing of putting strong
men to the torture, frail women and children have been
forced to pronounce themselves guilty because of bar
barous treatment. Many of the persons who are arrested
on suspicion and put upon in the sweat6ox do not know
their rights in the premises. If they did there would be
some sensational trials of officials.
The inquistorial procedure is a sixteenth century
method. 1t is not native TO this country. II has been i'm
ported. 1t comes from China, where criminal law is the
most arbitrary and cruel thing in the world. The arrest
and punishment Of some of the sweatboX officials would
put a check on the unholy practice.

PERILOUS PROPOSAL

1t is rumored that the cali of the territorial republ-
can central committee to meet in Santa Fe on Friday
of next week, is for consideration of a proposal that the
committee publish an official protest against the passage
by congress of a joint statehood bill.
The Citizen finds it difficult to believe that such
rumor is founded on fact, for the following reasons:
Joint statehood is not a political question in New Mexico.
all parties having some for and some against it. Hence,
it is a question altogether outside of the jurisdiction of
the republican central committee as such. 1t is hardly
TO be supposed that the committee, acting in their capac-
ity as the governing body of the New Mexico republican
party, would be so unwise as to place the party in direct
conflict with what is well known to be a national party
measure. The enemies of joint statehood, at this late
day, would materially weaken their cause by such action,
inasmuch as it would be an open and unmistakable ad-
mission that they are afraid to permit the questions
submissinon on its merits TO the voters of the territory,
after their long insistence that the people of New Mex
leo are overwhelmingly opposed to iointure.
However, if such is the purpose, the public viii know
il in a few days. Nevertheless, it may not be amiss to
warn the movers in this matter, provided always that
such is their purpose, that there is no other way in which
they can so largely and permanently injure the repub-
lican party in New Mexico.

his chattel:
"Pompey, | hear you are a great preacher"

Well, Pompey, don't you think the negroes steal
little things on the plantation?'

A West Philadelphia grocer relates that some few
days ago a little girl entered his store, and laying down
a dime, asked for ten cents worth of candy.
Its for papa" she exclaimed. Il want TO 'spise him

The grocer displayed several kinds. but none seemed
to strike the fancy of his young customer, who finally
said:
Give me carameis; l just love caramels.'
But | thought you wanted them for papa said the
grocer.
Il know assented the little girl, but when l give

a generous little girl he'll give them all back to me, so
you'd better give me caramels."

There is rejoicing not only in Russia, today, but
throughout the civilized world, az the cars promise to
grant that country, without further |boodshed. a constl.
tutonal government. But it must not be forgotten that
such a government has not yet been organized, that the
promise was wrested from the car by force of condi-
tions he was not prepared to resist, that even in the
promise he styled himself the autocrat by the grace OF
God, that he will have abundant time and opportunity
20 white his promise down to almost nothing, that even
WHITE himself is none too progressive in the matter of
popular government, that the privileged class hold
nearly all the wealth Of the country and are opposed 40
the people ruling, that this wealth can always command
the service OF lEs brutal and bloodthirsty COssacks, that
the most powerful and the most intOleraut priesthood
on the face of the earth, oppose popular government
and that this bigoted priesthood has absolute sway over
mind and soul'of the most numerous, stolid, ignorant
superstitious and non-progressive peasantry the world
ever saw. The Citizen rejoices over any improvement
in the governmental conditions OF Russia, but it fears
that for a long time il will be a case of small fayors
thankfully received.

Concerning the proposal 10 put the life insurance
companies under federal supervision, a suggestion from
the Ohio Policy Holders association reaches the heart
of the matter. The association urges that in taking over
the supervision from the states the government should
set a limit upon the loading" of premiums. This means
in life insurance parlance, adding TO the ascertained cost
OF carrying Insurance a certain amount 10 pay the ex-
penses of the oompanys management. The rates are
simple. The cost of carrying a policy at a given age is
derived from statistical tables. The amount that should
be added for legitimate expenses is easily ascertaiued.
Regulations Of this kind would put a limit upon salaries,
induce economy and prevent large accumulations OF sur
pluses, the manipulation Of which has given rise to so
much scandal The cost Of administration Of American
companies is twice that Of the European, say the experts.
