POPULAR FALLACIES ABOUT
~ 4 IDA NJ. 'TARB0LL

Ida M. Tarbell, whose new histori-
cal serial, "The Tariff in Our Times"
is just beginning in the American
Magazine, recently Travelled through
the West and South collecting mater
ial and visiting friends. While she
was on the road several old time fall
lacies about her were given fresh cir
culation-and some surprising new
ones We're invented.
one story is that Miss Tarbell got
her information about Rockefeller
and Standard Oil while serving as
private secretary to Rockefeller. OF
course, the truth is that Miss Tarbell
never met Rockefeller, and never
saw him but once. and that was in
church in Cleveland in the. fall of
1903. Her history of Standard Oil
and Rockefeller was written from
documents just as her histories of
Lincoln, Napoleon and Madame Ro-
land were written.
An interesting story was printed
the other day in a very important
daily newspaper in the south. The
writer said: "Wha influence the late
Charles A.. Dana, editor of the New
York Sun. had upon the character
and career of Miss Tarbell belongs to
that category of things that are pleas
ant, but profitless to speculate upon.
She was for several years that great
EDITORS private secretary, and soon
after she quit his service she began to
write her history of Standard OIL"
Miss Tarbell never worked on the
stan of the Sum- and was never secre-
tary to Charles A. Dana. AS an edi-
tor she had some business with Mr.
Dana at the time of the publication
OF his "reminiscences in the magazine
assisting Mr.. Dana in the collection
OF certain corroboratiye documents.
The latest story about Miss TarbelI
was created by an over heated press
agent. The story is that Miss TarbelI
IS soon to go ON the stage and take
the part of Shirley Rossmore in faThe
Lion and the Mouse al a salary of
$4,000 a week. OF course Miss Tar
bell never even considered doing such
aething.
In this connection, and to calm tbe
readers troubled spirit, a few facts
may not be unwelcome. Ida M Tar
bell was born In Erie county. Pa and
is a graduate of Allegheny College.
located at Meadville, Pa. After SER
vice as a school teacher in Poland
Ohio, she became associate editor Of
The Chautauquan in 1888, and con-
unued In that position until 1891.
From 1891 until 1894 she was a stu-
dent in Paris at The Sorbonne and
College de France. From 1894 nm
III May, 1906. she was associate ed
itor OF McClure's Magazine. In Jnlv
1906, she became associated with
John s.. Phillips, William Allen
White, F.P. Dunno, Lincoln Steffens
Ray Stannard Baker, and Others in
the conduct of the American Maya
zine. "asa-

ANOTHER MERRICK STORY.

Mr.. Leonard Merrick has shown
another side Of his versatile literary
character. THE Fairy Poodle" is an
interesting character study. The, sit
uation presents a young Erenchman
and his wife in such straits on the
morning of New Years day that they
receive notice to pay their impossible
rent or leave before six o'clock. There
Is nothing tragic about the story,
however, MOI. is there anything tragic
about the two characters, for instead
of repining they invite four of their
friends, from whom they have tried
to borrow money, to dinner that
night. How a fairy poodle intervenes
and makes the dinner party a success
is ripping good reading.

The financial condition of tn

The financial condition of the
country is improving and it is
probable that the local elevator
companies will be buying grain
again the coming week. A little
was purchased this week, but the
prices of wheat were off on
Wednesday and Thursday and
consequently local buyers pre-
ferred to go slow. The farmers
ought to get good prices for all
grain and particularly wheat, and
they unquestionably will if they
wait a little. Wheat is being ex
ported at the rate of nearly a
million bushels per day, and it
will not take long at this rate tc
exhaust the excess wheat stored
at the Twin Cities, Duluth anc
Chicago.

discussed there is still 50 wide
spread a failure to grasp general
principles and so much intelligent
difference of opinion as to details
among those who do not differ as
to general principles that the pro-
cess of securing an agreement is
bound to be a long one.
And if a new currency bill is
finally evolved it will necessarily
not go into effect Immediately.
No one seriously proposes a sud-
den abolition of the bond-secured
currency. At most a gradual sub
stitution of the wholly elastic and
equally well-secured asset cur
rency has been suggested. If any
good law should be in operation
a year hence it would probably be
so only in a degree. 1t might
take the edge off the usual fall
stringency but it would not, under
the plans most seriously discussed
and most likely to be accepted,
work a complete cure for two OF
three years.
But what is needed is a begin
ming. Whatever fallacious notion
exists as to the want of safety in
asset currency under the plan pro-
posed must be overcome by ex-
perience with such currency; and
whatever misrepresentation may
exist as to the possibility of inAa-
ton can only be overcome by an
ocular demonstration.
The fact that an extra session
of congress has been suggested,
however, affords encouragement.
1t indicates that at last the coun-
try is waking up to the dangerous
folly of continually postponing
the application of a cure to the
recurrent autumn stringencies,
which have become more and
more severe and are bound to be
severe in proportion to the in
crease in the prosperity of the
country and to the average price
paid for commodities and espe.
cially for agricultural products. II
takes more currency to move
1oo 1000 bushels of wheat at 81 a
bushel than at IS cents a bushe]
and there is bound to be less cur.
rency available for crop moving
when more commodities are being
purchased at retail-unless the
very transactions that require cur.
rency call currency into existence
to be retired promptly when it ha:
done its work.-Pioneer Press.

Congress and Currency

1llClC Will NC ITO regret lndC the
president has refused to call a
special session of congress in view
of the fact that congress could
have accomplished nothing until
long after what are now the imme-
date needs of the country had
been cared for. Those needs are
merely the restoration of the nor
NAL flow of currency. All appre-
hension has been allayed by the
manner in which the entire coun-
try, including New York, where
the storm ragged most fercely, has
stood the strain. This fact has
begot general confidence; and
while there is some difference of
opinion as to the length of time
before everything will be pursuing
its usual course, there is general
certainty that normal conditions
are coming and coming shortly.
1t is noteworthy that the advent
of such conditions is as a rule
reckoned in days and not in
months. Congress could7do moth
ing to remove the present difficult
ties though it could do a great
deal to prevent such difficulties in
the future. Today's difficulties
are for today to take care of with
such means as it has. 1t lies with
the treasury, the minis and the
banks and with business men gen.
orally to settle the immediate
problem. And they are settling
it rapidly. Money to replenish
the depleted reserves of the New
York banks is on it's way across
the ocean. AS soon as those re-
serves are restored, and perhaps
sooner, the restriction placed by
the banks of Chicago and other
cities on the free use of currency
will be removed. The steps now
under way to set free currency
enough to move the crops will be-
fore long attain their end anc
with that event the last trace o:
discomfort will disappear.
An extra session of congress
might do harm, but it coul<
clearly do no good. There is nj
need of additional currency be

there will be no change in the
judicial districts of this section of
the state until 1908. The SUI

district, holding that the law does
