COINS AFTER FALL TRADE.

Chicago newspapers are commenting
etiitoriaIly on the fact that there, are at
least one third more merchants from
the country visiting the jebbing houses
at this time than in former years. The
facts are that employment has been
so wide spread and the crops are so
enormous that fall trade is bound to
be unprecedented.
Are the country merchants alive to
the necessity of advertising their
wares? Advertising in volume as ex-
pressed in dollars now exceeds the
wheat crop. 1t is the very life of

BANKING SAFEGUARDS NEEDED
rSio,,x civ Journal


The recent heavy bank failures in
time of national affluence have set the
people to thinking. The failures have
not been due to general financial con-
ditions, but to dishonesty. The banks
figuring in the sensations were among
the most trusted in financial circles. 1t
was supposed by the depositors that
their interests were we'll guarded. 1t
was supposed that the supervision OF
the bank examiners made crooked
work hard to conceal. The disclosures
of years of stealing in the face OF
periodical inspections by the bank ex-
aminers have shaken the confidence of
many in the safety of the entire bank
ing system. 1t is natural sequence.
The question is being asked, How can
such dishonesty be guarded against
Can the bank examiner be given bet
ter facilities for ascertaining the true
state of things? Is it possible to de-
wise some method of checks and ball
ances that will allow less latitude to
bank officers and those having access
to the banks money, and make the
opportunity for defalcation more diff
ficult and the opportunity for detec-
ton if any is attempted more certain
and speedy?
1t has been suggested that forgery
of notes and mortgages might be made
difficult by some plan for Independent
certifcation of such papers thru
lines over which the banks would have
no supervision or control. Such a plan
would have cut short Stenslands work
in this line before he could have real
lied on his first paper. This plan, how

WHAT THE GOVERNOR SHOULD SAY.


In certain quarters to cultivate the
) Impression that Governor Cummins
has agreed to slide down the pole
for the sake of harmony on the tariff
question In a way it would appear
that certain parties seeking. consoia-
ton from the convention result some
where have grasped at the hope that
the governor might be forced into a
position Of personal humiliation. at
least this 10 the impression that is
sought to be conveyed. Julian Rich
ards says that the governor has prom
1 Used to be good for sixty days.
Such Journalism is both unwise and
unfair. If the journalists are dispos-
ed to find solace in a platform which
was purposely designed broad enough
10 admit all republicans upon common
/ ground it is fatuous to an extreme to
crowd the governor into emphasizing
his personal beliefs as to he details
E Of tariff revision, for these gentlemen
should know what the governor would
SAY under such circumstances 1t is
unfair to him when as victor and mas
Ter Of the whole situation he is trying
Il to be fnagnanimous and tolerant to-
ward the svanquished.
When Governor Cummins makes his
opening ADDRESS his best friends will
Sbe disappointed In him If he does, not
make clear that there is an honest
difference of opinion among republic
Scans as. tosthe. time at which revision
Of some Of the Dingley schedules
should be made The public should
u know that the governor himself be-
Il lieves such revision should come now
when republicans are in control OF all
branches of the federal government
There is no occasion for the governor
to dissemble or keep silent on this
point He has always declared himself
TO be as greatly solicitous about pre-
serving all necessary protection to
American industry as any republican
living or dead. If the governor We're
commissioned to revise the Dingley
schedules single handed, he would
guard the protective principle jealous
fsly, changing only those schedules
(which were higher than necessary. He
q can hold views of this kind and be
Just as good republican as any man,
for we all know that mary schedules
are both unnecessary and too high.
The governor should then show
wherein he differed from some other
i republicans in that he was willing to
recognize that other republicans could
asbe lust as honest and az. earnest in
the faith as himself and yet
believe that revision should eth
Ter not come at all or not
until some future time. He should
welcome republicans of such belief to
stand with him on the Iowa platform
and face the common enemy which
purposes to destroy all protection by
substituting tariff for revenue only.
He could explain that republicans
could argue and even scrap among
themselves in pre- convention cam
paigns as to when revision should take
place, but should stand together when
Ii is proposed to destroy the principle
Of protection. Such speech would
serve notice on his personal enemies
that he had merely been insulted by
their sneering demand to give us
good republican speech, just once"
and 1t would notify all republicans
that the governor was worthy of Lead
ing the whole party on broad grounds.

The Poets at the Ball Park.
[By HI. Bedford Jones in the Sunday
AMagazine.]

Scott:
At once there rose so wild a yell,
AS all the fans upris'n from hell
Had pealed the crooked umpire's
Forth from the stands, in tumult
driven
Altho for long they'd bravely striven,
The vain police appear
And, fists appraised unto the sky.
With "Robber Traitor! Snide!"
their cry,
The fans rush in the rear.
Omar:
o thou. who, midst the ever tickle
band
Vert steadiest, every act and move
ment planned.
O, thou of all the model, thou, in
whom
My hopes and cash were conferred
hast thou famed?
Across the field, all studded with the
OF hurrying men and glittering in
the play
OF lights and shadows, rose the
white sphere.
And they who g,,zed were dumb:
and then arose
A roar that made the towers and
pinnacles
Resound again the shout.
Hemans:
The batsman stood beside the plate,
For hone-run prize athrist;
He hit the ball ar, awful crack
81 And then was nailed at first.
Coleridge:
A weary time! A weary time!
How glazed each weary eye!
He struck again-.the ball uprose
And swiftly climbed the sky
And soon it seemed little speck;
And, lost within the mist,
1t fell beyond the right-field fence
A homer, sure, l wist.
Ingoldsby:
The captain rose, with a dignihed
look.
And a bat from nearby sack he
look.
In holy anger and pious grief
He roundly cursed the rascally thief:
But the umpire commanded him
go, for brief
Space of time to-Well,
Just then. with yell,
The bat on the umpire's Uranium
fell,
And forth from the grand stand
and bleachers wide
Came the roar eff murder sancti-
fled.
Gray:
The whistles, shl'ieking, tell of part
ing day;
The crowd toward waiting cars be-
takes its way;
The umpire, crouching meath the
players lee,
Leaves the long field to coppers and
to me.
