Not Everybody a CRATER.

1t is all right to keep right on
persistently whacking away at the
grafters, but it is not worth while
to conclude hat everybody is
grating. 1t is true that we hear
this on the street, in the press
and in the pulpit. Nevertheless,
it isn't true. There are many
honest, clean men in this land OF
ours doing manly work, day by
dav, who are meyer talked about,
never suspected, never thought OF
in any mean way. They are busy
doing the distinc. work that has
been given them to do and they
are doing it quietly. steadily and
we'll. They are not stealing eth
er time or money. They earn ev-
cry cent they get by the sweat of
their brow and find that life means
more to them because there is a
growing passion for work-their
particular work. These are the
men who form the vast majority
Of toileIs; these are the men who

According to the papers, DR..
B. f. Ward, the President of the
State Board Of Health, has not
been away from Winona, nor to

has published an address to the
people urging the strictest sort Of
quarantine, and commencing the
shotgun variety, with an absolute
closed door to all railroad and

According to hin, before rail-

except here carried by q boat;
and that stopping of the two
would step the fever. While DIR.
Ward accepts the mosquito theos

he ignores his teachings, vouched
for by both the State Board of

Tax on Money Loaned.

=
that meets next January promi-
ses to be very busy one; it will
have its hands full in adopting the
new code, if no other business
came before it; the Governor will,
therefore, in all probability, re-
frain from recommending for.ac-
action all measures that do not
seem to be urgent; for although
the session may be prolonged be-
yond the usual period of sixty
days, it is always at serious in
convenience to q majority of the
members, and is apt to be pro-
ductive Of hasty legislation thro'
the desire to get through and hur-
ry home, to attend to the private
interests that are clamorous in the
Spring.
While, as we say, the expedi-
ency of restricting recommends
tions is recognized, yet we cannot
forbear directing attention to one
much needed measure, which, in
lew of the exceptional move
ment, commercial and industrial,
now on, seems to demand imme-
date action. Reference is had to
the tax on money loaned, which
ought to be abolished in all cases
where the interest charged is six
per cent or less,
The processes Of development,
now so active, need money to
speed them; in most of the money
ceDters or larger municipalities,
where money is loaned, the ag-
gregate of this tax, State, county
and city, amounts to about three
per cent; in some cities more, in
others less. The lender does not
pay it; it is charged to the b0r-
rover and becomes, therefore q
tax upon enterprise-a hindrance
to progress.
Remove this tax and money
could be borrowed in large
amounts, for legitimate under
takings at from i've to six per
cent, and more than this, it would
be an invitation to outside capi-
tai to seek larger employment in
this State. Remove this tax and
many thousands of dollars would
be offered for loan at o moderate
rate of interest, that now seek
other fields of investment. More
over, many enterprises that would
be started on five per cent. mon
ey, hesitates to venture where the
interest charge is eight and ten
per cent.
It should be borne in mind that
the borrower, the man who is adj
ding the States taxable values,
must bear the burden Of this tax
on loans; and he, certainly, ought
to be the last one whom wise
public should seek to hinder and
opprese. The three per cent must
be paid out OF the moneys earn

DETAILS OF CONFERENCE.
Nothing Tangible Obtained by Witte's
 Jewish Visitors.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 14,-A free exchange of views on the subject of the condition and treatment of the Jews in Russia was had tonight in a conference between NJ Witte Baron Rosen and Oscar Strauss. Jacob H Schiff, Isaac N. Seligman and Adolph Lcwisohn of New York and Adolph kraus of Chicago.
 The statement was made by the del cgation calling on the Russian envoys that nothing tangible resulted from the discussion but future benefit was look cd for. The financial condition of Rus sia was not mentioned in the discus sion and was not suggested as a'topic of conversation, according to Mir Strauss.
 After the conference which conclud- el ten minutes before midnight Mir. Strauss made the following statement:
 M Witte explained with much frapkness the condition of the Jewish population of Russia while the Amer lean gentlemen endeavored to explain to the Russian gentlemen the state of public opinion in the United States and to impress them with the impatience on the part of the American people with the restrictive and suppressive laws exercised by the Russian govern ment against its Jewish subjects

NJ Witte Is prepared to ex- plain to them the attitude of the Rus sian Government, the present situation and the contemplated changes in exist ing conditions regarding the Jews MT Schiff and his companions will remain here over night.
 It is authoritatively stated that no question of a Russian loan Is involved.
 MT. Straus said:
 T would further say that the Rus sian Jewish question must be settled in Russia Emigration no matter how large 1t may be, can only anect the outer surface. NJ. Witte. I have un- derstood, has seen with his. own eyes while in this country the progress that has been made among the Russian emil grants to America and what he has seen cannot fail to have an influence upon him, in indicating the way 10 make the Russian Jews helpful in the upbuilding of that empire.
 T regard the whole question as a very simple one. It only involves giv- ing all the subjects of the emperor equal rights. That I regard as funda- mental"
 MT. Straus was unwilling to speak of the specific program which the dele gation might suggest to MT. Witte for the improveemnt of the Jews in Russia.

Ever since I was in the army, had more or less kidney trouble, and with in the past year 1t become so severe and complicated that I suffered every thing and was much alarmed-my strength and power was fast leaving me. I saw an advertisement Of Swamp Root and wrote asking for ad- vice. I began the use of the medicine and noted decided improvement after taking Swamp Root only a short time. I continued its use and am thankful to say that I am entirely cured and strong. In order to be very sure about this, had a doctor examine some of my water today and he pronounced it all right and in splendid condition.
 I know that your Swamp-Root is purely vegetable and does not contain my complete recoverey and recommend ing Swamp-Root to all sufferers I am."

From the Washington Post
 Philadelphia, July 2S.-Although in the making of bronze statury the sact- ing Is a very important and willy neces- sary operation, there are only seven foundries in the United states where such work Is done, and one of these Is in Philadelphia Perhaps. indeed, 1t is just because so much depends on the founder and so great must be his skill and his knowledge of the sculptor's art that the founderies are so few. A great deal of such work is turned out in this country, and every now and then foundery Is started, only to make failure because of lack, in the operators, of the peculiar skill needed, The business is queerone. too. for which 1t seems hard to get skilled workmen.
 The making of marble statue is done entirley by the sculptor, or by workmcn and students in this studio nd under his personal supervision.

Army Inspector Said Four Merchants Offered Him 1000 to Approve
 Consignment of Goods to
 Schuylkin Arsenal.

Philadelphia, Aug. 14.-An investiga- tion of clothing and other contracts at the Schuylkill arsenal, one of the sup ply depots for the United States army which was begun last week by Major H. F. s. Strong of the Inspector Gen eral Department was continued today.
 There has been considerable trouble at the arsenal for some time and fre- Quent charges have been made that the government was being defrauded out of thousands of dollars through the fur nishing of inferior goods by certain contractors. So far the inquiry has been confined to the contracts for furs. Among those examined by Major Strong today were Robert Charlton and E. F. Beckett. assistant inspectors of the arsenal Carlton said that a firm of garment makers had attempted to bribe him by offering him $2,000 if he would be easy on them in his inspection of their goods. He refused the money and informed the commandant of the arsenal last week of the affair. Charl- ton also said that he has been ap- preached several times by other con tractors.
 Inspector Beckett said that he had frequently put his stamp of approval on goods which he knew should have been marked inferior. He did this, he said. by orders of his superiors. He was an old soldier, he said. and always obeyed orders. Major Strong with his assis- tants called at the office of Loeb, Lip per X Co.,, which firm had held the gov- ernment contracts for the purpose of taking the testimony of Joseph Loeb a member Of the firm. MT. Loeb how ever refused to answer questions. A visit was then made to the fur estab- lishment of Theodore Seifert who In- II, rYt- who offered him a $2.000 bribe. In answer to Major Strong's questions MT. Seifert made an absolute denial to the charges.
