Where the Money Goes.

The notice that Secretary Shaw
has served on the frenzied specu-
lators and on national banks, as "A
warning against speculative ex-
cesses, suggests how remarkable is
the change in financial conditions in
this country in recent years. Right
at the opening of the season for
moving the greatest crop ever pro-
duced, the Treasury's chief says:
1 am advised that many banks are
loaning their surplus funds through
brokers' and others In New York on
can at high rates OF interest
This means that nowadays the
money comes East to move the
stocks, instead of going West TO
move the crops. 1t is a complete
reversal of traditional conditions.
The West has the money 30 move
Us own crops. Money is plenty and
cheap out there. The West hasn't
the Wall Street fever, but it has
developed high temperature in con
temptation of rising farm land
prices. 1t has been making money
faster investing in lands than Wall
Street has investing in securities.
It's banks are stuffed with money
and when the call rate in New York
goes high the West steps in 20
finance the hard-pushed spectators.
That such a thing is possible at this
particular season, however, and in
a year when the demands for money
to take the crops TO market viii be
the greatest the country has ever
known, is an astounding demonstra-
tion of the independence that the
West has attained in a business
way.
New York is suspended halfway
between Europe and the great mid
die West It's one hand keeps in
touch with the pulse of world
finance. its other maintains hold on
the bank balances of the American
empire. New York reflects the com
posite picture produced by the
blending images of an these orig
inals.
Just now New York is in a high
fever, and it is small wonder. Tn
der the excitation OF unprecedented
crops of both gold and grain, the
world is wonderfully prosperous.
They can't get farm hands in Aus
tralia, any more than in this coun-
try. Germany and Italy are trying
TO do more work than they have
hands TO do; all the world has more
jobs than people to look after them.
Kamchatka needs help almost as
badly as Kansas.
a speculative excess at any Of the
woFJd-centers of finance might sad
ly disarrange this cheering spectacle
of a busy and contented planet.
Therefore such a warning as Secre-
tary Shaw has just issued deserves
to be received in good spirit, and
obeyed IT is fortunate that the
head of the Treasury is strong and
far-seeing enough to take a position
which so entirely proves his good
Judgment and independence.

LUNACY EXPERTS.

The ignorance of people today
On subjects in lunacy way
Is strange, very strange, when we thinH
How close we all stand 70 the brink.
'Tis hair-splitting subject at best,
This making a lunacy test.
This finding exactly the line
This getting the science down fine.
And often the one who's expert
Awake, one the subject alert,
Is leaning a little that way
AS rogue catches rogue in the play.
