A DEMOCRATIC OPPORTUNITY.

While the representatives of corpor-
alton interests in the senate and among
the newspapers are urging compromise
with the trusts and endeavoring to
cripple the rate bill by attempting to
arouse partisan prejudice to the ad-
vantage of the opponents of the bill
by the plea that the democrats will
gain credit for measure brought from
committee by the aid of democratic
votes and presented to the senate by
a democrat, it is informing to see the
view taken by leading democratic
newspaper. The Atlanta Journal re-
fuses to believe the president has
weakened and refuses to consider the
measure from a partisan standpoint.
The Journal says:
So far as the credit is concerned
We believe that neither the president
nor the democratic leaders are worry
ing about that. We believe that all
the friends of efficient rate regulation
recognize that this is not partisan
measure, but patriotic one. Senator
Tilllnan is the champion of the bill in
the senate now, and in spite of the fact
that he does not particularly admire
Mr.. Roosevelt, and has said so more
than once. he is a big enough man not
to let that consideration plunge him
into partisanship because of the presi-

Another "Ross' Quits.

"Pat" McCarren, the Tammany man,
is going to quit politics and devote
himself to the turf. Two years ago he
was ambitious to become the really
great American plunger. Then his
$4,000 bets We're quite common. He
had a hard luck streak and lost an inn
mense sum Of money, He was so had
up that he was unable for a time to
take up his markers" but he made
good all his obligations to the book
makers, sold his race horses and re-
tired from the race track for time.
This year he is on the turf, apparently
as we'll fixed financially as he ever was.
Some evil-minded persons say McCsr-
rem bets John D. .Rockefeller's money.
They do not mean Mr.. Rockefeller has
taken to gambling, but use this method
of insinuating that the senator, as leg
islative agent" of the Standard Oil Gas
Trust, has been paid literally by Mr.
Rockefeller for his influence with The
rural legislators.

Enoch Arden In Divorce.

The story of Enoch Arden with some
variations was repeated in Chicago
court the other day by Mrs. Mary o.
valid, who sought to have her marriage
with William G.. Oswald annulled. Roy
Fl. Eastman, a clerk in a railroad Of
flee, was the "Enoch Arden" of the
story related to the Judge by Mrs Os-
valid.
The domestic history of Mrs. Oswald
dates back to May 13, 1903, when she
and Eastman were married. They
lived happily together with East
mans mother, the court was told, ull-
til one day the husband disappeared.
Il waited in vain for a letter." said
the witness, "but no word came from
Roy. Then my mother-in-law inform
ed me that her son had obtained d.
vorce at Fargo, N. D. At this time Mr.
Oswald was calling on me. / asked
Roy's mother if she was quite sure
about the divorce and she said she
was SO January 2S, 1904, Mr.. Oswald
and / were married"
Were you happy with your second
husband also?" queried the judge with
interest.
"Oh. yes" continued the witness.
but one evening there was knock at
the door. / opened it and was dunn

ing here? / asked. I thought you ha1'
secured a divorce"
Explanations followed, but Eastman,
unlike the hero of the book who lief:
his wife with her second husband,
insisted that she should return to him.
The complainant said the man threat
ened to have her arrested on charge
of bigamy.
(Which one do you love now?" asked
the court.
well, don't love either of them any
more" replied Mrs. Oswald, "for when
Roy came back William left me i'm :
mediately / wish to have my mar
riage with him annulled and then In
tend to apply for divorce from my
first husband, who is earning $75 q
month, and should be made to con-
tribute toward my support"

from both husbands, you know" re-
marked the court.

CAUSE or the MONEY srRIHGEAcY.

A. B. Hepburn. formerly comptroller
of the United States currency, and now
president of the Chase National Bank
& New York, discusses in the March
number of the North American Re-
view, the Cause of the Recent Money
Stringency.' Mr. Hepburn recalls the
fact that, from November LIST to jan
uary 9Th, the rates for call money in
New York city ranged from per cent
to 125 per cent per annum. These OBJ
normally high rates have been gem
orally assumed to be the result of our
faulty currency system, superadded to
the evils of our sub-treasury system
With this assumption Mr.. Hepburn
Joins issue. He insists that there has
been, within the last five years, an
expansion Of currency more than COM
mensurate with the growth of popula-
tion and business development. Hence
the cause of the stringeney must he
sought elsewhere. Mr.. Hepburn thinks
that the stringency was caused by the
fact that, while we have grown rich
rapidly of late, the growth of business
has required added capital, which is
different from currency, in volume ex-
Hepburn:
Statistics show that 80 per cent of
all the business consummated thru
banks is done by means of checks and
drafts. This auxiliary currency pos
sesses perfect elasticity, expands and
contracts without let or hindrance tax
or supervision, and responds to the de-
mands of trade completely and perfect
". 1t his certainly expanded to meet
the demands of trade during the period
under discussion. The only thing this
auxiliary currency covers before is dis
trust. and it necessarily contracts when
credit is curtailed. Optimism, aud not
distrust, has prevailed for several years
past. Our currency, which at best does
less than 10 per cent of the business of
the country, is blamed for these abb
normally high rates, and congress is
appealed to for legislative remedy. 1t
is difficult to see how our currency
consuinmating less than 10 per cent
of the business Of the country, could
be given sufficient elasticity to prevent
q strfngency in time of distrust or un-
der conditions recently prevailing
itn our currency larger in volume and
per capita than ever before, with uni
yersal optimism prevailing and our
bank credits phenomenal in amount
are we not forced to acquit our cur
rency system and seek elsewhere for
the cause of recent high money rates 2
The present is not the first occasion
when our currency has been unjustly
accused. The far west and southwest,
surrounded by latent wealth, requiring
only development to convert the same
into actual tangible wealth, clamored
for more currency, thinking that If the
volume were increased it would some
how inure to their advantage. What
they needed was more capital; what
they thought they needed was more
currency.

OLD TIME CATTLE PRICES.
[Belle Plaine Union.

J. G.. Van Meter is in receipt OF
letter from p Bonfleld, an old friend
at Kankakee ILL.,. enclosing memoir
andum of some cattle sold by Mr.. Van
Meters father on the Chicago market
in october, 1850. The letter and
memorandum are particularly interest
ing as showing the increase in the
price of cattle now as compared with
ffty-five years ago, and the crude
methods of handling at that time. At
ter some personal references, Mr.. Bon
field goes on to say:
II enclose you what is to me a very
interesting paper. a statement of the
sale of 367 head of cattle in October,
1850, belonging to your father. IL
would appear that the weights were
dressed weights: that at that time
cattle were not sold on the hoof, but
were slaughtered in Chicago and
weighed separately, and from this 1t
would appear that the only demand
was for home consumption, local trade
At that time, I think, the railroads
were not finished into Chicago but
only to st. Joe and perhaps Michigan
City-perhaps the Michigan Central to
St Joe and the. Lake Shore unbuilt.
When built the Michigan Central put
you on a boat at Detroit and the Lake
Shore at Toledo, which landed you at
Cleveland and Buffalo, and conse-
quently there was no shipping east of
live stock. Pork was at that time gen

with this statement.

Many believe that in SO far as Gov

that to allow the railroads and cor

turning the wheels of progress back
for ten years at least.
Governor Cummins' bold and agrees
sive fight for the control of the affairs
of the state by the people rather than
