We are apt to go TO extremes in this
country. 1t is only by fits and starts that
the public shows practical common sense,
preferring either utter indifference or
shrieking hysteria. We insist upon making
heroes apparently only to pull them down
from the pedestals to which we have raised
them. In our exuberance of suceess-wor-
ship we literally force men into absurdities
and then jeer them off the stage. 1t is not
so long that the dedication of the great
captains of industry was going at the
rate of a thousand columns week. Today
we are using the same amount of newspa-
per space to declare them to be, ali of them,
vulgar grafters and nothing else. One would
imagine that there was not railroad that
did not violate the law several times min
ute; that there was not a stock that was
not two-thrds water; not q syndicate that
did business legitimately: not a banker that
did not misrepresent his wares to the pub
lic We have gone to the other extreme 1t
may be unjust In a measure, but 1t cannot
be denied that Vt Is deserved. The point TO
bear In mind is that this state of affairs Is
less important from the financial than from
the ethical side. 1t Is of less moment to
know that the public may or may not flock
back in numbers to the brokers offices than
1t Is to know whether we are to expect a
scrupulous honesty in high financial quar-
tiers In the future. In the meanwhile, II will
bssoove the buyer of securities to look care
fully before ne leap3.

Of the little nurries which occasionally stir
thing up around them. Miscellaneous and
widespread demands upon capital promise
to keep interest rates up for good while
ahead, but with the return flow Of money
frona the west and south the situation is
certain to relax and funds for speculation
must become more abundant. This inflow
Of money from the interior may be later

ments being retarded in many sections.
The forthcoming Russian loan OF $3.50 600.
600 will have to be provided for in part IN
this country, possibly to the extent of $I5,
100000, and that will tax somewhat the re-
sources of the great banking interests.
Their representative Is already on the way
to St Petersburg to arrange for the Ameri-
can allotment. The bulk of the loan will
be taken in London. Paris and Berlin. The
domestic situation seems almost fawless,

Interest Rates Advanced.

Time money rates and interest on COM
mercial credits moved upward. and there
was some calling OF loans at the stock ex-
change. The higher rates for interest re-
duces the profit on the holding OF dividend
paying securities on margin and adds to
the vulnerability OF the market to pressure.
The moderate return on securities at the
present high level of prices contrasts with
the rising rate OF interest on loans pointing
TO the opportunity for profitable use OF
funds in other fields than the securities

Deaf School

Senator C. I. F. Wagner of
Rolla, and Representative J. w.
Watson, Of Willow City, were
delayed by train connections in
reaching home after the adjourn
ment of the legislature last Fri
day, and spent the time looking
over some of the state institu-
lions. They were here Monday
and made an investigation Of
the deaf school.
To an Inter-Ocean representa-
tive, they expressed themselves
as well pleased with the institu-
tion. They spoke volumes for
the business ability of Superin-
tendent Bangs when they said
they could not see how the in
stitution was kept to it's present
high standard and efficiency on
the money it had received.
Both gentlemen are good
friends of the state institutions,
and while neither believes in ex.
travagance the institution may
rest assured that they will have
fair treatment at the hands OF
these gentlemen.
Asked as to the prospects Of
the enactment Of a primary cleo.

the bill had already passed the
senate. 1t was amended SO that
when a constitutional amend
ment shall have been adopted by
the United States providing fol

CAUGHT IN THE NETS.
Schooner Belle" Makes Port at
Kenosha After a Unique
Accident Thursday.
FISHERMEN HAVE A BIC LOSS.

The schooner "Belle' which came
into Kenosha harbor late Thursday
night met with an unusual accident
while making the run from Wauke-
gan to Kenosha. The captain of the
boat is in the potato business and af4
ter short stop at Waukegan on We'd
nesday evening he started northward
to Kenosha.
Fearing the hard blow that existed
in mid-lake the captain decided to
hug the shore pretty closely and after
he had gone some four miles north
from Waukegan the boat suddenly
stopped and although there was a
strong wind behind her it was impos-
sible to get her to move. At first the
sailors thought that the boat had
struck a reef but later investiga-
ton showed that she had been caught
fast in fishing nets owned by Wau-
kegan fishing boat. The crew at
once started to work themselves free
of the nets but the job was no easy
one as the schooner had been COM
pletely surrounded by the nets. After
the boat had been held in the nets for
more than four hours tug went out
from Waukegan and released her and
she continued to Kenosha without
further incident.
The accident was an expensive one
for the owners of the nets as it is
claimed that they were damaged to
the extent of several hundred dollars.
The nets were owned by Captain
Smith of Waukegan. 1t it alleged
that he will have no action against
the captain of the schooner and will
have to bear the loss of the unusual
accident

A Letter to Mayor German Says
City Should Help in Inyesti-
CATION Of the Harbor.
COMMISSION HERE JUNE 81.
Mayor is Asked to Have a Committee
Ready to Meet the Commission
and Plans Prepared to Show
Conditions in kenosha.

Mayor James German is in receipt
of letter from 'aLieutenant Col. w.
H. Bixby who is at the head of the
commission recently appointed to in
vestigate conditions in the kenosha
harbor advising him that the COM
mission will be in eKenosha on June
u. In this connection Col. Bixby
urges the Mayor to see to it that the
city renders everylpossible aid to the
commission in its work. This is a
matter Of great interest to Kenosha
and the people of the city interested
in the Improvement of the harbor
should at once take some steps to
have theirI objections put in
tangible form so that it may be pre-
scented to the commission. The
members of the commission will be
able to spend but few hours in Ke-
nosha and if the people of the city
are DESTROYS of securing an appro1
priation for more harbor work they
should have everything in readiness
to lay the matter properly before the
commission when it arrives in the
city. The letter of Col. Bixby fol-
lows:
Chicago, Illinois, June Z, 1905.
The Mayor, Kenosha, Wis.-Dear
Sir; The Engineer Board appointed
by the War Department to investigate
the question of wave-action on GER
tain Lake Michigan harbors, with a
view to the better protection of the
harbor against such wave-action and
to i'm prove the harbor entrance ac-
cordingly, will probably arrive at
your city on the morning or after
noon of June 9th.
The Board will probably desire to
make brief trip out through the
harbor to the Lake and return, after
which it will be glad to receive any
statements from yourself or others
interested in navigation matters, so
far as such statements will concern
the better protection of the harbor
against waves and the better naviga-
ton of the harbor entrance .during
storms It is desired that such state
ments, so far as practicable, be in
writing, SO that they Gamble left with
the Board for its later consideration.
Owing to our other duties and the
other visits which the Board must
make, our visit to your city must
necessarily be exceedingly brief.
The Board is liable to be accompan-
led in its trips by the Hon. ]. H.
Davidson, the Hon. r. P. Bishop, and
the Hon. H. A. Cooper, and perhaps
one or two of the Pere Marquette car
ferry officials.
The members of the Board itself
are myself, Major L. H. Beach of
Detroit, and Major D. D., Gaillard of
Washington.
Any assistance you can render
toward the harbor inspection will be
much appreciated.
Very truly yours,
w. H. BIxBY.
